EDITOR’S NOTE

Busy as a bee today! As a matter of fact, a wasp's nest was removed from my home on this actual day. So I mean that both literally and figuratively.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Purple Label.

I mean… Ralph Lauren's Purple Label has released a luxe cardigan that blends suede and cashmere the way God Himself would be impressed with. This piece features a suede panel on the front, adding texture and visual interest to the ultra-fine Italian cashmere alongside it. The cardigan's design strikes the right balance between casual comfort and upscale style, making it a standout item in Ralph's sweater bag. While currently out of stock at some retailers, it’s available on Neiman’s site now. This cardigan represents Purple Label's commitment to high-end materials and craftsmanship in menswear. 10/10.

WORKWEAR
Enormous REI Sale

As of today, there is a full-blown, catalog-wide sale at REI ocurring with over 2,000 pieces actively marked down. This is a great sale. Brands like Helly Hanson (up to 50% off), Patagonia (up to 40% off), Arc’teryx (up to 40% off) and Marmot (up to 50% off) all have nearly a hundred styles apiece that are discounted. Some of the good brands are ending their sale at EOD today, others go through the weekend. Act fast if you have any workwear gaps that need filling.

STREETWEAR
Rick Owens DRKSHDW

The most affordable entrance to Rick Owens you’re going to find on the internet is happening at HBX right now. These Chuck 70 High Tops are $125, and the rest of the sale is full of drop crotch shorts and pants, hoodies, boot cut jeans and synthetic knit tops. DRKSHDW is a diffusion line created by American designer Rick Owens in 2005. It's a more casual, streetwear-focused offshoot of his main label that brings his avant-garde aesthetic to everyday pieces. It’s just like what CDG Play Converse (the ones with the heart animations) are to main line Comme des Garçons.

FORMAL WEAR
C&J Loafers

Crockett & Jones offers the Boston loafer in dark brown suede, and it’s arguably the perfect penny loafer. This shoe features a single leather sole and is made on the brand's 314 last, known for its comfort and shape. The Boston is one of Crockett & Jones' most popular shoes, crafted from a single piece of leather for a sleek look. Available in various materials including calf, suede, and grain leather, the Boston is a go-to choice for those seeking the best craftsmanship on the market.

OFFICE WEAR
Cozy Knit Blazer

I have to stop with the knit polo wave eventually, so…. Introducing the knit blazer! Faherty's Inlet Knit Blazer offers the coziest blazer ever posted on TIM. Made from a cotton blend fabric, this blazer features a unique knit texture that provides both softness and stretch. The slim-fitting design is both tailored and relaxed, making it suitable for various settings from casual to semiformal. With its wrinkle-resistant nature and multiple pockets, this blazer is a practical choice for the modern man's work wardrobe.

ONE LAST THING….
Vintage Patek

Get in while the market’s down: $199,950! Jokes aside, this is one of the best Patek Philippe watches I’ve laid my eyes on. Plenty of complexity in a relatively demure package for a Patty, but still enough pizzazz to signal that you consume conspicuously, which is the only reason you’d ever buy this timepiece. Who doesn’t want moon phase information right on their wrist?
