EDITOR’S NOTE

We have an Editor down here at TIM. Going in for a diagnosis of what is likely an MCL sprain. Lmk if you know of any good knee braces 🥴 

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Auralee Denim

This shirt from Auralee uses selvedge denim that feels soft but still has that crisp, clean look we want from good denim. The cut is relaxed, so it drapes well and works on its own or over a tee. We like the deep indigo shade, which fades with wear and gets more personal over time. The details are simple, but the fabric and shape make it feel special.

Auralee’s denim pant uses a hard twist yarn, which gives the fabric a dry, sturdy hand and a sharper look than most jeans. The fit is straight but not too loose, with a mid-rise that sits right where we want it. We notice the clean lines and neat finish—no wild logos or distressing, just good denim in a deep blue. These break in well and work with sneakers or leather shoes.

WORKWEAR
Merino Options from Icebreaker

This long sleeve tee uses light merino wool, so we get comfort and breathability in a fabric that resists odor. The fit is relaxed, with a chest pocket for a bit of utility, and the weight works for layering or on its own. We like how it keeps us cool when it’s warm and helps us stay dry when we sweat. If you want a shirt that handles work and weekends, this is it.

This shirt mixes merino wool with plant-based fibers, which makes it even lighter and quicker to dry. The cut is easy, with raglan sleeves for better movement, and the fabric feels smooth against our skin. It’s great for long days or travel, since it keeps us fresh and packs down small. This is the kind of layer we reach for when we want comfort and low fuss.

STREETWEAR
One Clean Bomber

18 East’s WEP Flight Jacket takes cues from vintage military gear, with a cropped fit and sturdy cotton fabric in a washed army green. The big front pockets and snap closures give us both style and function, while the ribbed cuffs and hem keep out the breeze. We notice the lining is soft, and the shape feels modern, not boxy. This is the jacket we throw on when we want to look sharp but not try too hard.

FORMAL WEAR
Savile Row Bespoke: Anderson and Sheppard

Thinking about what true luxury is, it’s hard not to go to the extreme and consider bespoke tailored suits. They are made specifically for you, with choice of fabric, space, cut, etc. As you may know, Savile Row in London is frequently understood as the pinnacle of bespoke men’s suiting.

Anderson & Sheppard is one of the best names in British tailoring, known for soft-shouldered suits and a cut that lets us move with ease. Their team has deep skill in making suits that drape well and feel light, even when the fabric is thick. Every detail, from the hand-sewn lapels to the smooth lining, shows care and know-how. If you want a suit that feels made for you, this is the place.

OFFICE WEAR
Summer Steeze

The Brera blazer from 18 East has a relaxed fit and is made from a textured cotton-linen blend in a muted stone color. Patch pockets and a soft shoulder give it a laid-back vibe, but the shape stays sharp enough for meetings or dinner. We like that it’s unlined, so it feels cool even when the weather heats up. This is the jacket we reach for when we want to look put together but still feel at ease.

Todd Snyder’s linen pant has a drawstring waist and a loose leg, so it feels easy but still looks neat. The linen fabric keeps us cool, and the sage color works with almost any shirt or shoe. These pants are perfect for days when we want to stay sharp at work but not overheat. We keep coming back to these for summer in the city or a quick trip out of town.

ONE LAST THING….
