EDITOR’S NOTE
Hi, hello. The depths of this nuclear winter seem to be subsiding, and I’m able to wear just a pullover today when facing the great outdoors. Little wins. Take them as they come. Wash your face, floss, eat leafy greens, automate your savings, text your friends, minimize blue light.
Anyway, let’s tap into today.
LUXURY
So Good They’re Out of Stock
Very few of you click into items in the luxury section, so I’m just going to drop two dimes on you this week. Lemaire's Dispatch Jacket is a unisex denim piece that blends utility and style. The snow olive color adds a unique twist to the heavy snowy denim fabric. With its boxy fit and multiple pockets, this jacket is both comfy and useful. The design includes a hidden button placket and a point collar, giving it a clean look that works for many events.
Officine Générale's Ulysse Jacket in Italian cotton corduroy is another a smart choice for the cooler months. The dark sepia hue adds depth to your outfit, while the corduroy texture brings a touch of classic charm. This jacket features a point collar, two patch pockets, and horn buttons for a refined look. Its regular fit allows for easy layering, making it a great option for both casual and semiformal events. It’s so good you can’t even buy it anymore!
WORKWEAR
Shades of Green
Rosa Rugosa's Dufferin Chore Jacket in Kelly Green is a modern take on workwear style. The jacket has a boxy fit, four patch pockets, and a sturdy cotton twill fabric. Its vibrant green hue adds a pop of color to any outfit, while the unlined construction makes it ideal for layering. This piece is perfect for those who want to add a touch of utility-inspired fashion to their everyday look.
Stan Ray's Fold Beanie in green is now on sale. This cozy hat has a ribbed knit design that fits snugly on the head. Made from 100% acrylic, it keeps you warm in chilly weather. The beanie can be worn with the cuff down (condom-style) for a casual look, or folded up for a more fitted style.
STREETWEAR
Hamcus Pants
Claim: men that truly love fashion love pants the most. It’s easy to love jackets and shoes. Those stand out right away. But pants are for the connoisseurs. They’re about your own experience with your outfit. Getting complimented for your pants feels 1000x better than getting complimented for your jacket. It’s just true… With that, here’s a streetwear brand that truly understands that universal truth.
Hamcus’s X3_12-Twist Vertebral Pants take cues from aquatic life, with a design inspired by eel anatomy (yup). These pants have exposed soft-tissue pads, an elastic waistband with buckles, and hidden zip pockets at the hips. A unique thigh-to-shin twisting zip lets you change up the style, while the WaxTech™ fabric keeps a record of your wear patterns over time.
Next up, these Loadmaster Stitched Padded Pants blend style and utility with some smart details. They have a part-elastic waist with buckle straps, hidden zip pockets, and cargo pockets on the hips. The double-layered cuffs sport a worn-in look, while paratrooper cords let you adjust the leg opening. LP-related prints add a unique touch to the overall design.
FORMAL WEAR
The Classics Never Die
This next-level cable knit sweater is a vestige of past commitment to quality and durability. The dupe from Left Field NYC has a perfect description, so I won’t even try to do better:
This is Inspired from a Irish sweater design Steve McQueen wore. We chose to head to the motherland to get some of the finest wool yarns from Donegal Ireland. These are made from 60% Fine Irish wool, 40% New Zealand Wool. The colors are incredible as the texture. I won't bother to try to explain the delicate and labor some process of spinning this yarn so instead please watch this video to hear it directly from the craftsmen at the Mill in the local Donegal brogue.
Belgian Shoes have been going strong for 70 years now. I went into the 55th and Park boutique today (the only location they have), and found out that my name wasn’t on the 6-8 month waitlist despite asking to be put on it in July…. Devastating. But you know what, these puppies are willing to wait for. Having a pair of the Mr. Casual in any shade of brown or black is an important goal of mine. Footwear is the foundation of every outfit, and what better tone can you set than CALF LEATHER THAT FITS LIKE A GLOVE?! I am truly so excited, and hope others are as well. Happy 70th birthday to the Belgian Shoe.
OFFICE WEAR
Good Lookin’ Overshirts
Ted Baker's Belza navy jacket is a sleek option for office wear. This quilted piece has a stand collar and zip closure, keeping you covered without looking bulky. The jacket's side pockets add function, while the subtle branding on the sleeve gives it a touch of style. It's a solid pick for layering over your favorite sweater or shirt when the temps drop.
Massimo Dutti's new cardigan blends comfort and style with its soft cotton-blend knit. The piece has a relaxed fit and a subtle V-neck, making it easy to layer over shirts or tees. A standout detail is the chest pocket, adding a touch of casual if not functional flair to the classic design. Nobody seems to use a cardigan’s waist-level pockets, but bringing them up to chest level feels like a huge unlock for some reason. Available in the above gray or rich brown hue, this cardigan is a smart choice for those looking to upgrade their casual wear game.
ONE LAST THING….
