EDITOR’S NOTE
Hello to my new readers that came through the WSJ! I appreciate your presence.
Welcome to TIM, where we focus solely on product and divide up a short newsletter into (up to) five sections: luxury goods, workwear, streetwear, formal wear and office wear. Once a week on Friday’s at 5pm ET. Capiche?
Anyway, let’s tap into today.
LUXURY
Two Chukkas
This chukka sits on a flex sole that bends with each step, while the Madison calf leather keeps its shine over time. The Barrie last gives your toes room to breathe, and the flat wax laces stay tied all day. Made in the USA, the boot is built with Goodyear welt work, so you can resole it when the years catch up. It's a choice for those who want a boot that fits dress pants or denim without trying too hard.
Alden's unlined chukka in snuff suede wraps your foot in soft grain without adding layers inside, keeping the boot light and less stiff. The flex sole moves easy, and the Barrie last gives a relaxed fit up front. Goodyear welt build means this boot lasts through years of wear and can be brought back to life at a cobbler. The suede picks up some character with age, so expect a lived-in look that only gets better.
WORKWEAR
Slick Track Suit Combo
The Tribeca hoodie is made with a blend that pulls sweat away from skin and dries fast, keeping you ready for the gym or a quick errand. It has a brushed inner side for soft feel, thumb loops to lock sleeves in place, and a hidden phone pocket with a zipper. The fabric helps block smells, and the seams are flat to skip any rub or itch. This one moves well, looks slick, and holds its shape after washing.
These joggers match the hoodie above and use the same quick-dry, anti-odor fabric that handles sweat without clinging. The fit is tapered with a bit of stretch, and the waist has a cord inside to lock it down. Side pockets hold keys and phone, while a back zipper pocket keeps cards secure. The cuff sits tight at the ankle, giving these a clean look that works for a workout or just moving through the day.
STREETWEAR
Pale Bottoms
SS26 pieces from Jun Takahashi’s brand Undercover. You can’t buy these online. I’m just showing you for educational and aspirational purposes.
Ditto. Not purchasable except for in a few select retailers. ❤ you Jun.
OFFICE WEAR
Great Rugby Shirts
AYR's Go Team polo is made with a cotton-modal blend that's soft, breathable, and holds its color through regular washing. The stripe pattern runs across the chest, and the knit fabric has a bit of stretch for comfort. A collar and short sleeves make this easy to layer under a blazer or wear solo. It's a solid choice for days when a button-down feels too formal but a tee isn't quite right.
The Go Team in Navy uses the same cotton-modal knit as the stripe version, with a clean, solid tone that pairs with most pants in your rotation. The collar sits flat, and the fabric drapes without clinging. Short sleeves and a hip-length cut make this polo easy to tuck or leave out. It's a go-to when you need a touch of polish without the weight of woven cloth.
As always, thanks for reading!
