UNIS FW 2011
It’s no secret that UNIS makes some of the best chinos you can get your hands on. Handmade in the U.S with an incredible fit, not skinny enough to cut off circulation to your lower half but not leaving you enough room to fit you and a friend or two in the same pair either. Consider it a...
Persol Made By Hand
To illustrate the work that goes into hand-making each pair of glasses, Persol presents Made By Hand. The iconic 649 and 714 frames often worn by Steve McQueen simply look good and have always been some of my favorites. Utilizing high quality materials and craftsmanship developed since 1917,...
Rose & Born
Stockholm based Rose & Born is one of the most intriguing stores I have come across in a good while and my only wish was that I could visit in person. My suggestion is that if anyone would happen to be visiting the region and have a bit of cash burning a hole in your pocket, definitely...

Warriors Of Radness ...
“Well, summer’s just about over, and it looks like we’ll have to take the party to the backyard fire pit out here in Southern California. But with the nights getting longer it just means there’s more time to drink more beer, smoke more herb, and #%&@! more chicks.” For...

Brothers Ariel & Shimon Ovadia have in a relatively short time created one of the best menswear lines for hand tailored goods available, and likewise a cult following of style conscious gentlemen. For their fall campaign, they have enlisted the help of Justin Chung and Lawrance...
D.S. Dundee F/W 2011
UK based D.S. Dundee offers us one of the freshest collections I have seen this season. Not rooted in classic menswear but taking a contemporary approach to old British heritage, the collection makes use of great classic fabrics and manages to look a bit old fashioned but refreshingly...
Raval & Knight ...
It seems as though the transition from summer to fall was almost nonexistent and I have found myself reaching for layers instead of shorts and madras shirts. If your looking for some pieces to add to your wardrobe for the colder months ahead Raval & Knight certainly has a few things that...
Ian Velardi Fall 201...
Although new to me, but certainly not new to designing by any means, Ian Velardi is only in his second season under his own label. Having put in stints at both Hickey Freeman and Hart Schaffner Marx, it’s an understatement that Velardi has a firm understanding of American menswear. The...
