Put This On

Our Beloved Sponsors

Twice a month, we like to thank our sponsors for supporting our site. Our sponsors this month include Cottonwork, Flint & Tinder, Frank Clegg Leatherworks, and The Hanger Project.

Cottonwork sells custom-made shirts over the internet. You can order by either submitting your measurements online or sending them your best fitting shirt to be copied. From there, they have a nice online interface for you to work with as you design your shirt. Basically, as you make selections for the collar style, fit, and cloth, you get to see your shirt being built in real-time, so that you have an idea of what it might look like. They also have a free starter kit you can order from their website. In it, you’ll find some coupon codes for your first order, some sample fabrics, and a measuring tape.

Our second sponsor Flint & Tinder specializes in American-made undergarments, including undershirts, boxers, briefs, boxer-briefs, and socks. This summer, they’re also launching something they’re calling The All-Summer Board Short. It’s basically a pair of swimming trunks that you can also use as regular shorts (they have belt loops, pockets, and don’t have any crazy patterns that would limit them to the water). The idea is to give men the option of buying a pair of swim trunk that they can actually wear all summer long, even if they don’t go near water that often.

Our third sponsor is Frank Clegg Leatherworks. Frank Clegg, the proprietor, has been making leather goods for over forty years. Today, he makes a range of leathergoods and accessories out of his workshop in Fall Rivers, Massachusetts. He has a pretty big selection of things he sells in his online shop. There are briefcases made out of a sturdy harness belting leather (which is a kind of vegetable tanned leather treated with extra fat liquors during the condition process), some travel bags made from shrunken leather, and some wallets, card cases, and iPhone sleeves for people looking for small gifts.

Finally, our last sponsor is The Hanger Project. As their name suggests, they specialize in high-end hangers, but they also sell a range of other things, such as Saphir shoe care products, closet organization accessories, and neckties.

So thanks to all four of our sponsors for their support. We genuinely appreciate their support.

Our Beloved Sponsors

Here at Put This On, we feel quite fortunate to have companies sponsor our work as an independent menswear blog. So twice a month, we like to give them a special thank you. This month, we have four sponsors to thank.

The first is Cottonwork, a company that provides men with custom-made dress shirts that can be bought over the internet. They have a free starter kit for new customers, which will include a coupon code, some sample fabrics, and a measuring tape. The measuring tape can be used to obtain your own body measurements, which you’ll then submit online. If you’re uncomfortable with providing measurements, you can also send them your best fitting shirt to be copied. Once the cut is determined, Cottonwork has a large range of stylistic details you can choose from, including these eyelet collars you see above, which can be worn for a more retro look.

Our second sponsor is Flint & Tinder, a new company working to build a line of American-produced undergarments for men. Their core product line includes boxers, briefs, boxer-briefs, undershirts, and socks, but they also have a more general shop with products that share their company’s American-made ethos. Flint & Tinder got started off Kickstarter, and last month, they broke a Kickstarter record by raising over a million dollars for a hooded sweatshirt that’s guaranteed to last for a decade (meaning, customers can have a free mending service for the first ten years of the garment’s life).

Next, our third sponsor is Frank Clegg Leatherworks. Frank has been producing leather goods for over forty years, and today, he has a workshop in Fall River, Massachusetts, where he makes a wide range of bags and accessories for both men and women. He sells things such as briefcases made from harness belting leather, which is a kind of vegetable tanned leather that has been treated with extra fat liquors during the conditioning process, and travel bags made from shrunken leather, which is a material that looks like pebble grain, but instead of having the pattern stamped on, the leather is actually shrunk in order to take on its dramatic, textured effect.

Finally, our last sponsor is The Hanger Project, who specializes in high-quality clothing hangers, but also has a wide range of clothing care products and men’s accessories.

So thanks to all four of our sponsors this month for their support. We genuinely appreciate it.

Our Beloved Sponsors

Twice a month, we like to give a special thank you to the companies that sponsor us. Our sponsors this month include The Hanger Project, Ledbury, and Flint and Tinder.

The Hanger Project, as their name implies, specializes in high-end wooden hangers, each of which are designed to best support the garments they were intended for. They sell much more than hangers though. This month, they have a special project going on with CEDES Milano, the company that makes accessories for G. Lorenzi. CEDES is best known for their work in turning exotic horn and tusks into things such as knives and shaving brushes. The stuff looks extraordinary, though it is fairly expensive. If you’re looking for more affordable items, check out The Hanger Project’s line of Saphir shoe polish, garment brushes, and cedar closet accessories.

Our second sponsor, Ledbury, started as a shirt company, but they’ve grown to be a much fuller menswear line. They just released three new summer sport coats in a range of different blues, for example. They also have a new spring necktie collection, and as a thank you to our readers, they’re offering $20 off any shirt and tie combo. Just use the checkout code PUTTHISON. Lastly, if you follow them on Facebook, you can participate in their “Design-A-Shirt” contest. That’s where Ledbury fans can weigh in on new shirt designs and the company will produce whatever is the crowd favorite. Voting on a shirt option also enters fans to win any shirt from Ledbury’s collection.

Finally, our third sponsor is Flint and Tinder. They sell a line of undergarments made from long-staple cotton, produced and manufactured in the US of A. These include boxers, briefs, boxer briefs, undershirts, and socks. If you’re good on underwear at the moment, Flint and Tinder also offers various leather goods, tools, and accessories in their Men’s Shop, each of which carries the Americana heritage spirit that the company is built on.

So, thanks to all three companies for their sponsorship. We genuinely appreciate it.

Our Beloved Sponsors

Our big thanks to three companies for sponsoring our blog this month. Though we write our site out of a love for classic men’s style, it’s nice when companies come and support what we do. 

Our first sponsor is The Hanger Project, who as regular readers know, sells high-end, specialized hangers for things such as sport coats, trousers, and suits. They even have cedar hangers for ties. Cedar is particularly useful in a closet since it’s a natural way to protect clothes from moths. It helps mask the scent of things moths are attracted to (like bits of food that have fallen on your clothes), so hanging this will not only protect your ties, but also any garments nearby. The Hanger Project sells much more than hangers though. You can turn to them for almost any garment care product you can think of, as well as accessories such as over-the-calf socks. Over the calf socks have the advantage of not slipping down throughout the day, so that your bare calves won’t show when you sit down.

Our second sponsor is Ledbury, who specializes in men’s shirts, but also sells sport coats and various accessories. For this upcoming spring and summer seasons, they’ve been building out their warm weather shirt options (tons and tons of gingham) and are introducing a new line of spring/ summer neckwear. Their latest batch of ties comes in an assortment of unique material combinations and bright seasonal colors. Highlights include a series of mélange knit ties made from a combination of light/ dark linen-silk yarns, a light blue cotton-silk houndstooth, and several bright silk basketweaves with subtle geometric shapes. Each tie is made in Como, Italy using Italian silk, French linen, or Egyptian cotton.

Finally, our third sponsor, Flint & Tinder, is new to our site. They recently got their start by raising money off Kickstarter to produce a line of American-made men’s undergarments. This month, they’re working on a new project: something they’re calling The 10-Year Hoodie. It’s a hooded sweatshirt that’s guaranteed for a decade, and backed with a free mending service. As of now, their Kickstarter for the project has impressively raised over three-quarters of a million dollars, making them one of the most successful - if not the most successful - clothing-related project Kickstarter has seen.

So thanks to all three of our sponsors for their support. We genuinely appreciate it.

Twice a month, we like to thank the companies that sponsor our work here at Put This On. This month, our sponsors include Cottonwork, The Hanger Project, and Ledbury.

Cottonwork is an online company that provides men with custom, made-to-measure shirts. To have a shirt made, you can either punch in your measurements online or send them your best fitting shirt to have the size and cut copied. All of their shirts are made with a high stitch count (which makes their seams nearly invisible) and single needle stitching (which is cleaner and neater than double needle). Care is also taken to make sure all the patterns are matched along the sleeves, shoulders, and pockets, thus allowing the eye an easy transition as it moves from one part of the shirt to another. Cottonwork gives all of their shirts a 60-day alterations or exchange guarantee, and if you like them enough to refer a friend, they have a referral program where you can get $10 off your next order.

Our second sponsor The Hanger Project sells high-quality clothing hangers. Their hangers have wide, curved shoulders and come in four different sizes. This allows them to best support the shape and structure of a suit jacket or sport coat. Since starting, however, they’ve expanded into a wider range of clothing care products and men’s accessories. For example, they now sell a shoe care products, laundry care items, and various things related to personal care. Kirby, the founder of the company, also has a full shoe care guide posted on his website, which covers almost everything you’d ever need to know about the topic.

Finally, our last sponsor Ledbury started off in men’s ready-to-wear shirts, but has since expanded into sport coats and men’s accessories. This Thursday, March 21^st, they’ll be holding a pop-up shop in Charleston, at the city’s epicenter of shopping, located at 275 King Street. The pop-up shop will go until Sunday the 24^th. In anticipation of the event, they’ve created a Charleston-inspired Short Run collection that will drop tomorrow. However, as a thank you to Put This On readers, they’re giving readers here the first chance to shop their latest limited-edition collection.

So thank you to all three companies for their support. We genuinely appreciate it.

We feel quite fortunate to have companies support our independent work as a style blog, so twice a month, we like to give them a special “thank you.” Our sponsors this month include Cottonwork, The Hanger Project, and Ledbury.

Cottonwork, an online company for custom made-to-measure shirts, just started a referral program. You can now give your friends $10 in store credit, and when each of them make a purchase, you earn $10 in return. They’re also continuing to give free starter kits to anyone who requests them. Inside will be some sample fabrics, a measuring tape, and a discount coupon on your first order. You can use the measuring tape to submit your measurements online, or you can send them your best fitting shirt to copy. Should you want some tweaks made on that shirt – such as asking for the sleeves to be lengthened half an inch – they can do that too. To learn more about how to take advantage of online custom shirt companies, you may want to read part five of my custom shirt series.

Our second sponsor, The Hanger Project, just got a bunch of new products in. Included are boot shoe trees from La Cordonnerie Angalise. They’re expensive, but The Hanger Project is the only company in the United States that has anything like them. They also have some flat waxed-cotton shoe laces, which can be an easy way to change the look of an ordinary pair of shoes, as well as Stark & Sons’ ties. Stark & Sons’ dark blue grenadine was purportedly one of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s favorites. Oh, and of course they continue to sell their flagship product: wooden hangers that are built in a way to best support a jacket’s shoulders and shape while it’s being hung.

Finally, we have Ledbury to thank. They’re continuing to grow into being more than just a shirt company. In addition to their sport coats, ties, and scarves, they just got in their new line of handmade, bridle leather belts. And for the coming spring and summer seasons, they’re expanding their line of warm weather shirts. These include a rather wide range of tattersall check and gingham designs. On my count, I saw at least thirty gingham options, in almost every color and cut imaginable.

So many thanks to our sponsors. We continue to appreciate their support.

Our Beloved Sponsors

We’re very fortunate to have companies support our independent blog, so twice a month, we like to give them a special thank you. Our sponsors this month are Ledbury, The Hanger Project, and Compass Rose Design, all three of which have some very cool things going on this month.

Ledbury, as many readers know, specializes in men’s dress shirts, but they also carry a full line of sport coats and accessories. In celebration of their Nashville pop-up shop next week, Ledbury will debut their first ever, city-based Short Run collection: five limited-edition shirts inspired by the Music City. The Nashville Short Run Collection will feature a chambray and several cotton linens. These lighter spring fabrics and more casual styles reflect Nashville’s polished, yet laid-back, style. Readers can check out the collection at Ledbury’s site tomorrow, or go see it in person at their pop-up shop on February 22-23, which will be hosted at Peter Nappi studio. Peter Nappi’s leather shoes and bags will also be on show.

Our second sponsor, The Hanger Project, started in high-quality clothing hangers. Their hangers are designed to closely reflect a person’s natural shoulders and posture, so that the shape and structure of a garment can be best preserved. They also come in four widths, thus giving you the best fit possible. Since introducing their hangers, they’ve branched out into almost every kind of clothing care product and men’s accessory you can think of: garment brushes, closet organization products, shoe care products (including a full line of Saphir shoe polish), ties, Maglia Francesco umbrellas, and collar stays, just to name a few. They even have a full shoe care guide on their site, where you can learn everything you need to know about proper shoe care. You can also follow The Hanger Project’s proprietor, Kirby, every Sunday as he demonstrates good shoe care techniques at their StyleForum thread.

Finally, our last sponsor, Compass Rose Design, makes men and women’s accessories out of vintage items. This month, they’re running a 15% off promotion with the checkout code VINTAGESTYLE. They’re also doing a drawing for a free tie clip. To enter, just email them and say whether you prefer mixed or solid metals for your accessories. Entries are due this Wednesday, February 20^th, and the winner can pick any tie clip on Compass Rose Design’s site.

So thanks to all three companies for supporting us. We genuinely appreciate it.

We write our site out of a love for classic men’s style, but it’s nice when companies come and support what we do. So, we’d like to take the time to thank our three sponsors this month.

The first is The Hanger Project, who is a new sponsor for us. They sell luxury-end hangers that are designed to fit suits and sport coats better. These hangers imitate a man’s natural build by having wider and more curved shoulders, and they come in a wide variety of sizes, so they actually fit the garments they’re intended for. The Hanger Project has taken this ”different fits for different men” approach and applied it other items. Their Palatino Socks, for example, come in seven different sizes. In addition, they sell Saphir shoe care products (including Saphir’s Gold Medal line), garment brushes, professional irons, and just about any other accessory or garment care product you can think of.

Our second sponsor is Ledbury, who started off making men’s dress shirts but now make a full line of men’s clothing. Their shirts come in two lines - a “core” collection that stays with them throughout each season, and then a limited edition run of shirts called their “short runs.” These short runs allow Ledbury to get more creative with fabrics, collars, and styles, but they still feature the company’s signature robust collar (which won’t collapse underneath your sport coat) and lower placed second button (which will allow you to wear their shirts casually without having to unbutton them too low). This week, they introduced four short run designs, including the soft grey herringbone and navy/ salmon check you see above. Both can be worn year-round in casual settings.

Finally, our last sponsor is Compass Rose Design, who specializes in making men’s and women’s accessories out of vintage items. After a bit of antiquing last month, and making a new contact at the Texas Nail Collectors Association (yes, that exists), they’ve been able to restock their railroad date nail cufflinks. As a special Valentine’s Day promotion, they’re offering our readers a 20% off discount with the checkout code WELLDRESSED. The promotion ends February 14^th.

So, many thanks to all three companies for supporting us this month. We genuinely appreciate it.

Twice a month, we like to thank the folks who make our blog content possible. Our thanks this mid-month go to Ledbury and Cottonwork.

Ledbury started off in men’s dress shirts, but have recently expanded into a fuller line that includes sport coats and men’s accessories. Their shirts include year-round basics such as the blue oxford-cloth button-down you see above, as well as seasonal specialties, such as summery ginghams in a wide variety of colors. Their collars are designed to be robust enough to not collapse underneath your sport coat, and the second button is placed a bit lower, so you can wear their shirts casually without having to button them too low. Ledbury’s co-founders also recently appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to discuss how they’ve developed their small business.

Our other sponsor Cottonwork also sells shirts, but of the custom variety. You can either submit your measurements online or send them your best fitting shirt to have copied. After that, you just select the fabrics and stylistic details you want – spread collar, button-down, barrel cuff, French cuffs, placket, no placket, etc. They have a starter kit you can order for free, and it’ll include a coupon code for your first order, measuring tape, and some sample fabrics. Shown above are just some of the newest fabrics they’ve posted on their website.

So thanks, Ledbury and Cottonwork, for your support this month! We genuinely appreciate it.

We’re quite fortunate to have three companies sponsor our blog this month. The first is Ledbury, who’s been supporting us for a while now. As many readers know, Ledbury specializes in making men’s button-up shirts, but recently made the foray into a fuller line of clothing. The latest addition to their “Tailored Collection” is the Sutton sport coat, which is a two-button, half-lined, soft-shouldered jacket made with two patch pockets and dual vents. These jackets were made in Italy, using Italian fabrics, and come in two colors – dark navy and mid-grey. Ledbury is also welcoming in the new year with an end-of-the season sale on some of their shirts.

Our second sponsor, Cottonwork, also sells shirts, but of the custom variety. They offer two ways you put in a custom order. The first is to request a free starter kit on their website, which includes a tape measurer, coupon for your first order, and some sample fabrics. You will then need to have a friend measure you before you submit your measurements online and select whatever fabrics and style details you want. Their web interface allows you to see what your shirt will look like as you “build” it in real-time. The other way is to send them your best fitting shirt and have them copy the fit for you. If needed, you can also ask for small adjustments, such as having the body of your shirt kept the same, but the sleeves lengthened half an inch.

Finally, our third sponsor is Compass Rose Design. They design and handcraft men’s (and women’s!) accessories out of genuine vintage and antique items. That means turning things such as vintage button uniforms, railroad date nails, and antique trolley tokens into tie clips and cufflinks. Everything is handmade by the company’s owners and operators out of their studio in San Francisco.

So, we’d like to take a moment to thank all three of our sponsors for supporting our blog this month. We genuinely appreciate it.
