I think Steve McQueen is the only man who could ever look edgy wearing a beige Harrington.

Things are already warming up here in Los Angeles - I’ve had to move from wool to cotton flannel up top.  Too-hot-for-sleeves weather is just around the corner.  For me, that’s white tee weather.  It was the same, as you can see, for Steve McQueen.  I used to buy my white tees at Costco - the Kirkland brand are durable and cheap.  They’re also a bit heavy for summer in LA and a bit square for my body shape, so I switched to Alternative Apparel.  More expensive, but soft as a baby’s rear, and with a great cut.  Maybe we’ll do a group buy in the early spring.

Check out some more white tee inspiration at Sartorially Inclined.

The G9 Baracuta coat is a classic of mid-century men’s style, and some of its more unusual variants are currently half off in the company store.  Recommended: the red-white-blue microcheck above and this cool monochromatic plaid.
