We’re thankful as an independent menswear site to have sponsors supporting our work. So, twice a month, we like to give them a special shoutout.
Our friends over at The Hanger Project are running a special promotion this Labor Day weekend. From September 1st until the 3rd, you can get free shipping on any order, no matter the amount. This could be a good time restock on some of their shoe care products, such as their Saphir creams and waxes, suede waterproofing sprays, or wide assortment of specialized brushes. If you’re unsure of what you may need, The Hanger Project also has a ton of shoe care guides on their site.
Proper Cloth just put up their new Satoyama Flannels lookbook. These Japanese lightweight flannels have been some of Proper Cloth’s best selling shirtings for years, and they’ve been designed to be an ideal weight for early fall. Proper Cloth developed the collection as a custom project with a small Japanese mill using a special top-dyed melange organic cotton that’s been lightly brushed to give the shirts a flannel look and feel. For those looking for suits and sport coats, they’ve also just added a bunch of new tailored clothing to their made-to-order section online and New York City showroom. They’ll have a bunch of new jacket styles launching in the coming weeks, too.
Paul over at Chipp Neckwear tells us that Harrison’s recently sold him some lengths of their “Millionaire’s Cashmere” collection. Each of the five patterns yielded four or five ties, and he’s offering them to our readers first. If another maker purchased this quality of cashmere (Mongolian cashmere spun and woven in Scotland), Paul estimates they would cost two of three times his $75 price. Readers can order by calling Paul at (212) 687-0850. Or by going onto this site and ordering an Ancient Madder tie, but then noting which cashmere tie you’d like instead. Pictured above, in order, is the brown plaid, brown houndstooth, grey windowpane, brown herringbone with an overcheck, and textured blue.
Dapper Classics is also running some Labor Day sales. For today only, you can take an additional 40% off all sale items with the checkout code SUN40. Sale items include select socks and neckties. And then, from Saturday until Monday, you can knock 20% off all orders over $100 with the code WRK20. The promotion applies to Dapper Classic’s popular tailored trousers, which are made by Hertling in New York City and come in both classic and slim fits.
Luxire is popular on StyleForum for being an affordable, online custom tailor that can essentially make anything you want — trousers with unusual waistband closures, casual dress shirts, and outerwear of nearly any kind (including the belted safari pictured above). Their operation is based in India, which is how they’re able to keep costs down, but they also use high-end materials sourced from around the world (often fabrics milled in Europe). The combination of affordable custom tailoring and quality materials has attracted many online style enthusiasts, who send Luxire photos of things they’d like to have made, which then gets produced to their measurements. You can see some of their recent commissions on their Instagram page.
Finally, our thanks to Huckberry. They have a bunch of stuff on sale for Labor Day weekend, including Faherty beachwear (30% off), Flint and Tinder performance shorts (50% off), Proof Highline shorts (25% off), and tons of printed short-sleeved shirts (70% off) to help you get through what remains of this warm weather season. The blue palm Penfield shirt pictured above is just $25.
