A hearty thanks to our sponsors this month. Without their support, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do, so twice a month, we like to give them a special shoutout.
With the end of the year around the corner, and New Year’s Eve parties almost upon us, our friends at The Hanger Project have a video on how to dress for black tie events. Kirby, the founder of the company, leads viewers through the fundamentals of how a tuxedo should look, what accessories they need, and how to put things together. Granted, most of us probably don’t have fancy gentlemen’s clubs or award ceremonies to attend, but you can use New Year’s Eve as an excuse to make a night special. A black tie rig can be worn to a nice restaurant, an opera event, or just a night out on the town.
Proper Cloth is known for their made-to-measure dress shirts, but they also have a range of more casual fabrics. Included are some limited edition plaid flannels from the Italian mill Canclini – traditional plaids, shadow plaids, and slightly dressier designs for business casual settings. Proper Cloth offers free remakes on any first order, which allows you to hone-in on the perfect fit. They also just updated their gift guide, should you be looking to give something special this season.
Next, Chipp has some four-in-hand ties made from English ancient madder silks. The nice thing about madder neckwear is that they sit in the middle of the spectrum in terms of formality. They’re just as good with tweed and corduroy sport coats as they are with worsted suits. Their chalky hand makes them a distinctly cold-weather accessory – perfect for this time of year. Chipp’s ties are made in NYC using the same English silks as what you’ll find from top-tier producers, except theirs cost less than $70 a piece.
For readers who are looking for a new bag (or perhaps searching for that right gift), Dapper Classics just introduced their new line of leather satchels. These come in three colors of calfskin leather – a traditional and versatile dark brown, a more formal black, and a casual, bright tan. The bags have two main compartments and some internal pockets, so you can neatly store and organize everything you need. They’re made in Italy and come just under $400, making them more affordable than most in this category.
A lot of what you’ll find at Huckberry is the sort of Americana and outdoor gear aimed at active guys – camping equipment, waxed cotton jackets, tactical bags, rugged boots, and things for everyday carry. This season, however, they have cozier things that will fit into almost anyone’s lifestyle. Chup makes high-end socks in Japan and Huckberry is carrying their more playful Santa and Fair Isle designs; Onsen offers plush towels constructed from long-staple cottons; and Denmark’s Glerups has those cozy wool shoes you can use around the home (what Pete calls “sweaters for your feet”). Huckberry also has a gift guide organized by prices and lifestyles.
Finally, our thanks to Twillory. They’re holding a Cyber Week sale right now (their best prices ever).
