Oxford Cloth shirts in a Pink University Stripe with a Button Down Collar. Let's break that down.
Black and Blue: Mid-Light Denim with Black Slip-Ons
A love letter to Shuhei Nishiguchi.
Made to Measure and Bespoke Tailoring in New York City
Note that this is mostly just a directory listing. There's a lot of guidance out there about how to pick a tailoring house. All I'll note is to try not to get lost in quality—f you're going to splurge on a bespoke tailor, you have to appreciate the house style.
Women in Tailoring
No real take here, just pure inspo. Have fun.
Chocolate Eclair: Dark Brown Linen in Tailoring
It's time for another summer treat. Crunchy linen in a rich, chocolatey shade of brown will sweeten up your day. Time for a sugar rush.
Jetted Pockets in Casual Tailoring
I'm over flap pockets. Patch pockets have their place, but jetted pockets are sleek and cool, and they're happening. That's a good thing.

Duplicada Purpura
I'll explore multiple shades of purple. I'll explore several non-neutral color combos: purple and yellow complementary, secondary triadic, purple tonal. I'll explore it in several slots: accessory, shirt, knit, suit. I'll explore it in wool and corduroy.

Creamsicle
I've never been a citrus lover. Orange—both the flavor and color—never appealed to me as a child. But they grew on me over time. I can really enjoy a nice cold glass of orange juice or a deep orange sweater. In both cases, a little vanilla can go a long way.
Why I Love Silk Scarves
You can argue that there's a certain femininity to silk scarves, and there certainly can be. Whether you appreciate that or not, I think it's easy to argue that they're *super fucking cool*. So I'm making the case.
