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.
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.

Quarantine Sales—Part Two
I've been holding back the urge to do this again. But this Ring Jacket sale needs to be acknowledged. So here we are.

Oh, the things we do to look good.
Meermin Mallorca Horsebit Loafer Review

A Visit to Leffot in New York City
Leffot was just across the street, and yesterday was a beautiful day, so I popped right over for a quick look at their selection.
A Glossary of Dress Shoe Styles—Names, Photos, and Descriptions
I started writing this guide in an attempt to catch everything worth catching. I ended up running into more styles than I could really hope to capture... But hopefully, this is good enough.
