Fit for Fall

Posted by 1 on

Some lucky fellows have been genetically gifted with the lean gene.  Some of us have to work harder to stay trim. As more American males are logging hours to stay fit, so are they looking for a leaner, meaner wardrobe to flatter their physic. There is a trending "slim fit" phenom in men's fashion.  If you're not ready to dive into the uber-trim fit look quite yet, consider the option of a "tailored" fit.  Designed for an athletic build, tailored cuts fit closer to the body than a traditional shirt (ours is 2 inches less across the chest and 1...

Trending Now: The New Colors of Fall

Posted by 1 on

The brilliant folks over at Pantone always have their pulse firmly on color trends, like naming Radiant Orchid the Color of the Year for 2014. So, when we started pinning our fashion boards for men's fashion this fall, we, of course, turned to Pantone to see what they recommended. While autumn typically suggests muted and rich colors (navy, eggplant, evergreen and rust) for the cooler seasons, this season is lighter and brighter. Think Bright Cobalt and Royal Blue, Aurora Red and Sangria. Even the expected slate grey and dark brown are lightened up with brighter versions of Aluminum and Cognac. To be...

So, we started to make a list of the things we love about this holiday and it turns out what makes us happiest...

  Summer Saturday mornings. Those three words are meant to be together. They roll off the tongue lazily like warm taffy in the sun. Saturday mornings are the best because they're languid. On Saturday mornings, we grab the dog and head out to the city park for a walk, stopping along the way for an iced espresso. There's the farmer's market for bright, still dewy produce, samplings of small batch blue cheese or Haddock fresh off the boat. Saturday mornings are top down trips to the harbor, bicycle rides through the park and simple picnics of a baguette, June cherries,...

Who's Your Daddy?

Posted by 1 on

What defines a dad? He fixes things like flat tires and broken hearts. When we were little, he taught us to shake hands like we meant it, to look people in the eye when we spoke, and to always follow through on promises.  With or without biological ties, he showed us that caring for someone isn't exclusively a feminine trait. So, whether you're called pop, dad, daddy, father, grandpa or uncle, or even by your given first name, this message is for you.  This Father's Day, we may be getting you a grill or a classically cut Thomas Dean shirt...
