Here at Thomas Dean design, we are fascinated by style. We live and breathe it. We dive into archives and we love meeting clothiers who share the same passion for design, cut and style, like Julie Lansky, granddaughter of Bernard Lansky, Clothier to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Look for that rarely worn piece that injects a bit of your unique...

This violet-toned shade of of...

There is something about a man in a vest. It reminds me of Cary Grant, crisp autumn walks in Central Park with hot apple cider in hand and classic movies. A man who wears a vest knows fashion. He knows that throwing on a vest with a pair of dark jeans and a blazer works for both work and date night. It gives him that edge but it doesn't look like he's trying too hard. Now is the perfect time to be that classic guy. Today (December 10th), buy a blazer at ThomasDeanco.com and get a free vest. Enter code...
