Dealing with Bad Weather

Every year starts off with a few months of bad weather. First there is snow, then the snow turns to slush, and finally the slush gives way to showers. Depending on where you live, these conditions can put a real beating on your clothes, so it’s good to know how to best take care of them.

Salt Stains on Shoes

The best care is preventative. There are a number of treatments that can give your shoes a superficial layer of protection. Use a thin layer of wax polish on calf leather dress shoes and mink oil ...

Three Post-Christmas Sales Brooks Brothers’…







Three Post-Christmas Sales

Brooks Brothers’ after-Christmas sale has started, and if you shop today, you get an additional 20% off. That puts the jacket you see above at $191. I bought it last year for about the same price and it’s a great piece. It fits slim and the corduroy mockneck collar is a nice, unique detail (the first reviewer’s post says everything well). The product shot isn’t that compelling, but if you can find it at your local Brooks Brothers store, I encourage you to try it on. 

Additionally, CLAD Men has discounted some items by 60%. Most ...

Asos Quilted Jacket

If you want to enjoy as much as possible your last drinks on coffee terrace, the Asos quilted jacket is a good option to consider. Its classic collar with a cord lining would perfectly match any button-down Oxford shirt. Besides, the contrast check panel on the back inspired by a classical hunter coat is certainly the nicest distinctive element of this jacket. Last, I didn’t mention yet that the jacket is part of the Asos final call for sales. Then you can get now a comfortable discount for it.

Garbstore Parka

Guys, I seriously came across what could be called the best parka of the season! I comes from one of our favourite English brand, The Garbstore, known for mixing cutting edge and vintage designs. That is what pleases us so much on this Langdale parka. It is actually inspired from a 1960′s piece and modified with the Garbstore’s touch.

The jacket features a 100% coton waterproof fabric and a wool lining, four front pockets, and a concealed buttoning. A perfect contruction, and a perfect choice of colors with a black dominance contrasted by navy and “petrol” pockets and white drawstrings. Icing on the cake is their classic Ishigure wool lining with a very authentic looking striped pattern… Unfortunately, the price could slow down my dreams… until I have enough savings :>

Levi’s Workwear by Filson

Levi’s and Filson, two big names of American Workwear have just released their new collab under the name of their famous capsule collection: Levi’s workwear by Filson, proposing new versions of iconic pieces of each brand. The autumn-winter 2011 collection is composed of five items. The first is the classic Trucker jacket from Levi’s, finished in Oil Tin cloth, the famous and usual Filson oiled canvas, with a brown cord lined cuff.

The classic 505 Levi’s cut also comes in an Oil Tin cloth finish. And interesting alternative to classic chinos (and sturdier).

A great classic from Filson, the Original Hunting waistcoat is also part of the collection. It still has its many pockets, even in the back to have everything necessary (and unnecessary) within reach, and it is revisited in denim.

Here is another classic from Levi’s: the Sawtooth shirt, with again the Oil Tin cloth replacing the denim.

Lets talk about the flagship piece of this collection to me. On the contrary of the other pieces it is totally new. Issued from a cross between the Levi’s Trucker with its shape and the Field jacket from Filson with its ventral pockets and double fastenings (button + zip), the Hunter Trucker is offering a nice protection against elements. Mainly thanks to a Oil Shelter cloth finish, lighter than the Tin cloth, both waterproof and extremely resistant.

Levi’s and Filson have released a complete collection here, mixing blue-chip designs and high quality. Gold diggers from Klondike who where amongst the first clients of both brands would have gladly welcome it!
