I am not sure exactly when Natalino came onto the scene, but I was intrigued from the very start. They make great, Italian-inspired menswear at quite affordable prices (both in general, and certainly for what you are getting). Their product offerings spans sweaters, trousers, and shirts, to full suits and sportcoats. I, of course, had to give them a try for myself…
Read moreThe Nice Laundry No-Show Sock
I am not sure why we talk about socks so much on this blog. Is it too much? Impossible. Truly, the quest for the perfect no-show sock, at least, is never-ending. I cannot claim to have found it, but I have found an excellent one, from Nice Laundry…
Read moreTPL Picks: Abercrombie Linen Blend Pants
I can’t recall exactly when or why it started, but I have been on the hunt for a pair of jogger-style, cream/off-white linen pants for a while now. To my mind, they make a truly perfect summer trouser, easily paired with a tee, polo, knitwear, or perhaps even more dressy options up top. If the pants had a bit of stretch woven in, that was a bonus…
Read moreTPL Picks: Diego's Espadrilles
The espadrilles is, perhaps, the quintessential summer shoe. It’s sleek, simple, and stylish. But it is also quite comfortable, breathable, and super easy to wear. It is just as fitting with a swimsuit and a tee as it is with the right suit — and of course everything in between…
Read moreCheck Out: Sam Hober Ties
It’s no secret I am pretty picky when it comes to my clothing. The way this manifests itself in the world of neckwear is that I really only like ties that are 7.5cm/3.00” wide at their widest point. More than that I find too wide (though sometimes I will allow up to 8cm/3.25”), and any slimmer and it starts to look like an anemic “skinny tie,” which I don’t like at all…
Read moreReview: True Vintage Revival
It’s become pretty well-known at this point that Japan is producing some of the world’s best eyewear these days. We previously looked at a brand called Tart Optical, and we’re now continuing the “Arnel-style glasses” series with a look at TVR, or “True Vintage Revival.”…
Read moreCheck Out: Quaker Marine Supply
I can’t remember exactly where I first heard of the brand Quaker Marine Supply, but that only serves to prove my point that they are underrated. Seems like not many people know about them, but they are a phenomenal brand making some really great pieces…
Read moreThe Perfect Lounging Shorts
No, it’s not at all warm enough yet to wear shorts, but such weather is rapidly arriving. And there is no time like the present to start getting prepared! First, a brief step back for a moment.
Read moreAn Alternative To Bombas
Ready for a super niche post? If you, like me, enjoy finding “the best” of something, then you, like me, have likely been wearing Bombas socks for years now. They are, as they say, a hug for your feet. You might not have thought that a mere sock could be meaningfully better than another mere sock, yet, I give you Bombas. Once you wear a pair, it’s hard to wear anything else…
Read moreUniqlo AIRISM Is Still The Best Undershirt
You ever look at someone wearing a super textured, heavy, lambswool sweater and think to yourself: How the heck are they comfortable in that scratchy, itchy, rough mess of a thing? I mean, such sweaters might look fantastic, but it takes a certain person to find them comfortable enough to wear…
