Topman is not exactly known for their superb quality or high-end lines of clothing. They’re not super respected, per se, as far as those things are concerned. Still, they seem to occupy an interesting space somewhere above H&M or Zara — though not by much. Their clothes come from the UK, and so their styling leans a bit more in that direction…
Read moreReview: The New Slim Fit “Sail Rigger” Oxford Cloth Button Down Shirt By Lands’ End
As a solid option for quality menswear, Lands’ End is likely super underrated. They have, for many many years, produced quality garments at affordable prices. The issue with them has always been twofold: their style taste has been mediocre at best, and their fits have been terrible. But for quite some time now, they have been trying to fix this up…
Read moreUniqlo Button-Down Shirt Haul & Review — Summer 2018
Uniqlo is a much loved source for guys’ basics, especially oxford cloth buttons downs, and similar styled shirts. The quality is very solid, and the value at Uniqlo prices are especially spectacular. Which is, of course, why so many guys love them. However, they seem to have issues with fit…
Read moreReview: The New Combatant Gentleman Suit (From Amazon)
By this point, most of you have likely heard about Combatant Gentlemen before, and also don’t have very positive things to say about them. For those of you that don’t know, this is just about everything you need to. So, what’s new with them? Well, like we spoke about last week, now they’re being sold and fulfilled through Amazon, and available on Amazon Prime with free 2-day shipping as well. And, presumably, they seem to have slightly new and updated products as well, boasting new materials, quality, and so on…
Read moreDear Banana Republic, This Is Getting A Little Ridiculous
Those who know me know that I am a big Banana Republic fan. It used to be looking through my closet would basically be the same thing as looking through a Banana Republic store. Over the years, though, this has slowly changed. As more time goes by, I — and I think many, many others as well — have become increasingly less interested in the brand…
Read moreMinistry Of Supply Also Makes A Raincoat! Here Is Our Detailed Review
Ministry of Supply is a company that’s famous for bringing some of the best tech to clothing out there. Their pants are outrageously comfortable and stretchy, and their shirts bring that same high level of tech to the table. We’ve had mixed feelings about Ministry of Supply in the past, loving some products, while finding others to be just mediocre and overpriced…
Read moreIn Person: The J Crew 484 vs. 770 Chinos
Many guys really love the chinos that J Crew makes, and with their recent price cuts, they are more enticing than ever. This is not to mention the fact that J Crew recently introduced a new fit for their chinos called the 770. But first, some much needed background…
Read moreJ Crew's New Short Sleeved Stretch OCBD Reviewed
A short sleeve button down shirt is a great option for the warmer weather. It’s a bit more put-together than a polo, without the full-on stuffiness of a regular, long sleeved button down. Plus, if you get it in either bold prints, or very subdued solids like white or pink, it’s a great, casual option that can look great with a pair of shorts, just as quickly as it could under a blazer…
Read moreA Review of T.M. Lewin’s Outerwear — Quilted Jacket & Raincoat
It is very important to have a good collection of jackets and coats. Depending on the weather, you might need one of a few different kinds of outerwear, and making sure you are ready whatever the weather might throw at you is key. So, getting a good jacket is important. There aren’t as many options out there when it comes to outerwear as when it comes to something like, say, a dress shirt, though…
Read moreReview: Mack Weldon’s New Slim Fit Vesper Polo
It’s no secret that we think a polo is a great summer option. It’s the perfect top for the warmer months. It is neither too dressy, nor too casual. It can look just as at home paired with shorts and sneakers as it can under a blazer or even a suit. Still, not all polos are created equal. Some have different fits, styles — like pockets, thicker or spread collars, and so on — and, perhaps most importantly, different fabrics…
