Guys can certainly be quite particular about their denim. Personally, this is not a world I have ever gone too deep into (though I can’t say I don’t see the appeal…), but I do appreciate a solidly made, well-fitting pair of jeans as much as the next guy.
Read moreAmazon Goodthreads Haul + Review
Amazon has been making bigger and bigger moves into the fashion space. While they have been faced with some difficulties, they don’t seem to be slowing down. And a big part of this is their creation of their own clothing labels. Especially in the men’s sector. One of these Amazon-made labels is Goodthreads. They are inexpensive men’s staples and basics. So, of course, we took a look to see if they are worth your hard-earned money…
Read moreBanana Republic Pants Haul & Roundup Review
If you read this site, you know that we have been pretty down on Banana Republic (and many other similar companies!) for their utter lack of consistency in fit across their product line. This is why we’ve been trying to do more of these roundup/haul style posts in which we order a bunch of items from one brand, and compare them to each other…
Read moreJomers New Tailored-Fit Italian Travel Jeans In Review
Jomers is one of those companies that has just been killing it lately. We’ve taken a look at them before, though this time we had much, much better results. So, what do I mean by “killing it”? Well, I would put it this way: Think about Bonobos. They have great clothing, with tons of fit options, but their stuff is super, prohibitively, expensive. In other words, it’s 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 moreIn Review: The Ministry of Supply Kinetic Pant — The Stretchiest, Most Comfortable Dress Pants Ever Made?
We’ve been on a stretchy pants kick around here these past few weeks, no doubt. To cap it all off (for now), is the king (many would say) of all these pants, the Ministry of Supply Kinetic Pant ($145). We’ve reviewed stuff from Ministry of Supply before, and their company image is still the same…
Read moreReview: Banana Republic's Rapid Movement Stretch Chino
As you are no doubt aware, “tech-wear” has slowly become more and more popular in the menswear space. Companies are incorporating stretch, moisture wicking, and water resistance into more and more garments by the day. Usually, and when done well, this is a welcome addition…
Read moreWorth It?: Are The UNIS Gio Chinos Worth Your $200?
Welcome to a new series here on The Peak Lapel where we review some high end items — articles of clothing or accessories that cost quite a bit more than your average equivalent from your typical big box retailers like J Crew or Banana Republic — and then as the simple question: Is it worth the extra money? Because, when it comes to style and clothing, value is really the key question...
Read moreZara Haul Try-On & Review
I have been a Zara hater for a very long time. My general qualm with Zara has always been that their prices are completely unjustifiable. For the price you spend at Zara, I always argued that you could do just as well at a better price between Uniqlo (for basics), H&M, J. Crew Factory, Banana, GAP and (now) Primark...
