Harris Tweed is Retro Awesome

Posted Jan 28th 2009 at 1:00PM by Michael Cohen

Filed under: Vintage and Retro, Men, Product Reviews


Harris Tweed is a traditional fabric that's often employed to represent old world style like countryside hunting and professorial attitude. It's a favored fabric of designers who want to represent traditonal as well as those that want to rebel against tradition (see Alexander McQueen FW '09 men's wear collection, for example).

Banana Repulic sale

Posted Feb 19th 2008 at 3:30PM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Stores We Love, Men, Steals and Deals

Right now would be a good time to scoop up all the junk that you've had your eye on at Banana Republic for the last couple of months. They're running a limited-time sale, and their stuff is actually marked down significantly. It's that magic time of year that cheapskates like me live for -- where you can walk into stores like BR and buy a t-shirt for under $10.

This pair of black, straight-leg jeans is only $19.99, marked down from $98. That's about 80% off -- not too shaby. Plus, black jeans look good dressed up and they generally make you more attractive.

Banana Republic online has got deals on hand-knit sweaters, chinos, button downs, and even suit blazers. They've even got leftover heart boxers from last week.

Design your jacket, the DressMonkey will make it

dressmonkey custom blazers and jackets
A request has been made of me to be an advisor on a shopping trip for a man's blazer.

Though I like to consider myself a semi-expert in many things, I still have to do a little prep work because 1) it's been a little while since I've shopped for menswear and 2) (see photo above, lower left) when did cotton candy pink become a hot color for men's jackets?!?!

Apparently, pink is hot when someone custom-designs his own jacket over at DressMonkey. You select fabrics like tweed or velvet, colors, and customize everything from the number and type of buttons to whether you want a cell phone pocket. You send in your measurements along with your customizations and they make your jacket just for you. DressMonkey, of course, provides some suggested combinations, but ultimately, it's all up to you and your personal style, baby.

Even if that's a pink velvet blazer with three gold buttons.

Get ready for winter with Gap's Moleskin Blazer

Posted Sep 27th 2007 at 5:48PM by Jonathon Morgan

Gap Moleskin BlazerYou may have written off the Gap, and I wouldn't blame you. For a while there they were somewhere in between a less-fashionable version of JCrew and a way too expensive (not to mention less trendy) version of Target. Bleh -- what's the point?

But the store has been on the comeback trail recently, and their winter line is particularly impressive. Check out this Moleskin Blazer, for instance. You can dress it up or down, depending on where you're heading -- even turn the collar up when you need to look especially cool. Plus, the dark, muted colors are right in sync with where we're heading this season, and you can layer underneath it with sweaters, or even hooded sweatshirts, when the weather starts to get a little colder.

Best of all, it's only $88 -- which, for a jacket this nice, is a steal. I never thought I'd say this, but it's possible that Gap is back.

Styles that Stick: Black blazers

Posted Jul 26th 2007 at 12:22PM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Whatever Style

There are very few articles of clothing that can seamlessly fit both an art gallery opening and a quick, early morning trip to Starbucks. A black blazer is one of those items. Every girl needs at least one well-fitted blazer in her closet because such a classic item can easily be dressed up or dress down, simply by manipulating the other articles of clothing. For example... A black blazer with dark wash denim and some sweet pointed shoes? Perfect for an evening out. The very same blazer, joined with a tank top and broken-in vintage jeans serves as something beautifully suitable for a stroll through the city.

Here are some things to note: Such a structured jacket is typically masculine (in fact, the pictured jacket from Urban Outfitters is the Lux Boyfriend Blazer), but this is where I, once again, stress the fit. Unless you are going for that "little boy who likes to wear daddy's suits" look, ladies, make sure the blazer does not fit like a bag over your body. The only thing worse than wearing a shapeless mass on your body is wearing a mass that has shapes in all the wrong places. If the cut shoulders fit too far apart, you risk looking like a linebacker. If the sleeves are too short, you risk looking like Pee-Wee Herman. Fit is everything, especially with blazers.

But, when worn properly, the basic black blazer is a staple to any closet and is not likely to go out of style. Well, that is until arms become obsolete.
