Years ago I found this Pringle at a thrift store for a few dollars.
Classic design. Brilliant quality.
What you want in a classic piece, scored for next to nothing.

Faconnable
Faconnable makes some sweet gear. I scored this sweatshirt on the cheap a while back.
Great details on this piece. Same color crest embroidered on the chest, understated and well done.
I love the red!

Harrington-esque, RL style…
I’ve been loving on the Harrington style jacket for a while now, but a proper, English made Barracuda one is VERY expensive, and aside from mail order, pretty hard to come by in the States. Ralph Lauren, on the other hand, is much easier to come by, and occasionally they do things well. This jacket [...]

OTS 2.0
A little while back, OneTrue Saxon put out some stellar zip-through hoodies, or variations there-on. This one is one of my favorites. It is an asymmetrical zip with a super high collar. When work zipped up, you get what is essentially a mask…like this:
This piece is heavier than your average hoodie. Nice.

Saxon…
This is a nice light jacket by OneTrue Saxon. It is vaguely Harrington-esque, but differs in some major ways. This piece is great for rainy days, and excellent for travel. There are 6 large pockets to hold all you can fit and more.
OTS has some quality in their lines, for sure.

A Bit of Lyle & Scott…
Lyle & Scott is hard to come by in the States…and even harder to come by for a decent price! I was very lucky to run across this piece, a cotton sweater, for a VERY reasonable price a while back. This Scottish label makes quality gear that has a fine attention to detail. Mostly known [...]

The Holidays were wonderful and it’s good to be back to something approximating a schedule. I, of course, don’t have one yet, and I’m sure I won’t have one for a few more weeks yet, but, you know…it’s nice all the same.
My lovely Misus was more than kind to me at the holidays and gave [...]

A Nice Bit of Woolrich…
The Oi Polloi of Manchester website gives the following brief history of Woolrich:
“The oldest outdoor clothing company in the world, Woolrich was started in 1830 when John Rich opened his first wool factory near Philadelphia.
Initially delivering woollen fabrics, socks and yarn to logging camps on the back of a mule cart, by the 1850s he was [...]

6876 … Kendal Trail Jacket
6876 is pretty amazing. Check them out here. I dig the aesthetic, the design, and the concept of the label. I was very excited to get the Kendal Tail Jacket recently.
This is a super light jacket that looks fantastic. The polymide material this thing is made from is comfortable, remarkably light-weight and controls temperature pretty [...]

AdiTennis Trainer…
I recently picked up a pair of adiTennis canvas trainers. Excellent. They are a very comfy, great looking shoe.
The toe cap is a nice touch. It gives a good bit of balance and protection, but isn’t over the top as can sometimes be the case with some of the newer Adidas basketball orientated shell-tops.
The laces are a [...]
