I recently wrote a piece about my last leather jacket, submitting that, when it comes to going totally leather-free, I draw the line at dress shoes, which are essentially the only new leather items I still buy. If a company like Alden or Crockett & Jones applied their level of craftsmanship to shoes and boots made with a vegan material that rivaled leather, I’d seriously consider it.
I'd never considered Suitsupply for anything but suits and jackets. Along with their other wares, they also have a really handsome collection of ties.
I don’t travel much. The main reason I don’t is that I hate being away from my dogs. But when I do travel, I’m a sucker for a good hotel.
The number of new leather goods I buy today is a fraction of what it used to be. Because animals.
Since Levi's abandoned what I liked about them, I needed a Plan B for jeans. I think I found a good one.
My favorite coffee is the coffee I brew at home. Sometimes I like to take it with me (with a little style, of course).
I tend to go a little darker this time of year, and this playlist is no exception. But there is some fun and texture here. I’ve really enjoyed curating this list, which spans a range of eras, genres and moods. As usual, it’s best enjoyed on shuffle. Have fun.
A little video demonstrating how I replace the protective taps under the heels of my shoes.
I’ve tried just about everything under the sun over the decades. Cremo just might be my favorite.
