You know those guys. The types who wear a wispy outer layer like a hoodie, a fleece, or a (gulp) gilet when it’s 40º, 30º, or 20º or even lower. They look like idiots. And don’t get me started on the morons who wear shorts as if to say “I’m a spring break party monster, bro. I don’t need outerwear. Aren’t I hilarious?” No, dude, you look like an asshole.
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 jumped back onto the saddle this week after a brief but fantastic trip to Palm Beach, Florida last weekend. I have a client down there who showed me the ropes in their little universe both in Palm Beach and in the charming town of Lake Worth.
A nice last-chance blowout on some stunning spring/summer items from one of the best resources for style-conscious men on a budget.

I just decided that I might as well add another suit to my collection if it’s reasonably priced.
In this episode, I talk about my first experience with Suitsupply, my first visit to the sensational new Whitney Museum in the Meatpacking District in NYC and a fabulous new Hanx Writer typing app from Tom Hanks. (Yes, that Tom…
Tim Gunn is a huge advocate for shopping on a budget, and I love him for that. This is a guy who is not only a major television personality, but a fashion and style expert, a best-selling author and an exquisitely tailored influencer who always delivers.
