I’ve been following Leffot’s blog forever and this weekend I finally swung by the store for the very first time. It didn’t take long for Leffot to become my new favorite shoe shop. This shoe, recently posted by Leffot, is the Benson monk and is one of the new designs in the Alfred Sargent Handgrade Collection. If you’re in NYC on April 21st, Leffot will be hosting Chay Copper, the Product Director of Alfred Sargent, to debut several new models to the line. I’ll see you there!

Fantastic video made by our friends at Lark. In addition to some repairs, my Barbour could definitely use a rewaxing! Picking up some Thornproof Dressing as soon as it warms up a bit.

During fashion week, I swung by the GANT by Michael Bastian F/W 2011 Presentation and was truly blown away. I’m so excited for Michael and the rest of my friends over at Gant for this collection to be in stores.

Lately I’ve seen a lot of hikers making their way around the menswear blogosphere. I wasn’t so sure about them at first because of their unique shape and relatively high price points, but I have to admit that they’ve grown on me—even if those Golden Goose Pivettas don’t come with a complimentary Sherpa. After Snowpocalypse No. 1 and 2 here in New York, I’m now convinced that these ought to be a winter essential, even if the longest trek you’ll make is just to the bodega down the block.
I first wrote this for The Daily Details. Check out their blog for more great posts!

Well done by Christopher, Douglas, et al. on another great collection from the Gant family! Key pieces in Gant Rugger’s Pre-Fall 2011 collection include a faded madras check check blazer, straight from the archives, the cord blazer, for that professorial look, threadbare in the right spots, and slipovers and v-necks in jacquard patterns. I especially [...]
This morning I received the fourth edition of Inventory and quickly discovered that with features on Makr Carry Goods, John Smedley, Yuki Matsuda, and WWM (Daiki Suzuki and Mark McNairy, of course), this is the best edition yet. The editorial content and photography are just brilliant. My only gripe is that there are only two [...]

The film features Ryan Pickard, Ellis Pickard, Louis Cadman and Sam Lawson, wearing Sunspel classics, boxing, training and discussing everything from tattoos to who [...]
