Beat the Heat with a Linen Shirt or Suit

Posted on July 25, 2017July 10, 2018 By Drew

I want to wear nothing but linen shirts and linen suits all the time! I don’t remember having a hotter summer than the one we’re having right now. Linen clothes are such a great way to beat the heat, but I think guys are afraid to try wearing the loose, breathable fabric. There’s an inherent fear of looking like an extra straight off the set of Miami Vice. I totally get this fear, but I’m here to tell you linen is so much more than Mai Tais and South Beach. When done right, one can wear linen from the weekend to the workday. So this summer, take a chance, and ditch the cotton shirts for a linen shirt or suit.

Amazing Beckett Simonon Giveaway

Posted on May 1, 2019May 14, 2019

By now it should probably be apparent that I’ve become a big fan of Beckett Simonon and their men’s shoes. I think they represent an incredible value in the ever-growing world of men’s footwear.
