Summer suits, Rocketman, and Martha Stewart

Posted on June 1, 2019May 31, 2019 By Drew

Man, summer is almost in full swing around here. The kids only have two weeks left of school. We’re in the 80s almost every day now. Traffic has been cut in half. One of the advantages (and disadvantages of living so close to the shore) is that after Memorial Day half the population moves to their beach house. That’s an exaggeration, and I know there’s still a few weeks left until the official beginning of summer, but it feels different around here.

I’m definitely in summer mode in the mornings at least. All I want to do is sit on the deck in my pajamas while I drink coffee and read the paper, but that’s not quite reality just yet. We need to get some new deck furniture and we need school to end. Give me some slower mornings, and I’m a happy man.

What I really need to work on though is getting up early to hit the gym. I’ve been struggling with getting in for months, and it’s killing me. On the one hand, I don’t want to get up at 4:30 am. On the other hand, I want my clothes to fit. What I probably need to do is start sharing more about getting up early on my Instagram stories. A little accountability goes a long way. But enough rambling. Here’s a few things to keep you busy while you sit on your deck in your pajamas drinking coffee.

I really need a linen suit to style like Brian does!

I think I’ll be checking out The Intruder after reading Bilge’s review.

Be sure to check out Brooks Brothers’ summer suit event this weekend.

Sarah’s  interview interview with Martha Stewart is everything!

Also, buy her new book. It’s awesome!

I identify so much with this post on ugly clothes.

West Coast shaving is blowing out a bunch of old inventory at 25% off to make room for new products.

I totally agree with David, business casual doesn’t have to mean khakis and a polo.

Kingsman took on a different movie, “Rocketman”, and the collection is fantastic!

Want to really kill the summer wedding look? The Rake has you covered.

Some Thoughts on Value Shopping

Posted on August 3, 2019August 3, 2019

I’ve been thinking a lot about realistic, attainable menswear lately. Like, what does real life style look like. I think for most guys it doesn’t include $4000 custom suits, bespoke shoes, and Audemars Piguet watches. Those things are fun to write about, fun to read about, and perfect for putting…

Hey! Where have you been?

Posted on March 31, 2018March 30, 2018

   Happy Easter! Happy Passover! Happy whatever you’re celebrating this weekend! Weekend reading is back! I’ve been spending so much time marketing the blog (Instagram, Twitter, etc.) that I’ve lost track of actually writing the blog. Some days I’ll get home from the gym, get the kids off to school,…
