Well Spent. - Obtainable, honestly crafted goods

I’m in love with this photo by Tommy Ton of Jenny Walton in Milan. I’m not sure if it’s possible to sophisticate workwear, but Jenny appears to have done just that. As I often feel, this illustration doesn’t do the photo or the subject justice.

I couldn’t be more proud of my friend Antonion Ciongoli. His new collection for Eidos Napoli, titled “The Correspondent,” is stunning, as is the collection’s lookbook. Antonio has created a range that is elegant yet comfortable, classic yet individual, tailored yet unstuffy. This photo and the pieces in it are a great example of how…

Ain’t nothing cooler than a girl in a Schott leather jacket. Just look at this photo of the amazing Sarah Cote-Bennett (good friend, and wife of the founder of this site). Such a stunnah.

I haven’t illustrated street style in a long time. When I saw this season’s batch of Tommy Ton photos from the men’s shows, I had the itch to illustrate a few. And of course I had to draw my friend Jeremy Kirkland. I haven’t seen Jeremy in years, but I remember his natural ease and…

I recently discovered the London-based men’s magazine Umbrella, and through them I was introduced to the British brand Harry Stedman. Their Spring/Summer 2015 lookbook features a great mix of classics, with a healthy dose of devil may care.

Private White V.C. is one of my favorite brands (I go to sleep every night praying they’ll make their Goodwood Worksuit for women). And their Creative Director, Nick Ashley, is one incredibly cool dude who, as it turns out, is also a serious dirt biker.

It’s fitting that Mr. Porter would include a still of Robert Redford in Little Fauss and Big Halsy in their roundup of iconic denim. Although not my favorite movie of all time, I love it for Robert Redford, Lauren Hutton, and the incredible style.

My buddy Jeff, aka Cold Splinters, is always an inspiration – in life and in style. Here he is strumming away after a long hike in the Mojave desert. Photo by Colin McCarthy.

I wrote a post about the history of the striped shirt for Kaufmann Mercantile this month, and if I wasn’t into stripes before, I’m officially addicted now. This is one of the images that accompanied the post, and it features Lisa Przystup of James’s Daughter Flowers wearing a striped shirt from Armor Lux.

A Continuous Lean published a great interview with Club Monaco VP of Men’s Design Aaron Levine. Not only is he insanely good at what he does, he’s also a great guy (and has incredible style).

This month, I was inspired by the 2014 Newport Folk Festival. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be there in person, which bummed me out, but I was able to attend vicariously through the excellent coverage of the event on the festival’s Tumblr. Below are a few of my favorite photos from the weekend.

The men of Man 1924 are always classic and consistent – I’ve never seen a photo of them where they don’t look perfectly put together. This photo by Tommy Ton for GQ is proof of that.
