February 18, 2013

I’m trying to come up with a pun about not having to work too hard to afford these Harry Work Shirts from Unis, now that they’re on sale. But, it’s taking way too long, so I’ll skip it. Japanese cotton chambray. Made in the USA. All the bells and whistles you’d expect. And currently 25% off. Read More »

Inspiration is Where You Find It: Isamu Noguchi

January 16, 2013

By Jake Gallagher

Isamu Noguchi was the organic answer to a design movement otherwise defined by pronounced lines and technological advancements. One of mid-century modern’s key figures, Noguchi’s nature-inspired pieces offered a stark contrast to the clean, seemingly mechanized creations of his peers. He began his career as a sculptor in the 1920’s, working with wood, metals, stone and plaster to create beautiful shapes that balanced hard edges with curved forms. In 1947, Noguchi took on another role as a furniture designer for the illustrious Herman Miller company, producing a variety of items including what is now his most recognizable work, the Noguchi table. With so much on his plate, the artist spent most of his days in his studio. Read More »

But, for those that aren’t quite so fortunate, there’s the accessories section on the Unis site. Handpicked by Ms. Lee herself, the items boast both quality and looks, much like her semi-eponymous line. Read More »

Unis Leather Strapping Belts

October 30, 2012

One of the best menswear designers in America + one of the best leathersmiths in America + a big ol’ heap of used leather and aged solid brass hardware - a fourth of the original retail price = some killer effing belts.

Unis Harrison Shorts

May 10, 2012

I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is yes: Unis’ shorts are just as good as the their pants. Wait, what? That’s not what you were thinking? Well, either way, the Harrison Shorts are expertly crafted in Los Angeles out of 100% cotton rip-stop from Japan. Tough yet refined, like a book of poetry bound in brass knuckles (what?), the shorts’ details include patch pockets on the front, flap pockets on the back, and contrast lining on the inside.

Unis Tate Jackets

January 30, 2012

These should have sold out a long time ago. They fit beautifully (as Unis’ clothes often do). They’re excellently made (cut and sewn in NYC’s garment district from Italian cotton flannel). And, they’re only 200 bucks (down from almost $600). And yet, for some miraculous reason, there’s still a considerable number of them left. Read More »

N’East Illustrated, Vol. 1

January 27, 2012

If, for some strange reason, you’re not already familiar with N’East Style, do yourself the favor of getting acquainted toot sweet. Written by the ever-delightful Christine Mitchell, the site is a compendium of all things New England, as well as a platform for Mitchell’s fantastic (I’m talking tattoo-worthy) original artwork. Being a huge fan of both Mitchell’s talent and taste, I’ve asked her to begin sketching some of her favorite images from the menswear blogosphere for Well Spent. If we’re lucky, this’ll become a regular feature on the site – my fingers are very firmly crossed. Read More »
