WHARF Autumn Flannels

January 28, 2013

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: fall’s long over, so why are you posting these Autumn Flannels from WHARF? Well, I got news for you buddy, fall will be back next year, and the year after that (though, possibly not the year after that, due to global warming). These shirts, however, won’t be. 100% cotton, made in New England, and currently 30% off. Read More »

November 13, 2012

By Nick Grant

First, it was a dope shop. Then, it was a dope collection of shirts. Now, Rhode Island’s WHARF is getting into the chino game, and their first offering looks – you guessed it – dope. Dubbed the Palmer Pants, the US-made trousers come in three colors (two cotton twills, one wool tweed), and boast a slew of thoughtful details, including bar-tacked front slash pockets and frame-stitched back pockets, piped seams, an oxford cloth waist curtain and a modern, tailored fit.

WHARF “The Yard Shirt” Moleskin Shirt

February 2, 2012

If there’s one perk to owning your own clothing line (aside from the free clothes), it’s having the means to recreate old wardrobe favorites. Case in point: the Moleskin Yard Shirt from WHARF is modeled after a long-time go-to of shop founder Rob Babigian. Expertly crafted in New England from a heavy-weight 98% cotton / 2% lycra blend, the shirt is tough enough for yard work (hence the name), yet tailored enough for wear over a button-up and tie.

Seven Questions: WHARF

Opened in late 2010, Rhode Island’s WHARF has quickly established itself as one of the country’s better menswear shops.

May 3, 2011

Outside of a bathing suit, I can’t think of a much beachier piece of clothing than the Madras Overdye Shirts from Rhode Island’s WHARF. Crafted in the USA from barely-there-light 100% cotton madras, and then washed just to the point of beginning to show signs of break-in, the shirts are those kind of summer favorites you want to wear to tatters, and then keep on wearing, long after that.
