According to Wikipedia, synonyms for corduroy include “corded velveteen,” “elephant cord” and “Manchester cloth.” No explanation as to why those names exist, but, what are you gonna do? Anyway, the Regular Leg Cords from Albam are made in the UK out of 100% cotton corduroy from Germany (I wonder what they call it there). Read More

It’s understandable if the models’ hangin’ tough poses in the shots above aren’t doing much to win you over. But, just try to ignore that and focus on these other, much less laughable things about the Shawl Collar One Button Sweaters from Aran Crafts. They’re made in Ireland from 100% Donegal-spun wool. They come in two beautifully tweedy colors. And they’re on sale for $99. Read More

The moderately and (very) immoderately priced goods that I’d rather spend it on this month.

I’d like to think that within the hallowed halls of television’s high temple, there’s a special place carved out for Law & Order. At any given time, on any given day, I can guarantee there’s at least one channel chiming in with that unforgettable “Dun Dun” and an hour long glimpse at city crime, peppered with just the right number of witty one liners. For me, what’s always kept me coming back to the show, year after year, are the characters, and no one more so than Jack McCoy. Read More

S.E.H Kelly is not just another capital H Heritage brand, although it’s understandable if you mistake them for one. Between their emphasis on classic design, exclusive use of natural materials and steadfast dedication to keeping their production local, all the requisite H-tage (I just coined that) elements are there. However, if you look a little closer, you’ll see that S.E.H isn’t simply mining the manly annals of work and military wear’s past in order to appeal to the chambray-clad masses of today. They’re up to something far more genuine, far more permanent, and a lot better looking.

So, you’re officially sick of wearing a big ol’ winter coat (understandable, it’s been a long season), but, it’s still too cold out to go completely sans outerwear. Enter the Ridgewell from Lavenham.
