What’s on sale RIGHT NOW.
So, unfortunately, even at 50% off these Italian-made Filson Black Label pieces are still pretty pricey. But, slightly more obtainable is always better than completely unobtainable, right? Great fits, impeccable construction, beautiful detailing and bragging rights like whoa. Yours if you want ‘em. Read More
Rounding-up the best eco / ethical kicks to take you from this season to the next.
I was going to make Hickoree’s Summer Sale this week’s Friday Find, but then I realized there wouldn’t be anything left by then, so you’re getting the heads-up today. Don’t say I never did anything for ya. Tons of brands, plenty of sizes, and markdowns as high as 70%. Looks like the weekend’s come early. Read More
How do you improve an impeccably tailored, perfectly fitting, unstructured Italian-made blazer? Knock a big ol’ chunk off its price. E-tailer Liftluxe has two two-button cotton-linen blazers from L.B.M. 1911. Both feature notched lapels, patch pockets, side vents and functional button cuffs. And both are now 40% off. Read More
The Lace-up Shoes from Veras are handcrafted in Spain using traditional, decades-old methods. Combining the best elements of espadrilles and plimsolls, the lightweight sneakers feature breathable cotton uppers, rope midsoles and rubber outsoles. Oliver Spencer has two styles (woven and mesh), and both are currently 30% off. Read More
When it comes to sunglasses, there seems to be two prevailing schools of thought. One: buy cheap, ’cause they’ll only get lost or broken anyway. Two: buy quality, and don’t let ‘em get lost or broken. The People Sunglasses from Super are for those who subscribe to the latter. They’re handmade in Italy. Read More
The moderately and (very) immoderately priced goods that I’d rather spend it on this month.
The Roeldal Blazer from Norse Projects, a two part haiku:
Unstructured blazer
Floral print on the inside
Two trends in one piece
Deeply discounted, Italian-made sweaters anyone? The Spot sweaters from Svensson are made in Florence out of 100% pure Merino wool. Slim in fit and light in weight, the handsomely textured toppers will make a great go-to for staying warm in the office air conditioning this summer (seriously though, why do they make it so damn cold?). Read More
In so summery it hurts news: madras espadrilles. The Real Madras Espadrilles from IOU Project are made in Spain out of handwoven, 100% cotton madras from India. Light, bright and affordable as a… thing that rhymes with light and bright, the RMEs combine two summertime standbys in one great looking pair of stand-ins (swing and a miss). Read More
I realize I’ve been giving a lot of coverage to Howlin’ by Morrison lately, but with products like these, can you blame me? The co.’s just-released SS12 Ties are knit in Scotland from 100% pure new wool. Hearty enough for winter, yet vibrant enough for summer, the ties are a great year-round option, from a brand that just keeps getting better and better. Read More
The Bleu de Paname Fatigue Pants, a two part haiku:
Rugged construction
Cotton twill and wood buttons
And a tailored fit
Leave it to Hickorees to find a wool jacket nice enough to make me almost wish winter would last a little bit longer. Almost. The Wool Work Jackets from Le Laboureur are made in France from handsomely hairy virgin wool burel cloth. Their fit is slim, their construction is gangbusters, and their price, for what you’re getting, ain’t bad at all. Read More
They make great sweaters. They make great accessories. And now, they make great shirts too. Belgian’s Howlin’ by Morrison has officially become a triple threat. The Thurston Shirts are handcrafted in Portugal from an assortment of summer-tastic Italian linen-blend fabrics. Details include a button down collar, single chest pocket, and mother of pearl buttons. Read More
The Wool Satchels from anonima|Mente are handmade in Ravenna, Italy out of 3mm thick wool felt and vegetable-tanned leather. A great option for school or the office, the bags feature a laptop-sized main compartment, two smaller front organizer pockets, and button snap closures. Read More
