After feasting your eyes on these US-made Polka Dot Shirts from Epaulet, you might feel a bit dazed. That’s because their large polka dots, slim fit and American roll collar create an optical illusion that makes any dude wearing one look like a master of the perfectly pulled-off style risk.

Some of you might remember Nick’s post about La Matera from a few weeks back, but for those that don’t, they’re a NY based company that make some seriously gorgeous belts and wallets out of vegetable tanned leather and ethically sourced Argentinian fabrics. And now, they’re on Huckberry. Read More
They say variety is the spice of life. So, I guess that makes the Colorado-made Mountain Briefcase from Topo Designs the Habanero pepper of bags. A hybrid hauler designed for every day use, it can be carried in not one, not two, but three different ways (backpack style, messenger style and briefcase style). Read More

Nigel Cabourn is one of the few designers who can break the “less is more” rule, while still producing pieces that are both understated and classic. That’s because he does it subtly, emphasizing utilitarian details inspired by vintage military gear. Read More

Have you ever thought about origami? Like, really thought about it. When taken out of the context of elementary school, it’s actually a beautiful craft; equally creative and technical. Kind of like leathersmithing. And kind of really like this Folded Wallet from Apogee Handmade. Read More

As mud is to pigs, navy blue unstructured blazers are to menswear bloggers. But, you don’t want to roll around in just any old slop pile, right? So, treat yourself to one of these Unconstructed Blazers from Ian Velardi. Made in Italy from 100% cotton, the patch-pocketed, functioning-cuffed jackets look incredible and will last. Read More
I’m not sure what the “BM” in HeadPorter Plus BM Check Shirts stands for, but it certainly can’t be the one thing I can think of, as these shirts are anything but crappy (yes, that was a poop joke). Painstakingly crafted in Japan from 100% cotton oxford, the slim fit shirts will last for years and years, so they’ll never make you feel like you flushed your money down the toilet (that’s two).

As last week’s comments showed, you can’t please everyone (see here and here if you don’t know what I’m talking about). But, that hasn’t stopped England’s Lavenham from trying. Not only are their Hundon Work Jackets great looking and exceedingly well made (both very pleasing things), they also come in a wide variety of fabrics. Read More

These Waxed Totes are made by Mr. Heins in his Boston workshop out of mid-weight waxed canvas and veg-tanned leather. Read More

There’s something really, really attractive about these Five Brother Heavy Chambray Work Shirts. Maybe it’s that they’re union made in the USA. Or, it could be the raw selvedge chambray fabric. Or, it could be that they have the same details and quality notes as better known Japanese repro work shirts, but at half the price. Read More
Call me old fashioned, but I still can’t get behind the sweatpants trend. To me, they’ll always be reserved for the home. Or the gym. Or that weird kid from elementary school with the asymmetrical bowl cut. That said, these Baseball Pants from Muttonhead are still pretty great. Read More

Made in the USA from Horween leather, nickel-plated brass hardware and domestically-sourced striped wool, the bags will keep your goods as safe as your blankie kept you. Read More
