We're looking at bringing in some rings

what do you think? Should we carry these rings? The price starts at $100 and climbs to the mid-300s.

Clip on Bow Ties versus Tie Your Own

I just had a discussion regarding clip-on bow ties and when, if ever, they can be worn. I feel that anytime you are in an formal, elegant setting you should NEVER, NEVER wear clip-on ties. However, if you are matching up a bow tie with a whimsical outfit: cut-off sleeves and suspenders with shorts and boots (for example) and walking around town then a clip-on tie is fine.

Just make certain that Scott Shuman is there to immortalize your look in The Sartorialist.

How to take care of linen

Linen is notorious for wrinkling, and in an odd way, that's part of its charm. Casual linen pieces can be washed at home in the washer and dryer, and is recommended, because the more linen is washed, the softer, more absorbent and more luminous it becomes.

For the most part linen jackets, suits, and dresses should be dry cleaned to keep their inner construction (facings, lining, shoulder pads, etc.) intact. And dry cleaning restores linen's crisp shape and finish.

However before you wash linen be sure to check the label to see if it is mixed with other fibers; always iron linen when it is damp; and finally avoid folding linen as the wrinkles are unsightly and very hard to remove.

Naked and Famous Denim

We have a new selection of Naked and Famous Denim. This is a great line of raw and selvedge denim. They have great fits, not only for skinny guys, but their "Weird Guy" fit is great for those with a more athletic build.
