The center of the capsule is suiting with new qualities from Italian Vitale Barberis Canonico and British Brisbane Moss.

A Question of Quilting
A Question of Quilting As part of the new collection, we are relaunching our whole outerwear lineup. Starting with our recycled Eco-tech with its ultralight characteristic and modern “silky” appearance, this fabric completely replaces our old nylon tech, which we have run for some years. The Eco Tech fabric is sustainably engineered from recycling post-consumer garments […]
An Exercise in Re-Styling
An Exercise in Re-Styling New Collection launch day is always a big day both in the home office and around the country, as each stylist is given the new seasonal tools to share with their Clients. These include new swatches in every category, from our global mill partners, with a curated sense of a […]
The Gift Of Custom
Each year around this time, I realize that a lot of people I know have a love-hate relationship with the Holidays. We feel like we have just finished summer and enjoyed the first chill days of fall, and suddenly, it is Thanksgiving, and we are trying to quickly get ourselves organized before the end of […]
A Color Through The Ages
A few days ago, I began wondering why Navy Blue continues to be a preferred color not only with our clients but also within the menswear market. Particularly when compared to black, it outperforms across our many categories from pants to suits and outerwear. Personally, too I find it a constant go-to for every occasion […]
Outerwear Choices
On a recent trip to London and the UK, I was able to fully appreciate the need for having the right outerwear on hand as temps changed from one day to the next with one beautiful brisk morning walking across Hyde Park with temps at around 5° C. I had a Field Jacket in Reda […]
Refined Casual
The new fall collection seems to capture the season so perfectly through coloration, textures, patterns and, indeed, the fabric qualities themselves selected from our mill partners from around the world. Our tailoring and suits, in particular, have stood the test of time and most clients, established or new, find that a custom-made suit is […]
Fall Sweeps In
September has begun, and this month, fall sweeps down upon us unavoidably, with reminders at our local shopping markets and coffee shops, with pots of Mums, pumpkin spice, and Halloween décor eagerly displayed in the premium pick-up spots. Over the last holiday weekend, I traveled to my home here in Connecticut, the place that […]
A New Menswear Must-Have
Last week, I spent some time with our leadership team in Las Vegas. The trip had nothing to do with the Superbowl, Adele, or slot machines but was a combination of business meetings during the day and group dinners in the evening, so I had packed for casual and business casual moments. During the trip, […]
Kicking off Winter
Earlier this week we transmitted our kick-off meeting live from the Dallas Stylist Studio at Inwood Village. The team and I were able to show the updates to the studio, present the new winter swatches in detail, and get some selling tips on how to combine them back to fall pieces. From a product POV, we started […]
