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 […]
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 […]

For the Love of Tailoring
This week, I heard of the passing of Martin Greenfield, who, out of a workshop in Greenpoint across the east river of New York, worked as a tailor for the last 70 years. I credit Mr. Greenfield for establishing the look of American tailoring, and I was lucky enough to work with him on a […]
Highlights of Sunshine
As is the usual rhythm of our business and calendar, we just launched the Summer Collection, or “Edit,” as some like to call it. These new items are yet another reason to connect with your stylist for updates that can work for you and your summer wardrobe needs. Starting in suiting, we are highlighting a […]
Keeping Your Cool
Staying Cool in the Heat With temps here in the 80’s this week in the south, we got an early taste of the summer heat ahead. This preview of summer reminded me that most guys don’t enjoy the heat, especially if their work environment includes suiting. The truth is that most men “run hot” […]
Exactly How You Like It
Our custom-made product is always unique. We build each piece individually to fit a body’s measurement with the added preference. These initial measurements are what we call core, and each new category profile are built from this initial measurement. A shirt profile for example uses upper body core measurements to base needed measurements specific to […]
Swing into Style
Golf has become a pretty stylish game, and I am reminded of the wool tartan pants, the heavy golf shoes, and argyle sweaters that my uncle used to wear back in the seventies – kind of a Bob Hope in technicolor. With a whole new generation of players in an era where performance fabrics are […]
