Is it fall yet? Of course you can wear these now, but these things are begging to be worn with super-dark denim. Incredibly cheap and great muted colors. The stripes on the middle brown are actually navy. Nice.

Stand by for an in-person on this one. It’s on the way. Has an immense amount of potential if it posesses the same lines as the wool Hilfiger trim fits. Chambray can look great, yet it can also look terrible. 64% cotton chambray, 36% linen. From Overstock, so $2.95 shipping, but you do get dinged if you send it back. Beware, Overstock has been known to have a pretty strict return policy. (i.e. sometimes, partial refunds)

If you live east of the Mississippi, finding this in your neck of the woods might be close to impossible. Even if you live out West getting your hands on a bottle is no gimmie. Based out of Bend Oregon, Deschutes Brewery releases a special reserve edition of their Black Butte Porter every year, and after 23 incarnations, they’ve got it down. Ingredients used to create the complex flavor of this year’s edition include Seville orange zest, chocolate nibs, and pasilla negra chilies. Worth finding someone in the distribution radius to procure a bottle on your behalf.

It’s not solid, but instead a nice tiny birds eye micro-dot. Thankfully L.E.C. is running a free shipping/no minim code now: DEFINED with pin 2514. Expires 7/15. Hat tip to Michael D. for the code.
The Huck team is off on vacation. Which means their big winter clearance is very…
Brooks Brothers starts their winter clearance with an additional 25% off sale items.
Plus a Christmas album you probably haven't heard yet this year. Maybe.
With a focus on holiday events. It's their last sale before their shipping cutoff.
Style choices to make for those times when how you're perceived is critical.
