The stark white or cream cricket/tennis sweater is hyper prep with an ounce of snoot to boot. It’s just tough to be taken seriously in one. Walk down the street and you risk hearing shouts of: “Thurston? THURSTON HOWELL?”
Cable knit with a multi striped collar, usually made of beefy wool or spongy cotton. The rich used to run around in these things swatting at balls of different types, and usually these things are priced for rich… ball swatters.(?)
Anyway, Brooks Brothers, a brand who you’d certainly expect to produce these, has a few options that ratchet the snob down. A little:
Can the cricket sweater every be pulled off? Maybe if the colors are darker and the stripes are subtle? Or is the whole damn look of one of these completely outdated and just not worth the risk?
Plus a restock (no sale) of a favorite USA assembled dive watch.
It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
Spring ready sneakers, grooming goods, watches, etc. Saddle up. Amazon's spring sale is on.
New sportcoats. Italian desert boots. J. Crew dips their promo-toes into spring.
From de-scaling irons to shining shoes to smelling coat pits. Let's clean up our act.
