I love loafers. And I especially love horsebit loafers. So I put together a detailed guide to buying some.
This is not a simple list of brands; in this article, I will explore why
you might pick one type of horsebit loafer or another, explain each
recommendation in a fair bit of depth, and explain what types of loafers
to avoid.
Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊
The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.
A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!
Today, I share my interview with a living legend, and a personal idol of mine. He's been around for ages, and while he's been showing up on camera for longer than I've been alive, he's never given an interview before. This is my interview with the Polo Bear.
I'm currently really really enjoying windowshopping Carmina, Grant Stone, Loake, and Church's.
It's really nice because I have the money saved where I could pull the trigger if I wanted to. But I'm not. Those savings are earmarked for other things.
But it's really nice to be able to just look at the beautiful things people are making and enjoying. And then check ebay occasionally.
...but really I want the Grant Stone Coral Loafers.
S.S. Daley's Fall/Winter 2024 menswear collection is wonderful. "Elliot's Room," Daley's playful collection, showed at Pitti Uomo this year, evoking needlepoint tapestries; rugby shirts; and upscale rest, relaxation, and play. This is my #menswear / #fashion highlight for #FW24.
Precise fit can be important, but sometimes, in the face of a clear overall effect and deep meaning in an outfit, considering an outfit in motion, a body in flux... worrying too much about fit can become counterproductive. Let's not lose the forest for the trees.
I put together an unnecessarily long and mostly complete list of custom tailors in NYC. Note: this is not meant to be a list of the best tailors in NYC, just a list of all of the tailors in NYC.
