For those of you living in the York area, Superdenim.co.uk recently opened up a new retail store called “The Rugged Standard” on 19 High Petergate. It will carry the same brands as their online store.

Brooks Brothers has started its Friends and Family sale today – use code friend98 for 25% off at checkout. Some highlights: ribbon belts, clunky Black Fleece double-monks, and the interesting Black Fleece fragrance for men.
J.Crew has also added new items to their spring sale: it wouldn’t be a bad time to pick out shorts if you needed any.
And lastly, Rugby marked down some of their inventory 25-50% as part of their insider sale.
Update: J.Press starts their sale tomorrow on May 7th. Use code PSMAY10 for 25% off at checkout.
In the photographs used for the Nothing But the Best album, Frank Sinatra can be seen wearing several shirts with club collars (a small detail that I’ve somehow missed before). When he’d loosen up his tie and undo his top button, he’d then also nonchalantly leave his collar pin attached to only one hole.
It’s a bit difficult to find RTW shirts with collar pin holes today if you wanted to recreate this look, and it would probably be easier to just buy a regular club collar shirt and have a tailor add the needed holes: Patrik Ervell has made these a signature piece of his collections, and on the low end you can also find some nice ones from J.Crew and Rugby. J.Press will have you covered on the pins.
Now available to view online on johnlobb.com.
Stuart & Wright, a favorite Brooklyn retailer of mine, just opened up a new webstore that is worth checking out – brands carried include Engineered Garments, Acne, and Band of Outsiders. Their previous arrangement with Refinery29 wasn’t the greatest experience for online customers, so I’m glad to see them running their own site now.
The importance of a navy blazer or sportcoat in any man’s wardrobe cannot be stressed enough, and Men’s Ex recently published an issue focusing on their use in both formal and casual looks. Related posts with more visual guides:

From Men’s Ex, April 2010:
J.Crew did a quiet rollout this evening of some new items for summer. My favorites are these sun faded sweatshirts and just about all of the madras shirts. There are also many new Mister Freedom pieces (those handkerchiefs will go fast), and the lobster claw belt is finally online along with another nautical inspired whale tail belt.
The only thing that’s missing that I was looking forward too are the special Warehouse jeans, but hopefully those will show up within a few weeks.
New fleece sweatshirts and sweatpants are now in at Oi Polloi. There are other versions available this season in a small diamond pattern as well.
Now available online.
Some new products are now online too, and it’s nice to see that the cotton tweed trousers are back.
