Now available in stores as part of their fall-rollout. The fabric is pretty soft and I first thought that there was some wool in it, but nope, all cotton. Hopefully they’ll have some more in other colors later, I could definitely go for one with blue stripes.

J.Crew’s fall rollout has begun and they updated their website last night with new arrivals. Most of it is expected basics, but there are a few interesting gems: a denim western shirt, copies of Take Ivy, printed Hill-Side pocket squares, and socks from Saint James. The footwear lineup is also becoming more impressive, [...]
It needs a good polishing, but I finally got around to getting a new belt for this sterling silver slide buckle that I’ve had lying around unused for the past few years. Made in England like the best of them, it was purchased from J.Crew of all places back when they attempted to sell [...]

How do you come up with novelty, given the inherent limits of men’s wear?
Men’s wear is almost like a framework. All the shapes are there and you can tweak them, but you have to [...]
J.Crew has finally put up some high-res images from their lookbook for fall. It looks like you can pre-order these items, and I would guess that their seasonal rollout will start getting to stores later this month.

Some obscure options from Japan.

A few options available online… goals I had in mind in what I was looking for: classic/simple styling, a narrow to medium size brim, made from straw or shantung, and with no visible branding. Unless going the custom order route, it’s surprisingly hard to find a RTW hat which meets that criteria.
A Stetson made [...]
I’ve had J.Crew’s latest utility shirt for about two weeks now and I’m pretty happy with the purchase so far. The gingham fabric is a linen/cotton mix and it’s been great in the warmer weather that Seattle is finally getting.
When I first received the shirt I was also surprised by the detailing [...]

J.Crew just updated its website with new arrivals, some of which is already available in their stores. My favorites are the utility shirts and the shawl collar fleece deck jacket, and other interesting items include the King of Vintage book (see my previous post), an inexpensive canvas tote, and this nautical inspired tie bar.
