The Thomas Crown Affair Suit, Revisited

Writer Wei Koh had a very nice article about Steve McQueen’s suits in The Thomas Crown Affair for a recent issue of Rake, and it’s available to view on their site: http://www.therakeonline.com/article_stevemcqueen.html. I think I’m going to have to sign up for a subscription soon, it just sucks that the cost is a bit steep.

I had some more pictures of McQueen in one of his three piece suits in this previous post.

The picture was taken for a cover of LIFE back in 1942.

J.Press FW2009

J.Press has begun to update their website with their offerings for this fall and winter. The catalog is available here.

It’s a shame their clothing isn’t all that great, both in quality and in fit.

Skating in a Suit

Well, technically longboarding I guess.

Engineered Garments Workaday Fatigue Pants

Olive fatigue pants from the Workaday line, available at Drinkwater’s Cambridge. Here are a few examples of how you can wear them: Daily Wardrobe with Daiki Suzuki. I prefer boots and a chambray shirt myself.

Engineered Garments FW2009 – Argyle Knit Bedford Jackets

The knit bedford jackets are back this season in argyle patterns.  This would be a tough piece to wear, and is likely something that your kids would pull out of the closet 20 years from now and laugh the same way we laugh now about our parents’ clothing from the 70’s and 80’s (my dad wore a baby blue tuxedo with a ruffled front shirt to his wedding…).

Context has it in the navy/black version and Hejfina in the black/grey.  There is another version in a brown/green, but I don’t have any good pictures of it yet.

Examples on how to pair up navy colored sportcoats from Men’s Ex (click the image to see the full size).  As shown earlier, navy can go with just about everything.

Apolis Activism FW2009

These were posted on styleforum.net a few months back, but I completely forgot about them until the Apolis guys updated their site with them last month.

Espresso on Ice

Besides beer, this is probably the best summer drink that you can have. Just pour the shots directly over the ice and nurse on it for an hour or so. This brings out more of the flavors while removing some of the bitterness.

Coffee is for closers only.

Engineered Garments SS2009 Workshirts

These saved my ass in the 100F+ temperatures that Seattle had this last week. The fabrics are light and breathe fairly well (and even better than my linen shirts).

They’re sold out at a few places, but Drinkwater’s Cambridge has a few left in the blue/yellow plaid version on sale for about $110. Give them a call to place an order in the next few days, as they’ll probably go quick.
