We’ve taken a look at Beckett Simonon shoes here on the site before in the past. The long and short of it is that they make super high quality shoes at extremely reasonable prices. The catch is that they take a super long time to ship, as they essentially follow a “Kickstarter” model for all their shoes…
Read moreModernTailor Made-To-Measure Dress Shirts Finally In Review!
ModernTailor is one of the oldest and original online MTM shirtmakers. As far as pricing, etc., they seem to sit right in the middle — not super cheap, not high end by any means either. They’re not a particularly modern brand, nor do they have anything unique or special specifically to offer, as you’ll see. They just seem to be one of the first companies doing this, and so they more than deserve a full review. Here is what we think of ModernTailor’s custom shirt offerings ($54.95+)…
Read moreReview: Asket Oxford Shirts & Sweatshirt
Asket is a company that is rethinking men’s basics. Now, there are more than a handful of companies out there claiming to do this nowadays, but there are quite a few things that make Asket different than the rest. For one, they focus on the luxury market. Meaning, their prices are not cheap, and the quality is quite high. Second, they have a unique sizing/fit model, wherein you choose your size, as well as you body type, and length.
Read moreReview: Michael Spencer Custom Dress Shirts
There sure do seem to be a whole lot of online companies doing made-to-measure shirting these days. And that’s a good thing, through and through. So, no complaints here. But it also is difficult to navigate at times, with it being unclear what separates one company from another, and where true value actually lies. And then there is Michael Spencer. They’ve been around for over 60 years…
Read moreReview: Paul Evans Dress Shoes
Ah, yes, the famous Paul Evans. You’ve likely seen these shoes on many Instagram posts and feeds. Most of you have noticed them before, and likely recognize the name. If not, you have surely seen them even without knowing them. Somehow or other, Paul Evans shoes just seem to be everywhere. Which, seemingly, is both good and bad…
Read moreReview: The New Slim Fit “Sail Rigger” Oxford Cloth Button Down Shirt By Lands’ End
As a solid option for quality menswear, Lands’ End is likely super underrated. They have, for many many years, produced quality garments at affordable prices. The issue with them has always been twofold: their style taste has been mediocre at best, and their fits have been terrible. But for quite some time now, they have been trying to fix this up…
Read moreA Review Of DSW’s New Warfield & Grand Dress Shoe Lineup: The Medley Wingtip Oxford
With the proliferation of online, direct to consumer shoe brands, it’s becoming more and more of a difficult argument to make as to why one would shop at a place like DSW. Now, I have nothing against good, ol’ DSW. But when, for about $200 you can get a shoe that will last many times longer than just about anything out of DSW, the value proposition of DSW just isn’t there in the same way that it used to be anymore…
Read moreUniqlo Button-Down Shirt Haul & Review — Summer 2018
Uniqlo is a much loved source for guys’ basics, especially oxford cloth buttons downs, and similar styled shirts. The quality is very solid, and the value at Uniqlo prices are especially spectacular. Which is, of course, why so many guys love them. However, they seem to have issues with fit…
Read moreFull Review of the Super Impressive New Dress Shoes from Thursday Boot Co.
The much beloved DTC boot company called Thursday Boot Co. has recently just expanded into making men’s dress shoes as well. Of course, this is a natural brand extension for them, but that doesn’t mean that they would do a great job necessarily…
Read moreJ Crew's New Short Sleeved Stretch OCBD Reviewed
A short sleeve button down shirt is a great option for the warmer weather. It’s a bit more put-together than a polo, without the full-on stuffiness of a regular, long sleeved button down. Plus, if you get it in either bold prints, or very subdued solids like white or pink, it’s a great, casual option that can look great with a pair of shorts, just as quickly as it could under a blazer…
