The Sartorialist

With blue jeans, black jeans, grey flannels, or khakis, Alden cordovan shoes are so chic.

The color is exquisite and the quality/durability is world famous.

The difficulty is finding an Alden model that makes a good foot and has a toe that’s not too rounded.

I had seen these wingtips before but I wasn’t really sold on them until I saw this gentleman looking so respectable in them.

Three Questions.

-Where’s she going??

-Who should replace her??

-How sad or happy are you about this?

Emily has been working with me for a few months. It’s been fun to watch her preparing for her first real Winter. Well, trying to prepare. Everyday during this past week seems to deepen her shock at just how cold it gets in Manhattan.

It has been equally fun to watch her layer and layer the few appropriate clothes she did bring with her in a beautiful attempt at freeze relief.

Finding Inspiration with the Sartorialist

Did you know that this is a real thing?

All over sartorial Japan (at least in the Classic Italian sub-genre) guys flip their shirt collar to appear more nonchalant. Even the shops display the shirts with the collars flipped.
