Summer is Around the Corner

Summer is around the corner so it’s time to step up your boat shoe game. We’re big fans of Sperry Gold Cups, for a few reasons-

1. They have a Vibram Sole which never wears down

2. They have a triple density memory foam which molds to your feet like a Tempur-Pedic Bed

3. They are lined with deerskin which wicks away sweat and moisture

4. They just look great.

Click on the link above for more designs and the ridiculous $1,000 Crocodile version. The venetians below are great because they slip on easy and don’t wrinkle like the other versions do. Wait for them to go on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale around Father’s Day and pick them up for just over a Franklin.

The Importance of Fit

One of my cardinal rules of clothing is that clothes MUST fit. A $300 “off the rack” suit that fits well will look better than a $5,000 Brioni suit that looks like it belongs to your dad. So before you buy anything, try it on, makes sure it fits slim, and get it tailored if it needs be. Look at the difference a few extra sizes can make:

Before

After

P.S.-Notice how the collar stands straight up when unbuttoned. Any shirt you buy that you desire to wear unbuttoned should do this. 1MX shirts at express have great stiff collars and only cost $50 regular price and as low as $20 a piece on sale.
