THE BIGGER, THE BETTER - BUTTON DOWN

Okay it's not always like that - the bigger, the better - but in this case a big button down shirt really makes a statement and stands out. See the perfect "roll" on the Drake's shirt something they learned from the master of button down Brook's Brothers.

CHAD'S AGENCY SHOWROOM - FALL/WINTER 2014

Above you see the pictures of the Chad's Agency showroom for Fall/Winter 2014.

As the collection of Arrow is growing, with pants, jackets, blazers etc. I can now offer a 

complete collection, so I also could present the collection on mannequins. The new pearl in the showroom is definitely the shirt cabinet I found in a clients garage. When I first saw it, it was covered 

with paint and dirt. But after some hours of work of restoration it shines in my showroom.

ENGINEERED GARMENTS X WITH FARIBAULT WOOLEN MILLS

Since 1897, Faribault Woolen Mills has been making blankets for the military. The current iteration of their Foot Soldier Military Wool Blanket has been in use since about 1917, and was originally made to accommodate fluctuating temperatures in often-spartan cadet sleeping quarters. In addition to being permanently moth proofed, the fabric has the advantage of being machine washable and dryable, because anything good enough for the military should be tough, not precious.

Engineered Garments uses the Medic Green and U.S. Navy Gray Foot Soldier Military Wool Blankets as the base for their CPO shirts, which feature a Faribault Woolen Mills patch at the bottom and the corresponding blanket symbol behind the right pocket. Leather elbow patches and tonal buttons finish off the details.

SALVATORE PICCOLO SS 2014 - SNEAKPEEK

Sneakpeek of Salvatore Piccolo, accents and references to Cuba, imagined at the turn of the '30s and '40s. Colors, patterns, materials such as special and will always be popular. Neapolitan sartorial tradition that finally puts aside the fact folklore of the usual cliches and accepts the challenge with the contemporary. (pics via Men's Reverie)
