photo source: 16sur20 (to see more pics click here) Seize sur Vingt is now taking pre-orders for Spring/Summer shirts. They’re allowing you to choose the styling (the fabrics) you want, without having to place a custom order. This is no doubt better for them but it also is nice if you want to make sure that you get a shirt with a certain pattern. They only make limited runs (30-60 usually). I have a solid white shirt from them and I wear it all of the time. And to add to my collection, I’m thinking about ordering one of their spring shirts—I like the Torre Vado (100% Linen) and Rue de Vaugirard fabrics. I’m currently going back and forth with them to try to get them to make my shirt with a rounded collar (a.k.a. penny collar) similar to the one in the image below. Does anyone else have any favorite patterns from the Spring/Summer collection or style ideas? Note: They’re shutting off pre-orders February 28th. You can place your orders through the webstore or by emailing them at nyc@16sur20.com.

Here are a few of my favorite looks in the very wearable Our Legacy AW/10 lineup. I’m also looking forward to what shows up at Winn Perry in town.

Along with these high res images, I received a link to a still film of the lookbook that you can find here.

Wow, what a great victory for the Saints today. I’m really excited that the Saints won. I can only imagine that this’ll add to and push the Mardi Gras festivities over the edge—I can’t wait.

It’s late and I’m packing up for the long trip to New Orleans tomorrow. The posts over the next week might be sporadic because of the travel but I’ll try to stay on top of the scene and keep posting. You might even see a few photos of me in tails.

This weekend has been the weekend of staring at the screen. Already we’ve watched three movies: Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors and Marnie. And they were all spectacular. I decided to take some photos from a couple of scenes in Marnie because the outfits and styles were delightful. Men, you need to watch this film; Tippi Hedren (Marnie Edgar) is hot Hot HOT. It was fun to pay attention to the details in the outfits. I noticed that Sean Connery (Mark Rutland) likes to sport his tie bar pretty low. In most scenes it was about five buttons down and about 4 inches from the belt. And he was pulling it off gracefully. Skinny ties are also a popular style in this film, which is not surprising because they were popular at the time the film was released (1964). And as you may realize, I haven’t commented on the style of John Candy or Dan Aykroyd from Uncle Buck and The Great Outdoors because well… *ahem* I better just not say anything at all.

The other night I ran across these splendid cufflinks. I think the colors and clean design will be the perfect compliment to a nice double-cuffed shirt that you slap on after a day of scuba diving and for a meal on the beach at Passions in Aruba.

Even though it’s extremely dreary outside, I’ve been very satisfied by exploring the deep depths and beauty that lies with The Selby. One of my favorites, as you might speculate if you’ve visited the site recently, is the series with Martin Greenfield (the factory owner who was featured in a recent GQ spread and who is producing garments for Band of Outsiders and Rag & Bone). Drinking a High Life and looking at great photography makes for a perfect Saturday.

photo source: Harrisons of Edinburgh Harrisons of Edinburgh has an amazing selection of what look like quality fabrics (I’ve never had the opportunity to touch). It’s been around since 1863 (That’s almost 150 years!) and was started by Sir George Harrison (the lead guitarist for the Beatles, j/k). And If you’re like me and you enjoy looking at textiles, then check out their selection. The one shown above is my favorite because of the name. It’s called the multi-millionaire and it aligns with my future goals.
