Put This On • Professionalism →
My final post at Put This On.
Thanks to Jesse for the opportunity to write for the site that inspired me to start dressing like a grown up and start my own blog. It’s been an honor to have that platform the past few months and access to such a huge audience each day.

Review: Hugh & Crye dress shirts
When I first started trying to rebuild my wardrobe, one of the first things I did was swear off shirts that didn’t come in my exact neck and sleeve size. No more alpha (small, medium, large, etc.) sizing, as I could never find a combination that fit my frame correctly. Over time, I developed a preference for custom, made-to-measure shirts. Going back to ready-to-wear is a tough...

Review: Gustin Denim
A while back I blogged about Gustin Denim’s Kickstarter project and also mentioned it at Put This On, which came in with the promise to offer $81 raw selvedge denim jeans.
The pitch hit all the right notes: denim fabric sourced in the United States or Japan, made in San Francisco and a price that reflects selling direct to customers versus retail markup.
The Kickstarter was a massive...

Review: Mr. Davis Undershirts
If you’re the kind of guy who wears undershirts, then you’ve probably found your T-shirt of choice probably has some kind of problem that you don’t like — but you tolerate anyway.
I like undershirts as they generally keep pit stains from showing up on my dress shirts, but the standard white V-neck does present a few problems for me from a lot of brands.
First, a lot...

daenyshio asked: Richard Bennett Custom Tailors & Shirtmakers is having a sample sale today and tomorrow only. Huge savings and some nice selections while they last. I picked up three shirts from an order that was abandoned by the customer a few years back. Jackson and Wells in the Loop. Cheers!

Congressman illegally spends $750k in campaign... →
Gotta hand it to Jesse Jackson, Jr., who balled so hard the Feds are actually going to fine him:
Jackson Jr. also purchased mink cashmere capes and parkas with campaign money, as well as a $43,350 gold-plated, men’s Rolex watch.
I just hope his mink wasn’t made out of 100-percent rat ass.

Review: J. Lawrence Khaki's of Carmel khaki...
I want to make an admission: I’ve only owned one pair of khakis since getting into this whole menswear, dressing-better thing.
I know it’s a wardrobe staple, the bedrock of casual workplace wardrobes across the country, but I’ve really only owned one and even that pair I ended up selling after a few months. My preference has always been to wear wool trousers or denim.
