You can't talk about American style without mentioning denim. From it's humble, utilitarian roots, it has risen to the pinnacle of fashion and has an almost cult-like international following. So every brand has to consider how it's pieces mix in with denim. I wanted to bring you a few pictures of our pieces mixed into a unique vintage look. There are so many cool ways to play these looks, I'm really excited about seeing how our customers do it their way. Here's a few interpretations of mine:
In the next pic you'll see I'm working off the same base. It's great to be able to build a lot of different looks from a few key pieces. My shirt is our Chatham (Polo) collar in a cranberry vintage stripe. The jacket is our workhorse, the Period Perfect Navy Blazer. A nice bowtie, a pocket square, and I'm elegant enough for reservations, but still easy enough for a few whiskey cocktails at the Clover Club. Oh, and since I'm almost a gentleman, I'm rarely sans a cap. My current fave is this tan herringbone newsboy.
The final outfit is a sporty, narrative outfit inspired by the Great Depression. Overalls were common attire for working men and merchants. I've stepped mine up a bit by adding a Chatham collar shirts and bowtie. I draped a pocket square in the pocket and on the left strap used a vintage pin that reads "vote dry". Finished with my cap du jour. Don't miss the heavy brogue boots! I promise to some more specialized blogs on shoes and how to go spiffy to spectacular using small accessories to set your style apart.
