Sometimes you’re lucky enough to stumble upon something great entirely by accident and at exactly the right time. This is how I feel about Tony Shirtmakers. Tony is a one man powerhouse who designs and makes (mostly custom) shirts & shirt jackets out of his home / studio in Maine. I am impatiently awaiting a beautiful brown-olive shirt jacket I commissioned a few weeks ago that should arrive right around the time this newsletter drops. Tony also just launched a small collection ready-to-wear at No Man Walks Alone — grab a top before they’re all gone!

A few months ago, I reached out on here looking for recommendations for a custom chain stitched jacket for my husband‘s birthday. isthefruitstillgood recommended Tattoo’d Cloth to me, and I am now passing along the recommendation!
He was super easy to work with and did this in a short amount of time. USPS lost the package for a month and it just now got to us, which I am very grateful for and it is perfect timing with the changing of the weather. He is located in Brooklyn, so if you are in the area, check him out! He’s always doing an events and stuff.

Shirt makers in Naples Florida making high end hideous shirts, with an earnestness you cant find anywhere else. This brand has zero self-awareness -if it did it would collab with Dover Market or Ssense or whatever but that’s what makes then worth mentioning. You can have your own private collab with them just by making an interesting outfit with one of these. good luck. it’s really only mens shirts otherwise i’d take my advice,

I haven’t done the sweatpants thing in quarantine, and as the world continues to spiral out of control, few things have kept me grounded like a classic oxford shirt from Anglo Italian. The London shop is owned by friends Alex Pirounis and Jake Grantham. Their vibe is basically their name; a laid back Italian sportswear look smashed into British old boy. The collar on the A.I. oxfords are nice and tall, and the fit is not too slim. Also, their denim is FIRE.

Have you ever lusted over an object to the point of obsession? For some ungodly reason, this has been my relationship with Belgian Shoes: the dainty, bowed loafers only available at their single Midtown storefront (closed on Sunday’s). They’re whimsical, aspirational, and have a way of completing a look — from formal to casual. In a sense, perfectly imperfect.

Tomato season has arrived, and finally I feel justified in my love affair with a classic sandwich: The Turkey Club. I think it’s only appropriate for lunch, BUT it makes a great pairing for a lunch time 50/50 ‘tini (see above.) Oh, and I’ve never actually had one at a club — your local diner probably makes a perfectly good one.

All the pomp and circumstance of drinking a ‘tini, with a little less bite. 1.5oz of Gin, 1.5oz of Dry Vermouth, and a few dashes of Orange Bitters — stirred until ice cold and served in a (chilled!) glass with a twist of lemon or a few olives if that’s your thing. The only rule: never vodka - it doesn’t bring much to the party.
