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.

This place rules. I got my favorite shirt there (blue striped Armani Jeans button up i’m wearing in the pic above) I tell anyone who needs something formal but with some spirit/attitude, go browse the racks at Ebreo. Perfect for well priced suits with a cool selection of shirting, outerwear and shoes too. It’s in Williamsburg on Grand St. sandwiched between Dolls Kill and Supreme (lol) and it is run by Julian Colucci. He is one of the most natural and gifted hosts and shopkeepers I know and he is also a licensed and practicing therapist. He specializes in Italian menswear and sources from all over the place. The last couple times I ran into him there, he was coming back from Florida or Italy.
I think he’s also got an espresso machine rocking in the back.
So much more I could say about this place, but just go over there if you’re in New York!

I LOVE clothes! Friends ask me where I get my leather jacket and it’s Olive’s Menswear. Specifically their 2020 Magnus Faux Leather Jacket. I like their pieces because they are well crafted and thoughtfully curated. Falls into that category of minimalist brands that I love. It’s better than Uniqlo, but not as expensive as Knickerbocker. I highly recommend.

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!

You can't get comfy at home unless you're wearing slippers, and Haflingers are where it's at. Cozy wool felt on a cork bed with a rubber sole, so you don't slip while you're washing your 900th dish for the day. Go grizzlies or bust. Seriously these are the best slippers of all time.

IYKYK. Gimme a bag of pirates booty and LFG! David Suchet as Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot does nothing but solve mysteries and get fits off (since 1989 btw.) I’ve watched the show my whole life, and the theme music still runs through my head whenever I’m walking down the street. They did every Poirot novel (70 episodes) and you can stream it everywhere. Most episodes are 90 mins so plan accordingly.

I know I’m supposed to put some Criterion pick here, or some sort of tour de force film, but have you seen Charles Grodin in Clifford?! Holy hell, few things cheer me up like Martin Short, pretending to “look at you like a normal person.” It’s a dumb movie that is better the more you watch it.
