It’s always difficult finding clothing that helps you show support for your favorite team that isn’t some cookie cutter design on poor quality materials. T-shirts from the major sporting companies are always rough and uncomfortable with jacked up prices and nothing more creative than the logo and team name. I don’t know about you but I’ve had enough of those. If you’re a fan of a team from the Hoosier state then you’ll want to turn your attention to Hayes & Taylor. Continue reading
On Sunday I’ll be heading to my first Cubs game of the year which also means I’ll be drinking my first Old Style at Wrigley Field of the year. It won’t be my first Old Style this year, I have a fridge stocked full for watching games from my couch, but drinking it at Wrigley is kind of like drinking Guinness in Ireland. It just tastes better. Continue reading
College basketball may be done until late fall but Starboard Clothing is helping keep the spirit alive all summer long. How you ask? Well, the brand just released its summer line up of bow ties and among the madras selections is a nod to one of the best rivalries in the land. The Tobacco Road Madras Beau will have you looking dapper while you wait for another season to begin. Continue reading
Just because I’m a little late to the party doesn’t mean I won’t cover something worthy of coverage. I’d actually heard about the Kiel James Patrick and Brooks Brothers collaboration probably a month before it was released but things have been so nuts around here that I’m only just now getting a chance to dedicate some space to it. The collection takes Kiel James Patrick’s designs and incorporates classic and iconic Brooks Brothers fabrics into them. By far my favorite to come out of the collection is the BB#1 Braided Belt. Continue reading
Jim Halpert isn’t exactly the first person you’d think of as a style icon from The Office. His style is a little bland, a tad boring. Basic is the best word to describe it. But there’s something to be said about having a uniform and sticking to it. You’d could almost guarantee Jim would show up to work every episode in a solid dress shirt, usually light blue but sometimes white and occasionally gray, a dark tie and dark pants. It might not be flashy but it gets the job done and looks good. In honor of Jim, let’s browse a few light blue shirts that wouldn’t look out of place in his closet. Continue reading
Sadly The Office ends its nine season run tomorrow. While it’s true that it hasn’t been the same since Steve Carell left and Season 8 Nellie was one of my least favorite characters of all time, I’m really going to miss the show. The show also features one of the best prep style icons in all of pop culture, Andrew Bernard. Even if he wasn’t referencing it every few minutes, it would come as no shock that he attended an Ivy League school. He’s from a “line of WASPs so long it leads back to Moses” and certainly dress the part. Let’s take a look back at some of his finest moments. Continue reading
I have made a goal for myself ladies, and once I set a goal I don’t let anything get in my way until I achieve it. I certainly won’t let the fact that I currently do not own a pair of decent golf shoes stand in my way. I am going to improve my golf game this summer even if it kills me to do so and since I am Mr. GLP’s wife I can’t go out there looking like the average (or below average) golfer that I am. They say you should dress for the job you want and not for the one you have. Well, after an exhaustive search I have finally found the shoes that will help me dress the part this summer. Continue reading
By now my difficulties with finding shirts that fit well have been well documented. Body’s just right, cuffs end halfway up my forearms, sleeves are long enough but there’s enough extra material in the body for another shirt. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. So it’s no surprise I jumped at an offer from J.J. Threads to try out a shirt that was custom in more ways than one. Continue reading
With warmer days finally arriving my boat shoes have been out in full force. They get so much wear in the non-winter months though that it’s always nice to have an extra pair or two to lighten the load and make them last longer. With an abundance of water in the Great Lakes region (fun fact in Michigan you are never more than six miles from a lake) it’s fitting that one of the iconic makers of boat shoes is Michigan-based. Sebago (albeit founded in Maine but now owned by Wolverine) has pumped a double dose of Midwest into its flagship Docksides with its Horween Dockside collection. Continue reading
A week ago I had to make a quick day trip into Chicago to pick up some shipping supplies for Flyover Press and meet with a brand rep to get measured for a custom shirt for an upcoming post. After taking care of business I figured that since I was already in the city I might as well make a pit stop at a local brewery for a couple drinks and lunch. Revolution Brewing happened to have a brewpub just off the interstate and right on my way, so I headed that way, found a street parking spot a couple storefronts down and headed into the brewpub.
