Andrew On Break @ Smith Butler Bklyn NY+

    If Andrew’s not photographing, on the road managing Ben Watts photo shoots, he’s hanging in Greenpoint …or having to stock up on a new pair of Levi’s @ SB. We gave Andrew a pair of the Tack Slim Rigid Selvedge months back. The wear and tear he’s put into them was noticeable with [...]

Woolrich John Rich & Bros. at Smith Butler Bklyn

Sprezzatura means more than wearing a silk foulard pocket square. It’s an Italian word that conveys the sense of the nonchalant ease of courtiers in manners of etiquette (making it look easy, so to speak). Fashion aficionados are just throwing this word around the menswear blogosphere, but it seems like sprezzatura has a lot to do with quirky accessories rather [...]

Or visit Ken’s work [...]

Mikael Kennedy on Smith + Butler x Tellason (Chapter 1)

If you tell me you have a jacket with a pocket specifically for a map you’ve gotten my attention. There is something about unfolding a paper map out on the hood of your car, or laying it out in the dirt at your feet that makes you feel like you are actually exploring, much more [...]
