I’d take one of these Studio Coward pieces in print form if they were handing them out. Heck, I’d even pay for it if they decided to sell them. Bonus: The entire piece is a repeating pattern. I was skeptical too so I tested it.
A Fashionable Thursday v12
Get your summer swagger back with an addition or two to your closet. Though when the temperature is tipping the scale at nearly 100F, long sleeves are hard to imagine. Nobody said looking good was easy.
Brooklyn Tailors – Light Blue Twill Dress Shirt
I just recently found out about Brooklyn Tailors and I’m already strongly attracted to their stuff. I’m a sucker for a spread collar right now (as you’ll see later as well) on any shirt that would be paired with a tie. And I’ve probably mentioned it before, but I don’t do button down collars with a tie either. As a standalone shirt, they’re good though.
Loving the shirts and the description of the fit, “Trim through the body and arms, the shirt is long enough to tuck in, short enough to untuck.” Just the way I like it.
The Perfect Pour
A simple but quite informative graphic to help you decide how to take your coffee. I, of course, take the weak-sauce route with a mocha 99% of the time. Click to view the entire piece.

Mad Men season 4
Forget the fact that NFL players report for training camp in two weeks, it’s time to get your TiVo’s set for the fourth season of Mad Men in just two weeks. It’s been by far the most addicting (and more than likely the least benefiting) show the wife and I have watched consistently in years.
They’re making it easy for you to get semi-caught up over the next few weeks if you’re behind with a Season 3 marathon as well as all 13 episodes from last season being on video on demand for the next month. Otherwise, Netflix or iTunes seasons 1 & 2 to catch the entire back-story.
The attire, the drama and the story lines are all top-notch.
Also, if you don’t follow along through RSS, you missed the season 4 cast photo I posted the other night. You should subscribe so it doesn’t happen again.
Of those who do watch, anybody care to share their favorites? Episode? Character?
Field Notes: County Fair Colors
Wow, Coudal might have just sucked me in. I’ve been meaning to swing by and pick up a new Moleskine, but goodness, these County Fair edition of Field Notes could be enough to sway me away from leather. I’d also take the map below as a print for my wall if they decided to produce it.
