Viberg Pop-Up in NYC

I've been a huge fan of Viberg for a few years now after seeing Andrew Chen's pair and Freeman's exclusives last year. So I had to stop by their pop-up in the LES today to catch them before they head of to more market shows and other destinations. Brett's a class act dude, we grabbed a coffee and he gave me a little rundown on the industry, their business model and construction, along with other general bs'ing.  Everyone in the team had rad style and a casual demeanor that I really enjoy and I'm even more eager to get into a pair of the boots (the first image). Check out more from Viberg; I expect a lot of great things from these guys and look forward to working on something soon.

Concept Series by Stock Manufacturing

So I took part in a really cool concept with the guys from Stock Manufacturing out of Chicago. Myself, Justin from Tucked, Atif from Por Homme, and stylist Marcus Allen all designed garments we wanted and Stock made them for you guys to pre order at awesome prices due to the fact Stock has their own factory and gets them straight to you.

Read below for the details, but just a heads up the garments are only available for pre-order for two weeks.

This month, Stock is bringing you something totally unique. We teamed up with four talented industry professionals to identify the one piece of clothing they really wanted, but couldn’t seem to find - and set out to make it a reality.

They gave us their ideas, picked out their fabrics, and worked with us on every last detail of the design. We used our development and production expertise to fine tune and manufacture the product in our Chicago factory, and are now ready to deliver them to you.

Each piece will be sold exclusively on our site, for 14 days only. After those 14 days, we’ll produce what was ordered, and that’s it. We’ll never make that exact item again.

Wings + Horns Ikat Short sleeve

It's hot as hell instantly here in NYC, and that means I'm already sweaty and dying trying to anything other than sit inside and lay in front of the AC like a dog in the sun.  Which in turn has me stocking up on short sleeve shirts, tees, and chinos.  This one is one that I'm going to grab from Wings + Horns. I like the ikat pattern, it's slim fitting, and the sleeves are perfect with a roll. Check it.

Sweater Sale @ Todd Snyder

Most people think of sweaters as a fall essential, but in the spring and summer I'm all about grabbing a sweater later at night instead of a jacket and throwing it over a tee. Super comfy and dresses up the easy tee and denim look. Grab some nice ones on sale over at Todd Snyder.
