carsonstreet:
We crashed and burned pretty hard last night, so we weren’t even awake to see Esquire throw up the third installment of our series. So, without further ado, please enjoy the third installment of Opening a New NYC Menswear Store.

Carson Street Clothiers: On the European... →
carsonstreet:
Twice a year, the world’s #menswear “elite” (not trying to stroke any egos here, hence the quotes) pack three weeks worth of sprezz and head out on a European expedition that begins in Florence and ends in Paris, the “Hajj des Hommes,” if you will. During this time—all the while…

On Merchandising and the Importance of Image...
Remember when Richard Alpert visited John Locke, handed him six items and then asked “which already belongs to you”? Yeah, well that has very little to do with the above image, but that shit gave me goose bumps. What that image reminds me of, however, are those obnoxious “which one of the following three items doesn’t belong” tests administered by kindergarten...

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...
If living is truly the process of dying, then it must have been entirely clear from the get-go that Nice Try, Bro would eventually die, or at the very least evolve into something else (shouts to all the Hindus out there). As many of you already know, I have been laboriously working on putting together a new business venture over the greater part of last year. That being...

Of a Kind: A Day in the Life of The Knottery →
ofakind:
Livin’ the dream.
If you ever wondered what Jay and Jack from The Knottery actually look like, they’re really just a couple of dorks. But seriously, big up to The Knottery—really good people chasing their dreams and having fun while doing it.

It's the Ten NYFW Commandments...WHAT?!
New York Fashion Week is just ‘round the corner—you know how I know that? Because certain people who shall remain nameless (shout out to anyone who really doesn’t have a name) just won’t shut the fuck up about it. You know, the same lames who have prepared seven different outfits weeks in advance who, once the festivities actually begin, turn around say “ughch, I...

dieworkwear asked: What advice to you have for preventing crotch blowouts on woolen flannel trousers? I had a pair bespoke tailor made for me in London, and even after giving them an initial soak in the bathtub with vinegar (while wearing them), they still blew out after 18 months of continuous wear. I don't know if it's because of I have particularly meaty thighs and sweaty balls, but if you have any...

Rudy's Barbershop Perfects the Fine Art of Time... →
Or that picture has certainly been Photoshopped because I refuse to believe anyone would walk into a barbershop and actually request such an abomination. In fact, I think Gallup recently uncovered that something like 67% of all New Yorkers would actually prefer to leave their barbershop having been the recipient of numerous razor burns and a 15 minute bukkake session (you can click that,...
