HIT: Brooks Brothers Fall 2010 Look

This shot is for the Fitzgerald 1818 Corduroy suit. I've owned that suit - in wool - and didn't love it. The cut was a bit fuller than I'd like. But I love this kit and I must admit that I'd never be bold enough to put it together myself.

The gingham shirt with tartan tie, the suede long-wings with the dark belt, and a white pocket square. Nothing "matches," and yet it makes for a great look. Also, to my eye, this is further evidence of the breadth and depth of J.Crew's influence.

Finally, how much does this guy look like the guy from HBO's Hung? Weird.

HIT: UniQlo Easy Care Oxford

Recently, UniQlo released their Fall/Winter 2010 look-book. Not surprisingly, they paired items in an edgy, fashion-forward way. Yawn.

While they're not doing anything new or exciting, I thought I'd take a second to mention a product of theirs I love - the Easy Care Oxford. As far as non-irons go, these can't be beat.

UniQlo's material and craftsmanship are not nearly as fine as everyone's favorite non-iron over at Brooks Brothers. But they fit well, are positively wrinkle free after a tumble in the dryer and, at $29.99, cost less than half as much. (I did that math in my head.)
