For the most part, when it comes to swimwear, we stay away from board shorts and stick with more traditional trunks. That said, from time to time we’ll break our own rule if something special comes along. This year, that something special for us is the Original 301 by Birdwell Beach Britches.
Things we like: seersucker, anchors, bowties, and Brooks Brothers. This week’s Bowtie Friday pick: The Seersucker and Anchor Print Reversible Bow from Brooks Brothers. As soon as we laid eyes on this one, we knew we had to have it.
When it comes to sports, we’ll watch pretty much anything. Well, anything but soccer. Try as we might, we just can’t get into it. That being said, it’s a foregone conclusion that when Team USA takes the field in a couple of weeks we will be glued to the action. To celebrate the pending arrival of the World Cup, the team at Streaker Sports just released a pair of shorts that pays homage to our favorite US team of all time, the 1994 squad.
Week in and week out, Ledbury never seems to disappoint with their short run options. Literally every week we find ourselves trying to figure out a way to rationalize adding yet another one of their great looking shirts to our collection. Part of last week’s releases, the Covington Plaid is going to be hard to resist.
Our quest to add some more color to our seersucker collection continues this week. Last week, our new addition was a pair of orange seersucker shorts, from Country Club Prep. This week we’re staying in the shorts category, but going to the other end of the spectrum. Gentlemen, take a look at The Spacklers from our friends at Chubbies.
The resurgence of the popover over the last few years has definitely added a nice dimension to our casual collection. Until now, all of our popovers have been long sleeve, but that’s about to change. See, on a recent visit to J. Crew we stumbled across their Short Sleeve Vintage Oxford Cloth Popovers.
