Regardless of how great, or how terrible, our favorite team’s record may be, you’ll see us frequently sporting their colors and showing our allegiance. That being said, we aren’t big on wearing huge logos and tend to prefer a more low key approach. Luckily for us, State Traditions has an entire lineup of low key options, and one piece that will soon be added to our fan gear collection is their gameday belt.

In our opinion, this whole “get an extra hour of sleep” deal is completely overrated. Yes, we understand that there is a reason for daylight savings time, but the fact that it is already dark before we can even think about leaving the office bums us out every year. To mark the occasion this year, we’re adding some more black to our sport shirt collection, this time our pick is the Black Parker Gingham by Ledbury.

The teams may be battered, and the rankings may not be as high as they were earlier this year, but the Georgia / Florida rivalry remains as fierce as ever. As one of us is a UGA grad, and the other a UF fan, we’re going to mortal enemies for a few hours this weekend. That said being said, one thing we can agree on is that the new University Polos from Fishtail look fantastic, and we’re happy to be giving one away to the person who comes closest to picking the winning team and score of the GA/FL game.

For many, today marks the first of thirty days without shaving. Try as we might, we just can’t pull off a mustache, so we’ll be sitting this one out and supporting our friends from the sidelines. That said, we have to get in on the fun at least a little bit, so we’ll be sporting mustaches in the form of the Mustache Bow from Buffalo Jackson. To celebrate Movember, we’re also giving one away!

Though they’ve somehow crept into just about every facet of fashion over the last few years, we’ve never gotten on the skulls and crossbones bandwagon. That said, if we were going to break them out, today would be the day. Our Halloween picks this year are the Jolly Roger options from Smathers & Branson.

There’s just something about tying up a pair of wingtips that makes us smile. Whether they are all black with a suit, or something a bit lighter with some contrasting laces and dark denim, we tend to walk a little taller whenever we have them on. Recently, we came across what will probably be the next addition to our wingtip collection, the Blake by Rancourt & Company.

Even though most of our go to hell pants have been retired for winter, we’ll still be wearing some color below the belt over the next few months. While boldly colored chinos may not seem to work in cooler temperatures, cords with some color are always a good pick. This year, we’ll be adding a pair or two of Alpha Collection Cords from Dockers to the collection.

Since 1902 J. Press has been making staple pieces that have become the cornerstones of many a prep wardrobe. One of those pieces is their famous Shaggy Dog sweater. Unfortunately for some, the cut of the Shaggy Dog is pretty generous. If you’ve been hoping that a slimmer option would come to market, your prayers have been answered in the form of the York Street Shaggy Dog.

Plain and simple, you need a great hoodie. It’s been a year since we featured the Full Zip version from American Giant, and we are yet to find anything that can even come close to it in terms of quality. The feature below originally ran on October 6, 2012.

Around here the temperatures have finally gotten low enough that we’ve had to officially retire the last remnants of our warm weather wardrobe, cotton bowties. Sure, we’ll break a few out on occasion in the colder months, but for the most part it’ll be silk and wool around our necks for the foreseeable future. Luckily, there are some fantastic heavy options out there right now. One of our favorites as of late is the Cardinal Melange Herringbone Bow by General Knot & Co.
