Tic Toc

Kanye just called in from Paris, and he asked us to remind you that, while there are some very cool sales comin’ in February, markdowns at the larger retailers wind down this month. “Tell ’em what they need to know!” said Kanye. As always, you’ve got the ‘Sales’ list on the left to refer to. Oh, and Kanye also wanted us to tell you to be more like him. Get started at Calvin Klein where wool suits are down from $1,295 to $518 through February 1.

Touché

Of the 9 less than earth-shattering guidelines in Esquire’s new “Style Manifesto,” we’re loving Number 3: “Something on your person should always make a statement, and that statement should preferably be ‘Go to hell.'” Yes! We love it! “Say it with socks, with a tie, or with a great pair of pants, and say it often.” But do it intelligently, we must add, and do it with style. We’re not alluding to clown paraphernalia here. 

Choosy Beggars

Hustling down Varick Street on Friday, we caught Hunter here taking a smoke break on that particularly mild winter day. What caught our eye — and what we hope this image captures — is his effortlessly smooth style and refined-yet-whimsical proportioning. But, apart from his blue YSL pocket square, what we found most intriguing about Hunter’s clothes were their humble origins. The jacket? “Club Monaco, and ten years old.” But it fits! The shoes (which from one angle we actually mistook for Common Projects laceless oxfords)? “Aldo. Yeah, I know, Aldo.” And, the hat? Nice Collective, and stolen from a friend the night before.

Winter-Spring Collection

Nolita boutique INVEN.TORY — which carries current collections at wholesale prices — recently got a new shipment of goods. We stopped by this weekend and liked what we saw. Looking ahead to slightly warmer weather, we were all over two lighter jackets — the above grey wool quasi-varsity from Orthodox for $14o, and the below green fine-cord 3/4-length from Corpus for $100.
