Mea Cupla

So, remember that sale we told you about going down today through next Sunday with all those discounts on that endless list of top designers? … Compete bullshit. 

Turns out it’s a 127 Prince production (!), i.e., the space that once housed Phat Farm, but which has since devolved into a clearance barn brimming with exactly the type of shit guys should be banning from their closets. Horrid, horrid stuff.

Regrettably, however, we failed to make the connection upon writing our original post. And for that we’d like to offer our most sincere apology.

So, if the LeSportsac samle sale “blew hard” for the girls, then it sucked royal ass for the guys. One color was on offer: Ugly. And, frankly, we’d hesitate to lug this shit home even if they were giving it away. Pass.

Some of our favorite off-the-runway looks from New York Fashion Week courtesy of The Sartorialist. Nothing too exceptional, really; nothing too put together — not like Milan, anyway, and it was stifling hot during those shows. No worries. Effortlessness is a staple of American menswear. Oh, and if you haven’t already, consider adding a double-breasted jacket to your wardrobe. Particularly worn as a separate — and FITTED — it’s the sharpest look we can imagine at the moment.
