If Andy wasn’t planning on keeping this gear, we know some American heritage diehards who’d gladly take a few pieces…. especially those white bucks! “They were trendy when I was in college,” Rooney says of the shoes. “I don’t wear them … I just have them.”

Also of note, that tie Andy calls ugly — before foreshadowing its comeback — bears a striking resemblance to a textile pattern used by Engineered Garments this season.

Fashion, it goes without saying, is rarely at a lack for irony.

First, Beau’s uptown locale went bye-bye. Now, The Shophound reports that its West Broadway flagship haberdashery is following suit, meaning up to 75% off all remaining stock.

Despite their being two thoroughly different shopping experiences, note the sale’s proximity to the one going down at vintage shop What Goes Around Comes Around.

Wednesday through Sunday, 7/15-7/19, get to the Elie Tahari sample sale for 60-80% off samples and stock pieces. Be sure, however, to differentiate between Tahari’s wearable and more “creative” stuff.

We never thought we’d say this, but Club Monaco is one to watch this fall. As Josh Peskowitz over at Men.Style explains, the Canadian-born brand has a new menswear designer in Timothy Farah — a former Thom Browne protégé who’s bent on bringing tailored chic-ery to the masses, i.e., truly modern cuts, grosgrain taping, mother-of-pearl buttons, and working buttonholes at the cuff for under $500. Will the fabric reflect the low price-point? Of course. But our hats go off to Club Monaco — owned by Polo Ralph Lauren since ’99, by the way — for the effort here.
