The Origin of the Tassel Moccasin
July 31, 2009 – 11:49 am
In 1948 Alden created the tassel moccasin.
It all began when Paul Lucas, the American character actor, asked a shoemaker in New York City to make a pair of tassel laced oxfords similar to the pair he had noticed on the Duke of Windsor. When the shoes were ready, he was pleased with the look, but [...]

Never button the bottom button of a vest. Why?
Just because.

Here’s to the Men
July 28, 2009 – 1:06 pm
Here’s to the men who haven’t confused “Dress for Success” with dress for recess, Friday, or any other day of the work week.

THREE GREAT THINGS ABOUT SUMMER
July 16, 2009 – 8:55 am
White bucks worn with shorts, jeans or khakis, no socks (and certainly not knee socks unless you are in Bermuda). A standard at David Wood. $125 the pair. No socks included.
Gin mixed with almost anything fizzy. Our choice, Tanqueray with club soda and a slice of lime.
The sound of children playing in and around water. [...]

STYLE TIP NO.3: SHORT SLEEVES
July 10, 2009 – 2:30 pm
When asked “do you have short sleeve dress shirts”, our response is “there is no such thing”.

‘IN THIS ECONOMY’: LESSONS FROM THE PAST…
July 7, 2009 – 4:53 pm
This is a Depression-era photo of a homeless man sleeping on a park bench.
Note the stylish 1 ¾” cuffs, smartly creased trousers, great hat, and solid leather shoes (and I think they are polished). It was a tight job market which sought serious men, not goofs in sweats and polos. There is a lesson here.

STYLE TIP NO. 2: THE WHITE SHIRT
July 2, 2009 – 7:09 am
The white shirt, crisp or crinkled.
In case you hadn’t thought of this: take one of your crisp white cotton dress shirts, take a deep breath, toss it in the washing machine and dryer. And here is the best part, wear it soft and wrinkled with a pair of jeans. A classic and very comfortable summer-casual [...]
