The best Spring/Summer 2012 campaign I’ve seen so far, from Loro Piana.

Loro Piana does everything exceptionally well, apparently.

Apolis Global - Standard Issue Civilian Blazer

Here is Apolis doing what they do, making functional utilitarian clothing through correct facilities and taking action in that. I saw this blazer this morning in an email and immediately got up to take a closer look. This piece reminds me a lot of the Engineered Garments Baker jacket… simple, rugged, clean; a piece I would have no problem with wearing everyday on tour. My favorite feature is the 100% cotton twill with environmentally safe functional corozo buttons on the sleeves. They also offer the same jacket in khaki. This item ships March 30, ten days after the first day of Spring, perfect timing.

And its just under $250 US.

If I didn’t feel like I was full to bursting with navy blazers already, this would be at the top of my list

Potential outfit for tomorrow

We had a much-needed thunderstorm this evening in KC. Under normal circumstances, in any other year, it would have been a blizzard. Nevertheless, and despite knowing something is very, very wrong with the world, I’m going to capitalize on the opportunity offered by what is projected to be a muggy, warm day in the city tomorrow.

The operative word for tomorrow is breathable.

Jacket: Navy Brooks Brothers 1818 Fitzgerald 3/8 lined (very breathable)
Trousers: Ermenegildo Zegna lightweight wool in brown-to-olive (seems to depend on the lighting)
Shirt: Modern Tailor (nice, breathable grey w/ white stripe number)
Tie: Crunchy Brown Hermes knit
Square: Burgundy, green, yellow vintage score to have some fun with the earth-tone tie 
Shoes: Allen-Edmonds Westchester in the walnut-to-saddle color range
