A Sartorial List
Step into my closet with this curated list of men's fashion items that I swear by. There are a few timeless pieces and suiting included, but this list mostly highlights casual contemporary and vintage essentials that define my wardrobe and personal s...
Shoes
One of my favorite New Balance sneakers. Originally released in 1993 with a vintage inspired tag on the tongue instead of the embroidered “998”. These are a part of the Made in USA line so these do come with a higher price tag around $210 but it also...
NY Mag called these “the only passable Croc. The Dylan Clog is a little mature (you can't decorate it with charms).” I have a pair in black. They're comfy and simple.
Handmade, well constructed, with a soft comfy sole. Great Doc Marten's alternative.
One of the best Nike SB collabs ever in my opinion. Made with high quality canvas material that makes them far less rigid than normal blazers. Love the simple, refined details of this HUF design.
Always been a staple for me.
A minimalist do everything shoe designed in collaboration with Tom Sachs. I think it's really cool how these are designed to be worn hard and repaired more like a boot than a sneaker.
Headwear
Lightweight, breathable, meant for running but great for hot summer days.
I have a few of these hats and really like the shape and quality. Good stuff.
One of my favorite hats. Comfy and lightweight. Clean design.
They have cool hats every season. Especially fond of the Mets ones.
Not always the most extremely consistent in size and shape but for the most part these are my go-to beanies every fall/winter.
I have so many different Mets hats both vintage and new. Could not live without them.
Accessories
I got one of these on sale for like $45. Very hard to break in but once you do it's perfect.
I'm a wired EarPods guy.
Vintage style hardware. Simple. Perfect belt.
Simple totes. You can find a lot of vintage A.P.C bags for good price if you hunt for them.
I'm not a big watch person at all. This is only the second or third one I own. But it's a very beautiful watch that will last forever.
I've put some serious miles on this bag and it's still in great shape.
You can usually find these for only $60-80 which is insane for how they look, feel, and function.
Great design. They have something for all face shapes and sizes.
Love Thom Browne's clean mid-century uniform inspired asthetic.
Outerwear
Part of The 100 Programme, a collection of only 100 pieces for each design, no restocks.
These jackets are super durable.
Stay dry in this very well made Sweedish raincoat.
I should've bought more of these.
Loose fitting light layer. Not sure if they make the light moss color anymore but I love mine.
Slightly oversized. More unstructured than most barn coats, which I like. Super well made.
Their sizes/fit seem to change slightly season to season so watch out for that, but otherwise this thing feels like it will last a super long time and looks amazing.
Suiting
This is probably the best affordable suit you can buy. They come in several of different colors and materials. Easy to tailor. And they look super nice.
Cherish everything I own by Shipley & Halmos.
Love my Paul Smith suit.
No fashion brand that I've mourned the loss of more than this one. It was perfect. I am SO lucky to own one of their suits and shirts from the early days. I will never let it go.
RIP Barney's. Glad I got a suit from them and some amazing CO-OP oxford shoes. This label was always so reliable for quality and fit. And the in house tailoring was so nice. Crazy to think there's not really a go-to retail location any more.
Gotta have a white pocket square.
Vintage
Unique vintage and curated goods from New York City. They have a store in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and they do drops online almost every Friday. Check em out.
Ok this place is $$$$ and will not find thrifted prices here. But every now and then I find something one-of-a-kind in here I can't live without and it's always worth it.
Gender-less sustainable up-cycled second hand pieces made by some really cool people.
Thrift heaven in Los Angeles.
I've never walked out of here empty handed. Always find something really cool.
Some of the best thrift finds I've ever scored are from this exact location. Their inventory turns over every 30 days, so keep checking, always new stuff.
Sweatshirts
One of my favorite simple crewnecks.
Affordable basics. Really like these crewneck sweatshirts.
You can find lots of vintage versions of this online or in vintage shops, or the new ones they make are nice quality too.
The only acceptable stolen valor. I collect vintage college crewnecks that are simple, typographic, 1-2 color designs.
These are simple and very nice crewnecks.
Vintage blanks are also a staple for me. You can find some suuuuper cheap like $2-5 each sometimes.
Sweaters
Well made and slightly oversized.
Extremely soft. True to size.
Really quality basic pullover sweater.
So soft and so durable. I've had one version of this Theory sweater for almost 15 years.
If you find an A.P.C. surplus store you can get these for around 50-70% off normal retail price. There's one in West Village.
Cool weather staple.
T-Shirts
Surprisingly good pocket tee.
Not the best quality basics, but these remain a staple for me.
These are surprisingly soft and comfy. They're not super thick, more lightweight and thin.
Socks
Solid socks. A bit taller and thicker than you'd expect. I often wear these in winter or cooler months.
If you ever want a pair of colorful socks. I really like their bright red ones.
My everyday socks.
