After a brief hiatus, the Menswear House Podcast returns this week with Episode Three.

This episode, Jake, Jeff, and Kyle argue what it means to be a classic American brand in the current retail market and whether or not we’re too driven by a nostalgic ideal. Brooks Brothers, JPress, Paul Stuart, and Kamakura are all in the mix as we examine what it is these companies can do to reach new markets while still staying true to their heritage as America’s leading classic brands.

We also call our listeners lazy for liking non-iron dress shirts. I mean, C’MON, just wear a wrinkled shirt you lazy MF’ers.

Seriously, stop wearing non-iron shirts, don’t they have Formaldehyde in them?

McQueen and Dunaway, 1968.

I hope to one day have a tuxedo made for myself and, when I do, it will be a one button, single breasted, peak lapel jacket with a scooped, roll lapel waistcoat, like McQueen’s.

I'm about to graduate high-school and go to college and I really want to upgrade my style from the urban teenager look to a grown, well groomed man typed look. Any suggestions on where to buy the clothing needed for the look at cheap prices?

Wed, 15 May 2013 09:29:00 -0400

Although I won’t spit the hyperboles that most do when answering this question and say, “clothes are the last thing that you should worry about in college”, I will say they aren’t nearly as important as you probably think they are at this juncture.

Don’t worry about brands. Here’s what you need. A solid pair of jeans. A solid pair of chinos. A few simple t shirts. A few simple button downs. A nice sweater or two. A suit and tie for formals. Depending on the weather, some type of jacket. A decent pair of knock around shoes. Superman underoos.

Most importantly, you need excitement. You’re about to start the greatest 4, maybe 5, years of your life.

God, I miss college.

“Having a “stylist” select your clothes is like having a girl give you a hand job. Sure, it seems like the right idea, and you’re putting your trust into someone you assume knows what they’re doing, but at the end of the day you (should) know you will always do a better job on your own.”

In Medias Res // Chris Callis, IV.

In Medias Res is a project in which I pay homage to the people who inspire my own sense of style with a work-week long, daily updated photo series.

Chris’ best kit. Rainy days with the ROTM stompers and a true blazer. The guy has some style.

Some of the finest hand sewn vamp stitching I’ve ever seen.

A hatchgrain chukka that’s lasted so well it barely loses it’s texture.

A seamless heel counter.

Riccardo Bestetti Bespoke Exotics.

Although many of his designs may not be to everyone’s taste, including my own, Mr. Bestetti’s craftmanship cannot be overstated. His willingness to experiment and discover with such a high level of execution is amazing.

Imagine cutting or trying to stitch through stingray skin - it would be like working with metal armour. Imagine the care needed to last iguana without distorting it. Or cutting and lasting extremely thin kid goat suede without it tearing.

His attention to detail demands appreciation.
