NY Times Critical Shopper Feature
Big thanks to Jon Caramanica and the New York Times for featuring us in this week’s Critical Shopper column.
Check out the article - it’s pretty awesome. And both Adele and I both looking forward to the day when Tom Wolfe’s assistant comes to pick up our white suede longwings. We absolutely had him in mind when we spec’d them out.

Gitman Vintage Blue Pinpoint Oxford Pintuck Formal Shirt: $165
We had to post this image in its full 500 pixel glory.
