Black shirts out, gray shirts in

Good to know.

Sid Mashburn belt buckle

I purchased this belt and buckle from Sid Mashburn.  Sid offers this belt in a couple shades of brown and black   Matt and Ian were super nice and sent me pictures of the various belts so I could choose which one I wanted.

Love this belt, but annoyingly it does not match up perfectly with my Allen Edmonds shoes.  I'm sure it matches with Sid's shoes.  It makes me wonder if Sid has a unique shade of light brown.  Maybe I'm being too picky anto matchy matchy.

Update: I'm planning on purchasing Sid Mashburn's silver belt buckle plus a dark brown leather belt.  With 20/20 hindsight, I should have chosen the dark brown belt.

Rugby fit



Fron modern dignified.

"With the huge success of J Crew, there have been a lot of classic American brands trying to rethink and redefine their look. While the brand's style is not as original as J Crew, they certainly are less expensive and provides an additional location to buy some of the classic American Prep pieces.  A perfect example of this is: Land's End Canvas, good clothes, great prices with a few pieces unique to the designer. "

"Rugby Shirt - this classic preppy item comes in either navy or light blue and is sold for only $45. I can be worn with jeans or khakis by itself or it can be thrown on over a button down shirt, as featured here. Thrown over a button down shirt, is my favorite look for a Rugby Shirt. It adds a little more style and character to the classic piece."
