    Replying to @dieworkwear @DavidLaneDesign and 2 others
    Love your work Derek, but why always refer to @urban_comp as an electrician, when he's also director of a menswear mag, a photographer, and used to work in tech. Just feels a little disengenious, like he's just any ol' tradesman that happens to be into menswear.

    A few years ago I created a series on IG called Menswear Man vs Workwear Man. Many guys are afraid of being labeled a “poseur” but the fact is people are multi-faceted and can thus still dress authentically (I’m an #ibew electrician but also wear suits for meetings)

    It’s fall, which is the perfect time for a corduroy suit. It’s casual, doesn’t have to fit perfect, and looks better the more it gets worn in and beat up. Wear it with a casual button down, knit or madder tie, and loafers or chuckas (or Wallabees)

    Went to San Diego this weekend for a family dinner. Casual suit from @SPIERMACKAY in 11/12oz linen. If you like seasonal dressing, consider pairing linen with silk shantung ties (Drakes London is one of the last sources), cotton/inen pocket squares, & suede shoes.

    We live in a great era of fashion. Since no one wears a suit anymore, you can now choose any of the following aesthetics. Except the last one. Here’s why:

    My buddy is a hat maker in Altadena, and his shop burned down in the fire. I especially feel for him as a self-taught craftsperson caring for his family. If you want to donate, here is the family’s gofundme link: gofundme.com/f/help-the-wel…

    Pitti Uomo in Florence kicks off the men’s fashion weeks. Happy to report that silhouettes are getting wider and classic proportions are returning strongly.

    A new suit from J Mueser of NYC, made in Naples. Will have a thread about the shape later, but first let’s talk about how it’s worn & why you might want to do so 🧵
