Fine and Dandy Shop – Fall 2009 Lookbook
Our good friends at the Fine and Dandy Shop just gave us a heads up on their new Fall 2009 Lookbook. The stylings are very inspirational for anyone looking to add a few new touches to their wardrobe this season. We especially love the fact that a hat or cap is involved in every look. Besides, what would a dandy gentleman be without his headwear to complete his attire. As always, the pieces that the folks at Fine and Dandy Shop are great in detail. Items such as felt caps, paisley bowties, striped pocket squares, and nickel cuff links are just some of the items you’ll find at the Fine and Dandy Shop. Check them all out now.

EDWARD by Odin and Duckie Brown
Retailer Odin New York and designers Duckie Brown have fused their distinct industry perspectives into a new 17-piece capsule line. Named EDWARD after important men in the team’s pasts, the collaborators envisioned a handsome new character, fleshing out the fictional Edward’s interests and personality into a distinct look brought to life through moleskin pea coats, waxed army jackets, and two buttoned herringbone blazers. Offering luxurious fabrics and quality manufacturing, the pricing has been made approachable. (Lucky us that pretend Edward isn’t loaded!)

Bleeker St. – Fall 2009 Campaign
Each successive lookbook we review this Fall seems to up the ante, and Bleeker St. for Fall 2009 is no exception. Dapper and uncompromising in execution of style, this lookbook could impress all from Broadway to the board room. Photographed by Arnaldo Anaya Lucca, Alex Loomans, Travis Davenport, and Terron Wood, Bleeker St. proves that there are thousands of possibilities within suiting that go largely unexplored.

The Style of Mad Men – Brooks Brothers
Ironic that a product inspired by a show about advertising didn’t need any ad-magic of its own to become a big seller. The $998 Don Draper inspired suit created by Mad Men wardrobe designer Janie Bryant for Brooks Brothers is already oversold. Since apparently the slick retro style that the series has helped to popularize is here to stay, plans for an expanded line of Mad-ish evening dresses, accessories, and additional suits is reportedly now in the works.

British Military Style Editorial
Men around the world have found numerous reasons over the centuries to set aside their fears and enlist in the military. Honor, patriotism, adventure. A new layout lensed by Tokumaru Junichiro titled British Military Style may very well inspire a new generation of UK kids to join the marching ranks solely for the sake of its fashions. The field-trench coats, zippered fatigue trousers, and red woolen general jackets rationed into the story make for some heroically handsome uniforms. It does make a lad wonder, would the front lines really be so brutal if you were dressed so fine and fierce?
