A Patchwork Polka Dot Bedale For Paul Smith ~ Barbour & R. Newbold ~ Lincoln Center NYFW FW12

P2100230Kinda cool to see Barbour fucking with polka dots. In 1885, Robert Brewster Newbold opened a factory in Pear Tree Road, Derby, England. R.Newbold supplied workwear to the tradesmen, military and workforce of Great Britain.

How To Wear An Overshirt (A Shirt Over A Shirt)

Everywhere I go lately I see fellas wearing shirts over a shirt. In many cases the shirt on top (worn as a light weight jacket) is just as light if not lightwer in fabric! That makes no sense really. The over shirt should be a bit heavier. Maybe a chamois from LL Bean or a wool shirt from Woolrich (I saw Brooks Brothers at Pitti and thyre doing a plaid one for black fleece). Got to note how this guy wore braces. I like the sort of untucked tucked. It’s alot better than the half tuck you see everywhere. Classic. Not for everyone to try. The shirt on top has to fit as a regular shirt would> These days so many guys cant even button the top button of the shirt thyre wearing in general!
