Last week in New York I had one item on my hit list and as a timely email came in from a thoughtful reader I was able to find my Newport at a much better price on sale. I really love the aesthetic of a double breasted jacket and I have been wanting to pair it up with a more casual pair of pants since my last LOOK post. The medium fit a bit more slim than expected but in a good way, so it worked nicely with a pair of fatigue pants, bow tie, oxford BD and our lovely Inventory Items Bucks - which are nearing sold out status. It was a tough decision between the navy serge wool and the grey tweed but I decided the grey would be best in terms of the other pieces I already had. It went straight to work as I finally had my nice mix of formal and very casual elements coming together or clashing, depending on your perspective. Either way, I'm happy about the jacket and I'll be wearing it regularly once my missing bag arrives back from New York.

did you hit up the steven alan annex?
^Indeed I did. We didn't have much time for shopping but I had heard the Steven Alan Annex had some goodies left, and they do. Worth a visit for sure.
Thanks Ben!

Glad it worked out. The Annex always seems to have a few key outerwear items left at the end of a season on sale. The other one to look out for in NYC is Barneys one day 40% which occurs much earlier in the season. Snagged my Wool Baker at about $250. Not too shabby at all.
Blumis in SOHO had the same Newport jacket in medium left over until this weekend. Someone snapped it before I could for 70% off! They still have some other stuff left ( some shirts, corduroys and jeans mainly).
