Fabric swatches, coffee and magazines. The things that are certain to be looked at, consumed and spoken about every day in New York. Otherwise we've had some great meetings, done a couple exciting interviews and have been enjoying our time in New York this week overall. The weather has been chilly but it's been beautiful out. I don't think we've had one bad meal and each day has been better than the last. Here's a few snaps from around the city over the last few days.

Must have: Contrast Club Collar

I have an illness and the only cure is more oxford cloth - or something like that. I honestly can't get enough oxford shirts, however until recently it's been almost exclusively button down collars. My desires are now fixated on the white contrast club collars at Tres Bien. I don't think anybody makes this shirt better than Gitman and yet we still have to go to Sweden to find them. The club collar works well buttoned all the way up on its own, but I'm particularly fond of pairing it with a bow tie right now, and those soft stripes are just making that option more appealing. The shirts themselves are classic 2 ply oxford cloth which is nice and solid for the winter, but really do work year round. Both of these are soon to be added to my closet where they will be met by plaid and grey ties and casual sport coats. The look is definitely done best by the Trad community or those residing in the far east - both recommended influences for getting dressed.

Re-stocked | THE Red Oxford

The legendary red oxford shirt by Gitman Bros. for h(y)r collective is back in stock. It was a long time coming but after an untimely factory vacation and short supply of our custom red oxford cloth, we’ve finally had a few more shirts delivered. We’ve received numerous emails over the last few months regarding the shirts but we thought it was only fair to release them on a first come, first served basis. The 2 ply oxford cloth, locker loops, box pleats and sturdy made in the USA shirting is what we always expect from Gitman. With ours you also get side gussets and the custom red stitch and labels alongside the perfect shade of light red. The nice weight works all year round and will surely last you for many seasons to come. This will be the last batch of red Gitman for h(y)r collective shirts, so don’t hesitate as numbers are scarce. Available at The Shop, $150
