What is your wardrobe staple for fall?
What is your wardrobe staple for fall?
Black watch sport coat in wool flannel. You can wear it with any color shirt but it looks best with a pink oxford button down from Brooks Brothers.
Advice on how to go from runway to reality?
Rotate at 75 knots in a Piper. I don't know how fast you have to be going in a Cessna.
The designer with the most wearable fall collection?
I'm a sample size in shoes so I'm sucking up to Mark McNairy for his alligator Weejun. I always thought alligator shoes on men screamed asshole -- The same guy who drives a Corvette and wears a fur coat -- But the Weejun style brings the 'Alpha Hotel' factor down.
What trends from spring/summer will carry over to this season?
Half linings in suits. I'm tired of sweating in fully lined suits when heat is everywhere. The subway is boiling. My apartment is boiling. The Ramen place on 57th and 6th Ave has to be the gateway to Hell. Besides, half linings make the inside of the jacket look better.
Your favorite on-line store?
Joe Druin Airborne Kit Shop -
The only place to buy Canadian Airborne stuff. Everything from blazer buttons to blazer badges to blazers. I never knew going through Canadian Jump School would provide me with such cool stuff that I'm actually authorized to wear. If Ralph Lauren ever found out about this place...Shit, I think he just did.
