Spring Arrives with The North Face, Carhartt and Rothco

May 16, 2012

We sense the tide is turning here. Spring has been a late bloomer on the East coast. And even though the trees are fully sprung in green-leaf carpets, that temperature has been less than springlike. More like stuck in near-spring, on the winter side. Even the weatherman has been fibbing, telling us it would be [...]

Combining Dockers, The North Face and Carhartt

April 29, 2012

We talk a lot about good combinations. First things that come to mind are steak and potatoes, ice cream and chocolate sauce, Laurel and Hardy, movies and popcorn, kids and laughter, sand and toes. Or maybe: you picking a lottery ticket and you winning with that lottery ticket. When it comes to quality clothing, our [...]

Spring Your Wardrobe with Levi’s, Carhartt and The North Face

April 15, 2012

Well, we’re just about absolutely set with a full-on Spring season. The chill at night is giving way to comfortable breeze. The tree blossoms are carpeting the sidewalks, the leaves have returned and we haven’t seen an overcoat for a while now. Which means that, eventually, all that winter stuff will get rotated back under [...]

Slip into Spring in Carhartt, The North Face and Rothco

March 27, 2012

What is it with the weather? Here in Gotham, we were in shirtsleeves and had pretty much mothballed the wool coats. The trees were budding. Spring was in the air…and then suddenly the heat’s coming through the radiators, you can see your breath, and it’s cold again. We said, “Dude,” but the weather paid us [...]

Levi’s, Woolrich and The North Face for Your Mojo

March 18, 2012

We’ve long campaigned to keep you updated on all the imortant holidays, and here is yet another milestone: Tomorrow, of course, is Mojoday, the spring holiday celebrated by Discordianism, a religion begun by two people after they had some rather startling realizations at a bowling alley in 1959. But you already knew that. Mojoday, naturally, [...]

In Like Levi’s and Woolrich, Out Like The North Face

March 12, 2012

They tell us that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. This would have us believing that it’ll start stormy and end gently. But our Research Department has discovered some startling information. That we’d like to share with you. Lions sleep 16-20 hours a day. And most lambs are Type [...]

Countering the Post-Cyber Monday Blues

November 28, 2011

Did we shop these past few days? Was it pleasant? Was there any way to cut in front of that family of…12…with four shopping carts set up like a train derailment right in front of us? Was there a way to turn off that music? Did we skip the crowds and surf the net until [...]

November 22, 2011

In a month of special days—Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday included—we draw extra special attention to this terrific holiday: today is the Day of the Albanian Alphabet. That is, there’s a holiday on the calendar that celebrates an alphabet. You have 36 letters to celebrate, including one that sounds like “Shh.” Full disclosure: we [...]

The North Face and Canada Goose can help you Weather the Winter

October 29, 2011

We don’t want to seem ungrateful, what with humans on Earth being the only sustainable life we know, so far, in the universe. That said, ain’t it a bit early for the nor’easter that just dumped some snow on our Saturday, here and now in October, with winter still officially a couple months away? We [...]
