Going Green With Dickies, Rothco and Carhartt

March 16, 2012

Okay. St Patrick’s Day. Tomorrow, March 17th. Like clockwork, every year. Gratuitous displays of green clothing. Drinking. Celebration. Parties. Good spirit. Or, as we like to think: just another weekend in Hoboken. Time was when we wore blue clothing on this day. Well, things change. And now we wear the green. There is green clothing [...]

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 [...]

Feel Like a Celebrity in Comfortable Streetwear

February 26, 2012

Television is our medium this weekend. Yesterday it was basketball, tonight the Academy Awards. We don’t have the (mental) bandwidth to engage in live blogging…and we’re really, really far away from the Red Carpet in Los Angeles. Still, Oscar night wouldn’t be complete without some hearty predictions. Someone will thank the troops. At least 12 [...]

Stellar Transitional Clothing

February 19, 2012

Tomorrow in history: In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit our planet. He did it in just under five hours—about how long it takes to get to the Jersey Shore on weekends in high season. The first thing John Glenn said after his spacecraft splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean and [...]

Dockers and Woolrich are Out of this World

February 17, 2012

Touchdown: it’s not just for football. On this day in 1996, NASA’s NEAR Shoemaker blasted off from earth and would become the first spacecraft to land on an asteroid. The asteroid was named 433 Eros, which is about as weird a sexy name for an asteroid as we’ve ever heard. What impressed us, though: essentially [...]

Men’s Valentines Day Fashion

February 14, 2012

This blog’s Romance Department wants to pass on its best wishes for a most happy Valentine’s Day. (Guys, if you missed it: whoops. You’ll be hearing all about that. And if you don’t hear about it…well, then you’ll have also heard all about it. And good luck with that.) We always like to provide fair [...]

You Can Take It With You

January 26, 2012

What’s with all that “You Can’t Take It With You” approach? We just don’t get it. You can always take it with you unless, like, the It in question is an elephant. You could theoretically take the elephant with you, but that would be more trouble than it’s worth. Then you have to worry about [...]

Your Own Private, Moveable Virgin Islands

January 16, 2012

Tomorrow in history: On January 17th, 1917, the United States bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark for $25 million. Adjusted for inflation, and factoring in some depreciation, not to mention some creative bookkeeping by this blog’s accounting department, that price is only just slightly higher than what you’ll pay for a quality garment from Dave’s [...]

Friday the 13th: The New Black

January 12, 2012

What’s up with our superstitions? We have walking under ladders and the whole black cat thing. And then there’s Friday the 13th. No superstition gives us greater pause than our Friday the 13th thingamabob. We’re here to dispel the spell we’ve cast on ourselves regarding this. Because Julia Louis-Dreyfus (you know, Elaine from “Seinfeld”) was [...]

Cotton: An Appreciation

December 28, 2011

As a public service, and because we wear so much of it in so many ways, we figured that an appreciation of cotton was in order. First of all, cotton is a plant; it grows as a shrub in the tropics and subtropics. Its fiber is harvested and spun into thread, and from that thread [...]
