The Armoury Sample Sale in New York CityThe Armoury has become a destination shop in NYC for classic men’s tailoring, but they don’t hold seasonal sales. Every store, however, eventually builds up an inventory of things that didn’t sell from previous seasons. So, once in a blue moon, The Armoury holds sample sales to clear out deadstock.The next sample sale is happening next week at 28 West 38th Street in NYC. The sale will include stuff from The Armoury, naturally, as well as their associated labels – Ring Jacket, Drake’s, and Drop 93. Again, things will be discounted up to 70%. And you’ll want to bring a credit card, as purchase can only be made with credit cards at the event. Dates and times:Thursday, May

Unionmade is a great shop for workwear, heritage brands, and hard-to-find Japanese imports. They carry everything from Levi’s to Kapital, but the clothes come together in a way that can be roughly described as a classic, casual West Coast aesthetic. There are slim-straight jeans for guys who normally wear sport coats, as well as a huge selection of casualwear drawing militaria, workwear, and neo-retro outdoor gear. From now until Monday, they’re also having an early spring sale. Take 25% off all orders with the checkout code -25FINALSALE (be sure to include the minus sign, which is easy to miss if you copy-and-paste). As the code suggests, all purchases made with the code are final sale, so be sure to check measurements. The code does stack, however,

David Seth Moltz was in Scotland a few years ago, gathering references for his new scent Tomb of Eagles. He’s a self-taught, Brooklyn-based perfumer interested in photorealistic scent representations, which can transport the sniffer to real or imagined places – a bowmaker’s shop in the Pioneer Valley, a burned-down barbershop in Westlake, N.Y. in 1891. Or, in this case, a Neolithic grave site located on a cliff’s edge of Orkney, one Scotland’s more remote and waterlogged archipelagos. Travel writer Katherine LaGrave accompanied David for a story in Conde Nast Traveler: Following Moltz in the wild is to step into a real-life scratch-and-sniff game. At stone-built Skara Brae, a cluster of eight Neolithic houses older than both Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids, he kneels in the grass above

Looking back, it’s almost comical how men used to buy footwear. Ten years ago, if you wanted a pair of well-made shoes and couldn’t afford any of the better-known brands, you had three options. Scour eBay for something gently used; try one of the lesser-known labels from an overseas shop (and pray they fit); or call Allen Edmonds’ store in Wisconsin for discounted factory seconds (an industry term for shoes that didn’t pass quality controls). Back then, getting a pair of shoes fell into the old engineering line, “good, fast, cheap … pick two.” Whatever you’d save in money, you’d spend in time. Today, the entry-level side of the market has exploded. It’s not terribly hard to get a pair of well-made shoes now for less than

Classic men’s style can be a strange topic at times. While mainstream fashion publications are obsessed with who’s wearing what, this corner of the world is often just interested in clothes. Nothing about the musicians or actors that make a look compelling – celebrity itself is shunned. When culture or history comes up, it’s still often about the clothes themselves. Like how Queen Victoria once visited the HMS Blazer, a frigate in the British Navy, and the ship’s captain dressed the crew in dark blue double-breasted jackets. To make them look a bit smarter, he had the jackets decorated with bright brass buttons. Hence how we get the term blazer. Which is why Jason Jules is such a rare figure. Although he’s clothes mad like the rest of us,
