Where are you from? Texas

Where are you going?
Heading to the garment district to source fabric.

How do you define style?
Style is a boring thing done interesting. A different way of doing… A cat has style. I’ve seen men in jail with more style than most. Jesus had style, John the Baptist, Caesar. Not many have style and even fewer can keep it.

Describe your personal style.
Classic, American man, circa ‘62

What men’s fashion trends will stand the test of time?
Navy blazers, grey trousers, suede tasseled loafers, cashmere, chalk stripes, seersucker, Levis 501s, pocket squares, manners, the written word, letters (getting and giving) and a damn good tailor.

Men’s fashion trends you wish would disappear?
Logos

What are your must-have accessories?
A good watch, a white linen pocket square, a tie clip, a watch fob, a good bag, well-worn Levi’s that you bought new.

What style advice do you have for men?
Be present. Look around, explore, get local. Chose the difficult over the safe. Don’t give a damn what people think, but be aware there are consequences.

The Strap Ankle Boot

There’s an underlying elegance in leather strap footwear: monks for instance, be they single or double convey a characteristic poise enhanced by the belt-like fastening and metal buckles. As in so many other pieces, those small details make a whole lot of difference…

While looking for a more classic boot, reminiscent of the Chelsea and versatile enough to sport with jeans, chinos or slacks, I came across this version from Carlos Santos. Perfect height sitting at the ankle, beautiful shade of brown leather, Goodyear welted soles and featuring a strap fastening that instantly caught my eye. The sleek silhouette is balanced by the metal buckles and leather straps making them appropriate for dressing up or down according to your mood or preference. The perfect allrounder that was missing from my footwear collection, these will be on heavy rotation to achieve that perfect worn in effect.

Details: herringbone cotton jacket by Boglioli, MTO Thomas Mason Bespoke shirt, white jeans by Massimo Dutti, ankle boots by Carlos Santos, vintage silk pocket square and braided leather belt and watch by Daniel Wellington.
