On Dress Shoes: Oxford, Derby, Loafer, and Double Monk
A suit ends at the ankle, and what is worn below it matters as much as anything above. The dress-shoe vocabulary is small — four forms do almost all the work of the serious wardrobe — but the small vocabulary is precise. Each of the four belongs to a particular kind of dressing, and each is wrong in the contexts the others were built for.
The Overcoat: Chesterfield, Polo, Crombie, and the Long Lineage
An overcoat is the most public garment in a man’s wardrobe. It is worn on the street, into the lobby, across the carpet at every winter event from November to March, and it announces the wearer’s taste before any other piece of clothing he owns. It is also, in the modern wardrobe, the most under-considered. Most men own one overcoat, bought at random, worn until it falls apart, and replaced with another one bought at random. The right overcoat is one of the most consequential purchases a man makes.
On the Lining: Half-Lined, Quarter-Lined, and the Question of Bemberg
The lining of a jacket is the part of the garment the wearer sees most and the buyer thinks about least. It is what touches the shirt, what slides over the shoulders when the jacket goes on, what carries the colour that flashes when the wearer moves. It is also a meaningful structural component of the coat. The choice between full, half, and quarter lining, and the choice between Bemberg, silk, and other fibers, are the choices that determine how a jacket wears across seasons and how long it lasts.
