Die, Workwear! is a menswear blog devoted to the good life. Since starting this blog, I’ve had the honor of becoming a contributing writer at Put This On (www.putthison.com). I do most of my writing there, but Die, Workwear! remains active with things that don’t fit in well with Put This On.

The Swann Club

Once a year, men gather in Paris as members of the Swann Club, an invitation-only social club named in honor of the Proust hero who epitomized elegance and romanticism. Their annual nighttime soiree ...

Luciano Barbera and the Joys of Elegant Dressing

Much of the menswear blogosphere seems to be dominated by young men who like to wear tailored clothing like streetwear. Suits are paired with running shoes, unbuckled double monks are worn sockless, ...

A Few New Arrivals

Michael Drake once gave an elegant description of summer clothing that I really liked: “fawn colored linen suits with blue chambray shirts, raw silk neckwear, and woven straw hats.” That’s what...

The Dress Boot

If I could only wear one “style” of shoe exclusively, it would probably be boots. Unlined, suede chukkas in the spring and summer, so soft that they feel like slippers; jodhpurs in the fa...

Major Hoad

Like Doc Hu, my spirit animal is a curmudgeon, and my spirit animal’s spirt animal is an even more curmudgeonly curmudgeon. So while this post isn’t as editorially focused as I’d li...

Aspesi: Field Specialists

One of my favorite pick-ups last year was an M65-styled jacket by Aspesi. Aspesi is a high-end Italian casualwear brand that’s perhaps most known for their lightweight down-filled jackets. Some...

Archive of Shoes

David at Archive of shoes recently gave me the special opportunity to be interviewed. Thanks David! David has other interviews with people such as Ron Rider and Andrew Portnoy that you should check o...

Black Suede

Since coming back from Naples, I’ve been somewhat besotted with black suede shoes. I first noticed them on Antonio Panico. On the two occasions I saw him, he wore a deep navy, single breasted s...

Fawn Flannel

I really like this Apparel Arts illustration you see below, where a man is shown wearing a dark blue polo shirt, fawn colored trousers, and a pair of slip ons. Since finding it, I’ve been inspi...

Antonio Mannina

I always enjoy seeing Antonio Mannina pop up over at The Suitorial. Antonio is the son of Calogero Mannina, a master bespoke cordwainer, and now runs the family’s shoe business out of their sho...

Ambrosi, Napoli

At some point, tailoring becomes art. When I was in Naples, I had a chance to stop by Ambrosi’s atelier, which is located in the Spanish Quarter district of the city. If one thought finding tai...

StyleForum 10th Anniversary Party

I can’t imagine there are too many readers here that don’t also follow me at Put This On, but for the sake of telling everyone, I thought I’d also post something here about the Styl...

The Earthier Spring Palette

Camo has a spring-summer collection that I really like, not so much for the style, but for the colors. Most of it is in your earthier tones of brown, grey, and blue, but they’re a bit lighter i...

Thinking of Summer Suede

Yesterday, I was looking at Rose and Born’s new lookbook and got kind of inspired by some of the shoes featured (ignore the trendy hats, ridiculously short pants, and spring scarves for a momen...

The Other Supergas

I’ve been looking for a new pair of plimsolls for summer. Plimsoll, as you know, is the British term for shoes with a canvas upper and rubber sole. The first was invented in the 1830s and was d...

Asians in Barbours

My friend Cooper has been intermittently posting pictures of Asians in Barbours the last few months. Which reminded me - Barbour jackets are great. Their classics, the Bedale and Beaufort, can be wor...

First Look: Howard Younts New Line of Trousers

Howard Yount makes some of my favorite trousers. They simply fit better than almost anything else I’ve found. There are clean lines everywhere, both on the front and back, and they drape well f...

First Look: Isaia SS12

A friend of mine at Isaia, Agyesh, was kind enough to share with me the company’s latest spring-summer lookbook. Here we see very soft-shouldered jackets paired with slim, tapered trousers and ...

The Spring Shirt-Jacket

Many men find sport coats, even the most casual ones, to be too formal. One alternative is the shirt-jacket, which can’t be accused of being formal at all, but still gives a nice collar line to...

Drakes Grenadines

I used to have a couple of over-theorized opinions about grenadines. Grenadine, as you know, is a slightly textured silk that’s used for neckties. Most tiemakers get their silk from one of two ...

Antonio Panico: The Last of His Kind

One of my most memorable experiences in Naples was visiting Antonio Panico, a legendary tailor in Italy. I wrote about the visit in a two-part article for StyleForum. The first part went up today and...

La Vera Sartoria Neapoletana and Elegance

It often seems to me that elegance is all but dead. An associate of mine recently wanted advice on what tie he should wear to a wedding. I suggested a few, but he dismissed them as being too boring. ...

Cigar Linen

Thanks to my friend Cooper Frederickson’s suggestion, I think I’m going to have a cigar linen suit made for summer. Obviously not in time for this summer since I’m working with a traveling tailor, bu...

Life Archives: Summer

My mind has skipped spring and is well into summer. As such, I thought I’d pull up some photos from the Life Archives, mostly of summery scenes in Italy, but also couple from the States. You can use ...

The California Tuxedo

I don’t really do “reblogs,” but this post at A Suitable Wardrobe was inspirational enough that I felt like I should. I’ve been thinking a lot about summer, and Luca Cordero di Montezemolo here looks...

Franglais Style

Michael Drake, the co-founder of Drake’s, was recently quoted on Permanent Style as saying that he thought the French had a more chic, individual, and comfortable reinterpretation of English style th...

The Italian Boat Shoe

Brooks Brothers’ Friends and Family sale is coming up in about a month, so last week, I decided to poke around their webstore to see if there was anything worth buying. A few things caught my eye, bu...

Koji Suzuki: Cordwainer in Japan

Alan See from The Armoury has been posting some wonderful photographs lately of Spigola shoes. Spigola is a small Japanese operation based out of Nagata-ku, Kobe. It’s operated by Koji Suzuki, a tale...

Naples and Rome

In addition to my work at Put This On, I’ve recently had the honor of writing at A Suitable Wardrobe about Anna Matuozzo and Mimmo Siviglia, two custom shirtmakers in Naples and Rome respectively. Ma...
