Now, onto the recommendations:
La Botte Gardiane Terence Personalized Men's Zip Ankle Boot, $315
Did you see the new Ranch Boots by BRUT? The cow hair option sold out quickly, but you can get the same thing directly from the bootmaker (choose the Normandy Cow Hair leather option), custom-made and dispatched within 15 days for €300 (48% less than BRUT’s retail price). The black option that Lucas owns is quite nice as well.
Samurai S0150GNX Uguisu 17oz Denim Jeans, $380
I have a British denim battledress jacket from WW2 in this same shade of green that I’ve really grown to love. It’s as versatile as indigo denim, khaki chinos, or olive fatigues without directly connoting a specific era or theme of menswear.
Uncle Purl Silk Cotton Polo, $128
Uncle Purl is a relatively new brand out of Los Angeles that defies a lot of what LA fashion has become known for. Looking to a different side of vintage than trucker hats and cargo pants, their collection of knitwear is remarkably refined. Grant, the man behind Uncle Purl, has a long history working in knitwear, which reflects in the techniques and styles he’s developed so far. Knit from silk and cotton with a core of nylon (to ensure it doesn’t sag or stretch too much with wear), this 70s-inspired polo stood out to me as an improvement on the classic navy ones worn by such style icons as Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig’s James Bond.
