    The Boss is right- Sherwin is great.

    Fred—Make sure you get in touch with Sherwin (at Rugby) while you’re in NYC. That man is the very essence of what the brand is all about.

    Sometimes it’s as simple as a university stripe oxford cloth button down.

    James—The key to finding “soft and faded stripes” is to look for oxford cloth shirting.  Button down collar, locker loop and chest pocket are key.  You can pick up a university stripe oxford button down at the following prep staples in addition to a few new upstarts.

    • Polo (slim-custom fit)
    • Rugby
    • Brooks Brothers (extra slim fit)
    • Taylor Stitch
    • L.L. Bean

    Where can you get something with soft and faded stripes like this? I realize that a lot of the effect is due to the photography, but all the striped shirts I see are essentially dress shirts.

    Love love love Hayden Christensen. And that oxford.

    Just heard ‘White Lies’ for the first time while listening to Delta’s inflight entertainment on the flight home from SE Asia. Thoroughly enjoyed them and their other music recommendations.

    Your playlists are great. M83 and Empire of the Sun are 2009 MVPs. Metric is in the mix also.

    Most of the bands named above do rotate in my playlist as well…John Mayer is the man, as is Moby. All time fav´s are Death Cab and Franz Ferdinand. Rock n´roll as it has to be by The Fratellis.

    Good choice guys!

    I love the powder blue peeking through. Does anyone know what boots he has on, I’ve been looking for something similar.

    There’s a disheveled nonchalance about him…as if he slept in those clothes last night. Maybe he did.


    The Boss left a comment on 2/27/2010 at 10:10 AM:

    Absolutely perfect ensemble! This guy has great taste.

    I remember this pic too from the Rugby blog. Very cool love the color of his shirt and the shawl collar sweater. Who can go wrong with a Burberry trench as well.
