Unabashedly Prep

  • Kiel James Patrick Ties

    Style  

    Kiel James Patrick is growing up—one four-in-hand knot at a time. The guy known for peddling Turk’s head knot rope bracelets is now offering a collection of neckwear inspired by his love of the sea. Aptly named Maritime Repp, the pattern is a nautical twist on the traditional repp stripe. The sailing rope detail evokes an East coast sensibility suitable long after summer has left us. And in typical Kiel James Patrick fashion, the ties and bows are of course handcrafted in the U.S. from Italian-spun ribbed silk.

    Kiel James Patrick and me
    Newport, RI July 2011

    I have been throwing one on for parties, tennis matches, and cocktails for the past three weeks with many a compliment—but don’t just take my word for it. Patrick is giving one reader the chance to knot one up for themselves on his dime. Enter to win a Maritime Repp tie and bow and do a little growing up yourself.

    @AEV—Kiel was trying to cover up the polo horse and rider during the Brooks Brothers party.  Myself, well I was just wearing a nautical pin in a nautical town.  It’s sad that the lapel pin has been all but relegated to presidential candidates.

    Great picture, although Kiel looks like he’s scared of something!

    Noteworthy: Saint James tee, painter's khaki (with cuff), alligator watch strap, Tretorn Nylites. Nylites are the canvas sneaker the 80s prep-set grew up in. Introduced in 1967, the Swedish sneaker was regarded as the first luxury sport shoe. Today, its classic silhouette is still as relevant as it was 40 years ago.

    To Daniel FEC would never tell you this, but in a high school of about 1000 students, one year he won 1st and 2nd place in the annual art show.  “Jeans” from his grandpa who was a bronze sculptor and his great grandpa (circa 1880) who was a photographer in the early 1900’s.  It;s quite a treat to watch the development.

    Where’s a good place to find a nice pair of slim-fitting khakis?


    Glenn Elliott left a comment on 7/14/2011 at 1:14 PM:

    Great look Fred, especially that you created the pants.  Not a huge fan of off the shelf painters I was conflicted between Tretorns and Spring Court this Spring and went with the SC’s.  I thought I was satisfied but those Tretorn’s look good.

    Ah! my sweetie has “painter’s khakis” but they got that way by painting! your take is one part prep and one part Clash (as created by the delish Paul Simonon). FUN!!

    GLG left a comment on 7/13/2011 at 12:56 PM:

    @FEC Sounds great.  I think I might try a similar idea, but instead of painting the pants themselves, just wear them while painting for a while - I need some practice with oils anyways.


    F.E. Castleberry left a comment on 7/13/2011 at 12:51 PM:

    @GLG—Indeed they can. Oil paint doesn’t wash out. Turn pants inside out and wash in cold water. Hang dry.


    GLG left a comment on 7/13/2011 at 12:48 PM:

    This is a killer shot Fred - it lacks all of the boring conservative elements of prep fashion and replaces them with a right-brain creative zaniness.  Just one question though - can these pants survive the wash?

    Hi Josh,
    Yes I like the style and have done for years, and funny enough my daughter has it in her “jeans” too and has been working at Ralph Lauren recently.

    Great to see some classic European brands featured, both St James of France and Tretorn of Sweden. lovely.

    I have painted in Oils since art school and have an old pair of trousers shirt for painting in, I can’t say they’re in quite such an artful state though.

    Hi David (From England), I’m also from England, nice to see some English preps around.


    F.E. Castleberry left a comment on 7/13/2011 at 10:02 AM:

    @DAM—I wear them on the weekends with a polo, this Saint James tee, a blazer, an oxford…with whatever.  These are not for everyone…these are not safe if you dress to be invisible, unnoticeable, or seek to deflect attention from yourself.  Me, on the other hand, I like to make people look and then think about themselves.  This is an expression of who I am as a creative.  Not that it matters to me, but I get compliments in these…plenty.


    DAM left a comment on 7/13/2011 at 9:48 AM:

    I get the look and the idea of building a character for the sake of this shoot. And can appreciate the overall styling.

    But tell me, where and how would you wear this pants outside of this unique situation?


    F.E. Castleberry left a comment on 7/13/2011 at 8:27 AM:

    @GD—Purcells and Nylites are both certainly viable canvas sneaker options (both of which I wear) but I lace up my Nylites more often because they aren’t on American pop culture’s radar as much.


    AEV left a comment on 7/13/2011 at 8:13 AM:

    @Peter—The paint is oil.

    @David (from England)—I am a fashion creative with a heavy emphasis on photography and writing as of late. I live in an apartment in Dallas/Ft. Worth built in 1920.  It’s interior is a reflection not only of the content making up Unabashedly Prep but more importantly, my personal style.

    Hiya Fred, a couple of things I would like to ask if I may, As I am newish to your blog I don’t know what you do for a living but would be intersted to know and secondly as a great people watcher when I see people that dress well I often wonder where they live and what their houses/apartments look like have you ever posted any pictures of your home ? It would be fun to see what style you have. Thanks

    @Sleeve Length—Let’s be clear: J.Crew doesn’t have a version of the St. James tee, they simply stock them. That being said, it is long sleeved; although, the sleeve still falls shy of your wrist though…by design.


    Sleeve Length left a comment on 7/12/2011 at 11:15 PM:

    Is the J Crew version of the St. James tee 3/4th sleeve or full length sleeve?

    @Mr. Castleberry, thanks a lot and I agree love the Tretorns I have had a pair for a long time and they need replacing but they have lost that glaring white they started out, and I am not looking forward to wearing another pair in.

    FEC or anyone who owns one,  how is the fit on the Saint James tee?  I saw an earlier comment about the size but didn’t see a response.  Just trying to get an idea on what size to order, used to have one but don’t remember the sizing.

    I believe you may have started something. I’m bringing out my dusty fabric paints, unused since the early 90’s and taking to make khakis. I’m certain to be the only one in all of D.C. with this look. The “navy suits” will love me! Thank you!!

    Great photo.  I initially doubted the “prep-ness” of the painter’s khaki but I like the Warhol tie-in. 

    I may need to pick up a Saint James tee soon.


    F.E. Castleberry left a comment on 7/12/2011 at 12:21 PM:

    @AEV—Further explanation will be provided later in the week but in short, this is an aspirational look inspired by the likes of Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, and Pablo Picasso.  Pollock spent summers in East Hampton painting in a converted barn—this is what I imagined a pair of his chinos looking like at the end of a summer. The bandana, well, that’s to wipe the summer sweat from your forehead, of course.


    AEV left a comment on 7/12/2011 at 12:14 PM:

  • Jack Robie SS11

    Style  

    Dogs are everywhere.  Goldens, labs, English setters—gayly jockeying for position up and down the aisles of the upper deck, tails sideswiping every shin within a two feet radius.  Sure, the Hy-line smells like wet dog and whatever fast food the family in the corner brought on board; no one cares.  We'll be on ACK in less than fifteen minutes.

    I first met Jack Robie co-founders Brad Corona and Brian Nicholson last summer, when they had just launched the online shirt company out of a loft in Chinatown. At the time, the business was focused on dress shirts, but the small offering of colorful, washed sport shirts was the inadvertent topliner of the collection. Although they spared no expense on the fabrics, the fit left something to be desired. Fast-forward one year and much has changed. "We shifted the focus from dress to casual, which was the clear path almost immediately after we launched, moved to a local factory with better production, and re-worked the cut of our signature pattern," explains Corona.

    We’re at Nantucket's historic White Elephant for a couple of days to shoot the Jack Robie spring/summer campaign. The island is an ideal backdrop for the summer plaids, ginghams, and stripes prominent in the new collection. It’s heaven here. A couple models, a dog, a rack of shirts, a topless truck, scooters, and an evening at Black-Eyed Susan’s made for quite the weekend.

    “Based on the initial reaction to our new collection, which in some ways is a re-launch of the business, our customers appear to be very pleased.”

    Trust me.  I tried one on in the bathroom of Seersucker one rainy night over dinner with Corona.  I was in a bespoke shirt I recently had made...which is to say that shirt fits me perfectly.  When I buttoned up the Jack Robie prototype, the fit was nearly indistinguishable.  They nailed it.

  • Oak Street Bootmakers Beefroll Penny Loafer

    Top Drawer | Style  

    George Vlagos is meticulously running the pads of his fingers over tanned hides in cherry, black, tan, and navy.  Eyes closed, arms outstretched, the buttery soft surface is music to his hands.  It's Chromexcel®, or CXL as it’s written in the five story Horween® building. A combination tanned leather that undergoes 89 separate processes stretching over a month, the formula has been around for over a century and arguably produces some of the world’s best leather today. Vlagos takes the navy.

    Some fifteen years ago, in a Chicago cobbler shop, a pubescent George Vlagos sat under the skilled hands of his father during Christmas, spring, and summer breaks. It was an attempt to show his son that working with your hands was difficult. Vlagos’s father, a Greek immigrant, wished an education for his son. It backfired. Though he would go on to earn his masters, Vlagos gravitated back to the family craft after realizing how difficult finding quality shoes proved.

    “I wanted a shoe made in America, full grain leather, and at a reasonable price.”

    Designed and sourced in Chicago, Oak Street Bootmakers’s Chromexcel® navy beefroll penny loafer (along with the entire collection, for the record) is hand-sewn in Maine, where according to Vlagos is the only region in the country where you can track down craftsmen still capable of the craft. The loafers boast a stacked leather heel, welted construction (simply send them back to Oak Street for resoling), hand-stitched moccasin uppers, and carry just enough weight to intimate their craftsmanship.

    “Oak Street is about taking classic ideas, putting our twist on them, but really doing it right,” Vlagos conveys with conviction. This means working with only Horween® leather, hand selecting hides, and attentively crafting each pair for each customer. Not only does Vlagos design and oversee production, but he is on the other end of your emails, phone calls, and boxes up each pair of shoes himself. “It’s really important to offer incredible customer service, answer each customer’s questions, and fit them in the perfect shoe.” And for $270, perfection is a lot easier than it sounds.

    I own two pairs of Oak Street penny loafers - the brown ones and the double-soled navy pair from the fall. They run large, and they do stretch; if I were ordering again, I’d go down a full size (though your mileage may vary). Mine have turned out perfectly fine with some tongue and heel pads. The quality is impeccable, and the white stitching becomes far less vivid over time.

    Jeff left a comment on 6/14/2011 at 7:40 AM:

    Darian/ Eric - my experience with Oak Street is that they run just a touch on the large side.  On top of that, the leathers are so soft and supple that there is a little stretch after the break in period.  Maybe try 1/2 size down from your normal size (particularly if you’re going to be wearing the loafer sans socks).


    Darian left a comment on 6/14/2011 at 7:12 AM:

    Good looking shoe.  I have been wearing my Sebago navy penny loafer (w/ 1943 steel pennies) for a couple years, but they no longer make the navy.  These look almost identical, except that they look more high-end.  Anyone know about the sizing?

  • Local Knit

    Style  

    The older I get, the more seldom I pull on a T-shirt—and a graphic T-shirt at that. I only have a couple in the back of my wardrobe somewhere. But come the weekend, you’d be hard pressed to beat the comfort of one paired with beat-up khakis and canvas sneakers.

    Two summers ago, Peter Moore, a Long Island native accustomed to memorable Montauk summers in his youth, was in the market for an iconic local T-shirt. His search turned up pseudo-authentic graphic tees only alluding to fictitious Montauk establishments. Contrived, to say the least. That empty search gave birth to the idea behind Local Knit, graphic T-shirts featuring local mainstays in distinct towns across the country. Naturally, Moore started with the unapologetic fishing village of his childhood summers.

    From top to bottom: Lazybones, Herb's Market, Star Island Yacht Club, Montauk Bake Shoppe, Westlake Marina

    In any town, locals know best. Montauk is no exception. Weekend surfers mingle with commercial clammers to create an offbeat lifestyle largely responsible for its popularity amongst tourists. The ring-spun cotton tees* ($24 each) serve as a simple roadmap to the best dives. From Gosman’s Fish Market to Duryea’s Lobster Deck, these local outfits epitomize “authentic”. Customers help preserve the quirky character of the beloved town as a portion of every sale goes directly back to the featured business. That’s not even the best part—the shirts actually fit well. Next up as Local Knit makes its way inland? Amagansett and East Hampton.

    I’d like all of you to experience these tees for yourselves but five of you can do so on my dime. Visit LocalKnit.com and let me know in the comments which tee and size (they run true to size) you want. Winners (chosen randomly) will be announced on the Facebook page (“like” it so you’ll know if you won) Monday June 13th.

    Tough call, they all pack memories. Paulie’s Tackle Med.
    My grandfather built the beach bungalow on s. Lake Dr. In the early 40’s. I spent every summer working on beach feet and early morning fishing with dad anywhere from Gin Beach to the Point. I’ve got permanent Montauk salt air on the brain and now I’m on the west coast.
    I would love a tee - a small homage and reminder of a life i loved.

    GLG left a comment on 6/9/2011 at 6:44 PM:

    Great shirts - I would like a Duryea’s Lobster Deck size Small.  I’m not usually a big graphic T-shirt guy save a few authentic tees such as the semi-iconic Cape Pond Ice tee featured in “The Perfect Storm” but these are great.


    MLH left a comment on 6/9/2011 at 6:41 PM:

    Great T’s!  Lazy bones size L.


    Laguna Beach Fogey left a comment on 6/9/2011 at 6:29 PM:

    Interesting. Great concept.

    Authenticity. It’s such an SWPL theme!

    Are these t-shirts just East Coast-focused, with the death and decline it implies, or do they include the growing, vibrant West, Midwest, and South as well?
