@NickPollica Which current hats? I'm always looks for hats. I must be blind.
These hand embroidered ones are some of the best we’ve ever run and all these nylons are 👌

Spent all day relaxing in my green linen suit, and it’s easily the most relaxing piece of “tailoring” I own. It’s been styled very streetwear in a lot of pictures, but I’ve really enjoyed pairing it with loafers for a more sleazy 90’s Armani look. Really fantastic stuff.
What kind of shirts are you wearing with it?

Today I just wore it with the lichen Grahame, but I have a couple ideas.

I love this more CM styling of it by @ppk with jeans and an OCBD and I plan to rip it off with the appropriate color palette.

For maximum 95F weather sleazeball vibes, I was really thinking of just going on in on the trashy look and wearing it with nothing but a wifebeater underneath. That phase of summer is (hopefully) over by now, but I plan on fully taking advantage of it next year.

My girlfriend came up with the very interesting idea of wearing a traditional Chinese mandarin collar shirt with it, the sort that comes with hook buttons and whatnot. I'd normally be opposed to such a thing, but I think it's actually pretty brilliant in this case.

I also like the idea of making it more streetwear with chunky sneakers, but I haven't quite worked out what shirt I'd wear with it in that scenario. More to come in that regard, but I really love how readily this cut lends itself to both streetwear and CM outfits.

TAC cargos are amazing. Wearing them around the Canada today and pretty sure they make me at least 3.4x cooler than my usual, even counting the little bit where my daughter peeing on me. Any plans for other colors?

I seriously hope they’re part of the next drop, I’m so excited for them.

Love your ideas. I have a few nehru collar shirts and I might try those in lieu of the Mandarin collar.

When I think about clothes my mind just wanders back to the latest drop from 18 East. So manny individual great pieces as well as outfits / set ups.
Friday drop 🤤🤤🤤
What’s combination would you recommend for hiking in the SF Bay Area? Like Lands End trails or similar? I want to be warm enough not to get a chill, but not too hot in layers where I’m drenched afterwards. I’m thinking jacket tee and shorts or light weight pants. On that note, where’s the best place to see how clothes are styled together? Still IG? @NickPollica

When are you going. It’s normally pretty foggy and overcast out there during the summer but randomly there will be a hot spell. T shirt and light jacket are typically the move during the day.

I live there and looking for more ways to dress for the great outdoors 😇

Dress like the others in the city. Wear a vest like the finance bros or wear Patagonia or Cotopaxi jackets/windbreakers like the tech bros.

I just wear 18E double knees and a Uniform LA tee. Sometimes I'll add a light jacket if it's below 60.

If anyone has the reversible sling bag for sale, please let me know. My order was sadly cancelled as the warehouse team misplaced the stock and the studio is out of them. 🙏🏻

Hmm ok I'll think about the undershirt. I agree that ppk's take on it looks great.

I've worn a mandarin collar shirt with my 90s armani suit before.

Mine wasn't stiff and/or hook button though. Mine was soft and unstructured.

This photo is posed with the collar, but normally I'd have one more button done up. I can see myself wearing the same kind of shirt with this 18E suit.

Earthier, tonal colours in soft linens with nehru or mandarin collars.
