Double Monk Daddy
Alex Wilson, the student featured in The Style Blogger’s latest post, showcases some great pieces on sale at Lands’ End Canvas: the herringbone sportcoat, the windbreaker, and the 100% lambswool sweater.
He pretty much sold me on the latter, but I think I’ll hold out for a promo code.
Sounds like fun, and the invite encouraged us to “dress French.”
Not sure what that means.
Assuming I want to invest little to no money in this, should I try to reproduce my favorite look from AMI’s F/W lookbook, or just buy a red watch cap and call it a day?
Ideas, followers?
Sunday 1/29/12.
Get ready.

Use promo code SITESTAR112 for 25% off and free shipping.
There’s a 30% off promo code floating around out there, but this one wins out after you factor in the cost of shipping. I expect HSM has a fuller cut, so consider sizing down.
Edit: forgot to mention, patch pockets, double vents, functional cuffs, and looks fairly unstructured. It’s like poor man’s Boglioli, only with American heritage and Made in China.

Also picked up these Borrelli Luxury Vintage cotton/linen jeans.
I like how they have the rugged characteristics of denim, but in a cotton/linen blend that should be more comfortable in summer. Also like that the color is “dirtier” than the Loro Piana pants — I’d be less worried about getting road grime on these from biking to work. Figure they’d also go well with a casual navy blazer.
To be honest, I was a little worried that I was going to get a pair of jeggings, especially after seeing this picture of Signore Luigi Borrelli himself. But they actually fit like Levi 514s, albeit with a tapered cut. My only real complaint is that they’re on the cusp of being too over-branded for my tastes, so I’m contemplating returning them.
Other than that, not bad for $79.

your loro piana link links to the sart shot. Just a heads up
Fixed. Man, you guys are fast.
Already thinking about warmer weather, I picked up these Loro Piana five-pocket pants on Yoox.
Right now they’re just $79, and I kinda get the impression that’s a great price for Loro Piana.
I like the sandy color as an alternative to white denim, and they’d look great with a casual navy blazer, as in this infamous Sartorialist shot.
Unlike what that guy’s wearing, the Loro Piana pants won’t constrict your manhood. The rise is fairly high (comparable to Levi 501s, I think), and the cut through the legs was looser than I’d expect from an Italian brand.
