Cool Hunting
The classic white button-down is a staple and possibly the closest thing we have to an official CH uniform. For the modern man, it just might be the most important and versatile garment in their closet. But with all the variety out there, choosing the right one is harder than it seems. The best I've seen this season is the Head Porter Plus White Dress Shirt.
What makes Head Porter Plus' version different (and the perfect summer shirt) are hidden mesh inserts at the upper back and underarms providing extra ventilation in hopes of avoiding sweat and stains. Made of 100% cotton, the Head Porter Plus logo is uniquely placed on the side of the shirt and the buttons are genuine pearl exclusively.
Not a brand to be swayed by the current trends, the Head Porter collar is neither fat nor thin and lies at a traditional angle making for a rather timeless cut. Taking into account the label's high standard of craftsmanship and design, this is a white dress shirt that could last you a very long time.
Purchase it at the refreshed online shop, The Glade, for €149.

Making a departure from their slim raw denim (with the label that famously advises against washing except in the ocean), A.P.C is expanding their line by releasing a distressed variety named the Butler Worn Out Series. Unlike the whiskered and bedazzled versions of other brands, the Butler stays true to its clever name. Rather than using sandpaper or washing techniques, a real human being...
Named for a famous square in Philadelphia, the Australian brand Rittenhouse often grabs my attention as I fumble through racks at local shops. The label is the work of designer Sally McDonald and graphic artist Micah Handorf, both of who worked for PAM and Stussy—the aesthetic bent is evident in the Rittenhouse designs. Using quality fabrics and subtle details (that still pack a punch),...
Founded in 1830 and one of the OGs in American outerwear, Woolrich recently released more modern, urban friendly designs with Woolrich Woolen Mills Spring/Summer 2008 collection. Since 2006 design director Daiki Suzuzki has been working to update the aesthetic and direction for what previously was often seen as a dated brand. The new line incorporates high quality materials and an excessive attention to detail...
Gorman has become one of Australia's most respected labels, not only for their sharp styling pieces that miss the fad boat staying stylish season after season, but also for their stand for eco-friendly and sustainable fashion. Recently launching their new organics collection, Gorman's winning even more green hearts with their vow to become a carbon neutral company within the next two years. This month...
Only a little more than six months old, Brecho Luxo is causing somewhat of a sensation with the fashion cult here in São Paulo. Founded by Paula Reboredo and Gil Franca, who run the São Paulo street fashion blog Freakstyle with journalist Maira Goldschmidt (that we told you about last year), opened the vintage store with a fabulously edited selection of clothes and accessories...
We were among the excited first today to check out A.P.C.'s latest store (and the second of their outlets worldwide) today in Brooklyn. Called A.P.C. Surplus for its flat 60% discounted prices, the Williamsburg storefront is housed in a beautiful former bank with plenty of rustic charm (i.e. it looks as if it recently caught fire). At only 600 square feet, the space feels...
