On Cashmere: Grades, Origins, and What Quality Looks Like
Most men own a cashmere garment. Few can, on inspection, tell whether the garment they own is good cashmere or merely cashmere. The fiber has been so democratized — by the mall brands, by the e-commerce labels, by the seasonal sale racks — that the word itself has lost most of its meaning. The original meaning is recoverable. It requires a small vocabulary and a willingness to handle the cloth long enough to read it.
The Double-Breasted Suit, Considered
The double-breasted suit has spent much of the last forty years out of fashion, then quietly back in it, then out again. Each of these movements obscures a more durable fact: the silhouette is its own grammar, and a man who understands its rules does not need to track its returns. The double-breasted is the most architecturally distinct cut in a man’s wardrobe — and, in its proper form, the most quietly authoritative.
The Black Suit: Considered Beyond Funerals

For decades, it was the suit a man owned for funerals — a single piece in the closet that came out only for sad occasions and was otherwise treated as too somber for ordinary wear. The recommendation in most menswear writing is to skip the black suit entirely and choose a charcoal or navy as the foundational dark suit.
