Haberdash Authentics

07/09/10

Just like those days when you played ball with your buddies and they asked for a do-over, we’re somewhat back to where we started. As the fall season approaches (maybe a little too fast) we at Haberdash have a pulse on the latest in approachable, classic style for guys.

Every season seems to bring a little something new…color wise, fit, etc. We’re happy to report that you actually can relax because everything old is new again. All of your favorite old school brands from way back when are cool and current. They scream quality and timeless style. Think Gitman, Woolrich, Gant, Wolverine and Red Wing just to name a few. And, we’ll be re-introducing those tried and true brands in our store on an ongoing basis.

This trend has been easing its way onto the fashion scene for a bit. We love it so much that we’re making it a part of our model – singling out those great brands rich in tradition and known for timeless style. So, we’re proud to introduce you to Haberdash Authentics, a new outlet for us to present legacy brands that have reestablished themselves for the now.

Our launch line is a partnership with Gitman. Gitman is a time-honored, heritage brand, meaning its American born and well-crafted. Established in 1948, Gitman has specialized in shirts and neckwear and has since revived its brand paying tribute to its favorite vintage fabrics and methods. Haberdash is carrying an exclusive line of Gitman dress shirts designed just for us in addition to its sought after Gitman Blue line featuring great plaids in vibrant colors for fall.

To celebrate the creation of Haberdash Authentic, we’re offering all the new Gitman shirts both Gitman for Haberdash and Gitman Blue lines at a special price of $119.99 through the weekend.

So come check out new the offerings and take comfort in the old faithfuls.

BBQ Fashion Etiquette

07/01/10

Gearing up for a long holiday weekend…

Weather is cooperating, all is good. Should be a fun weekend of great food, great drinks, great hanging.

You’ve made your plans, assembled your entourage and you’re good to go. The last thing on your list, and certainly the last thing on your mind is what are you gonna throw on? Clearly we’re talking uber-casual clothing BUT you guys still need pull it together. Don’t look like a dork or dirt bag for that matter. Look over these quick tips and you’ll be perfectly well-done.

Be Comfortable But Be Put Together

Going casual isn’t an invitation to look like you just rolled out of bed. You owe it to yourself to put your best foot forward at all times. You can look cool and be comfortable, just requires a little thought.

Socks-N-Sandals

Don’t even think about it. If you’re cold – put on a closed toed shoe for god sakes. It’s simply a bad look and a big time fashion faux pas

Don’t Over Do the Label

Don’t play the name game and don’t be a walking advertisement for your favorite brand. Always want to err on the side of being understated. Wear an item because its’ got a rock solid design, great fit and you feel good in it. That’s it!

No Running Shoes if You Are Not Running

Not only does it signal that you’ve ‘given up’ when it come to fashion, but it’s gross.  Those sweaty shoes you’re wearing for your workouts should be just for that.  Cross-over is not okay here.  Luckily this season especially is ideal for casual shoes such as boat shoes and canvas sneakers.

That’ll do it – we’ve given you our two cents.  And, speaking of cents, we’re having a great sale to get you looking rockin’ for your favorite BBQ.  Happy 4th – enjoy the weekend.
