"He slept that night in his own country and he had a dream wherein he saw God's pilgrims laboring upon a darkened verge in the last of the twilight of that day and they seemed to be returning from some deep enterprise that was not of war nor were they yet in flight but rather seemed coming from some labor to which perhaps these and all other things stood subjugate."
The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy

Drive costume designer Erin Benach: “The henley is quite an interesting piece. It was an awesome challenge. We probably tried on every henley that has ever been made by anybody anywhere, from Japan to Europe to the Americas. I seriously think we had 300! We liked elements of each one but we didn’t like the label on the collar or, the collar was too thin… In the end we wound up finding some deadstock Thirties army/navy henleys. My assistant found the first one, and the person we got them from said, ‘Oh yeah, I have 15 of them.’ I said, ‘What? You have 15 deadstock Thirties white henleys?’ [laughs] Interestingly, the T-shirt originated from soldiers wanting to wear a layer underneath their wool, just to take off their fighting jackets, their combat jackets, and then still have something on.” (via GQ Film)

I KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT THAT HENLEY. That henley should win Best Supporting Henley….’cause damn.

Also William Gibson would be all into this. That’s my token smart thing to say. Y’all have read Pattern Recognition, right? If not, get on that.

I am love love loving the Fair Isle sweater vests trend for men. (yes, I read the Boyfriend’s GQ. I got him the subscription, after all.)

“Many of Jacob’s suits were designed by Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. and Ilaria Urbinati, co-owner of L.A. boutique Confederacy. Inspired by a suede-accented jacket found at a flea market, the two asked tailor Martin Greenfield to craft the pieces.” (via)

GTFO.

Gentleman but ladies also, this is how you work with ties.

The Boyfriend yelped with laughter when he saw this and then demanded I reblog.

Everyone who follows me already knows about my menswear fetish, right? It’s got a history and rules and texture and simplicity that just fascinates me. When I am perhaps more affluent than I am now, I imagine I will just buy a lot of expensive clothing for the Boyfriend.

This is an immensely striking and iconic photograph, I feel.
