The Review | Graham Withers Neckwear

The Review | Graham Withers Neckwear

We recently got a special delivery from New York-based Graham Withers, a fairly young tie company started back in 2007. The duo behind the brand, Paul Hanan and Dave Roma, started out in their Brooklyn apartment designing t-shirts and as their style evolved, so has their lineup. The production is handled by a seasoned veteran with over 40 years of experience in the business. Their fall collection consists of neckties as well as bowties, all of which are looking tremendous. We checked out the Montagne up close, and we have to say, the versatility is much-welcomed.

Graham Withers delivers great products and the price points are quite reasonable. That coupled with the high-quality craftsmanship and fabric choices really makes the brand worth checking out. Seriously.

Closer Look | Stetson Hats by Billy Reid

Stetson Hats by Billy Reid [Fall 2010]

For the past 130 plus years, the John B. Stetson company has been crafting high-quality, extremely functional hats. The longevity of the brand is a testament to the iconic brand’s dedication to detail and consistent design ethos. For the fall, they’ve linked up with Billy Reid for eleven hats for men, women and some for both.

The collection ranges from dead stock wool fedoras, nutria constructed trapper toboggans, to English driving caps with leather tie secured convertible ear flaps. Our favorite is the Conway, a waxed cotton fishing cap with a distressed leather live cut raw edge bill. It’s lined with heirloom pillow ticking and the interior drop-down convertible ear flap is lined in wool tweed jacquard for added warmth.

The collection is available now at Billy Reid.
