Finding the perfect white button down is no easy task (unless you happen to be walking by the Jil Sander store), but bicycle clothier Outlier has dropped the Pivot shirt, perfect if not essential for the daily commuter. Hell, it’s perfect for anyone just for the fact that it’s as flexible and versatile as they come. The shining point of the shirt has to be the mobility of the pivot sleeve and the shirt’s long lean fit, designed to keep backs covered while leaning forward on a bike. Another convenient feature, the double-flap pocket keeps items securely in place.
The Pivot Shirt is made at Gambert Shirt Corp’s New Jersey factory and is now available in white, light blue and lavender. If you’re a cyclist, then this shirt is definitely for you and if you’re not, we still suggest you pick one up.
From American-label Filson comes these goatskin gloves lined with merino wool. Goatskin’s known for its durability and with all these crazy weather we’re being hit with, these gloves are sure to get you through it no matter what you’re doing.

Matthew Schneier of GQ stopped in at Grahame Fowler’s new shop in the West Village recently and boy was it a worthwhile visit. Of the designer most have probably never heard of, here’s what Matt had to say:
Fowler’s been in the industry for years, mostly working for and consulting with names that are familiar, from high-fashion (Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, and Yves Saint Laurent) to everyday-cool (J.Crew). His clothes—all made here in N.Y.C.—bring together an American sportswear aesthetic with just the right amount of British military influence. He stocks some great vintage pieces, including old Barbour jackets and the like, but it’s his own limited-run, super-detailed goods that really caught my eye.
From reading further, we learned a great deal about Grahame’s attention to detail and we encourage you to check out the article as well. Oh, and look for Grahame Fowler’s next venture—a men’s store/bike-garage—in Williamsburg to be just as appealing.

Alter gives us a preview of the Barker shoe from Jeffrey Campbell in a gold finish. We’ll agree the color’s a bit out there but match it with the right pair of jeans and shirt and you’ve really landed one heck of an item. Just in case that doesn’t sell you, we’re sure JC’s comfortable fitting will. This four eyelet, oxford style shoe will be on hand in the Metallic Gold Leather finish come Thursday at Alter’s Jeffrey Campbell event. The Barker will go for an inviting price of $135.

Blackbird has just taken stock of the High Work Shoe from Alden. Think Full grain Waxhide leather top with a special oil resistant Neo-Cork sole, contrast-stitched upper, tempered steel shank for support, and storm welt protection for rough weather. A bit of history – it was originally called the High Work Shoe in the late 30s, but has been known as the Indy Boot ever since Harrison Ford wore it in the Indiana Jones movies. Rugged, comfortable, and built to last, these boots will serve you well for years to come.
