polo shirts are awesome and should be a summertime wardrobe staple. no, i’m not going to list the reason why or compile a list of my favorites. (valet did that this morning and it’s impressive.) what i will tell you is that i’m feeling these tipped polo shirts like the one above. it’s a nice changeup when you want to give your magnum p.i. floral shirt a break (more on that at a later date).
i’ve caught the golf bug. i always get it around this time of year. it usually last for 3 or 4 months and then disappears when the weather gets cold. i’m not a great golfer, but i aspire to be. the first step to reaching that goal is to look like a golfer. with that said, here’s what i’m wearing and swinging this summer:
travis mathews golf shirt – these shirts are amazing. they are fitted and have a retro feel to them. if they’re good enough for bubba, they’re good enough for me.
ecco golf shoes – i used to think these looked ridiculous. not anymore. i couldn’t play without them. they are the most comfortable golf shoes on the market and i’ve pretty much tried them all. not even joking.
yeti rambler – it will keep your drink cool for days. days. did you hear that? days.
scotty cameron newport 2.5 putter – the very first “big” item i ever purchased with my own money was a scotty cameron putter. i now own 4 of them. i refuse to putt with anything else.
titleist pro v1 golf balls – the best golf balls on the market (in my opinion).
masters tour visor – i realize tour visors are super fratty, but i don’t care. they are essential to my golf game. no link provided, but you may be able to find one on ebay.
callaway big bertha alpha 815 driver – i must confess. i don’t own this driver, but i will before the end of the summer. i bought two callaway fairway woods last year and trust that this driver is the best on the market. i’ll keep you posted.
arsenal ball marker poker chips – you need something to mark your ball with, so why not show your support for the best football club on the planet.
scotty cameron belt buckle – you will never catch me in a white belt, but that doesn’t mean i’m not going to rock a dope belt buckle while i’m taking your $3 (nassau, bitches).
j. crew 9″ stanton shorts – 9″ is the perfect shorts length for the golf course. please no chubbies or stand up shorts. leave your balls in your bag (see what i did there? i am hilarious.)
i’m not a black friday shopping kind of dude, but i don’t mind saving money when i get the chance. one sale that you can’t miss today is at ledbury. all of their shirts are 35% off. that’s insane. i bought 3 this morning, because last year i tried to get in on this goodness and missed the boat on every shirt in my size. get over there now and stock up while you can. here’s one i copped:
that’s what i’m talkin’ ’bout.
gather ’round for i have news! (that’s a waiting for guffman reference if you’re hip like me.) ledbury will be in nashville this thursday and friday february 22nd & 23rd hosting a pop-up shop at the peter nappi studio. ledbury makes the greatest shirts on earth. period. if you didn’t catch them on msnbc’s morning joe a couple of weeks ago, you can do so here. i love the story behind the company. the guys from belle meade bourbon will also be there pouring some of their fine bourbon for you old enough to take a swig. please drop by if you can. the address is listed above. hope to see you there.
i first heard about ledbury from a friend that went to school with one of their founders. he talked about them so much that i finally asked if he had some stake in the company. he might have, but that’s not the reason he wanted me to buy one he told me. he kept talking about the quality and the fit and the collars. he said these guys know their s**t. they learned from one of the best shirt makers in europe. he was right. now ledbury is blowing up like crazy. you can find them on any men’s style blog or in any men’s magazine. they’ve added a couple of new shirts for the spring. here are some of my favorites:
the shirt shop. these are right up my alley and in my price range. this page – pulled from their new catalog – gives the shirts more life than the ones found on the website. if i had one piece of advice for l.l. bean signature, it would be to revamp their online store and make it more relaxed. the models look stiff and uncomfortable – which makes me hesitant to buy their shirts.
