The double breasted blazer is one of those pieces that is quintessentially masculine. They are also one of those pieces that are extremely hard to find at a reasonable price, especially a slim version. I lucked out and got this J. Crew blazer for a STEAL and have been waiting for the weather to warm up so I can break it out in it's full glory.
It has been well documented on Twitter my interest in Dockers' new slim fitting chinos. Unfortunately in every store I have ever been in as well as online, the slimmest cut that is available in a 32x34 is the D2 straight fit... which is not particularly slim. These new slim fits have been featured in GQ, Esquire, and countless blogs but because they didn't come in my inseam I could not have an informed opinion. Considering most of the chinos are between $35 and $70, I really wanted to give them a test run. After months of waiting for my size to show up online, I finally got my shot.
We're back for the third installment of Dapper Tracks. Some of you may have missed vol. 2, it was a live show and my feeble attempts to record it didn't pan out. I might release some of the salvageable clips from vol. 2 at a later date, but for now enjoy vol. 3. In addition to music, I talk a bit about fashion v. style (why hasn't anyone talked about this topic yet?) as well as Odd Future. WARNING: There is an Odd Future track on this episode... so you might want to turn it down if you are listening at work.

When holidays roll around, people like to dress for them. Green on St. Patrick's Day; red, white, and blue on the 4th, you name a holiday and people will O.D. on colors associated with the occasion. For some, Valentines Day means all red everything and you know some guy in your office is going to wear one of those red shirts that came in a clear plastic box with a crappy tie (or worse go with the "Target floor manager look" red polo + khakis). Rather than making a statement with your shirt, try it with your pants and keep the rest more understated.
