A Guide on How to Keep Warm and Look Cute While Doing It
It’s winter, and although it hasn’t been a typical wet northwest winter, it has been chilly!
I’ve been trying my hardest to think warm thoughts but at some point I’m going to have to concede to the weather and cover my head and I want to look good doing it.
When that time comes, and I buckle down, I’m going to reach for the tried and true Coal Toque ($19 - $39). A staple I should have introduced long ago in to my wardrobe and one that I am looking forward to sporting no matter the weather!

Bombs Away!
Here’s my bottom line: everyone needs a good hat. It’s Portland, it’s cold, you have bad hair days, and it’s just a matter of finding the right hat (or five) for you. More often than not, hats do not work for me. In fact, it often seems like they go out of their way to make me look crazy and big-headed. It’s okay, me and hats have our fun. I recently picked up a little knit aviator cap (AKA pilot/bomber cap, or “the one like Amelia Earhart used to wear”) from the pedX sale loft that’s been treating me right (and there’s more!) Given the recent take off (pun intended) of the aviator/pilot/military trend, my lil cap has been getting a lot of love! Recently, we got some new goodies from Echo Design, and whaddya know? Included was their take on the bomber cap too!
And here’s a pic of my greasy mug in the aforementioned hat:
If my awesome face doesn’t convince you, here’s some photographic evidence of this awesome trend:
L to R: Prada FW 2011, OAK NYC Black Label, Jil Sander FW 2011.
Pretty fly, right?

It’s getting hat in here.
Fellas, let’s chat for a sec. Don’t think we haven’t noticed that you clean up real nice. The bar has been raised, and I for one couldn’t be happier with all the Dapper Dans flooding the streets these days. If you’re one of the few who haven’t yet developed an appreciation for the finer accessories, I suggest you start with something easy yet sophisticated: A fedora. They’re cool, look great on everyone, and are an easy way to pull an outfit together. Take a look below, get inspired, and you’ll be wearing man bags and fashion scarves before you know it (and before you object, let me just tell you that the ladies love a well-dressed man!)
