A Distinctive Taste

All Tweed Everything.

Not really. I thought it appropriate that I finish this tweed day off with a WIWT. Also I wanted to update you all on where I am right now with some of the things that I have hinted at for the past few months.

The Branding Agency- We have our first client project. A tie company. You will know it when you see it. Crafting a collaboration project specifically for the ADT followers, plus a lot of cool things that I feel will be organic. I wouldn’t push it if I wouldn’t wear it. Real talk.

Trunk Show - We have 2 of the 3 brands we need to make this work. The Gibson has agreed to let us host it. We are shooting for the end of November. Dates and brands will be supplied

The Gibson Meetups - Next Friday is the first Friday of the month, but being that half of us will be in NYC we will be moving it to the following friday. The cool thing is that we keep having more people, so we may have to move it to Thursday because the private rooms at the Gibson can only be reserved for 2 hours on Friday and the weekends. I will put the word out before hand for anyone who wants to attend.

Last but definitely not least the app. I haven’t spoken too much about it, and the only thing that I can guarantee is that this will help you find or enhance your personal style. Other than that, look for people to be using it by Fashion week. Download it.

So i wanted to take this time to do my #followfriday for my immediate team. All of these guys are well on their way to changing the game in their own individual lanes. It’s cool to have a collective like this. ImageGranted, PresentingCorey, Cirq6, CB, Wingtipsandloafers, Manshion, Wellpressedgamer, Addison Wright.

I also want to thank all my blurs who have been going hard and supporting me. All the outside supporters who keep me motivated and give their support behind the scenes from the messages to the reblogs.

Ask Cbenjamin:

Hey CB, can you recommend two casual jackets that will get me through fall & winter? From NY & the weather can get pretty harsh, when I’m with the guys I don’t want to be over dressed. Thanks. Anonymous

Early fall: a denim jacket. I own two. Your favorite blogger probably owns a few as well. They are classic. You can layer under or over one. A fitted distressed trucker jacket will always look good.

Winter: a peacoat. Something heavy too. Schott is good so are army surplus stores. Again, keep it trim and keep it classic. Stay away from hybrid nonsense. Navy or charcoal, double breasted front is where it’s at.

Some More Stratford

While in Stratford last weekend, I found myself pulling out yet another theatre-appropriate, pseudo-casual outfit that just worked perfectly. And let’s be honest, add this blazer to anything and I’m feeling good. However, I think what I enjoyed most about my time in Stratford was the temperate weather. Toronto has been so very humid that I’ve been forced to walk around in tank tops and cut-offs most of the time—not my idea of a proper outfit. So the opportunity to actually wear something nice was not to be taken lightly.

I also rarely wear shoes that don’t match my belt—unless the shoes are crazy-coloured. However, with packing limitations, I did it and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
