Emblematic Ties - J. Press New Haven

Glengarry Sporting Club posted some emblematic ties from J. Press earlier today. This is the J. Press store in New Haven on York Street - In this photo, I can't be sure that they are the Irish Provinces, but note the 6th tie in from the left, front row under the paddle of the crewman's oar.  Also on the round table at the right of the photo.  It's a very "candy store" image for me.  I took this on 6/28 last year on a visit to New Haven and Greenwich to visit my daughter, my sister, friends and family before heading to Cape Cod.  I won't make it this year  - but hopefully in the fall and the Yale-Harvard game with my son.

Some other views of J. Press - New Haven

My daughter and the very friendly J. Press salesperson

Lots of summer tans, seersucker, and madras

Note the stash of schoolboy scarves and hats.

I love this place!

The Season Has Started

As far as I'm concerned, the warm weather seasons have started - we've had mid 90s weather for a couple of weeks - no rain, parched lawns already.  To be totally honest, spring and summer gear came out of the back of the closet beginning of April.

These images scream relaxing summer fun, parties, dining, dating, weddings, vacations - It's all ahead of us.  Enjoy yourself!

Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend - Live, Laugh, and Love.

Spring is just around the corner - really!

J. Press says so.  They came out with their Spring, 2011 on-line catalogue - lots of nice stuff - here are just a few

Colorful Summer

Starting with the trip to New England in June and July, I managed to kick things up a bit in the closet as far as color goes.  Mostly knit ties and ribbon belts.  I really like them, but I can see that the belts may only have a month or so life left in them before they look a bit out-of-place (even for Florida).  The knit ties on the other hand - have some year-round opportunity in them - which makes them an even better bargain since I bought most of this catch on sale.


I did some tinkering with the photography -

J. Press Blazer and raw silk tie

I regularly wear this combination twice a month so as not to over do the image.  The blazer is perfect, but the tie - I get no less than three compliments a day when I wear that tie.  It adds that special POP of color.  Gold pocket square gives the kit panache.

It's Here!

9/1 - two days early!  Cool!
