A Thread About NewYorkIslander - February 23, 2015

[Styleforum Ari]

Let's take a step back through time to 2009, when ever-controversial poster Mafoofan entered Esquire's "Best Dressed Real Man" contest. Sure the prize eventually went to some tool who wore Ralph Lauren rugbys over double-layered buttondown shirts (ugh), but one of the finalists eventually drifted our way and traded in his Banana Republic for high-end bespoke.

I'm talking about, of course, Epaulet's best customer: NewYorkIslander (formerly NewYorkRanger).

Let's take a look at three of his recent -- and great -- fits.

Ercoles Coat, SC and Shirt
Yellow Hook Neckties (Big Brown Herringbone)
Epaulet Trousers
Carmina x Epaulet Boots




I guess big herringbone ties are "in"....this showed up in my mailbox today:

Too cool. Very stylish teacher and a great heavyweight winter look with muted colors and thick fabrics. I also like the very minor contrast between the jacket and pants.

Party Pigs and Grey Cap

A streetwear look. Yes, the tie is a it questionable (also the number of layers), but props for the combination of like ten en vogue brands - LL Bean mocs, Wings + Horns hoodie, Wolf vs. Goat shirt.

Bit more casual yesterday:



Ercoles Overcoat
JCrew Sweater
Yellow Hook Necktie Co Handrolled Scarf and Tie
Kamakura Shirt
RRL Slim Straight
Carmina Boots from Epaulet​

​

The cardigan and the bespoke overcoat speak for themselves. Too goddamn dope.

Well it's about time.

Always been a fan, although I thought he joined before 2009?

Either way, I haven't checked out his fits in a long time, but I appreciated how he both works inside and outside the SF-approved looks. Something I should probably look back and comb through for inspiration.
