Recently, we've had a good amount of feedback and questions concerning outfitting, how to wear certain items, and like-brands that our company digs. We're excited to introduce "Style Files," a new weekly blog segment highlighting new product and some of our favorite items from brands we believe in. This week's Style File is titled "The Modern Man," inspired by Arcade Fire's album "The Suburbs". Having recently launched our July 2012 Short Run Collection and The Commonwealth Collection's Pocket Square Project, we're highlighting The Blue and Brown Carrington Check and The Waverly Pocket Square.
