Some silk bowties from the Neil Barret collection. They are made from silk and look wonderful on these dalmatian clones as they would on yourself. You have some color options in them. They’re available now from Por Vocacao and others.

Take a virtual journey with us to San Antonio and check out On the Road, an exhibition investigating the mystique of the American road trip now on view at Artpace.

We spoke with Jens Hoffmann, curator of the exhibition, and Michael Drutt, Director of Artpace. Their words complement an exceptional selection of art works drawn from the show.

All this happens here.

Here’s a first look at APC’s satchels for the upcoming season. Now that most men have either a tote, shopper, backpack and weekender in their arsenal (or in our case, all of the above) we could do with a satchel to add to the roster. We’re big fans of the maroon colourway but we won’t begrudge you if you prefer the more serious brown.

We’re all about (slightly) more affordable pieces of Lanvin, whether it be their footwear or pieces like this denim shirt. As far as denim shirts go this isn’t going to change the world – unlike all the other denim shirts doing the rounds – but it’s pretty sharp. Not to mention how ‘Youth in Revolt’ it looks when teamed with and white trousers. (Luisaviaroma)

Furniture fans will want to take note of events in Boston later this month, the city playing host to the annual Furniture Society Conference. A few local galleries have exhibitions that dovetail nicely with the meeting, including Jenna Goldberg’s exhibition at Gallery NAGA.

A graduate of RISD, with an MFA in furniture design, and a current resident of Fall River, MA, Jenna Goldberg is one of America’s most admired third generation studio craft furniture makers. 20 pieces make up her solo show, Wallflower, on view through July 16, 2010 at Gallery NAGA in Boston. Goldberg’s furniture is utilitarian and accented by glorious floral decoration.

The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

Gallery NAGA, 67 Newbury St., Boston, MA.

Can you think of a better time than now to get a heavy navy jacket? No? thought so.  In all seriousity – yes, we said seriousity – out of season pieces are always better to buy now due to cheaper prices and the like, but we wouldn’t blame anyone if they liked their summer purchases a little more, ermm, summery.

Take a leap, see those detailed images

Given the sheer amount of news, info and just plain stuff around the web sometimes we forget to mention things we like. Proper magazine is one such thing that got lost in the internet cracks. We’ve not read issue 9 yet, but if it’s anything as good as issue 8 it’s definitely worth purchasing.

Proper magazine does cover that section of menswear that’s hawt right now, but it’s avoided po-faced commentary, injecting humour and a sense of fun into their writing. Issue 9 has interviews and features on Norse Projects, Arc’teryx Veilance and Superdenim amongst others. Go get it if you like a good read. (Proper Magazine)

Dip into some new Summer shorts with these poplin Bermuda’s from the Stone Island collection. The Bermuda shorts feature snap closure pockets and drawstring waist like most other shorts. Seeing as they carry the Stone Island name, you can expect a level of quality and durability that goes beyond what most shorts on the market offer. The Corner stocks them.

It may be just a little bit  before  we see where Mark MacNairy takes the Woolrich Woolen Mills line. Until then, we suggest you check out more from his signature New Amsterdam collection. These contrasting oxfords for the Summer should do the trick. “Mark McNairy short-sleeve button-down oxford cotton shirts have arrived.  These shirts are made right here in the USA and feature contrast paneling in both stripes and solid blue oxford fabrics.” Available now at DQM.

For those spending this lazy Saturday on the Web (as I am for a moment), may we recommend you fire up your iPad and enjoy these views from the Rapha Condor team ride through Japan. “May 2010, Japan. The Rapha Condor Sharp Team travelled to The Land of the Rising Sun for the 14th Tour of Japan. A successful campaign, with several podium placings and great team work on stage 6 to get the win for British National Champion, Kristian House.” Photos by Shuhei Takenouchi. More at Rapha.
