I love everything about these limited edition sunglasses from the pros over at Super: the flat-top, the classic shape, cool design details (see the logo inside the hinge) and the genius Italian leather wrap. They go on sale tomorrow at 3:33pm CET, available through December 10 — although something tells me they’ll be long gone before then.

A few days ago, Por Homme posted about this excellent double-breasted blazer from the in-house collection at NYC boutique OAK. In light of my new-found appreciation for double-breasted coats, I’ve been keeping my eye out for them — and this one certainly caught it. The single-button is a nice detail, and it looks great with just a tee underneath, illustrating the point that double-breasted jackets have become a casual option. Take a look.
Plus, it’s unisex, so your girlfriend can get a matching version — particularly if you’d like to never have any friends.

A few weeks ago, I came across a great double-breasted blazer from one of my favorite new labels, Company of We.
Most likely a reaction the DB’s of my youth, immortalized in the First Communion photos at my parents’ house, I’ve pretty much had a blanket policy against them since I first started dressing myself. Turns out, that might have been a bit harsh. The Company of We version nods to its brass-buttoned forebearers, but the slim fit downplays it stodgy past. Worn with a t-shirt, it’s smart, but definitely on this side of casual.
Company of We isn’t the only label giving the DB another chance live outside of mafiosos and 80′s business tycoons; they’ve been featured prominently in SS 2010 collections from a whole spectrum of designers — from Alexander McQueen to Michael Bastian and everyone in between.
