Still, he has no regrets and sees the benefits of being self-taught. “Every time I failed, I’d ask myself, ‘How can I improve?’” he said. “It’s a very small circle, and word spreads fast within niche groups like this,” he said.

☆ Gucci’s new designer Sabato de Sarno makes himself known

Yet, if Gucci’s new designer Sabato de Sarno was rattled before he took his bow for the Italian luxury house at Milan fashion week on Friday, he didn’t show it. Where Michele was an overt maximalist with retro references, de Sarno mined the Gucci archive and codes in a more stripped-back way. Oxblood red dominated the collection, inspired by The Savoy hotel in London where Guccio Gucci worked in the late 1800s. The bling was, in fact, a reference to the Marina jewelry collection that appeared in Gucci campaigns in the late 1960s. The rest of the embellished crystal designs were inspired by embroideries de Sarno found on 1960s clutch bags in the Gucci archive.

The sheriff who oversees Bernalillo County and the police chief in Albuquerque said they won’t enforce the governor's order because it violates constitutional rights. Lujan Grisham defended her order as necessary, and rebuffed any calls for impeachment. Some critics have said it’s concerning that only those who want to curb gun rights have the Democratic governor’s ear. Top law enforcement officials and prosecutors have said they weren’t consulted before Lujan Grisham sprung on them an order that even she admits will be ignored by criminals. The Catholic Church was among the few who joined longtime gun-control advocates on Monday in support of the order.

☆ Don’t Underestimate Jimmy Buffett’s Influence on Style
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-02 | by ( Guy Trebay | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Odds are the world of capital-F fashion never gave a moment’s thought to Jimmy Buffett, the bard of Margaritaville, who died on Friday at 76. Mr. Buffett, a singer, songwriter, entrepreneur and best-selling author, took a form of laid-back dressing instantly recognizable to anyone who ever hung around a boatyard and made it mainstream both at home and abroad. Not for Mr. Buffett the hippie-adjacent suedes and leathers of his musical contemporaries, nor even the standard-issue double-denim get-ups preferred by pop folk idols of his age, people like James Taylor or Jackson Browne. A lifelong waterman, Mr. Buffett spent his early days propping up bars in Key West. Nobody wears uniforms on Key West, unless you think of a uniform as Bermuda shorts in Easter egg colors; low-slung, faded khakis; flip-flops; and short-sleeved shirts with raucous patterns and squared-off tails.

☆ Bentley CEO says customization craze among the wealthy is boosting profit
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Robert Frank | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

After a record-breaking year in 2022, Bentley Motors reported surging profits in the first quarter due in large part to car customization, CEO Adrian Hallmark said. Bentley reported its best-ever first quarter, with operating profits up 27% to 216 million euros, or about $232 million. The reason: Wealthy buyers are spending more to personalize their cars with special paint colors, leather, stitching and details. "Customers are choosing one of our 62 paint colors, the 43 leathers we offer and lots of options," Hallmark told CNBC. Bentley's Mulliner Edition department at the company's Crewe factory is turning out record numbers of one-of-a-kind Bentleys with special paint colors, metal finishes and embroidery.

It’s a grimmer chapter of an ongoing story, and one that is plagued by an inability to articulate why these white men murdering their way across the landscape are heroes worth rooting for. Cultural critics love prestige series. Few celebrated the end of the toxically misogynist “The Big Bang Theory,” or have seemed eager to discuss the resurgence of seemingly endless police procedurals starring white men. But the series has gained viewership year over year, with subsequent spinoffs debuting on new flagship streaming service, Paramount+. Like so many white male grievances, to question the logic is to side with the enemy.

☆ Inventory overload and a supply chain hangover: 5 logistics CEOs reveal what they expect from the all-important retail peak season
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Emma Cosgrove | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Logistics CEOs told Insider the picture going into peak season is less clear than in past years. "The consumer is going to have much more choice and availability," Malcolm Wilson, CEO of logistics firm GXO, told Insider. But no one knows if the customers will show up or not," Rubin told Insider. A "smooth" peak isn't necessarily a bad peak — what's almost certain though is that it will look bad compared to last year. "When I look at our customer base, what I see is a degree of optimism about the future, they're continuing to invest," Wilson told Insider.

But realistically, buying a quality leather jacket can become a substantial financial investment — one that most guys aren't ready to make (myself included). Most worthwhile options cost around $700 or more, which, for a while, meant that my only chance of getting a premium yet affordable leather jacket would be in a thrift store. That was, until I found out one of my favorite shoe startups was making really nice leather jackets without the retail markup. Very seldom will you find a genuine leather jacket of this quality at an under-$500 price. According to a currency inflation calculator, the $700 my dad spent on his leather jacket in 1996 is equivalent to $1,121.24 in today's dollars.

☆ Thursday Boot Co. makes a really nice leather briefcase for under $250 — as far as work bags go, it's one of the best values I've found

With such a distinguished accolade in footwear and a name like Thursday Boot Company, you'd think that the startup had every intention on staying in footwear, but that's not the case. Aside from the attractive colorways available, what I like about the Thursday Briefcase is its size and the optional shoulder strap. On top of that, many options don't have a shoulder strap, making them handheld only. With the Thursday Boot Company Briefcase, I was able to fit everything I'd normally carry in my backpack when commuting. If you're looking for a stylish, functional briefcase that's also durable and affordable, the Thursday Boot Company Briefcase is the way to go.
