Smart Corduroy Jacket from Brooklyn Industries
Ever notice yourself developing a personal uniform? As much as we strive for variety and originality, most of us have some default favorite outfits, a personal style formula. One we like for guys: nice skinny jeans (avoid skin tight, please- we don't need to see that), an unusual or witty graphic T (no Hanes, please), perhaps a button-up or sweater and a blazer. Scarves make great winter accessories without looking like you tried too hard. We're currently particularly fond of the Professor Corduroy Jacket from Brooklyn Industries.
The jacket it cut slim- much different from the corduroy box you may remember professors wearing. This non-frumpy update runs small, so if you're ordering online, don't underestimate your size. Dustin, shown above, found the large a snug fit.
We like the fit, but the details are what really sell us on this jacket. It has elbow patches! They're flexible, and go well with the rich brown. The corduroy is soft, a "wide-whale" cord. There are roomy pockets at the hip and- this is the best part- the lining is black with white polka dots.
At $138, we think this is a great way to make your wardrobe distinguished. Pair it with glasses, witty conversation and belgian beer for a great evening.
About the Author
Ruth The ampersand tattoo on her shoulder goes a long way towards explaining Ruth's outlook on life: there's always an "and." With TrulyNet, Ruth enjoys working on social media and writing... and editing... and... Ruth went to the University of Oregon, where she studied music, dance and cognitive psychology (and sleeping very little). While there, she designed classes and taught arts enrichment to talented and gifted grade-school students. After graduation, Ruth spent several years as a Market Analyst at a large law firm in New York. Feeling the pull back to the west coast, Ruth moved to San Francisco and worked for Stanford for a year before deciding to pursue dance. She now runs dance events (wejustdance.com) and travels around the world teaching Argentine Tango, Blues Dance, Street Jazz, and as many other dances as she can get her feet on (danceruth.com). Ruth is also the founder of Just Dance Project (justdanceproject.com), a collection of recordings of people dancing to music - a living anthropological study. Ruth spends more time on Facebook that she cares to admit. When not attached to the computer, working for TrulyNet, or dancing, Ruth rock climbs, knits, swims, obsessively plays Boggle, plays games, plays tennis, cooks, sips beer, wine and whiskey, and travels seeking adventure.
