The Mr. Macko’s Fall Three.


For fall 2012 I am def­i­nitely in the mood for all things warm & fuzzy! Color is al­ways a big turn on to me, but I’m also feel­ing much more tac­tile of late, if it doesn’t feel good against my skin, I’m not go­ing to wear it, not mat­ter how cool it is.

1)Moni­taly brushed wool camo blazer: The first piece I or­dered this sea­son was the camo blazer from Moni­taly. I fell in love with it the mo­ment I saw it! The camo is brighter than you would ex­pect, wear­ing this you’re never gonna blend in, it’s in your face and un-apolo­getic. The brushed wool fab­ric feels like you’re wear­ing a tai­lored blan­ket. I also got the match­ing bow tie, I’m jonesing to wear this!

2)The El­der States­man knit­ted t-shirt: Yes, $315 is a hell of a lot of money to pay for a t-shirt, even with 15% cash­mere, but I fell in love with these t’s years ago when I first met Greg Chait the de­signer and founder of The El­der States­man. He’s kind of like a cash­mere pusher, he gave me the first one as a gift and I’ve been hooked on them ever since. This is the per­fect shirt to wear on a plane, hope­fully fly­ing to Mi­ami for a long week­end.

3)Git­man Broth­ers X Open­ing Cer­e­mony, Dou­ble-Faced, But­ton-Down Flan­nel Shirt: Chris Ol­berd­ing of Git­man Vin­tage is my hero! I wear his shirts al­most ex­clu­sively and each sea­son he man­ages to find the most amaz­ing fab­rics and turn them into shirts that I can’t wait to wear. This fall it in­cludes a group of Por­tuguese deco flan­nels that are dou­ble faced, the red/blue/grey color way is my fa­vorite. This, worn open, sleeves rolled up, over a vin­tage t-shirt with ripped Levi’s is my daily uni­form.

Bonus #4)Stubbs & Woot­ton, kelly green, buf­falo storm boot: Stubbs & Woot­ton just isn’t for black-tie any­more! Last year I wore a pair of their ver­sion of the chukka, called storm-boots, in navy blue vel­vet for a photo shoot and fell in love with them, they were com­fort­able and ex­tremely light weight. Af­ter the shoot I lit­er­ally went right to their store on Madi­son Av­enue and bought them. This sea­son Percy Stein­hart has de­signed them in a bold kelly green buf­falo plaid which I also can’t wait to get my feet in. I’ll def­i­nitely be rock­ing these on Christ­mas morn­ing.

Thanks Michael.
