As you probably figured, I’m in love@with this coat. But it’s also incredibly functional. Today was rainy, cold, snowy, hailing, and this coat took it all. It’s a perfect three season piece that works in winter, spring, and fall. ••••• Jacket: @barbour Sweater: @spiermackay Jeans: @imogeneandwillie Shoes: @meerminmallorca ••••• #menswear #mensstyle #menstyle #mensfashion #style #fashion #barbour #spierandmackay #selvedgedenim #waxedjacket #meerminmallorca #imogeneandwillie #blog #blogger #phillybloggers #phillyblogger #ootd #ootdmen #styleforum (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SKxE9nSKf/?igshid=i4zbypf26yfe

Introducing friends to higher end menswear stores can be a weirdly intimate challenge. I had the chance to take a few friends of mine to Imogene and Willies, and while they care about what they wear, I think I & W is a different quality of clothes. Certainly a different price.
Without fail, the price point is the the first hurdle, and kicks off a conversation about why jeans cost $250 and a thermal is $100. The sticker shock is real, but it also segues nicely into a discussion around ethical consumption, buying for life, paying livable wages, and buying quality over fast fashion.
Separately, it also begins a conversation around what I’m spending on clothes as I buy religiously from I & W, 3sixteen, iron heart, etc.
It’s never a conversation I’m comfortable having. I don’t believe it’s my place to tell someone how to spend their money. What was gratifying, however, was their willingness to buy into that mindset, and the appreciate the products in the store.
Everyone ended up buying something, and seemed pretty genuinely pleased with the fit and the overall aesthetic.
More broadly, I found myself more able to talk about what I look for, make what felt like educated recommendations, and engage in hobby that I find isolating at times.
I think the overall message may be closer to “good friends enjoy your passion around your hobby, even if they don’t share it” but regardless, it’s always nice introducing people to a brand I love, and hopefully beginning a sustainable interest in the clothes they wear.
It's crazy that it's been seven months since I'd been to Nashville. Yesterday I popped into to see a friend that was visiting town. We hit up all my favorite 12south spots... @whitesmercantile, @draperjames, and of course @imogeneandwillie. There are more photos from I + W on my story. I don't like cropping them. #nashville #liveauthentic #livefolk #americana #imogeneandwillie (at imogene + willie)
