CKCloseup: Harris Tweed and Orvis labels 

Today at the Thrift - Harris from Orvis

Today's (Sort of) Outfit - For the Birds

Another highly-textured outfit today, built almost entirely with pieces from thrift shops. The orange and gold of the jacket comes out when paired with the burnt orange tie. The green pocket square pops when playing off the green stripe of the tie as well as the bird embroidery of the trousers. Below this, similar tones continue with burnt orange socks and chestnut shoes.

Wish List - Wool Cap

I'm a driving cap guy but on occasion when a baseball cap seems the appropriate choice, I avoid logos and flat brims, and turn to this excellent wool cap from Orvis.

Orvis Patchwork Tartan

Rarely do I endorse the fun shirt, the patchwork shirt made infamous by Brooks Brothers. However, this Orvis piece somehow works for me. The color palette is relatively simple and grounded in black, which would pair easily with dark jeans and loafers.

Out Standing in Orvis

 I've been admiring Orvis' selections more and more lately, and here are sixteen reasons why.
