While I have been a fan of Ben Silver for many years, she introduced me to one Mr. G. Bruce Boyer, a published author and fashion writer for The New York Times and Esquire. He is writing a style guide for BenSilver.com.
I enjoy reading his take on the Scottish knits used to make Ben Silver's sweaters and the 'regal dyestuff' used to color their beautiful gum silk ties.
I love knowing the story behind the clothes...even though I'm not wearing the tie, Mr. SDP is and he too takes pleasure in the fact that there's more there. A history. Tradition. So, thank you Blushing Hostess for the lovely introduction.
Happy shopping!
Ahh, yes, Ben Silver. Timeless, classic, so Southern. I find their items so appealing. A few years ago they were carrying women's and children's clothing. I hope that is still in production. A Southern Brooks Brother's I think.
