Ben Silver: Style Guide

Thanks to the Blushing Hostess and her recent post about Ben Silver, the men's clothier in Charleston, SC!

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!

What better Father's Day gift than a needlepoint belt???

Not only that, but Smathers & Branson is offering 20% off with the coupon code, DAD, right now! {Offer expires May 10th.} Apparently, the code is good on all S&B products, from key fobs to dog collars.

Mr. SDP has the bow tie one...and by "one" I mean belt, not collar. Ha!
