The Sierra Shirt in Blackwatch Plaid

 

Oh man, guys, I know it’s still summer, but this is the shirt I’ve been dreaming of for a long time. Finally fit for a lady!  Ya’ll know I love the blackwatch and I’m not shy to say Taylor Stitch has been a long-running favorite.  Reduced from $125 to $98 bucks, I’m definitely thinking it’s time to treat yo’ self.

Mackintosh x Band of Outsiders Coat in Black Watch

Um, yes.  This is just about the best thing I've seen all season in terms of rain coats/outerwear. Mackintosh and Band of Outsiders collaborated on a whole line of goodies. The subtle fading of black watch at the bottom, the green cuffs, the classic silhouette, what's not to love?!

History--Charles Mackintosh developed a unique cloth that spread rubber over cotton. In 1823 it became the world's first formal waterproof cloth and the original Mackintosh coat.  It seems to have garnered a bit of attention: here.

The Black Watch

First time wearing the wool blazer this season.  I know it will be 56 degrees this afternoon, but what the hay.  The last picture makes the fit look really bad, but it's just me extending my arms to take a shot.  I love Black Watch probably has something to do with my affinity for all things Scottish.  Check out more about this at Valet Mag.  Also, if you're not into the whole blazer look, try this scarf found from SuitsandBoots and The Black Watchman.  

Black Watch: The regiment's name allegedly came from the dark tartan that they wore and from its role to "watch" the Highlands. "Black Watch" was originally a nickname for the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot, but was used more and more so that, in 1881, when the 42nd amalgamated with the73rd Regiment of Foot, the new regiment was named "The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders)". The uniform changed over time, but the nickname has been more enduring. The regiment adopted the royal motto of Scotland's Stewart monarchs, Nemo me impune lacessit (no-one provokes me with impunity).
