The suits the Four Tops are wearing during this 1965 performance seem shockingly as relevant today as they were back then. This skinny lapel, the piping, the bow ties. Are they wearing Thom Browne? What an amazing group of well dressed gentlemen. Plus, they carry a tune pretty well too.

If you haven’t heard, the beloved boutique chain is opening a NYC outpost in a month or so. Last night I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the space and eat some good bites from the Spotted Pig folks. Color me obsessed. The detailing in the rooms (powder coated heater covers, wool blankets, High Life in the fridges) is off the charts. I can’t wait to stay there — or maybe I will move in full time. Some detail shots below to give you a little taste of what to expect.

California footwear brand SeaVees recently collaborated with Pantone on a collection of colorful canvas sneakers. The people from Pantone were gracious enough to let SeaVees founders Steven Tiller and Derek Galkin into the company archives to curate a group of colors that “epitomizes the cool, casual style of California in 1963.” This collection is especially interesting because, Pantone has never granted anyone outside of the company keys to the vault. The full collection can be seen here.

This also got me thinking about Panton’s branding initiatives as of late. From the GAP pop up shop, to their adventures in Japan. It seems the company is on a 3M style mission of “we don’t make things, we make things better.”

This scene from Deadwood could be my all time favorite brawl. Dan Dority versus Captain Turner. Note to self, I need to name a child or pet or something “Captain Turner!” Awesome! (Slightly graphic.) “Argh! Arghhhhh! Arghhhhh! Arghhhhh!”
