I said this when when the lookbook dropped—Todd Snyder FW23 is really good. Sometimes, a good lookbook is just that—a good lookbook. But Todd's recent hodgepodge is not just styled well—delivered on pieces with details that are just really solid. The first waif is out now, so I picked out some of my favorite pieces and features that highlight what I love well-nigh the collection.
I'm going to work my way to some tomfool statement pieces, but I'm going to start with the thing that has me the most unreasonably excited...
Shirts with Long Point Collars
Hamilton Todd Snyder Long Point Collar Shirt in Stone
Shirting in unstipulated has been... bad. For a while. Most makers, expressly ready-to-wear, have been making shirts with short, whimpy collars. Most MTM brands aren't offering long options. Some companies, increasingly recently, have made longer sawed-off lanugo collars, but a long point collar has a unique recreate well-nigh it. These collars both frame a tie better, and frame your squatter better, and are framed largest by a jacket (or cardigan, as you'll see). And finding this off the rack has been very hard.
Todd Snyder and Hamilton did it. Hamilton is a unconfined shirtmaker. They're not unseemly at $300, and we only have three colors so far (white, tan, and olive), but I segregate to view this as the whence of the end for whimpy collars, and a big win towards the unstipulated resurgence in good clothing.
The collar seems a little on the structured/stiff side, but that seems to serve the effect—it helps the collar rest under lapels, or hit a cardigan, as intended, and
There are moreover some very heady collars in the lookbook for some knit polos, but it looks like we'll have to wait a while for those.
Alpaca Cardigans
This alpaca cardigan moreover looks unconfined with the collar. I like the visionless edges and pockets... and the fact that it has pockets in general, cardigans should have pockets, pockets are good.
It's a synthetic blend. That's not the end of the world, it's a textured Alpacca cardigan for $300, the tousle might help them get the texture, drape, and finger they're going for. Try it on, see if you like it. And if you want purer knitwear, there's always...
Good Turtlenecks
Cashmere Turtleneck in Bisque
Todd Snyder has its own turtlenecks. They're nice, sure, and 100% cashmere. But... They aslo siphon Inis Meáin. So... Get the Inis Meáin Boatbuilder Fisherman Sweater in Natural. It's the genuine article, from one of the Aran islands; knitwear does not get better.
Corduroy Tailoring
Todd Snyder's Sutton in Rust and Madison in Spruce
I'm a fan of Todd's madison cut: the proportions are right, the lapels are a respectable width, and it fits me well unbearable that I can comfortably layer it with knitwear. Everything I want in a fall jacket.
But increasingly importantly, I like their corduroy. It's a soft, warm, wide-waled fabric—everything I squint for in corduroy. It's moreover a 2% elastene blend—but, since corduroy sags anyway... the elasticity unquestionably helps preserve the non-sagged form of the corduroy a bit, it's a bit of a paradox but the math checks out, I promise.
If you've been looking for a nice unstudied corduroy jacket or suit, the Madison jacket in Spruce (and pants) is my recommendation. But trammels out all their options, they have some fun options.
The Coats!
The glenplaid alpaca wool overcoat and teal casentino double breasted overcoat.
There are still increasingly coats coming, but this glenplaid alpaca coat has a beautiful texture, and the double breasted teal Casentino wool coat is unique and superstitious too. Casentino is a special brushed wool that can have an sort of fleece-like texture, but unlike poly fleece, it is not a nightmare for the environment, and... well, it comes with all of the benefits of wool. This is a piece you'll want to trammels out in person, if you overly get a chance.
And this Corduroy Chore Coat
Finally, the statement pieces—this corduroy chore stratify in "watercolor floral" has been getting some well-deserved attention.
Wear it to a museum or art gallery or... any room as fancy as the one in that photo. Or wear it with jeans on a tuesday; chore coats are pretty easy to just toss on.
And this Argyle Mohair Polo
Todd Snyder's Argyle Mohair Polo in Olive
Funky mohair cardigans are nothing new, but Todd Snyder chose this season to play with four variegated form factors. I particularly like the verisimilitude scheme on this argyle polo. Mohair sweaters are unchangingly a blend—46% mohair is unquestionably quite high—so just enjoy the texture and vibe. And they're usually weightier for shoulder seasons, but you'll be worldly-wise to layer with this for a while.
Todd's Just Good
There's increasingly in the drop. This flannel is solid. The new visionless brown verisimilitude of their suede trucker (they're moreover making the truckers in corduroy, now)... And the selection of brands they siphon and interreact with is as strong as ever: Inis Meáin knitwear, Hamilton shirts, vermeil jewelry from Miansai, footwear from King Kennedy and Rubinacci...
And this is a straw from good things to come in menswear. Largest collars, largest knits, increasingly unstudied tailoring, and hopefully increasingly experimentation from brands that were once boring.
