Nick Sullivan (Park & Bond)
“I think there was a time when every accessory under the sun, you had to have. I don’t think you need that right now. I still like those mixed-up looks—that’s kind of how I am—but I also think about like some James Bond-ian kind of two piece suit, shirt, tie, done. There’s just something nice about it, the confidence you know you need to wear that.”

The Simple Pleasure of Wearing Clothes (Put This On)
“In a recent documentary, Tom Ford explained this scene from A Single Man, where his distraught protagonist George drags himself out of bed in order to get dressed. The scene wasn’t in the original book Ford based his movie on, but he put it in because it related to him. When he’s in a deep and dark depression, one of the things he enjoys doing is putting on a suit. “It might be false,” he said in the documentary, “but I feel like if I shine my shoes, put on a tie, and make myself look as good as I can possibly look, I feel better. That somehow it’s armor; it’s a ritual that I go through.””

The Discplined Pursuit of Less (Harvard Business Review)
“Think of what happens to our closets when we use the broad criteria: “Is there a chance that I will wear this someday in the future?” The closet becomes cluttered with clothes we rarely wear. If we ask, “Do I absolutely love this?” then we will be able to eliminate the clutter and have space for something better. We can do the same with our career choices.”

Indochino, or, How to Sell Clothing to Generation Smartphone (Made by Hand)
“What sets Indochino apart is their approach to the shopping experience. Men generally hate to shop, and they especially hate to shop for clothes. There is one shopping experience, however, which manages to lure the male customer, and hang on to him, and these guys seem to know that; from the moment I walked in to their “shop”, I felt like I was at the Apple store.”
