Spring 2009: Cheap Monday Last Shipment

Our last shipment for spring from Cheap Monday has arrived. This last batch is mostly made up of their Kostym label, an offshoot dedicated to the notion that tailoring and sharp silhouettes ought to be affordable, too. As always, everything is available for purchase at the Dapper webstore and you can click on the prices to go directly to that item.

Basic jacket, $155

Need a suit for spring? The Basic jacket is a one-button, peak-lapel jacket that smartly goes from day at the office to night on the town. A polyester/viscose blend gives it a great spring/summer weight that won't hang too heavy on the body but won't feel flimsy, either.

Mod pant, $110

Can't have a suit without a great pair of pants to go along with it. Cut from the same fabric as our Basic Jacket, these pants have a slim leg that keeps your whole ensemble looking wonderfully modern and clean.

Basic shirt in white, $65

The classic white shirt, redefined. Narrows cuffs and a slightly shrunken collar give the basic dress shirt a fantastic update. Single box pleat at the back, custom stamped buttons, and included collar stays.

Basic shirt in black, $65

The same shirt as above, but in a sleek black.

Chino pant, $70

While we love denim at Dapper, sometimes, you've got to swap them in for something lighter. These chinos are cut from a nice medium-weight cotton, have a slight high rise. The comfy loose fit is balanced by a slight taper down the leg.

Bruce tee, $30

The Bruce tee is built for comfort – literally. The slightly widened crewneck and soft cotton knit makes it an ideal tee to just throw on when it gets nice and sunny

Loose shirt in blue, $65
Loose shirt in multicheck, $65

Quite possibly the most perfect summer button-down ever. Cut from a soft and airy cotton, these shirts have a relaxed, loose body with a narrow cuffs and shrunken collar to keep the look smartly tailored. Wear them untucked with jeans or tucked into trousers; either way, they'll look just right.

Ray shirt in multicheck, $55
Ray shirt in white, $55

It's time to but out those short-sleeved button-downs. The Ray is a boxier, roomier fit than the Loose shirts above – perfect for those summer days when it's too hot to wear anything else. The open collar and wide sleeves will keep you both covered up and cool.

Spring 2009: Cheap Monday, Part 2

Keep your eyes open for an absolutely massive update of Cheap Monday and its tailored offshoot, Kostym. We've received the entirety of our Spring shipment, so we'll have new suits, shirting, tees, and pants to offer.

Cheap Monday and Kostym

This season, not only have we got two great washes in Cheap Monday's regular fit, but we've also got some pieces from their Kostym collection, an offshoot of the main line for more tailored and sophisticated looks.

Kostym Trench, $155

A lightweight, but still rather substantial trenchcoat, this piece is perfect for breezy summer nights. Lined in a lightweight synthetic mesh, this trenchcoat has a row of snap closures and includes a belt to keep your silhouette clean.

Mod Jacket, $140

Take a cue from Hardy Aimes, the British arbiter of mod fashion during the 60s, with this three-button suit jacket. With a higher button stance, double vents, and a trim shape, this jacket just oozes style.

Mod Pant in grey and black, $100 (Sold Out)

Kostym's Mod Pants are a wonderful slightly tapered trouser with slash pockets on the side and welt pockets on the back. A perfect cut for summer, dress it down or up as you like.

But it's the small details that make Kostym such a fun line. This little message ("Never Forget the Secret Handshake) lines the waistband on the pants.

Regular fit in broken blue, $65

Those looking for a great pair of blue jeans in a classic cut with clean detailing should look no further. It's tough to describe the wash on these jeans; it's a lighter blue in Cheap Monday's signature raw denim for your summer wardrobe, but still dark enough so you don't look like you're a couple decades behind.

Regular fit in alive black, $65

The black on these jeans is absolutely beautiful. Since these aren't overdyed, there's a white weft that adds a grainy, grey look to the denim. Both of these are great jeans that'll only look better with age.
