New Name: Farmer Industry jeans

Farmer Industry specializes in deadstock denim and re-using discarded materials to make jeans that are environmentally-friendly and decidedly unique. They suggest that you wear their jeans for at least 6 months without washing in order to break them in to their fullest for a pair that fits your body and no one else's.

The "Boy" fit in grey, $119 (buy here)

A Dapper exclusive! We loved the Boy fit — a classic cut straight leg with a mid-rise front and back — and asked what washes were available. To our surprise, the folks at Farmer were willing to produce a run in a super soft and smooth fabric. It may feel like it's got stretch in there, but these are 100% pure cotton. White stitching throughout for a subtle finish.

The "Glory" in raw blue, $119 (buy here)

A slim straight leg for guys who want a good pair of everyday jeans, the Glory fit is similar to the Boy, with a slimmer cut through the thigh down the leg. Done in a classic raw blue, the Glory features two color contrast stitching on the pocket.

All Farmer Industry jeans have logo embroidery along the back waist with an embroidered rat celebrating the year of the rat, according to the Chinese zodiac.

Although these jeans are not made using selvedge denim, all inseams are finished with purple and red thread.

New Name: The Smooth Company

Another new brand for fall, The Smooth Company specializes in combining sharp tailoring with casual dressing. We subscribe to the idea that 99% of any look depends upon the fit and with smartly cut clothes like this, it's hard to not look good even when you're dressed down.

Spain jacket, $200

A cotton jacket for winter? Why not, when it’s coated and comes with a snap on/off hood? Zipper front with a storm placket, snap close neck tab, snap tab cuffs to keep out the cold, and four snap front pockets for all your things. Fully lined in 100% cotton with an inside chest pocket.

Axe shacket, $110

This thick and tough shirt jacket takes a casual dressing staple and does it up with refined tailoring elements. Epaulettes, barrel cuffs, back box pleat, and two front button-down chest pockets make it seem like just another shirt, but the button-down placket hides a zipper for an edge when you want it. Make no mistake, this cotton piece is thick enough to keep you warm on brisk nights and double-stitching all over makes this feel like the most substantial shirt you’ll ever own.

Castaway Peacoat, $220

It’s been a great season for coats and The Smooth Company’s peacoat keeps the trend going. A soft wool/viscose blend double-breasted coat comes loaded with all the little details that a guy needs: epaulettes, gun patch at the shoulder, snap tabs at the sleeves, button-down handwarmer pockets, single rear vent, and an interior chest pocket. The snap tab at the neck provides that extra little bit of coverage to keep you warm.

Gun jacket, $150

Thick herringbone twill gives this jacket equal parts texture and toughness. A button-down front meets a hook-and-eye closure at the neck and a strap closure at the hem for fit. Pieced shoulder construction, zippered waist pockets, and four flap chest pockets combine function with smart tailoring. Fully lined in cotton with an inside chest pocket.

Dapper short-sleeved button-down, $85

Imagine how pleased we were to see a shirt that shared out name! And it certainly lives up to our expectations with a button-down collar, pieced shoulder, back box pleat, functional sleeve buttons, contrast logo embroidery at the chest pocket, and an inner collar lining. A great piece to stay dressed down even as you’re getting bundled up.

Smooth jean, $98

A straight leg, five-pocket jean with tonal stitching all throughout for a sleek, understated silhouette.

Francine Trouser, $125

A classic trouser if ever there were one. Light grey cotton straight leg pants with 1% stretch for fit. Two front slash pockets and two back welt pockets, tonal logo embroidery at back pocket.

Fall 2008: Orthodox

Justin wears the Wolfe sweater, Blake jeans, and Zuriick lace-ups




Justin wears the Chaucer coat, Kipling shirt, Blake jeans, and Zuriick lace-ups



Chaucer coat, $286

Stand out this fall in the Chaucer jacket, done in a striking dip-dye ombre. Double-breasted, made of a thick wool, and fully lined in quilted polyester, the Chaucer is the standout piece of their fall collection. Leather zipper pulls, two pockets at the hips, and one chest pocket.




Bukowski jacket, $242

This hooded windbreaker definitely breaks the mold. Asymmetric placket with large snap buttons. Fully lined in ultra soft jersey. Ribbed cuffs, hem, and arm inserts make for a trim silhouette. Snap button pockets at the hips and zippered chest pocket.




Wolfe sweater, $194
Sizes S, (M, L sold out)

A chunky knit sweater that avoids looking bulky, the Wolfe is made of 100% merino wool, perfect as outerwear or as a layer when it gets really cold. Elbow patches lend some refinement, while the shawl collar and neck buckles provide a variety of ways to wear it.






Chekhov shirt, $194


One of Orthodox’s signature shirts gets an update. Details include welt pockets at the hips and chest, five-button sleeve, detachable neck strap, and convertible epaulettes. Wear it by itself or as a shirt jacket for a new approach to layering.





Hawthorn shirt in plaid and grey, $147


Wild West meets high-tech in this re-imagined western shirt. Button-down flap pockets at the chest and a gunflap over the left shoulder make this piece surprising, but subtle.



Kipling shirt, $149


Never has mixing a knit and a woven come off so cool. A contrast woven four-button placket with detachable neck strap makes for a dashing silhouette. Ribbed cuffs and hem keep the silhouette lean while two kangaroo pockets add a practical touch.


Eliot tee, $79


Layering reaches new heights of sophistication with pieces like the Eliot. This wide-neck long-sleeve tee in a purple, grey stripe looks deceptively simple, but details like raw edges and sewn-on buttons make this much more than a tee.



James thermal henley, $96


With an asymmetric button placket and long-drapey sleeves, it’s hard to mistake the James as just another Henley. Thin, gauze-y cotton makes this the ideal layering piece for fall.





Blake jeans, $169


Even jeans get an update. Take your typical straight leg jeans, add some darts for fit, extra zippers and pockets for functionality, and coat it with resin for a beautiful finish. These run small, so try your true size and one size down. Unlike other denim, these will not stretch much, as the coating keeps the jeans’ shape. Wear them down and the coating will develop into a lustrous patina.

Good news for denim lovers; we've gotten a full size run replenishment of our Good Society jeans in both slim and straight fits. Also, unlike the last batch, these are properly sized and should fit true.
