The waistcoat might have its moment!

Once relegated to the three-piece suit, the vest is slowly showing up more prominently in menswear.

Designers and both seemed to show some version of it in their FW26 collections. And the most compelling designs from where it’s designed embedded into the top.

The question is: are you buying into the vest?

It’s important to have a signature scent. In a way, it defines a piece of you when words simply aren’t enough.

My signature, Cuir 28 from LE LABO Fragrances is one I look forward to purchasing every September.

Is men’s style too reliant on layers?

Spend enough time looking at menswear online and you might think getting dressed requires a shirt, a sweater, a jacket—and perhaps another sweater tied around the waist for good measure.

But when it’s 90 degrees with full humidity, what happens when all those layers come off?

This week, I answer this and many other questions from you, joined by tremilller of Todd Snyder —from dressing well without layers and finding the right shorts length to buying clothes that actually fit and developing your own personal style.

Cultured Swine was never going to be a digital only product. When I started this newsletter in 2024, the intent was to one day bring it into the physical world. Almost two years and 6,000+ subscribers later, we (you and me) made that a reality.

The first issue of The Piglet Gazette—our independent print journal documenting style, people, and culture—features one, on the ground, reported piece with nuance and original photography you won’t find anywhere else, and is now available at three bookstores across the DMV:

Lost City Books — Adams Morgan
Loyalty Bookstores — Petworth
People's Book — Takoma Park

Copies are $8. Walk in and ask for The Piglet Gazette!!!

Palomo Spain re-releases its infamous “Ass-Air” jeans.

A signature of the Spanish label, the cheek-baring jeans previously made their way into Jean Paul Gaultier’s 2021 Les Marins collection, with founder Alejandro Gómez Palomo as guest designer.

Who's ready for a cheeky fall?

It’s rare we get a glimpse at the inner workings of the fashion world. Here, through the eyes of Clement Carpentier we go behind the scenes of a Thom Browne set to see his world in action.

Interestingly… this story has very little to do with THOM BROWNE. the man. Nor does it really look to analyze his runways. While I could wax poetic like so many fashion editors do about the label, gushing with very little criticism (god, how I hate that), I’ll instead be zooming in. So close, in fact, you might forget this story had anything to do with Thom Browne at all.

His name is Clement.
