Introducing the Pub Jacket

Unlike tailored clothing, which must have sleeves and shoulders that fit each man individually, knitwear is relatively forgiving. Sleeves, for example, are simply rolled up an extra inch if necessary to show a little shirt cuff. With that in mind, I am happy to introduce the pub jacket to the ASW store.

A navy blue blend of soft merino wool and 10% cashmere that is knitted in the Aran Islands, the pub jacket has a ribbed collar and sleeves, a seven button front and ribbed patch pockets. It wears like a less formal version of a blazer, which makes it ideal for days at home as well as afternoons at the local watering hole. Pair it with corduroy, flannel or moleskin trousers, my easy fitting chukka boot and either a dress shirt and a neckerchief or a lightweight cashmere top and a scarf.

Switching gears, the observant may notice a new "chat" button at the upper left of each page of the store. There are still a few issues to be resolved but chat will be live part of each day going forward. I hope you will find it a convenient way to have your questions answered as they arise.

Finally, remember that I am shipping all continental United States orders with a cost of more than $100 to arrive by December 24 without an extra shipping charge. That means you can shop as late as December 22 and still have your ASW purchases in time to get them wrapped.

Happy Holidays!
