No longer limited to the formal traditions of yesterday’s Southern gentleman, Haspel’s Fall/Winer 2015 collection etches a path toward an urban journey with casual sportswear that takes the form of slim tailoring, classically subdued colors, and the occasional chevron and check. Fueled by the cooler-than-cool duo of Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos, Haspel’s “For All Mankind” Apollo documentary-inspired collection translates Americana into modern day wear. Preview selected shots from the season’s lookbook below, which will launch at retailers later in the year.
Garment-dyed tees, striped pima cotton rugbies, and contrast sleeve softball shirts are just some of the key players that make up the colorful roster of Shipley & Halmos‘ quirky new sportswear line, S&H Athletics. While new to the the market—like, it just became available online yesterday—the collection calls upon aspects of vintage and traditional sporting uniforms, and blends these elements with the playful whit and high quality design the brand is known for. Preview some of our favorite pieces below, and see the rest on their website or offline at a retailer (such as Bloomingdale’s, Colette, Ron Herman US, and Fred Segal) near you:
Labor Day is the annual warning bell: Summer is accelerating to a sprint, the finish line is in sight, and you did not work this hard to go home empty handed. Life gets compacted for a brief moment in an effort to look back on this summer with a fond smirk. Whether you’re celebrating with friends or strangers, on a yacht or a rooftop, with a Stella or a PBR, Labor Day is an occasion to look and feel your sharpest. It’s a time to hint at the future (bucket hats), while paying homage to the past (we’ll all miss our boat shoes). It’s a vacillation between seasons, allowing shorts to meet sweaters for a brief jamboree. Leave the political statements to the red and blue, kiss the bright white goodbye, and embrace this time of great joy, surrounded by smiles and serenades. And if asked, be ready with a good toast.
The words “shopping spree” and “March Madness” are rarely uttered in the same sentence…or said in the same conversation, lest that “spree” involve beer or basketball shoes. But despite the odds, the boys at Shipley & Halmos have found a way to put both in the same proverbial world and make March Madness work for you. Well, at least for one of you. They’ve created an online fantasy bracket tournament for all fashionably inclined lovers of NCAA Basketball that will result in one lucky player walking away with a $1000 Shipley & Halmos shopping spree. After the jump learn how you can turn your sports expertise into your summer wardrobe….
Aside from expert knowledge about this year’s March Madness teams, all you need is a CBS Sportsline membership. Simple as that. Even if know more about basketball shoes than NCAA Basketball, you can convince a friend to go half-sies with you. Either way you can’t really lose. Starting today, you can pre-register to secure your space but the real sign-up coincides with “Selection Sunday” on March 11th and closes on Thursday, March 15th. Winners will be announced on April 2nd.
