// The Best Shorts In Life Are Free//
Sometimes I wish I had enough money to dress classy. I mean…you can always put together some Salvation Army finds with something and make it look a bit dees, but then there comes that designer shirt, pants, or shorts that would just take you over the top. In this case - its by Free Pants.
My buddy Dave, who’s got serious street cred, posted this video of Monica Blazevic making her custom Free Shorts that are classy to the full definition.
Check out the full Free collection HERE and watch the video below…music by Soulsearchin’, taken from their upcoming Free Pants EP.

// Gant Rugger Pre-Fall 2011 “New Haven Math Club”//
Gant Rugger’s pre-fall collection hit web and stores today, inspired by old math clubs back in the 60’s. Its funny to me, really, how mathletes 50 years ago were not considered sexy or fashionable by any sense, but if they would be transported to now - they would be classy and trendsetting.
The New Haven Math Club, which is the theme/title of the the line, was heavily influenced by photographs of a Yale math club from the mid-’60s. “It just blew me away, because there are these super geniuses, the top guys at math at the time, and they were all super preppy,” designer Christopher Bastin says. “It was like taken out of Take Ivy madras blazers, button-downs—they looked really, really sharp.”
Ruggers created a 3 minute video showcasing some of their better pieces in the collection. It looks like this whole video was shot, edited, and then put into Instagram for color correction. I love it.

“We’ve done a lightweight, two-piece wool suit, which has a very slim silhouette. It’s still a comfortable suit to wear, but it looks really sharp.”
“The nice thing about what’s happening with menswear right now is that it doesn’t feel contrived. It comes naturally—there’s lots of sprezzatura in what people are wearing. It’s effortlessly cool, and that’s what it should be all about, I think.”
“There’s also a sweater that we call ‘All Cricket,’ which is kind of a mix between a classic tennis knit and a cricket knit. That’s also taken straight out of one of the pictures I saw, where one of the guys was wearing this kind of classic tennis knit under a really dressed-up sports jacket.”
“I’ve always been a vintage nerd, but I’ve kind of obsessed over vintage American sportswear since I started at Gant. [Going through the archives] I started finding all these keys to the way that most guys dress today.”
“There was this set of 10 pictures, everyone was in class, there were these amazing algorithms on the blackboard, and the teacher just looked like something out of Mad Men. They just looked so astonishing.” [via Valet and GQ] The only thing bad about dressing like this - is the price tag. I’m just typin’ what we’re all thinking. ///Steven

He recently launched Life + Times, an online lifestyle magazine, which he personally will curate.
This is internet gold.
