Press Play – September Vogue

Stephen — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 15:40:10 +0000

Normally when your past comes back to haunt you, it’s time to run for cover. This blast from the past literally makes us want to dance in the street!

While flipping through the bible of (ladies) fashion – September Vogue – we stumbled across this terrific photo from our recent past. A couple years ago, Justin Timberlake was shot for a special supplement to Vogue called Fashion Rocks. We made J.T. a bespoke tuxedo shirt from our Hamilton Shirts line, and we were lucky enough to have it appear. To illustrate the upcoming Fashion’s Night Out, another photo from the same shoot was used..and this one is even better!

Around here we like to think that even through our very small contribution, we are doing what we can to help bring Sexyback. We can provide the great fitting shirt, the rest is up to you…dance moves not included.

Hamilton 1883 meets Epaulet

Stephen — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 08:30:01 +0000

Recently Hamilton Shirts worked on a limited edition collaboration with the very stylish Brooklyn based store named Epaulet. Made exclusively for them, this new shirt is a cool riff on our existing ‘Utility‘ model. Shop owners Mike Kuhle and Adele Berne created the style using fabrics from our custom Hamilton archive and the results turned out really terrific. If you don’t believe us…then check out what the New York Times T magazine had to say about it here!

What goes with Corduroy? 1883! Sept. GQ

Stephen — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:26:07 +0000

If there is one thing we’ve realized over the years, it’s that an endorsement in GQ magazine goes a very long way.

We were very happy to receive the September issue in the mail and find Hamilton 1883 featured inside! The article that we appear in is called the “New Business Casual” – a terrific guide that shows you how to face a casual workday without looking like a drone. Sharp, well fitting clothes, really DO make the man.

Hamilton Shirts has been saying that for 127 years!

The Mast Brothers, Men’s Journal

Stephen — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:09:09 +0000

If you haven’t noticed, we here at Hamilton Shirts really appreciate craft and the attention to fine detail.

The fascinating chocolatiers - The Mast Brothers – represent the epitome of craft and detail, and we really like what they do. There seems to be a lot of similarity between the Masts and the Hamiltons…we both like great materials/ingredients, we both take the time to make things right, and both companies are run by a pair of siblings!

We were really excited by this credit that just appeared in the recent September issue of Men’s Journal. We like these brothers unique style, and are thrilled that Rick Mast is wearing a Hamilton 1883 shirt. They are just the kind of guy that we love to see in our clothes. So cool!

Thank you to Men’s Journal for thinking of us.

Over the summer break we were hit with a some really fantastic news. The September issue of Vanity Fair arrived (Lady Gaga cover) and inside their 5th Annual Style issue was The 2010 International Best Dressed List.

Stephen — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:35:09 +0000
