“When guys tell me they need a suit quickly, I always send them to J.Crew,” says
Sean Sullivan, a New York filmmaker, photographer and founder of the
crazy-popular Tumblr The Impossible Cool. Since we’re in the middle of what some
would refer to as “tux season,” he swung through the Ludlow Shop in Tribeca last
weekend to check out our latest addition to the formal rotation, the Ludlow
shawl-collar tuxedo jacket, which is offered exclusively in the store and online.
In addition to kitting out Sullivan in J.Crew formal attire (he wore it rather
well, as you can see above), we also talked photography, music and Miami.
“I was just down at Art Basel and I stayed at the newly opened Freehand
Hostel, from the owners of the NoMad in New York. It’s a different Miami
over there—none of the craziness of South Beach, just some Rolling Stones
playing by the pool.”
Sullivan immediately gravitated to the one-button, shawl-collar Ludlow over
the more traditional two-button peak lapel, and we paired it with some
vintage silver- knot cuff links available in the shop, a linen pocket square
and a pair of beautiful Crockett & Jones® black cap toes. And while Sean’s own
style usually lands in the realm of rugged and smart casual—beat-up boots,
denim jackets, wool overcoats and the like—he does occasionally don black
tie. “I got invited to Tony Bennett’s birthday last year—don’t ask me how,”
Sullivan says with a laugh, “but yes, the tux got dusted off for that.”
So what questions about formalwear do you ask the guy who spends
his spare time digging through the Getty archives in LA for the most iconic
photos of the past century? Simple: You ask him who’s done it best. “That
photo of Newman at Cannes on the boat… He’s got some scruff going and
the pack of Marlboros hanging out of his jacket… I mean, as far as tux
photos go, that’s gotta be the best I’ve ever seen.”

guys in the know have been wearing Caputo & Co. bracelets since the line
launched last year, but these leather and waxed cotton bracelets are more than
just rugged good looks. they do good as well.
“I call the collection ‘Istanbul meets preppy,’” says designer and In Good
Company partner Alex Caputo, the aesthetic eye behind the textile-inspired,
waxed cotton bracelets J.Crew carries this season. Alex, who is from
Venezuela, has teamed up with the Guatemala-based nonprofit Comunidades
de la Tierra to bring jobs and fair pay to workers in the region and to further
the time-honored tradition of hand knotting.
“The DNA of the brand has always centered around handmade artisan
items with workwear details,” says Alex of his socially conscious designs,
which are often inspired by trips to far-flung places such as Thailand,
Istanbul and Argentina.
He sources his leather from eco-friendly tanneries in Mexico, which, he
explains, “leave in imperfections—that’s part of their beauty” and use only
natural vegetable dyes. The result is a bracelet that even the jewelry-shy guy in
your life will wear for years (and it’ll only get better as he does).
