Albert Hammond Jr. Does Suits
15 years ago
I’ve been digging Albert Hammond Jr.’s music for a couple of years now. My friend from Minneapolis, Minnesota got me hooked on his sound (thanks Rob). Since then I’ve also been drawn to Jr’s. style. Everything about him from wardrobe to album cover has been stellar.
I wasn’t entirely surprised to hear that he is doing a new line of men’s suits…and that they rock. They’ve been coined as smart, sleek and insanely covetable. There’s a delectable burgundy version, snappy three-pieces, and a fitted trench with enough length to wear into the colder months. Available at Confederacy, each ensemble will cost you about $2000.

Email fashion questions to Jack, then check the website over and over again to see if Jack has posted an answer to your online. How Cool, or what a wait of time? This is in fact J.Crew’s latest feature.
Here’s an example of a question that has been answered on the site:
What’s the difference between a sportcoat and a blazer?
“Both blazers and sportcoats are similar in design to suit jackets, but they’re meant to be worn as separates. People often use the two terms interchangeably, but traditionally speaking, the word blazer refers specifically to wool or cashmere jackets that are solid navy in color. Sportcoats are slightly more casual and are usually made in a wider range of fabrics and colors (they can also have patterns, like stripes or herringbone).”
