Disaffected Prep

When I first found Lawrence's blog, Sartorially Inclined, it felt like I found a long lost style brother.  Minor differences aside (he wears a size 30 APC New Standard jean, I'm a 31), we have in commmon a love of finding great clothes and sharing our finds and thoughts with others. 

Lawrence is a lot like James Brown - the hardest working man in the business.  He consistently puts out great posts day in and day out and seems to have an unflaggable energy about him that comes through his writing.  Sart Inc has also developed a great sense of community in the past few months, as Lawrence provides thoughtful responses to each comment on his posts.

So when I thought about doing a collaborative project, Lawrence popped into my head immediately.  We batted around a few ideas over email, and came up with a collaborative head to toe post that as Lawrence described it, would be "fit for the weekend." Over email, Lawrence went first and selected the boots, and then I would respond with pants that I liked that went well with the boots.  You'll see how this works below.  It felt a lot like a clothing chess game, and we had a lot of fun putting it together and hope to do this a few times for you all. 

[Note: Items presented in the order in which they were compiled.]

Polo Ranger Boots...$153.00
Lawrence: This Japanese watch maker has been producing watches since 1950, though they just recently entered the US market.  Good thing they did because you are not going to find a cooler looking watch for under $200.  Everyone, including myself, has been telling you to grab a black face watch, but try this instead.  Simple yet classy, this watch (and black leather band) will dress up any rugged weekend gear.  And most importantly, it looks 3 times more expensive than it actually is.
