Rule #1 of the TSB Office: Bring Your “A” Game.
Comment below to let us know which outfit is your favorite!
Alex
“Denim on Denim for some dressed up workwear today. On a side-note, I’m in the middle of reading both of Ron Currie Jr.’s books. I highly recommend them, especially if you like Vonnegut and being sad.”
Towni
“I love this jacket. It’s super lightweight and waterproof, perfect for the unpredictable weather of NYC.”
Wes
“Vintage olive leather bomber and a cheap plaid shacket slimmed-up by our friends at The Tailoring Room. More on them Monday, at least according to our current content schedule…”
Dan
“Vintage shawl sweater and navajo vest, both hitting the TSB SHOP soon. That is, if Gabe and I ever finish the e-commerce buildout…”
Blaise Staab
My friend and former Columbia basketball teammate Blaise stopped by the studio today. He was one of my first personal shopping “clients” back in college, and one of the reasons I was encouraged to start writing TSB. Now the handsome devil is killing it in denim on denim, a vintage scarf and beat-up Red Wings.
Thanks for reading,
The TSB Team

Dan. Beautiful Navajo print vest.
@Wes: which colorway are these Clarks ?
beeswax colorway, I’ve had them for quite some time now so they’re really worn out.
Blaise got this one.
Wes’s layering is perfect but I have to give it to Dan on this one…
How do you get a scarf knot like the one on Blaise?
Seems to be a regular loose once-around drape
Dan takes it! Btw: You called that forthcoming Native American movement in fashion WELL BEFORE any top designer(s)…people called you crazy…but now I’m seeing Native American gear everywhere (even H&M). Gonna start callin’ you Trepanstradamus!I might have to ask you fill out my NCAA bracket next month, Trepanstradamus! :) Keep up the great work, my man!
Towni
And since everything else has already been complimented about your outfit, I’ll mention the pants: great fit, great color, and they look really comfortable.
Wes.
Dan.
Dan. Nice belt.
Towni. I really like that shirt and tie combo.
These cameos are throwing a wrench in the gears, but I’ve got to give my vote to Alex.
This was a hard one. I’m going with Towni by a nose.
DAN
Wes. The leather jacket is awesome and I like the contrast of the shorter jacket over the longer shirt. Also, way to tease us for the next post!
Towni.
Blaise, with Townsend a close second.
For me it’s Dan today. That vest reminds me of Northern Exposure in the best of ways!
I will go with Towni, but with a caveat – the jacket is bringing everything together here, take it off and I’m less sure about some of the combinations.
Blaise!
Towni with the win- the lettuce seals the deal.
Towni, great shirt-tie combo.
Towni looking fresh. Where did you get that jacket?!
Dan or Blaise. Dan’s layers are great, and I love the vintage vest. Blaise’s tailored tonal look is equally gnar. I can’t decide. Flip a coin for me.
Alex has been putting in a strong performance recently, but Townis’ shirt/tie combo is a winner.

Dan hands down today.
Townsend today
Towni wins… But PLEASE stop posing with your foot like that. It’s not cool.
Denim on denim day..
Towni FTW today. Very clean
Wes takes it.
Towni for sure! I want a coat like that for spring/fall. It’s still too cold here for anything light.

Wes/Blaise
All great looks today! Nice touches of red for V-day. Thank you, all of you, for inspiring my own style.
1.) Towni – This look is top notch and the one I most relate to – Where is that jacket from? 2.)Wes – You are the King of Layers! Im taking notes! 3.)Dan – That Navajao vest is awesome! 4.)Blaise – love the different shades/textures of blue. 5.)Alex – thanks for the tip on the reading material!
Alex, beautiful silhouette!
I was torn between Townsend and Blaise. Howwever, the double monk straps was the tipper for me.
Winner: Townsend
Wes for the shoes
At risk of people thinking I vote exclusively for Towni…
Going with Blaise for his nice peacoat and scarf.
@Towni: Which color is that Uniqlo coat? Blue or black? The blue on their website looks purple as hell.
Also liking the subtle American flag shirt/tie combo.
We were actually just talking about this in the office… It’s like a weird navy/charcoal color. I don’t think they have it online. The dark green is probably a solid bet though. Thanks for reading and for the (almost) vote!
I’m pretty convinced it’s black. Which makes Towni like it less, and me like it more.
What’s with you and black lately?!
also I hope blaise has some dirt on u dan after linking that pic of him
Andre Drummond!
Pretty sure my man Blaise caught him with a mean elbow under the glass…
Major Blaiser
dan today…..on an entirely different note, where is the tsb team Harlem shake video already?
Towni. It’s the shirt.
Wes for me today, followed by Alex.
Dan. Great vest!

I’m not really a fan of layering button up on button up but Wes’ look is changing my mind.
Very clean look. Wes
Towni
Townsend. That jacket is super flattering!
WES!
Please give my wardrobe an extreme makeover!
Hi Bob. Are you in NYC? Would you be interested in being featured in an upcoming TSB Upgrade post?
Austin, TX. But definitely interested if it were somehow possible to do anyway.
I’ll be in NYC for a week in March… I’ll let you revamp my style.
Hi! I’m going to go for Blaise today because I think his coat is amazing and it blends really well with his outfit. Second would be Dan, as his sweater is to die for. Cheers
Towni
