If you are fan of raw selvedge denim like we are, then these chinos will be right up your alley.

They have a more extreme taper from the knee down, perfect for the guys that need a little room in the thighs but like to have a slimmer silhouette around the calves and ankle. These are also complete with loads of detail, from the button fly and flap pockets, to the selvedge (or salvage) detail along the coin pocket and inner leg seam, these are truly a unique pair of chinos you won't find at your larger fashion houses... yet.

Everlane Pique Pocket Tee

via Everlane.com

You are a culmination of your parents; your Mom's nose, Dad's forehead, and the cheekbones of your grandfather. This Pique Tee from Everlane was made in the same vein, with it's parent's being a common pique Polo and a standard crew neck, creating something unique. The basic construction and silhouette are distinctly crew neck tee while the fabric is typical of a pique polo, adding a more waffle-esque texture and sturdier body. They threw away the polo collar and kept the in-set pocket, making this a truly unique shirt in a color that is ready for spring. we suggest wearing this with white or navy chinos and nice pair of sunnies.

via wrangler.com

We've had our heads in Denim quite frequently as of late. While we have tried to venture away from the indigo twill, we can't seem to stay away for long. If you haven't read our deep dive into jeans and what makes a great pair, be sure to check it out here. These selvedge raw denim jeans from wrangler are an ode to the old way of making jeans, manufactured in the only large format selvedge denim factory left in the states. These jeans are made in the same place as the Levis selvedge lines and are sold at the same exact price point. The big difference here is cut. If you want an American-made, skinnier, more modern fit, with a slightly lower rise than you can get with the Levis line, then these are for you. Also be aware, these come with a button fly and are truly skinny jeans. If you have a set of tree trunks for thighs, we suggest going with the slim instead.

The Tie Bar Brown Leather Lapel Pin

via thetiebar.com

Details like this leather pin from the tie bar are a great example of the "extra 10%" of effort we say really transforms your look from "good" to "great."

This leather pin is a great addition for the more rugged guy that  wants to add an element that states "I work with my hands" without shouting it. If lapel flowers are too frilly for you, but you still want to add details, this is a great alternative.
