A Case for the Knit Cap
It seems that in the world of menswear, hats are a bit of a touchy subject.

Disclaimer: I received a tie in exchange for this review.
I was recently approached by William of Mr. Jenks to do a review on his Irish Poplin ties. As I have little to no experience with contemporary ties, I knew that I had to take him up on his offer.
