Peter Manning founded his company — Peter Manning/Five Eight New York — on the idea men 5’8″ and shorter have the same opportunity to find comfortably fitting clothes as anyone else. Not only does his company operate on this premise, Peter knows first hand how rare it is to find perfect fitting clothing right off the rack. Because of this, Peter launched his clothing venture in mid-2012 and works to “bring you the best fitting, best made clothes you have ever worn.” Since its launch, he’s helped thousands of customers who experience similar dilemmas while shopping for clothes. So whether it’s your next favorite pair of pants, or an ideal-fitting button down Oxford, Peter Manning/Five Eight New York takes the guess work out of finding the perfect fit for men 5’8″ and under.

Peter’s promise of providing comfortable fitting clothing goes even further with the recent release of his Tribeca Field Jacket; the first outerwear piece produced by the clothing line. Aiming to bring the popular field jacket design to a wider range of men, Peter and company perfectly rethought and rescaled the coat during its production. Touting a shorter length and shorter sleeves, the Tribeca Field Jacket also allows wearers to adjust the wrist and waist sizes for a fully customizable fit. Its cotton flannel plaid lining perfectly accents the jacket’s two available colors — tan or olive — and features a scaled down, corduroy detailed collar. Peter rethought the placement of each of the jacket’s properly proportioned pockets to make them both functional and convenient for the wearer. Streamlined and void of unnecessary detail, the Tribeca Field Jacket showcases everything Peter Manning built his “life long dream” of a company on.

There is Beauty in the Bleak for Private White V.C.
Celebrate the gray weather of Manchester

Legendary English artist L.S. Lowry had a particularly bleak outlook on his home country of England. While living and creating in Manchester, he watched men hurry home from work, hunched over to hide from the weather. While he continued to paint his vision of England, it became the center of his work. Private White V.C. is named after a World War I veteran awarded the Victoria Cross in 1917. They are known for their iconic outerwear, such as The Manchester Peacoat and The Ventile Mac. Their fall collection is a cross between these two English legends and pays homage to one of the darker aspects of Manchester—the Private White V.C. The Lowry Collection focuses on the drearier weather of the English city and finds beauty in the bleak by using the inspiration of Lowry's vision, the style, and the palette of the time.
Finding Beauty in the Bleak

“I’ve a one-track mind, sir. Poverty and gloom. Never a joyous picture of mine you’ll see. Always gloom. I never do a jolly picture.” These words from the artist himself show the image he has of his hometown of Manchester, England. And while it may sound depressing, the dreary part of the city is actually part of its charm. It offers a fantastic opportunity to wear stellar outerwear and seasonal offerings from Private White V.C. Some of the highlights include the Doleskin Revere Field Jacket, The Norfolk Walking Jacket, and the Casual Wax Jacket. Some of the knitwear worth checking out are Open Collar Cashmere Jumper and The Cashmere Submariner Rollneck.

Frye

Frye also has four more boot designs that are much more subtle and minimalist in their details. In plain leather materials and simple silhouettes, these boots are more suited for those who want a boot that’s easier to blend into their daily wardrobes.
