TGIF Shopping: Schnayderman’s Shirtmakers Draw Inspiration From Jonah Hill And Donuts For SS15

By

The Swedish shirtmakers at Schnayderman’s have got food on the mind for SS15–and who can blame them? They’ve not only included a limited-edition “Donut Sprinkle” shirt on a light crisp poplin, but shot the entire look book at one of Stockholm’s most famous boutique bakeries, Le Violion Dingue. In addition, they’ve created a second limited edition shirt, this one a crowded beach print on a crisp poplin.

“Past collections drew inspiration from florists and from butchers, so for SS15 we turned our sights on the bakers,” says Joel Urwitz, co-founder and lead designer. “We are a bunch for shirt nerds looking at other people’s passions and skills and drawing inspiration from those.”

They also drew inspiration from the feisty, cocaine-snorting Donnie Azoff–portrayed by Jonah Hill in the film The Wolf Of Wall Street–creating a special shirt in tribute to the character. “I just fell in love in love with the way Costume Designer Sandy Powell dressed Jonah for this film. It reminded me of old shirts I used to wear in the ’90s and it made me curious to visit the attic and see what else I could find up there.”

Beyond the limited-editions, the remainder of the collection features suave pastels, unique all-over prints, and a heavy focus on primary colors.

What do they say to those afraid of a little color? “we were afraid of color too at first, but as we grew braver we realized that a splash of color can be really sophisticated when used with purpose and in moderation.”

For those looking to keep things a bit more old school, there’s a range of sharply-tailored classic pinpoint button downs.

There’s also classic checkered fabrics with subdued hues using Japanese bleached wash denim and soft Italian overshirts made of corduroy with real horn buttons. And of course, a whole line of semi-thick Oxford shirts in an array of seventeen color combinations.

Citizen Tsuyosa 37mm

Smaller case sizes are trendy, and every brand wants a piece of the pie.

Citizen just rolled out new Tsuyosa timepieces, designed to keep up with the changing times. While the brand worked on 40 mm Tsuyosa watches, it is now downscaling the size, just a little bit, to 37 mm. Thanks to its striking colors, the Tsuyosa collection has dominated the industry in the past two years. Well, this is the perfect time to take over again with a watch that has a compact size. Even though this watch is smaller than the 40 mm version, it still sits perfectly on the wrist.

Sorel, Madeira, and bourbon? Bardstown says yes with this Manhattan riff
This unusual recipe shows off the French Oak finish of a fine bourbon
Bardstown Bourbon Communion Cocktail

Bardstown is going bold with its latest cocktail offering --  the drink stars the bourbon brand's new release, its Cathedral French Oak bourbon. It also makes use of Sorel Liqueur, a hibiscus-flavored liqueur inspired by the traditional Caribbean tea drink. Hibiscus is a great ingredient to incorporate into cocktails, as it has both a sharp, berry-like quality and a floral softness, and Sorel incorporates ingredients like ginger, cassia, and cloves as well as hibiscus to give the liqueur a spicy note.

There's also Maderia in this cocktail, which is a much-maligned wine style but one that's becoming increasingly popular in cocktail circles, where its fortified nature and bold sweetness make it an interesting substitution for vermouth. In fact, this cocktail is really a kind of Manhattan variation, with bourbon rather than rye, the addition of a floral liqueur, and the use of Maderia in place of the vermouth.
