Woolrich John Rich & Bros. is celebrating 185 years with an extraordinary collection. It's divided into three themes. The "Authentic" line (with pieces such as the railroad vest and hunting jacket) features original American wools from the Woolrich woollen mill in Pennsylvania. "Teton" gets technical with a focus on performance, durability, and protection from the elements. The "Contemporary" offerings--knitwear, felted-wool blazers, fleece chinos--are stylish, comfortable, and casual. You'll be keeping an eye out for this sizzle next fall.
Tenue de Nimes is one of your favorite stores in Amsterdam. Both locations showcase exceptional taste and employ some of the friendliest and most knowledgable staff out there.

Each piece was crafted in Italy from Florentine Vacchetta leather and Japanese selvage denim. Both the leather (€545) and "inside out" denim (€450) versions are available online through Travelteq and Tenue de Nimes.

Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, the only museum in the United States devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary design, will open the renovated and restored Carnegie Mansion, Friday, Dec. 12, 2014. When the transformed museum opens on New York’s Museum Mile, it will offer 60 percent more exhibition space to showcase one of the most diverse and comprehensive collections of design works in existence.
Ten inaugural exhibitions and installations, many of which draw from the museum’s permanent collection of more than 210,000objects that span 30 centuries, will feature more than 700 objects throughout four floors of the mansion. For the first time in the museum’s history, the entire second floor will be dedicated to showcasing the permanent collection through a variety of exhibitions.
The transformation of the historic Carnegie Mansion (the former residence of Andrew Carnegie) into a 21st-century museum is an astonishing work of design in itself, with an esteemed team of 13 design firms involved. The spirit and character of the landmark building were preserved, with key elements restored to their original grandeur. Much-needed system upgrades were made, allowing for more flexibility to reduce exhibition installation time, better accommodate the movement of objects and, above all, to enhance public access on every level.
