For the kick off of the Bill of Rites Book Tour in Charleston a few weeks ago, I went once again to that well of friends matriculating at the College of Charleston to host. The so-called Brotourage has done me the honor on many occasions (Brooks Brothers bow tie launch, Bonobos party, Billy Reid [...]

I want to start this by saying tradition (particularly Southern) and the prep bible (The Official Preppy Handbook) tell men that V-necks are not prep and crew necks are the only way to go. I am a sometime believer of this mantra but I am also guilty of rebellion. I like the way a V-neck [...]
