Revisiting The Colonel Littleton No. 43 Mailbags

Here at OTC, we are lamenting the loss of one of our favorite bags – the No. 43 Mailbag – made by American leather goods brand Colonel Littleton. The design for the No. 43 was based on the iconic US Postal Service mail carrier bag, once a ubiquitous sight on America’s tree-lined streets. This roomy and distinctive leather bag is beautifully crafted and exceptionally durable, ensuring that the more it’s used, abused, and put to work, the better it will age. The company sent us a No. 43, which we first reviewed in 2016 – loved it. So, we were…

Janhvi Kapoor gives party style a traditional spin in a stunning beige corset saree by Tarun Tahiliani : Bollywood News

When actress Janhvi Kapoor made her feature debut in 2018, she was riding high on high expectations because she came from a family of film and fashion icons. In addition, the ingenue has hurried to the top of the best-dressed lists while choosing her movies. Given her initial sartorial credibility, Kapoor has a genuine confidence that is hard to replicate. She is a chameleon of fashion, and her best quality is her adaptability; she can lend appeal to modest kurta sets just as easily as she can to crop tops and skimpy shorts. She exudes the same degree of head-turning…

Why Great Style is Personal

The question which often lingers in the back of many a man’s mind is this: does it matter what you wear when no one is looking? Whether one works in a casual office or from home, or simply operating out of other’s sight, many of us often struggle with what to wear. Too formal and we feel dressed up with nowhere to go. Too casual, and it can quickly descend into 24/7 workout wear – minus the exercise part. One gentleman we know sees donning a suit as a specific obligation based on his audience for the day, otherwise he…

the best looks from an after-party at Mahjong Bar in Toronto

It seemed like everyone in attendance was dressed in the most intricate and unique looks.Shane, artists (@shaneilayagarcia left) and @auntyjerry (right) What I noticed was everyone’s ability to take neutral toned outfit pieces and make them pop. From double or triple layering outfits, it’s evident that 90s underground and DIY fashion is back with a modern spin.Zeina, stylist (@cairofruit) I spoke with two partygoers about their outfits and what…

Michael Bastian’s take on classic American style

A few years ago, we had a chance to sit down with award-winning fashion designer Michael Bastian and discuss his belief that what we know as classic American style was in fact born from the confluence of three distinct social trends. In this article we revisit that conversation and Bastian’s insightful observations of American men’s style. If there’s one thing you need to know about Michael Bastian, it’s that when it comes to American menswear and its various influences, he is a student of history. Growing up on the East Coast and attending Babson College in the 1980s, Bastian was…
