Velour’s AW 2010 collection offers several stately organic cotton shirts. The selection below is for GentleMen with a sense of style, humor, and comfortable refinement.
Velour’s Shirts & Ties
Velour’s online store, featuring a bunch of organic cotton in classic men’s styles, is up and running! The coordinating shirt-and-tie combinations are incredibly fetching, and mismatching them is even more fun. No one will even suspect that you’re a hippie in these sharp cuts:
Pumping Iron & Spring Tees
• Some of my favorite organic cotton lines have unleashed their spring collections: Vuori, Loomstate, Bassike, and Howies.
Loomstate also offers some great organic denim. I like the more fitted styles like “Manifest” and “Prophecy”. Howies has some perfect organic cotton shorts in gray, and recycled poly bathing trunks in bright, poppy red.
Spring Jackets are important if you’re in an area that has a cool or rainy spring, like we do in New York. Livity has a rad hemp-fur lined, recycled poly, water repellent bomber jacket! If a Mr. Rogers is more your speed, their recycled hemp, organic cotton five-button cardigan will be your neighbor.
• Speaking of spring fashion, who wants twiggy arms coming out of their tee shirts? If you’ve ever thought about getting diesel, the guys over at VeganBodyBuilding.com have some great resources. They cover everything from nutrition and strength training, to endurance and workout techniques. They’re even working on a documentary following three vegan bodybuilders as they prepare for 12 weeks to compete in a natural bodybuilding competition in Phoenix, AZ.
Loden Dager & Velour
This handsome, organic cotton-twill three button suit from Loden Dager can be found at Opening Ceremony, on sale.
Try it with one of these organic shirts from Sweden’s Velour, and a pair of cruelty-free loafers from Bourgeois Boheme.
