Accessories from J.Press

I love J.Press. Outside of certain Boston-New Haven-D.C. circles, they fly under the radar, which is totally fine by me. I usually skip their sack suits and pleated trousers (a favorite of U.S. Congressmen, but too bulky for my taste) and head right for their accessories. They have a great selection of repp ties and bowties in a variety of school colors, fabulous blazer badges for various Northeast colleges, cotton gingham pocket squares, braces, and colorful watch bands. Notably, they are the official purveyor of the "Chuck Bass Scarf," a crazy silk dot patchwork number. If you don't happen to live in one of the four cities where they have retail locations, there's always the online option. Pictured: a cotton madras bowtie ($49.50). Pair it with a seersucker suit, white cotton oxford, and bucks and you've got the perfect outfit for the Virginia Gold Cup or the Foxfield Races.
