Brand Spotlight: Wythe - Topic of the day 6/17/24
" I started Wythe searching for icons of the past — the perfect oxford shirt, an authentic denim pearl snap, the grey sweatshirt worn to perfection. These were all things that could be found in any shopping mall, but the soul of the garment had been ripped out. I wanted the oxford shirts that Miles Davis wore, the denim pearl snaps that James Dean wore, and the sweatshirts that Paul Newman wore. This dream of a lost Americana became Wythe. The bygone heirlooms of the past, remade to fit well and last long enough to be passed down to the next generation of dreamers. "

My main issue with Whythe as with many other brands is taxes and duties make them 30-35% more expensive in the EU
I feel like their sizing differs a lot between items but they have super cool stuff
There's variance for sure
But I love the generous sizing on the flannels and work shirts while still have a good crop
Just got my 5th flannel on ebay and saving up for the raglan herringbone overcoat thing someday
Those coats are unreal
The shirts here all Wythe (pretty sure on Albert's but I'm not 100%)
the french fabric inspired cotton/linen indigo stuff is still my favorite. Those popovers are some of my favorite clothes
my guy you have an issue with government lol
I have
Yeah sizing variance is a big thing with Wythe imo. I love most of their stuff, I have three shirts so far and I’m on the fence about getting an OCBD too, but it sure isn’t cheap either.
It’s at a price point where I know it’ll be worth my money but it still makes me consider buying for sometimes longer than the stuff is actually available lol
I appreciate what they've done in ushering "a hint of Western" into the menswear scene. They have a couple of pieces every season that I pine after but I tend to be nervous about the sizing inconsistency.
They have a store in NYC I want to checkout
They have a bunch of stockists of course though only two in the EU
NYC store is great. Super friendly. Hand you a beer when you walk in vibe
the brand is ok but they need to fire whoever their director of wholesale and marketing is
They have like three or four stockists in Tokyo. I keep meaning to get down there and try on one of their cool shirts.
Got an oxford a couple years ago and love it. It's my go to biz caz shirt. Since the store opened in NYC, I picked up some cords and a tencel pearlsnap. Really love the feel and vibe of the tencel shirt
Posted this fit recently but here it is again so you can see the shirt
Shout out to Tim and the team at the NYC store for being cool
Found photos of the Oxford and cords as well. Great stuff
This is a made up title anyways so I agree
I like work shirts the best so far. I think I have 4. I never got around to the OCBD yet but will probably get a white one if it isn’t too long in the back.
im due for a wythe shirt. really like when they do big stanky wide stripes
I love Wythe and some of my favorite things I have came from them: moleskin pearl snap, herringbone work shirt, tencel pearls snap, duck hat, denim pearl snap. I’ve also purchased
one of the worst fitting (for me) items I’ve ever tried on, with their shawl collar coat. I definitely recommend the brand overall, and will certainly buy more from them in the future.
