The Oxford Files: A Hush Money Sartorial Tutorial.

08/11/2011 Leave a comment

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

“Please allow me to wear you out!”

We humbly introduce to you Hu$h Money’s “The Oxford Files” Sartorial segment of our little blog that will. Where we selfishly pry and preach about what we feel is undeniably essential to your outer layer. We chose “Oxford” because it represents some of our favorite and most timeless shoes, shirts and fabrics inspired by that old English University which spawned many of yesterday’s biggest, brightest and even the world’s worst elite, as well as inspired ours and past generations basics and best to wear for any occasion. We believe that although old traditions must be augmented and or Re:Invented, a classic piece is only considered a true classic when you can’t do without. speaking in fashion terms of course, nothing do or die, as that would be silly. So please consider this segment’s offering a not so serious, yet absolute conviction of ours that you can borrow from before you dare enter one of our secret parties. We may take notice and or hand you one..

Hush Money & Co. Would like to thank all of our favorite bloggers for these dandy images..
