NEW ARRIVALS FROM AGAVE

Shirt - $215...pant - $255 - both by Agave

Spring's collection from Agave denim is casual, but sophisticated - a product for a guy who loves to mix patterns and textures. Try an aggressive buffalo plaid button-down, paired with a striated black cotton stretch jean.

Worried about the weight? These fabrics may be dark and richly colored, but their extreme light weight will keep you comfortable even in the hottest Seattle weather.

AGAVE - SUPIMA MELANGE CARDIGAN

Supima cotton cardigan - Agave - $175

We've talked elsewhere on the blog about how great long-staple cotton is, but it's uncommon to find at this price point...Italian vendors frequently price pieces of this quality at $395-495, which makes Agave's product that much more amazing.  Available in a distinctive charcoal and hazelnut color-way, this cardigan is a great value at any price and will be something you reach for constantly this fall (and likely this upcoming Spring too!)

AGAVE - ITALIAN CANVAS JEANS

Italian canvas jean - Agave - $265 each
Shoe - Timberland Boot Company - $275

Agave is well known for their innovative takes on casual clothing - incorporating luxe Italian-made fabrics in styles that are normally reserved for basic denim.  These flannel jeans are no exception - a subtle nailhead weave and a lofty hand feel compliment the perfect slim fit - not too skinny, not too full.

AGAVE SUPIMA DENIM

Agave Indigo-wash pima cotton denim - $265

In addition to the special-order options we are featuring this weekend, we also have a great assortment of Agave stock product in our spring selection. This denim is literally one of the softest fabrics we've ever come across. A 10oz Japanese Supima cotton denim, it's hand sanded and stonewashed to break down the fibers, reducing shrinkage and creating a lovely feel against your skin. The cut is great for men who want something current - but not trendy/skinny.

THANKS FOR COMING!!!!

 Warmest thanks to Mark Murfitt - Agave representative - and to everyone who came to our Olvi's and Agave trunk shows this week! We had two very fun events and will retain select pieces from both labels for your perusal this coming week. See you for our next trunk show in May, when we'll be featuring special order custom shirts from Hamilton Shirts.

FROM THE LOOK BOOK: AGAVE POLOS

Supima cotton polos - $135...also available in salmon pink and charcoal

Agave Denim's knitwear is one of the best values in their industry. Made in the USA and featuring ultrasoft lightweight Supima cotton, Agave is a wonderful choice for a sophisticated polo shirt - perfect to wear under a sport coat or with golf attire.

FROM THE LOOKBOOK: AGAVE CREWNECKS

Supima cotton crews - $145 each

These cotton crewneck shirts are made of Supima cotton from Peru - an long-staple cotton (the longer the cotton fiber, the better quality the yarn) that gives garments a very soft hand with a slight glossy sheen.

We're really impressed with the quality of these garments at these price point, which give some of our best Italian resources some serious competition.

KENT'S PICK - AGAVE LINEN JEAN

Linen/Cotton jean - Agave - $255

"I love Agave's range of casual pants...they have an incredible fit, not too trim, not too baggy. This fabric is particularly great because it's got the light, soft texture of a linen pant mixed with a little bit of cotton and lycra so it doesn't become a wrinkled mess."

NEW ARRIVALS - AGAVE KNITWEAR

Sweater by Agave - $295 - also available in dark charcoal

Agave's knitwear is a wonderful value, featuring construction and finishing techniques used in MUCH more expensive sweaters. This cardigan is no exception. Italian superfine merino wool is Mercerized (forced between hot metal rollers) to give it a softness and sheen like silk.

MANNEQUIN MOMENTS - CROSSLEY

Peacoat - Crossley - $295...Sweater - Agave - $245...Pant - Tailor Vintage - $145

Special thanks to everyone who came in for our Crossley Trunk Show this last weekend...the line was a hit and we look forward to seeing more!
