Share
THE HOLIDAYS are hard. Especially when it comes to getting just the right gift for that special gay nerd in your life, so we’ve made it easy and even easier to get some from getting that gift that goes the extra mile. Photo/Instagram.
UNTUCKit is our new fave place for new threads. Founder Chris Riccobono first created the Original Untucked Shirt in 2010. In 2011, he brought on Aaron Sanandres, a classmate from Columbia University, to help him develop the idea into a stand alone business. They opened our first store in 2015 in SoHo, and since then they’ve employed more than 700 people across 70-plus stores in North America, as well as our New York City headquarters. Riccobono started the company because he couldn’t find shirts that looked good untucked. “It’s a tough style to get right. That’s why we created the perfect untucked shirt. It has that just-right length, fits all shapes and sizes, and helps you look sharp—even at your most casual.”
We love everything in their catalog, but our fave is the Button-Neck Donegal Sweater. Buy it here.

FINE ART An original Alasdair McLellan Print.
Photography, fashion and art bookshop Claire de Rouen has announced the sale of a new limited edition print by British photographer and Another Man contributor Alasdair McLellan, the proceeds from which will be donated to NHS Charities Together to support those working in hospitals on the frontline of the pandemic.
Signed and numbered on the back and made in an edition of 45, plus five APs, the photograph – titled Roman – is part of McLellan’s celebrated Ultimate Clothing Company series, published in 2011, and comes at a generous price of £240.
“Alasdair’s edition injects a moment of joy and British romanticism into our strange reality,” comments Lucy Kumara Moore, director of Claire de Rouen. “We want to raise as much money as we can for those on the frontline of the Covid-19 crisis in the NHS, so we hope it sells out by tomorrow!”
Purchase the print here.
