From LA TIMES :: Men's Spring Fashion

After picking up a GQ recently, I was suprised at the first 100 pages of ads for fashion! But here again I find men's fashion dominating another source.. LA TIMES "Brand X Daily"

Kevin Carney, Mohawk General Store Says:

Spring trends: “It's moving beyond everyone looking like a lumberjack. Shirting [of the button-down variety] is the new T-shirt. So Gitman Bros. does really great shirting, and we've done really well with it. There's a lot of really great patterns and textures that they're coming out with.”
Local brands to watch: “We work with this really great brand called Industry of All Nations. For spring, [they have] some really great colored denim — everything is hand-woven, selvedge, naturally dyed, really beautiful slim-fitting jeans. Their espadrilles [shoes] are completely biodegradable. We couldn't keep them in stock last year.”
One item every guy needs: “I think every man should have a really nice basic pair of shoes that aren't sneakers. A leather sole, a nice brogue. We have a shoe called the Naval; it's pretty versatile. You'll look a little dressier than you would in a pair of sneakers. A good pair of shoes, if you take care of them, they can last forever.”
