The Masters: November Edition

November 10, 2020 by David Coggins in Etc.

It’s the tradition unlike any other. And with the Masters in November instead of April it really is unlike any other. I’ve ordered my Riesling (a warm streak in New York is bringing that Spring feeling).

RULES AND REGULATIONS

September 30, 2020 by David Coggins in Style

I wrote about my style rules for my friends at Artful Living magazine. It’s always nice to offer commandments. You can read it here and see their (very welcome) youthful illustration of me. Then I wrote a story over on the Newsletter about developing a more individual sensibility. You can read that here. There’s also a new Central Division podcast where Michael and I discuss deadlines, productivity and office mode.

CENTRAL DIVISION: SARTORIAL ISSUES

Do you think too much about style? Good, you’re in the right place. For this week’s podcast, Michael Williams and I went all the way in and talked about men’s clothing—prep, chinos, Japanese genius, bad phases and why I wore a tie to a ranch in Idaho. So head over to The Contender to listen to that. There are also recent stories about road trip rules and answers to more of your questions.

DON'T BE SHY: IT'S CENTRAL DIVISION

August 31, 2020 by David Coggins in Etc.

Hey now! Welcome to Central Division, a weekly conversation with my dear friend Michael Williams. It’s recorded, it’s digital, it’s what is known in the wild as a podcast. Though out of modesty I prefer to call it a conversation. We discuss things that matter to us: travel, design, men’s style and bad beer. With detours into fly fishing, golf, Japan, cars, marketing and other obscure interests.
