Welcome to our

NEW FORMAT After more than 20 years of sharing our Forum Magazine with all of our friends and clients, we have changed publishers and hope that you will notice the differences immediately.

Our intention with our semi-annual magazine will remain the same: to educate and entertain with a little twist of humor as well. This new format should help us fulfill these goals. Read through a few of articles and see if you don’t agree with us.

Want to know our staff a little better, go to “Advice from the Style Pros” on page 48. While the guys offer certain fashion tips, their personal comments made me chuckle. It looks like Brad Sherman spent an awful lot of his youth watching pop shows like the Three Stooges, while James Michel was too busy in his youth to waste the time. Paige Will and Kevin Luedke both show a great sense of style by selecting James Bond and Cary Grant as their celebrity style icon. Jim Quinn’s favorite fall accessory? No surprise to us that he said his braces. Chuck Simpkins’ passion comes through when he is in search of interest. You'll

enjoy this article—I know I did.

This issue of our magazine is not the only change affecting us here at Hubert White. The new Nicollet Mall right outside our front door was a flurry of activity this summer. The outdoor dining, the farmers market, the pedestrian traffic, it all was just terrific after three long years of construction. Next on the horizon of “new” will be the Dayton Building. Its total makeover should begin in earnest this fall.

I personally invite you to visit us this fall to see our new offerings. We think you will be inspired to add to your Hubert White fashion collection whether it be a dressy suit or sport coat, a dress causal trouser and sweater or a truly casual jean and knit.

See you in the shop,

Hubert White

Richard Pitino wears an Eton shirt and Ermenegildo Zegna suit.

Keep me in COACH Whether University of Minnesota men’s basketball coach Richard Pitino is leading his team to a convincing win or earning the Big Ten Coach of the Year award (he took that honor in 2017), he is consistently one of the best dressed coaches in the NCAA. At 35, Pitino projects confidence through his carefully curated wardrobe.

“Basketball is a stressful profession,” Pitino says. “When you’re coaching, you want to be comfortable but present yourself the right way. You’re representing the university and your own individual

brand. You want to look as good as you possibly can.”

That’s where Hubert White comes in. Shortly after Coach Pitino arrived in Minneapolis, general manager and Gopher hoops junkie Brad Sherman invited him to the store. Pitino was immediately impressed with Hubert White. “They know the way I want to dress every game, and they understand the importance of a consistent point of view,” Pitino says. “They know what works for me. That’s where the store is really good: the personal touch and their understanding of what I’m going to feel comfortable wearing.”

That close connection was illustrated a few years ago when Pitino was coaching a tough game.

“I got frustrated with the refs and it was really hot—so I took off my jacket and threw it into the stands,” he recalls. “I got a technical foul, but more importantly, I got a text from Brad saying, ‘Hey, you’d better be careful. Don’t damage that beautiful suit we sold you.’”

A Landmark REBORN It’s a new day for a Minneapolis icon. The Dayton’s Project, a renovation of a landmark building, is under way at 7th Street and Nicollet, right across from our store. Over the years, the 11-story, 1.3 million-square-foot building—which dates back to 1902—has been home to Goodfellow Dry Goods, Dayton’s, Marshall Field’s and then Macy’s. The redesign will update the structure to suit the modern Minneapolitan lifestyle. Here’s what to expect: The multi-function building will feature retail spaces and a food hall curated by culinary guru Andrew Zimmern on the first and second floors. On the floors above, plans call for state-of-the-art office space, an outdoor terrace, a gym, a library and much more. The Dayton’s Project is set to open in September 2019.

After shopping with us, explore all of the “new” attraction’s refurbished historical elements—such as terrazzo floors and 1920s Art Deco flourishes—as well as its modern upscale dining and entertainment amenities.

CORNELIANI Launches at Hubert White

Some menswear brands are true tastemakers—when they come out with a seasonal collection, the world takes notice. The Italian menswear designer Corneliani is one. Its clothes are made to be instant classics, sophisticated but always modern.

This season’s collection is built around “subtle effortlessness,” the company’s take on what others call casual excellence. The family-owned brand has been achieving excellence since the 1930s, when Alfredo Corneliani built the company on the strong values of his Italian heritage. Your Hubert White sales associate can introduce you to the latest from Corneliani.

FRESHEN UP for Fall As the time comes to say hello to layered looks and goodbye to sunkissed complexions, treat yourself to a day embracing the new season.

Within a few downtown blocks, you can add something warm to your wardrobe, relax with a

spa treatment and dine on rustic Italian fare.

Following a visit to Hubert White, head over to the Hotel Ivy and Ivy Spa Club (201 S. 11th St., 612.746.4600, thehotelivy.com) for a Gentleman’s Fitness Facial to soothe irritation from shaving and moisturize skin in preparation for cold months ahead. And don’t leave without a massage—you can choose from a variety of techniques, each focusing on your relaxation. When you’ve worked up an appetite, stop by Monello, the restaurant on the Ivy’s ground floor. It’s like taking a quick trip to the Campania region of Italy. You’ll love the restaurant’s inventive dishes (torchio with braised rabbit or sautéed tilefish, anyone?) and thoughtfully compiled wine list.

Now that sounds like a perfect autumn day!

LUXURY Fabrics 101 The finest wool used in both tailored clothing and knits is cashmere, made from the ultrafine hairs of Kashmir goats.

When you are investing in the best, you might want to know a bit more about what you are buying. All the clothing sold at our store is crafted in fine fabrics from the world’s top mills. So, here is a quick primer on the highest quality raw materials that make these fabrics so special.

Cashmere is made from the ultra-fine, long belly hairs of Kashmir goats. These revered creatures graze in various locations around the world, but the best cashmere comes from goats in Inner Mongolia, where herders use special combs to collect the cashmere manually. Like all raw material, not all cashmere is equal and the best cashmere will result in long-term performance.

Merino wool derives from one of the most historically relevant and economically influential breeds of sheep. The best merino wool is sourced from sheep in Australia and New Zealand. The wool from these animals is like a naturally coiled

spring, providing fluidity, crease resistance and comfort.

Vicuña yarn is considered more precious than the best cashmere. Nearly extinct in the 1970s, the vicuña was declared an endangered species. Fortunately, Loro Piana, the renowned Italian mill, came to the rescue in the 1980s and worked to safeguard these animals. By 2008 they established the “Reserva Dr. Franco Loro Piana,” Peru’s first private nature reserve.

No matter where you shop for men’s suits, jackets or trousers, you will see the label “Super 100s,” “Super 150s” or higher. It seems everyone boasts that their woolen fabrics are made from super yarns. What really determines the quality is the denier of the yarn. The really “good stuff ” starts at 18 microns and can find its way below 12 microns. The ideal super lux wools are in the 14-15 microns and feel like cashmere.

Ermenegildo Zegna has its own proprietary version that is 15 microns. The higher the number, the softer, more expensive and more delicate the fabric. Let the buyer be informed!

The Stars OF STYLE It’s easy to fall for George Clooney’s good looks or Anne Hathaway’s impervious charm, but we’ll always remember Hollywood stars for their personal style. After all, as Yves Saint Laurent once said, “Style is eternal.”

In Timeless Icons: The Style of Celebrities (Electa, $39), author Carlo Mazzoni—who’s editor-in-chief of The Fashionable Lampoon—guides us through a history lesson on the stars who have sparkled most in Tinseltown.

The photo book is filled with black-and-white images of style legends, past and present, showing the inseparability of fame and fashion. It’s divided into two parts: leading ladies and memorable men. You’ll spot a dreamy, casual Brigitte Bardot on the cover sporting a wool sweater, jeans and black leather boots. Inside, fashion ingénues such as Bella Hadid and Taylor Swift take their places among icons like Audrey Hepburn and Jane Birkin. The men’s section opens with Mick Jagger donning a Panama hat to go with his signature pout. Artful interior pages include shots of James Dean, Sean Connery, Kit Harrington and James Franco.

Sponsored by the shoe and luxury leather brand Tod’s, the book is an enchanting, star-studded look at the fashions of the personalities whose style is truly eternal.

Swede

SUCCESS

We can thank Sweden for many exports, including super on-trend Lagom-style home design and a bevy of Skarsgårds. But as colder weather sets in, we’ll be especially grateful for Hestra gloves.

Made in Hestra, Sweden, by a family-owned company (brothers Claes and Svante Magnusson are at the helm now), they’ve been keeping hands warm through Sweden’s long dark winters since 1936. Hestra is known for making both ski and dress gloves with superior quality and style. The dress collection features men’s and women’s styles, from sporty to formal, made from fine leather and suede. The Hestra ski collection also boasts varieties that work just as well for a day around town as they do for a weekend on the slopes. Stop by Hubert White and get your hands on—and into—a pair of Hestra gloves.

Pants that ENHANCE

Want to get truly excited about a pair of trousers?

Find a pair that is every bit as functional as it is fashionable.

That’s how we feel about Meyer’s travel trousers.

For more than 55 years, Meyer has been a leader in European men’s trousers and it’s no surprise why. The travel trouser is carefully crafted in a wool and synthetic blend and is available in nine colors.

Whether you prefer a flat front or a five-pocket pant that combines the sporty elements of your favorite pair of jeans with the more formal attributes of trousers, both styles have stretch for supreme comfort and are wrinkle-free to keep you looking crisp all day. Best of all, these pants are machinewashable.

The home SRETCH You don’t want your style cramped, right?

As a modern man, you’re always on the go and want a shirt that’s comfortable, flexible and moves with your body. Desoto’s popular cut and sewn knit shirts are a wonderful choice.

The soft, breathable, 100 percent cotton is superelastic for total freedom of movement. The innovative fit of Desoto’s unique saddle shoulder and curved back yoke construction—combined with a wrinkle-resistant cotton-knit fabric—is our top recommendation.

book review

No one knows more about selling than HUBERT WHITE’s friend and colleague Jack Mitchell. His newly released book, Selling the Hug Your Customers Way (available on Amazon), is a powerful read, guaranteed to improve your business and enrich your life.

Why should I read this book if I’m not a salesperson?

We’re all selling something at various times in our lives. Doctors sell their healing ability when they’re with a new patient. Lawyers sell their persuasive talents and knowledge of the law.

When we apply to a college or go on a job interview, we’re selling our qualifications. Day after day, in all walks of life, most of us are selling something to someone.

How can customers find the right salesperson, one who won’t talk them into something that’s not right for them?

HUGS

Best-selling author and retail expert Jack Mitchell on shopper/seller relationships.

By Karen Alberg Grossman

12

You can usually get a feel for a sales associate in the first few minutes, if not seconds. First off, do they ask, “Can I help you?” which is the exact wrong way to begin a relationship, rather than greet you warmly with a smile, allowing you to indicate when you need assistance. Do they look you in the eye? Do they want to know your name and get a feel for who you are before suggesting something? The right salesperson won’t rush you if you don’t want to be rushed and won’t schmooze if you’re in a hurry. They’ll ask how to reach you in the future; they’ll give you a business card so you can reach them.

A good seller shows passion without pushing.

What do you look for when you hire sellers?

They’ve got to have integrity—something few psychological tests pick up.

They need to be positive and enthusiastic with a sincere desire to grow.

They have to genuinely like people and revere customer service. If you shop at HUBERT WHITE, these are the types of associates you’ll encounter.

What was the best sale you ever made?

Convincing Linda to marry me, 57 years ago.

MAGNETISM

Y

Actor Michael Fassbender exerts a powerful pull on and off the screen. Even as a bad guy, he’s got the goods.

ou’re forgiven if the name Michael Fassbender brings to mind his portrayal of the archvillain Magneto in the X-Men movies, starting with X-Men: First Class in 2011. That was an indelible performance—even though the star has dismissed it as merely “some dude shouting.”

But you can’t find all of this versatile actor’s tricks in the pages of Marvel comics. He’s played everything from Apple founder Steve Jobs (in the eponymous 2015 movie) to a vicious slaveowner (in 12 Years a Slave, 2013)—to cite two roles that have earned him Academy Award nominations.

Now 41, Fassbender was born April 2, 1977, in West Germany. But early on, his family traded an industrial neighborhood for Ireland’s County Kerry, where his parents ran Killarney’s West End House restaurant. At 17, after being cast in a play, Fassbender knew drama was his calling. So, it was off to the Drama Centre in London to learn his craft—until he dropped out in 1999 to tour with the Oxford Stage Company.

His film debut as a Spartan warrior in the 2007 fantasy war epic 300 proved he was on the right track. (Before that, you’d recognize him only for his role in a Guinness commercial.) And his adherence to a 600-calorie-a-day diet to prepare for the role of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands in Hunger (2008) shows how far he’s willing to go for an epic performance.

The year 2011 was especially big: That’s when Fassbender portrayed psychoanalyst Carl Jung in 2011’s A Dangerous

22

Method and Rochester in Jane Eyre, and his full-frontal-nude scene as a sex addict in Shame set tongues wagging that nature had not shortchanged him.

Critics say Fassbender is endowed with real talent too— despite recent clunkers like The Snowman and Assassin’s Creed—and works his best screen magic with roles calling for intensity. Indeed, Fassbender has a personal magnetism even Magneto might envy. People watch what he does and what he wears—he’s known to favor such brands as Polo Ralph Lauren, Prada and Louis Vuitton and has been seen in photo shoots in jeans, polos and designer shirts. Folks clamor for news of his personal life too, though there he’s a bit more guarded.

“I’m not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger until I feel the need to,” Fassbender once told a reporter. “Why would I?” Well, we’re curious! Word has it that Fassbender lives in Portugal with his wife, Swedish actress Alicia Vikander (an Oscar winner for 2015’s The Danish Girl), whom he met during the 2014 filming of The Light Between Oceans.

The couple would surely have been swarmed by paparazzi when they wed in October 2017 on the Spanish island of Ibiza—but they managed to keep news of the ceremony secret until afterward.

What more will we learn in years to come about this dynamo, on and off the screen? Whatever it is, it’s bound to be intense.

BEAUTY IS A BEAST Engineers loaded the Aston Martin DB11 with a monstrous V8 engine that takes you from 0–60 in four seconds—because you can’t get by on good looks alone.

Leave it to Aston Martin to figure out a formula proving that eight isn’t always less than 12.

The legendary British automaker has reinvented the mighty DB11, creating a lighter, easier-tohandle (who knew that was possible?) alternative to the previous 12-cylinder model. The new DB11—as well as its drop-top Volante trim—is powered by a German-made, 503-horsepower V8 engine that does the 0-60 mph sprint in a blistering four seconds—only one-tenth of a second off its sibling’s pace. And, of course, it’s packed with all the gadgets associated with the Aston Martin brand. Spoiler alert: This car is expected to make a bang in 2019’s Bond 25.

Choose Aston Martin Q, the bespoke treatment that will outfit the car with soft textured surfaces, patterned stitching, custom colors and more.

Say goodbye to chrome! Dark exterior trim, including the black detail of a purselipped grille, is a style 180 for Aston Martin.

The lightweight design of MercedesAMG’s twin-turbo V8 engine—tuned to Aston Martin’s specs— ensures the new DB11 has as much pep as its V12 sibling (though 503 horsepower also comes in handy).

The engine, combined with a new and unique exhaust system, creates the glorious roar that exotic sports car owners crave.

Luxurious details cover every square inch of the interior, from fullgrain leather seats to an automated up-andaway steering column.

Even closing the door is an event, thanks to suede pulls.

Radio and climate controls are adjusted through the MercedesBenz COMMAND infotainment system. In addition to the 8-inch display, the car’s other electronic highlights include a 360-degree camera and Wi-Fi.

A pair of hood vents and a black bezel around the LED headlamps are two of this beauty’s distinguishing features.

This performer is also practical. Folding side mirrors are fully automatic and have hidden LED indicator lamps.

If this car isn’t sexy enough, opt for the Volante V8. It has the same ride and features—in a convertible.

The DB11’s sculpted body is matched by the various cuts and styles of its 20-inch, 10-spoke wheels.

Whether the lights are on or off, smoked-out blade taillights give followers an aggressive stare.

Swiss BLISS! Verbier is the resort for you if you’re a royal—or want to ski and party like one

By Everet Potter Only the savviest American skiers seem to have a clue about the Swiss resort Verbier. For Alpine ski

Above: The Verbier Ski Resort boasts more than 250 miles of ski runs, many of which require equal amounts of athleticism and fearlessness to conquer; dining options abound.

culture, most of us think first of Zermatt, Austria’s St. Anton or maybe the Les Trois Vallées region of France.

Typically, as in my case, it’s only word of mouth, often from British friends, that leads to a visit to Verbier.

So here’s the report in a nutshell: For any traveler with a keen sense of style, a desire to be on the cutting edge of the European ski scene and a yearning for challenging pistes and chic accommodations, Verbier is the hands-down choice.

The youngest of the major Swiss ski resorts, Verbier attracts an international community of rich and perhaps not-quite-so-rich vacationers. The daily drill is simple: ski all day, party all night and then repeat.

“Go big or go home” is the unofficial rule for skiing and après-skiing in Verbier. In my experience, it’s a place to bring your spouse, partner or best friend and leave the kids at home.

Dubbed “the Aspen of the Alps,” Verbier does bear a resemblance to that Rocky Mountain spot. This moneyed, French-speaking Suisse Romande resort attracts a youngish crowd to its discos and on-mountain restaurants, its luxury shops and chic hotels, as well as its challenging slopes.

The Brits love it, often referring to it simply as “Verbs.” If you’re stargazing, you may catch a glimpse of such royals as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate); the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Harry and new bride Meghan); or Sarah, Duchess of York (Fergie, who was once employed here as a “chalet

girl,” a wintertime babysitter and chef, and co-owns a chalet with ex-husband Prince Andrew). Such non-royals as singer-songwriter James Blunt, singer Diana Ross and entrepreneur Richard Branson are also fair game for sightings. Those glimpses could be at lunch at Le Carrefour or amid the flashing disco lights at The Farm Club, which still sets the tone for nightlife 45 years after its founding.

THE SKIING Located in southwestern Switzerland in the canton of Valais, about a 90-minute drive or train ride from Geneva, Verbier is one of the largest lift-linked areas in the world. There are 93 lifts and an astonishing 256 miles of ski runs. Set at 8,200 feet, Verbier has reliable snow when lower-altitude resorts are running out of the stuff. With such a vast area, there’s a nearly endless menu for skiers.

On a clear morning, after a few warm-up runs, I love heading up to the top of Mont Fort by cable car. Here at the resort’s highest peak, about 10,500 feet, there is a quite literally breathtaking panorama that includes the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe at 15,774 feet. From here, I like to ski down into the moguls with a guide—by far the smartest, safest way to ski off-piste in Verbier—in areas like Tortin, Gentianes, Mont Fort and Plan du Fou. There are far tougher off-piste areas, but they are best left to far more agile skiers. Come for the Freeride World Tour in March and you can see them throwing themselves off cliffs in a staggering display of athleticism and daring.

After a challenging morning, I like nothing better

than a languid alfresco lunch at Chez Dany with classic fondue or perhaps Swiss rosti at La Marmotte, with the obligatory glass or two of the local Fendant wine.

THE VILLAGE & THE W VERBIER Verbier may look as if it’s been around for centuries, but in fact it was only really developed after World War II. It is a spacious resort with bright, uninterrupted views of the mountains.

The W Verbier is the essence of Verbier. Forget your notions of an urban W hotel. This property is a cluster of four low-lying chalet buildings, linked by glass atriums and incorporating local wood and stone—as cutting-edge design-wise as anything in the Alps. The W is close to Place Blanche, and most of Verbier’s shops, restaurants and nightspots are along the road between here and Place Centrale.

The W appeals to a well-heeled crowd ranging from ages 30 to 50-something, nearly all couples, and most of its 130 rooms are designed for a maximum of two guests. Those rooms are spacious enough, with large wooden balconies, blissful beds and floor-toceiling windows, with a gas fireplace visible from the

bathroom as well as the bedroom.

The essence of the W Verbier is that you get smart style as well as a two-minute walk to the gondola in the morning. The hotel’s AWAY Spa features an indoor pool that flows into an outdoor pool overlooking the Verbier Valley, a sauna, a hammam Jacuzzi and a fitness center. I’m partial to the Balinese massage, but the spa also has such esoteric rituals as a Bamboo & Lotus Scrub and even a Caviar Body Treatment.

The Catalan flavors at the Eat-Hola tapas bar are courtesy of culinary director Sergi Arola, whose Madrid eatery won two Michelin stars. It is by far my favorite option, but there’s also Carve Sushi and W Kitchen on offer for diners. I rarely stay up all night anymore but if you’re so inclined, the W’s Curve nightclub makes it happen just a few minutes away from your room.

How good is the hotel? In 2017, the World Ski Awards chose it as the World’s Best Ski Hotel. That’s a lofty pronouncement, so I’ll let you be the judge. But I would gladly return with my K2s and settle in for a week of the most rarefied Alpine pleasures in the world. And if there’s a royal at the table next to mine at Chez Dany, so much the better.

Below, clockwise from top left: Dining options abound at the W Verbier hotel, including the Eat-Hola tapas bar—which is under the leadership of Michelin-starred culinary director Sergi Arola; Swiss mountain towns host Bell Dorado festivals, in which the loud tone of cowbells are said to drive away evil spirits and ensure green pastures; the guest rooms at the hotel feature a large wooden balcony and gas fireplace; known as the “Aspen of the Alps,” Verbier offers lively discos, challenging slopes and luxurious shops that attract a crowd ranging from age 30 to 50-something.

droning ON! With confidence built into its name, Surefly is the ’copter that doubles as a drone.

By Timothy Kelly It’s like nouvelle cuisine cooked up a ’copter.

Planned for a 2019 debut at a price under $200,000, the Surefly from the Workhorse Group is powered by a BMW 600-cc, twin-cylinder generator engine that responds to joystick commands. You’ll need a pilot’s license to fly it, but because it’s classed as a light-sport aircraft, that credential requires fewer hours of training than does a standard helicopter pilot’s license.

42

Don’t yawn next year when your neighbor opens his garage to show off his self-driving car—and by all means don’t ask with a snarky smile, “How high does it fly?”

Fact is, by 2019 your own garage could be home to a self-driving vehicle that soars way above traffic. It’s the Surefly from the Ohio-based Workhorse Group, and it’s either a reimagined helicopter that can give you and your sweetheart a lift or a drone you can send home alone like a horse that knows the way. You decide.

Set to hit the market next year for a close-to-theground price of under $200,000, the Surefly VTOL (vertical-takeoff-and-landing) craft has been building buzz since its debut at the 2017 Paris Air Show. It’s not the only “air taxi” in development, but while the others use electric motors alone, Surefly is powered by a gas combustion engine. It boasts a range of 70 miles, an hour’s flight time per tank and a maximum lift capacity of 400

lbs.—that’s two adults, or one adult and some stuff— thanks to eight propellers fixed in contra-rotating pairs on four arms. And to give you peace of mind that this is not your last adventure, its makers make triple-sure of Surefly. There’s full computer and electrical redundancy, and if the gas-powered generator fails, two 7.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery packs take over to assure a safe landing. If those balk too, there’s even a ballistic parachute to waft you to the ground.

Did we say “garage?” With a fuselage and propellers crafted of carbon fiber, this nimble 1,100-pounder (for a helicopter, that’s svelte) can indeed fold its arms down to fit snugly into a standard car garage. And how high can Surefly fly? Workhorse puts its flight ceiling at 4,000 feet. For a personal vehicle so compact and nimble, that’s a lift for the spirits even in this tech-jaded age.

charcoal’s

HOT

It’s gritty. It’s grimy. And it may be just what you need to remove impurities from your skin, hair and teeth.

H

ere’s the kind of “facial” a guy can face: Charcoal, known for the briquets with which you barbecue and the sticks artists use for sketching, is being boosted these days as a skin-saving health and beauty treatment. Charcoal that’s “activated”— that is, heated with oxygen added—is said to absorb up to 200 times its weight in impurities, and that has inspired a craze several Hollywood celebs have embraced.

Many spas, for example, offer a treatment that incorporates crushed black charcoal in a soft powder mask. It employs a black,

44

pudding-like substance that is applied to the face with a brush and left there for 15 or 20 minutes. It is believed to remove toxins, unclog pores, clean out blackheads, peel away dead skin cells and leave you feeling super refreshed.

Scientific proof of the efficacy of this stuff? So far, it’s more or less in the spirit of Tug McGraw of the ’69 New York Mets, who said, “You gotta believe.” But dermatologists seem to agree that it does no real harm, and media folk who’ve tried it report they did come out feeling rejuvenated.

There are medical precedents of a kind, as emergency room doctors sometimes administer a charcoal paste for certain types of overdoses, relying on the porous charcoal to trap toxins and keep the body from absorbing them. And some studies have shown that activated charcoal supplements may help reduce indigestion and intestinal gas.

Fans of charcoal’s “beauty” benefits praise the cleaning and exfoliation effects of charcoal masks, and of course—this being the age of specialization—there are different treatments with different emphases: a mask aimed primarily at absorbing oil, for example, another that’s all about optimal skin texture and a third that’s a big-time acne cop. (If you have facial hair, you’ll want to exempt those zones of the face.) And the treatments require no downtime afterwards.

Does the hot trend stop with the skin? You know it doesn’t.

Some blogs insist that sprinkling a bit of black charcoal powder on your toothbrush before you brush can actually make teeth whiter. There are charcoal-fueled shampoos for shimmering hair, deodorants to banish B.O., and carbon peels to reduce disfiguring spots of pigmentation. (You’ll need to consult a dermatologist here.)

Is charcoal worth the fuss? They say “beauty”—or rugged handsomeness—is only skin deep. But after all, it’s your skin— and hair and teeth—that people see.

YOUR OYSTER Open up and explore all the flavors these beautifully briny bivalves have to offer.

By Daria Meoli

Y

ou’ve got to hand it to the oyster; it’s nothing if not diverse. The marvelous mollusk comes in more than 150 varieties, each with its own distinct taste and texture. For those looking to expand their oyster horizons or try these slippery little suckers for the first time this season, here are a few—forgive us—pearls of wisdom.

While these gems of the sea can be enjoyed year-round, oyster aficionados agree that the briny bivalves are at their peak flavor between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. From the Hog Island Sweetwater to the First Light, the clever names for oyster varieties seem to go on forever. This nomenclature reflects where the oysters live, the type of water they filter and the way they are handled. However, there are only five distinct species of oysters found in the U.S.: Pacific, Atlantic, Kumamoto, European flat and Olympic.

Geography matters too. Oysters raised on the West Coast, such as the Kusshi, Raspberry Point, Goose Point and Royal Miyagi varieties, tend to be sweet, creamy, round and plump with deep edges. Their East Coast counterparts, including Wellfleets, Blue Points, Salt Ponds and Ram Islands, are usually brinier, chewier and narrower.

Avoid an oyster if the shell is cracked, has holes or is open and will not close to the touch. Once the mollusk passes the shell test, the oyster meat should be plump and juicy and have a healthy sheen.

To really taste each variety’s nuances, eat oysters raw. Whether you are ordering them at an oyster bar or preparing them at home, they should be kept alive until the moment before they are consumed. If you buy a bag of freshly harvested oysters and some are dead, all is not lost. These oysters can be grilled, fried or enjoyed in a stew or chowder.

What to quaff with oysters? During the Civil War, Union General McClellan’s slowness caused Lincoln’s Secretary

of War to grumble that he was goofing off instead of pursuing Rebs. “This champagne and oysters on the Potomac must be stopped,” said Edwin Stanton—but even he couldn’t kill that classic pairing.

Besides champagne, Vinho Verde or even Sauvignon Blanc are other good mollusk matches. But so are beers, such as India pale ales or fruity wheat beers—or porters, which offer a delicious break from the norm. A dry martini also pairs nicely.

Whether you choose to savor these salty treats with a splash of lemon, with a hint of hot sauce or smothered in mignonette, there is one rule for eating oysters: Do not swallow them in one gulp.

Oysters should be chewed to enjoy all the tightly packed taste. In the center of the oyster is a disc of muscle with a sweetness similar to scallops, and the belly pops with salty liquid. Chewing will mix these flavors together nicely.

One last tip: Eating oysters can feel awkward, but slurp with confidence and don’t waste a drop of the salty goodness.

MAINE BELONS

WELLFLEETS

6 BRINY BITES MOON SHOALS

Grown near Cape Cod, these hearty, meaty oysters are a bit rare but worth the hunt. Biting into the meat offers a burst of flavor with a creamy, citrus, vanillalike finish.

Home: Massachusetts

KUMAMOTO

Originally a Japanese cultured oyster, this fruity and firm variety is now common in the Northwest. The Kumamotos are mild and sweet and have a melonlike flavor that makes them ideal for first-time oyster eaters.

Home: Washington

Belons, a type of European flat, were originally brought to Maine in the ’50s by scientists hoping to repopulate the region’s oyster beds.

Today they are flourishing off the Atlantic coast. Maine Belons are harvested by divers and have a strong flavor with a metallic-tinny finish.

These bivalves are not for the faint of heart.

Home: Maine

COFFIN BAY KING

Grown off the West Coast of Australia, Coffin Bay King oysters grow for six years instead of the usual 18 months and have up to 10 times more meat than the average oyster. While currently available only in Australia, Europe and Asia, this expensive delicacy (about $74 for one) can make for a sweet indulgence on overseas trips.

Home: Australia

Wellfleets are exposed to the open air on the beach as the tides recede. This forces them to hold their shells closed tightly until the tide returns, giving their meat a firm texture. It takes between two to three years to cultivate these wild, potent, briny oysters.

Home: Massachusetts

APALACHICOLA

These Gulf Coast oysters are harvested right off the bulge of the Florida panhandle. This area has been called one of the “oyster miracle places.”

Apalachicola is the last place in the United States where wild oysters are still harvested by fishermen in small boats using tongs.
