Hit the Open

ROAD

By the time you read this it is our hope that this sign will have been permanently removed from the front of our shop. Between the rennovation of the Nicollet Mall and the road construction and upgrade of 8th Street, we have had constant construction outside our front door for more than four years and we are ready for a break from sidewalk and road closures that make it difficult for our friends and clients to get to Hubert White.

THE ROAD IS NOW VERY OPEN! It all looks great and is very pedestrian and vehicle friendly—take a drive or walk down 8th to see how nice the completed new projects are.

While you are at it stop in, say hi and see our beautiful new collections.

Once again this season, this issue features our staff of style pros answering a series of questions. The final question was how they wish Minnesota men would dress. It seemed unanimous that we all would have our friends and clients dressing with more care, interest and creativity. But then that is why we are here, to help you achieve that level of tasteful, personalized dress. And what does this group of style mavens want to wear this fall? It seems to be Golden Goose sneakers with a KJUS layering piece under an Ermenegildo Zegna Techmerino jacket with a soft Maurizio Baldassari coat over their arm.

Hope you enjoy our magazine and I look forward to seeing you in our shop.

solving your fashion dilemmas

The heat in my office gets unbearable in winter: How do I simultaneously dress for cold weather and overheated offices?

It’s called layering, and it’s the smartest way to dress in winter. Rather than a bulky sweater, try one of our fine gauge merino turtlenecks or a cashmere crew, over which you can wear a beautiful unconstructed sportcoat. Or make that second layer a vest: From cable knits to lightweight quilted styles, we offer many fashion-forward options that are both comfortable and on trend.

Tip: Wear a top-quality performance tee under your first layer for extra comfort and temperature control; fabric technology has advanced tremendously in recent seasons so that a simple tee can keep you warmer in the cold and cooler in your overheated office.

I’ve been living in sneakers all summer, and I dread the thought of squeezing my feet into rigid dress shoes. Any fall footwear options that are both comfortable and stylish?

Yes! The footwear market feels your pain and is offering many variations of hybrid shoes that combine a beautiful soft leather upper with a comfort bottom. Soft leather or suede slip-ons and lace-ups are just as comfortable as canvas sneakers…and notably elevate your style.

Come in and check out our fabulous assortment of fall footwear.

Why do I need to buy expensive underwear when it doesn’t show?

Let us count the ways: 1. A great fit. The right base layer makes everything you wear over it look better. Pant styles these days are slimmer, and your old bulky underwear could ruin your look. 2. For comfort. New luxury performance fabrics feel incredibly soft and breathable. 3. To save the planet. Many tech fabrics are sustainably sourced. 4. For easy care. Tech fabrics come out of the washer and dryer looking like new. 5. For their many amazing properties. The wicking, anti-microbial, quick-dry, odor-control and temperature-control of these undies make them worth it. 6. When was the last time you replaced the underwear in your drawer? If your boxers and briefs are old, frayed, stretched out and embarrassingly gray, it’s time! And 7.

Wearing the good stuff will make you look and feel younger and sexier. Need we say more?

DRESS LIKE An Egyptian Just because they’re made by a company from sensible, straight-laced Sweden, don’t think that Eton shirts are all serious. But while Eton is earnest about its product, their shirts can be conservative or playful. For example, their fall/ winter collection features an Egyptian theme.

According to Christopher Donahue, Eton’s Sales Director North and Central America, the collection is extensive and varied. “The collection is large and symbolic of Ancient Egypt. Our design team did some creative interpretations, so some references to Egypt are bold and some are more subtle.” Bright and original, the designs are always stylish and never boring. So check out Eton’s Egyptian collection here at Hubert White and learn how much fun the Swedes can be.

Keep It CLEAN As we ponder the weighty questions of life, two come to mind: Can technology and sustainability co-exist? And is it really possible to find a great dry cleaner?

It’s easy to reply with a fashionably pessimistic “probably not,” but the answer is actually “yes”—and the proof is the same. Like a holy grail, the perfect dry cleaner has been an elusive pursuit for many. But Mulberrys Garment Care in Minneapolis is the long-awaited business of our dreams; they’re the pro’s pro, focusing on providing customers with the highest-quality and convenient dry cleaning and laundry service possible. Their award-winning team has decades of experience, which is why they’re consistently rated one of the best dry cleaners in Minneapolis.

As for the first question above: All of Mulberrys’ garment and laundry packaging is recyclable and/or reusable, helping the city stake its claim as one of the greenest places in the U.S. Their cleaning lab and stores (Mulberrys has seven locations in the Twin Cities area) are technically advanced and wind-powered.

Now that we’ve finally found a great dry cleaner and proven that sustainability and technology can thrive together, we can go back to questioning the meaning of life.

It’s Only NATURAL The brothers at Faherty, Alex and Mike, have taken casual wear to another level. They’ve taught us that you can hang out at the beach, relax and let loose and still feel and look good. Check out their line of hoodies, sweaters, five-pockets and more at Hubert White and you’ll notice a difference in their fabrics right away: They’re extra soft and comfortable.

But there’s more to the Faherty story than just great clothing.

Alex and Mike grew up along the New Jersey shore and learned to appreciate the rhythms of the planet and the balance of nature.

That’s why, since they started their company in 2013, they’ve been committed to leaving as few environmental footprints as possible.

“We’ve hired a sustainability coordinator,” Alex says. “We don’t use plastic packaging or clips; in fact, there’s no plastic anywhere at company headquarters. All our tags and labels are made from renewable materials.”

So the brothers will not only make you look good outdoors, they’re helping to keep the outdoors looking good for you.

A Collector’s CELLAR Every collection has a holy grail, the Gutenberg Bible or the Honus Wagner baseball card of the hobby. Life-long wine connoisseurs and budding oenophiles have their dreams too, and author and renowned sommelier Chiara Giannotti has put together the ultimate vino checklist in The Perfect Wine Cellar: The Ultimate Guide for Great Wine Collectors (Rizzoli, $62). But this tome is much more than a catalogue of extraordinary—and often rare—vintages. Giannotti takes readers through the history and culture of wine collecting and explains industry trends and traditions. If you’re looking to up the value and prestige of your collection, the book also has plenty of expert guidance and inspiration for building an enviable cellar, including which vineyards and auction houses typically have hidden treasures. By the volume’s end, The Perfect Wine Cellar proves that collecting is more than just a hobby—it’s about passion, sophisticated flavors and investments in pleasure.

Going to THE WOLVES At 33, the Timberwolves’ Ryan Saunders is the youngest head coach in the NBA, although he’d rather be known as the winningest. But one thing’s for sure: He’ll be one of the best dressed. With Hubert White as his go-to store, that’s a slam dunk.

An assistant coach with the team since 2014, Saunders took the Wolves’ top job in May. With it comes huge responsibilities and an image to maintain. “You want to present an image that people will follow,” Saunders says.

“Dressing the part is the first step, and the gents at Hubert White do a great job in helping me feel confident. It seems whenever you feel you look good, you’re mentally sharper.” Saunders has been a customer for years, first visiting Hubert White with his dad, coaching legend Flip Saunders. It’s safe to say a winning coaching philosophy AND a keen sartorial sense run in the family. “I like to keep things simple with solid colors, white and light blue shirts and bold statement ties,” Saunders says. “Hubert White absolutely understands the image. They’re a group of gentlemen who have class and understand class and how it can be contagious.” Now, Saunders has the job of translating that energy into wins on the hardwood, and Hubert White is doing our part to help him.

DWYANE WADE Recently retired basketball star Dwyane Wade takes bold fashion shots—and usually scores. By Darius Amos Dwyane Wade played above the rim for 16 NBA seasons, but that’s all over now. The 2019 season was the hoopster’s last, and he had the clarity and class to go out while still a dynamo. What decidedly isn’t over is Wade’s era as a much-watched public figure, active in supporting worthy causes and often capturing cameras’ eyes because of his keen sense of style.

Life hasn’t been all fame and glory. Wade grew up in a rough neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, often surrounded by violence and crime. His parents split up when he was just 4 months old, and his mother was in and out of jail for drug violations. But throughout those troubling times, Wade turned to basketball as a distraction. He gravitated toward the Windy City’s pro team, the Bulls, and a player named Jordan. But he really fell in love with the sport while watching his older stepbrother play on his high school team. By the time it was Wade’s turn to play high school hoops, coaches and scouts already saw his passion and recognized his potential.

“You definitely start thinking about the journey and the beginning and how it all started,” Wade told the Los Angeles Times on the eve of his retirement.

Wade went on to play at Marquette University, earning first-team All-America honors during his junior season in 2003. That year, he carried the team to the Conference USA crown and its first Final Four appearance in 26 years. He was selected fifth overall by the Miami Heat in the 2003 NBA draft and was named to the All-Rookie Team in 2004.

Draft night was memorable for another reason: Wade’s oversized navy windowpane suit that, by today’s standards, had too many buttons and too much flowy fabric.

“It’s funny when you look back at suits—nobody was doing tight stuff,” Wade said in an interview with the sports culture website Bleacher Report. “The hip-hop culture was big then. For the time, I was fresh. It wasn’t as classic as I wanted it to be.”

What did turn out to be classic was Wade’s teaming with Shaquille O’Neal, the league’s most dominant player, whom Miami acquired before the 2004–05 season. “I’m here to support you,” O’Neal said to him in their first conversation, as Wade later told Sports Illustrated. “I’m here to make you one of the best players in the world.”

Maybe Shaq knew Wade was already on that path. He finished his career at age 37 with three championship rings (including one with O’Neal), 13 All-Star selections, a scoring title, a Finals MVP trophy, two Olympic medals (gold in 2008) and a host of other accolades and hardware. One of his most defining moments happened off the court in 2010, when Wade, by then the face of the Heat franchise, checked his own ego and stardom at the door (as well as probably millions of dollars) and helped Miami attract an even bigger star, LeBron James.

“How many guys are willing to do that?” former Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said at the time. “He has incredible emotional intelligence.”

Spoelstra forgot to mention style IQ as well. Wade matured after his draft-day blunder and has been building a fashion legacy ever since.

After he signed his first contract and took care of his family, his first big-money purchase was a suit; following his first endorsement deal, he bought a custom suit. In 2006 Wade hired a stylist—who’s with him to this day—to help polish his image and build a new wardrobe filled with such brands as Valentino, Burberry and Tom Ford. Today he has a line of ties, bow ties and pocket squares with The Tie Bar, and he’s often seen wearing a Dolce & Gabbana blazer for a clean, tailored look or donning a Dsquared leather moto for something a little edgier. This past year, he hosted the seventh annual fashion show fundraiser, “A Night on the RunWade,” in Miami.

Though he and his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, continue to wow on the red carpet—he was a slam dunk at a recent Metropolitan Museum of Art after-party in a slick black suit, T-shirt and sneakers—Wade isn’t afraid to take fashion risks (and the jabs that come with them). In fact, Union has joined former NBA player Kobe Bryant and others in a viral video roasting Wade for some of his outfits.

A leader on the court and in front of the lens, Wade, whose “roller-coaster journey” will be documented in a memoir due this fall, also quietly gives back to the community. To see how, check out another viral video produced by Budweiser to honor the man of the hour.

The four-minute set features five guests who share the unique ways Wade touched their lives. Among the speakers: a student whose family couldn’t afford to send her to college, a sister of a young shooting victim and Wade’s mother. Be sure you have a tissue or two handy.

UNCENSORED Photographer Frank Habicht captured the ironies, surprises and joys of Britain’s capital in the 1960s, when it rocked the world. By Donna Rolando

What a contrast! London, a city steeped in bowler-hatted tradition with a history dating back to Roman times, was shedding its buttoned-up reputation to embrace the spirit of freedom in a revolution that spanned all aspects of life—love, fashion, music and culture.

In the ’60s, as the usually staid capital of the British Commonwealth mixed with pop culture in a way sure to raise the Queen’s eyebrows, the whole world was watching. Millions were ready to groove along with London’s mod crowd as an advance guard of worldwide hippiedom. And there, capturing this profound social change with unbridled passion, was German photographer Frank Habicht.

Today he has traded an international career for life in New Zealand, celebrating the landscape and community around the Bay of Islands. But when the ’60s revolution was in full swing, Habicht was London-based, with an audience throughout Europe in publications such as Esquire and The Guardian, and

was working as a stills photographer for film directors including Roman Polanski.

For an artist devoted to illustrating life’s contrasts, the Swinging ’60s provided endless opportunity to explore, as Habicht put it, “what hides behind the human soul.” Some of his most celebrated photos captured pop idols and film stars, such as rock musicians Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones, actress Vanessa Redgrave and actors Christopher Lee and Marty Feldman. But Habicht turned the lens with equal devotion to the girl next door, in the latest groovy, psychedelic fashions such as miniskirts and go-go boots, or in nothing at all.

It was realism, uncensored, by a camera genius highlighting a great city’s diversity, spanning, as one writer attested, from “protests to private parties, markets to mansions, film sets to festivals.” He used black-andwhite film as though fearful that color might compromise authenticity (despite the color-besotted fashions of Carnaby Street),

and he produced a treasure trove of artistry worthy of many exhibits and photo books. The latest such volume, entitled As It Was: Frank Habicht’s Sixties, is available internationally at bookstores and art galleries and on Amazon.

Released at a time when Britain is again in the throes of social change, As It Was contains never-before-published images that show the same candidness that marks his famous work.

Critics prize Habicht for poising himself at the center of a social storm. It seems the photographer wouldn’t have it any other way.

He admits that life’s complexities astound him, and that his photos can blur the lines of reality and fantasy, “capturing togetherness, despair, rebellion, isolation, joy and sadness, surrounded by beauty and drama.” Some say digging into life’s ironies is how Habicht reflected the restless heart of a city so masterfully.

Whether you’re a hippie in spirit or just an appreciator of 60s fashion, As It Was is a coffee-table addition that’s unlikely to gather dust.

Opposite page, clockwise from top: “Marriage a la Mode” (top) shows a ’60s remake of wedding tradition, which Habicht instinctively captures in his truer-than-life style; youth and maturity, pop culture and traditional workplace garb come together as part of everyday life; floppy hats and starburst eye makeup (left) reflect a generation’s independent spirit.

SKI & STAY in style

Six new luxe hotels promise to expand your idea of what a ski resort can be—even if you’ve already been to the big-name spots.

By Everett Potter

yo

For many of us, the formula for an unforgettable ski vacation is simple: challenging slopes, scenic splendor, a measure of charm and luxury in the base village and, not least, a lodging experience that sparkles with the latest in the art and science of luxury resort hospitality. If you’re in this group, there are half a dozen spots here just waiting to round out your ski education.

Though some have been welcoming skiers for almost a century, all have recently opened brand-new luxury resort hotels. See which ones you need to add to your travel agenda. After all, doesn’t a day of super skiing deserve a night of unparalleled comfort?

FLIMS, SWITZERLAND

Flims, like its sister resorts Laax and Falera, is not exactly high on most American lists of hip European ski resorts. That’s a shame, especially for snowboarders, because this area in the Glarus Alps in the heart of Switzerland offers some of the best terrain for shredding in the world. It has a serious terrain park, as well as a half pipe and 136 miles of varied terrain, enough to keep snowboarders of all stripes happy, with ample backcountry for those who need an extra challenge. The resort, which has long been pretty much the domain of Swiss and German skiers and riders, elevated its lodging offerings this past winter with the opening of The Hide Hotel Flims.

The guest rooms and public spaces of this member of Design Hotels are a far cry from the Heidi chalets of yore, with striking geometric touches courtesy of designer Erik Nissen Johansen and an overall feeling that is more Zurich chic than Alpine. Swiss star chef Andi Tschanz oversees the two restaurants, The Deli and The Grill, while a 10,000-square-foot spa signifies that wellness is taken seriously here.

You may have skied trendy and massive Courchevel or Val d’Isère, but you can’t say you’ve really skied France until you’ve hit the slopes of Megève. Located in the nation’s southeastern section near the Italian and Swiss borders, Megève is an intimate resort that emerged as a fashionable ski destination way back in the 1920s. The Rothschild family in particular set the high-born rustic tone here several generations ago, opening the Domaine du Mont d’Arbois hotel to house their friends. The property will be reborn as a Four Seasons resort later this year. The attractions for a certain set of Parisians are the uncrowded slopes, the vistas of neighboring Mont Blanc, impeccable grooming and a medieval town center that has a bevy of rustic chic restaurants. If you’ve skied Europe and hated the mad scramble at lift lines and runs that are as jammed as the Champs-Elysées on a Friday afternoon, Megève is for you. It’s a mountain of relaxed runs and long lunches. That said, not everything is old-fashioned here. The newly opened Le Cerf Amoureux is a chalet-style hotel, cool and understated, with bleached wood and neutral fabrics. Designed by Lisa Konckier, who is responsible for Paris’ Hotel de Nell, the property has just 12 rooms. Mont Blanc views, a yoga studio, a spa and a screening room aid with post-ski relaxation.

HOTEL LE MASSIF, COURMAYEUR, ITALY

While many Americans have skied chic Cortina in the Dolomites, far fewer have hit the slopes of Courmayeur. Located on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc tunnel, which connects to Chamonix in France, the lifts top out at 9,000 feet and offer 25 miles of pistes, which are some of the sunniest in Europe. If you’re an expert skier, head to Entrèves to ride a three-stage cable car, the Skyway Monte Bianco, to the top of Punta Helbronner. Not only are the views of Mont Blanc amazing from the 11,400-foot summit, but you’ll also have access to seriously challenging off-piste routes. Courmayeur is a lot smaller and quieter than neighboring Chamonix and has long been the lair of the Milanese social set. The main drag, Via Roma, is where you’ll find the bars, restaurants and shops. As with Cortina, many of the well-heeled Italian guests never seem to ski but are more interested in the stylish evening passeggiata. Check into the newly opened Hotel Le Massif in the heart of that town, a few minutes’ walk from the lifts.

A “Leading Hotels of the World” offering, Le Massif was designed

by Italian architects Fabrizio Gandolfo and Inart Studio. The décor of the 78 guest rooms and suites utilizes wood paneling and stone, and the hotel has a dedicated ski concierge, a spa that offers “forest bathing,” two bars and two restaurants. A great guest perk is access to the private, slope-side restaurant and club, La Loge du Massif.

ALTA, UTAH, U.S.A.

Deer Valley and Park City have their charms, but Alta is the bomb.

Just 40 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, this resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon is treasured for its simplicity, loyal skiers and powder that can easily exceed 500 inches in a good year. The fact that it still bans snowboarders is a major attraction for many skiers.

Linked to neighboring Snowbird, which does permit snowboarding, it provides some of the best and most challenging terrain in the U.S. “If you see it, you can ski it” is the rule of thumb. Skiers spend all day in the trees and then enjoy a low-key après-ski scene. Devotees stay at lodges such as the Alta Lodge and the Rustler Lodge, where the staff knows them by name and they can expect the same laid-back comforts year after year. What Alta has not been known for is luxury or change, but now both have arrived. The completely reborn Snowpine Lodge, built at the site of the original Snowpine Lodge from 1941, opened last January with 58 luxurious rooms and suites, many with balconies overlooking the surrounding canyon. The first true luxury resort at Alta, Snowpine Lodge offers ski-in/ski-out access via the new Snowpine ski lift.

JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING, U.S.A.

There are skiers who have never skied Jackson Hole because they’ve heard it’s a big mountain that is really tough to navigare. The truth is that it is a really tough mountain to ski well. But every skier who’s at least an intermediate will have a memorable time at this monster in the heart of the Tetons. The daredevils can make the leap off Courbet’s Couloir or choose from several dozen chutes and double black-diamond bump runs to test their mettle. There’s also the matter of 3,000 acres of backcountry skiing available for the big dogs. The rest of us can enjoy some exceptionally long groomed runs that start at the 10,400foot summit and allow us to really get our speed on. All of this earns one time in downtown Jackson, where cowboys meet trust funders. Go shoot pool at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, eat at some of the finest restaurants in the Rockies, such as Rendezvous Bistro or Bin22, and go shopping for custom cowboy boots. The Caldera House, which opened this past winter, was built in a sweet spot at the base of the Jackson Hole Tram to the tune of $100 million. It offers just eight suites, some as large as 5,000 square feet. It also houses a revived Old Yellowstone Garage, a favorite Jackson Hole eatery. The design collective Commune is responsible for the look, a mélange of stone, glass and wood that is comforting and avant-garde at the same time.

SNOWMASS, COLORADO, U.S.A.

This one is 10 miles down valley from Aspen but it might as well be a world away. The family-friendly resort has never had the glitz and fame of its better-known sister. Yet it easily outpaces Aspen in terms of terrain and expansiveness. Snowmass is a beast of a mountain, with some 3,362 acres with varied terrain for every skier or snowboarder. Skiers who get bored in Aspen after two days can spend a week here and still find new runs on their last day. For a long time Snowmass lacked an inviting base village, a welcoming place where you’d want to spend the night instead of fleeing back up the road to Aspen. Now, after years of making do with a hodgepodge collection of condos and shops, Snowmass has that village, a $600 million development that’s heavy on luxury and skier-friendly amenities. One of the key components is the Limelight Hotel, with its LA vibe, an indoor/outdoor pool, a climbing wall and a cool design that would not be out of place in Aspen itself. More restaurants, shops and lodging are set to open this winter, as Snowmass finally gets its moment in the sun.

SHIRT COLLAR

The wing—a stand-up collar with downward points—is the most formal style, while the mandarin or band collar offers a more contemporary look. Prefer to wear a necktie instead of a bow tie? The wide spread collar is a great option.

TIPS

SHIRT FRONT

Every man can look incredible in a tuxedo—as long as it’s the right one.

By Darius Amos Most of us aren’t walking the red carpet or accepting an Academy Award. But dressing to the nines for a wedding or gala is something we’ve all done—and it’s likely you’ll attend another formal event where looking sharp is part of the agenda. Of course, you don’t get to wear a tuxedo every day (not even George Clooney does that), so when you invest in the ultimate piece of formal wear, its style and fit should be nothing shy of impeccable. Consider these things before you suit up for something special:

A shirt front with no placket and concealed buttons is clean and contemporary, while a pleated front worn with studs adds textural interest. For a classic, elegant look, try a smooth bib-front shirt, perhaps in a piqué fabric, with room for studs.

JACKET LAPEL

You know the choices: peak, shawl and notch. Wear a silk-faced peak lapel for highly formal occasions and a rounded shawl style when you want to soften your look. While versatile, a notch lapel is the least formal for a tuxedo.

JACKET SHOULDER

Don’t overlook this detail. The padding of your tux jacket should not extend beyond the tip of your shoulders (no shoulder divot). If it does, your jacket is too big.

JACKET CUT

While you can’t go wrong with a traditional-cut jacket, a modern fit, which is trimmer through the chest and shoulder, offers fashion-forward styling and a flattering silhouette—and it’s still appropriate for any black-tie event.

SLEEVE LENGTH

When paired with a properly fitted shirt, the jacket sleeve should show a half-inch of the shirt cuff—just enough for others to see your cuff links.

JACKET LENGTH

We’ll work with you if you’re an NBA center, but for the regular guy, the piece should cover your backside. Another guide: With your arms at your side, the jacket should end between your thumb’s knuckle and base.

PANT LEG WIDTH

Find a cut that flatters your waist, thighs and calves. Pay attention to how the fabric drapes—anything too tight will create wrinkles, while too much material will be baggy.

PANT LEG LENGTH

Pants should have half or no break. See your tailor immediately if they are bunching at your ankles (or if your ankles are showing). The half break is the standard, showing a slight dent where the hem rests on the top of the shoe.

SHOES

HUB.fw19.Tuxedo Fit.indd 48

Patent loafers and oxfords, traditionally worn with a tux, are best suited for the most formal events. Both styles in suede or polished leather will give you a lowkey look.
