This is another collaboration that feel right. Michael Bastian's menswear collections have always been right-on in capturing the classic preppy spirit in a contemporary way that guys will actually want to wear. The only problem is that the prices are so jaw-dropping as to place even a basic polo out of reach of most of us.
Bastian's new collection for Gant is heavy on quality but low(er) on price. Personally, I still find a knit tie at $145 and a polo shirt at $115 obnoxiously out of touch with the new consumer reality, but I suppose that's emblematic of the preppy spirit. When the whole kit and kaboodle inevitably goes on sale, I may grab a few things.
