SIGNALS
Getting back to my boot roots, Sleepy Hollow and menswear in Bedford. Summer SIGNALS in full swing.
Welcome to SIGNALS, a collection of thoughts on style, life and links from around the internet. It’s officially beach reading season and a reminder that reading physical books is the most enjoyable format.
I. A New Rivay Store in Born
If you’ve been to the village of Bedford, NY, you might have seen the tiny but meaningful Rivay Men's Shop. This summer, the brand upgraded to a larger space just a few doors down. The new shop is open and better showcases the collection in addition to allowing room for vintage items, accessories and cool found objects. There’s also a cashwrap which doubles perfectly as a bar, and if you know Rivay, then you know what that will mean.
As a brand, Rivay hits all the right notes. The line manages to make timeless, masculine clothing that fits well. It’s wearable and looks classic. I don’t think there’s another brand that gets a higher share of my wardrobe.
With this new space, founders Jon and Katie continue to show their good taste and ability to world-build despite being such a small company. As always, I’m impressed with their efforts. If you find yourself near Bedford, this shop is a worthy diversion.
II. The Haunting
You’ve likely seen the famous par-3 16th. There may be no green in golf that cries out “try your luck” more than the 16th at Sleepy Hollow. With views of the Hudson, the famed Short template, its moat green, and a thumbprint for good measure, it’s about as much fun as you can have on a golf course. Together with The Old Ghosts, I am organizing an open event at Sleepy Hollow Country Club on August 11th for The Haunting. So if you’ve always wanted to see this in real life, this is your chance.
