The Well-Curated Closet

March 24, 2020 By Bob McClellan

We sure hope everyone is doing as well as you can during these interesting times.  Here at the Thread Shed, we’re keeping it in the road and standing at the ready to help you in any way you feel we can. 

While it’s doubtful that you’ll be going many places anytime soon, it’s always good to give you inspiration for another day while you’re sitting at home at your desk.

Featured here is a sophisticated look that will help you stand out when you get back on the cocktail party circuit.

Spring is about to go full bloom and you don’t want to miss it!

March 13, 2020 By Bob McClellan

One of the reasons we love this season so much is the colors and the textures.  It signals warmer and longer days are upon us along with a more casual attitude.  But as this outfit from Julian shows, casual doesn’t mean sloppy.  For your upcoming gatherings this Spring let a soft coat and a pocket square lead the way!

Simple elegance ….

July 15, 2015 By Bob McClellan

There really is something about a white sport shirt. It goes with everything.  It can be dressed up with a blazer or dressed down with denim and chinos.  Like Robin Hood with his quiver of arrows, the white shirt is a must have in your arsenal of dress.  And more than one is all the better.
Meet our new sport shirts from Forrest Lennard.  They are the creation of our old friend, Woody Appleby and his wife, Adria.  And what they have created is the ultimate elegant yet casual white sport shirt.  There are no bells and whistles to a Forrest Lennard shirt, just quality craftsmanship that will be your pleasure to own.
While there are no gimmicks, a great deal of thought has been given to the details …. an eight button front, a split mitered yoke (to follow the natural line of the shoulder) and mother of pearl buttons.  These 100% cotton shirts also feature a “honeycomb” fabric.  It’s an unusual weave that lends itself to comfort and a flattering drape.  The fit is considered “down the middle”….it’s not Euro skin tight, but it’s not Polo Big Shirt either.
We currently carry two models…the “Brandon” button down and the “Whitt” spread collar.  Both are bound to work with whatever mood strikes you.

Spring is in full bloom!!!

March 20, 2015 By Bob McClellan

It looks like the polar vortex has left and the sun has arrived.   And none too soon we think. It’s time for the heavy wools to give way to cotton, linen and color.  Lots and lots of color.  With that in mind, M. S. McClellan is pleased to introduce some of the first arrivals for the spring/summer season that we feel certain will be just the remedy for the winter blahs….
A sartorial observation….make note in these photos that if you do not wear a tie, the pocket square can often be an easy and colorful alternative.

Exploded gingham popover sportshirt from Gitman Bros.  The popover is a 1960’s classic started by Gant.  Notice that the placket only goes half the way down..hence you pull it over your head.  It tucks in cleaner, but it can also be worn untucked.  We also have this shirt available in linen options as well.

Conquering the Polar Vortex…..

November 14, 2014 By Bob McClellan

It would appear that the cold weather has arrived and it might be here for some time.  It makes for festive holidays, egg nog and what not with the possibility of getting snowed in somewhere remote.  While others are out raiding Kroger for bread and milk, you should take a look at our new outerwear that will help you endure and survive the Vortex in style….. and while you’re at it why not throw on a colorful scarf from our many resources!
