The Launch

Derringer Friday

After all the weekend's flag waving, we won't blame you for still seeing stars and stripes. But a new brand out of the nation's capital has other patterns in mind. From seersucker and speckled raw indigo silk to Zegna linen in green plaid, Derringer Friday brings a fresh perspective to ties and pocket squares from two dapper gents in one of the most suited cities in America. Each piece is handmade using an unlined four-fold construction and finished with gingham tipping—a detail aimed to please creatives and congressmen alike. We especially like the line's signature angled ends. The eclectic and versatile collection is perfectly matched for your summer lifestyle, whether that means date night at the beach or air-conditioned hours at the office.
