That’s what these are for. Every year, people gather together in the early evening on a Sunday in February to watch some sportsball. A competitive match between professional sportsball organizations mandates a time of merriment and consumption, and this is best to be done in proper style. A style befitting the event on the television and appropriate to the crowd. You want to be comfortable, but not sloppy. Athletically-inspired, but not wearing head to toe team gear. Below are some helpful picks to toe the sideline, inspired by a couple of professional competitive organizations of which just happen to be based in (or near) The City by the Bay, and The Paris of the Plains. What to wear if you love The City by the Bay [Style Scenario: Sportsball Championship Event Thing! | Dappered.com] The Shirt: [Banana Republic Core Temp Henley in White – $35.70]( ($60). If two Sportsball teams were to wear the same colors, Sportsball fans would have a terrible time following the Sportsball action. Often, a white alternative competitive jersey is worn, instead of the usual saturated colored attire. This appears to be the case on Supreme Sportsball day after Saturday (also known as Supreme Sportsball day before Monday), so, put on a white shirt with subtle texture and detail to match. The well-revered core-temp fabric henley from BR fits the bill and will help you keep your cool when they’re threatening to score a touch-goal. The Pants: [Levi’s 512 Slim Taper in Harvest Gold – $37](. Ah yes. Perhaps a brandification nod to the naming rights associated with the large structure in which a Sportsball team from The City by the Bay may or may not compete in? IT’S NOT BONOBOS STADIUM CLIVE. At least, not yet. Opt for a lighter shade of gold instead of dark wash denim to match the players’ pants on-field. You are emulating with class and cleverness. You are not imitating with sad replication. The Belt: [The Tie Bar Khaki Braided Belt – $25](. Even Sportsball players wear belts. True story. The Watch: [Orient Bambino V5 in White/Gold – $157](. A wristwatch that embodies well-designed subtlety, just like the regulation garments worn by the City by the Bay Sportsball Run Tackle Throw franchise. Beloved for a reason, and wildly affordable for the timeless style and specs packed into this gem. The gold scheme wash chosen to match, natch. The Shoes: [Nike Air Max 270 React – $86](. Wild and beautiful, just like [your Mom]( after her third Pimm’s cup while trying to saunter down Lombard street. She can ride my cable car anytime! The Socks: [Bombas Ankle Sock in Red Marl – $12]( Finally. A scenario where [Nordstrom’s over the calf merinos]( aren’t the perfect play. What to wear if you love The Paris of the Plains / City of Fountains [Style Scenario: Sportsball Championship Event Thing! | Dappered.com] The Shirt: [Goodfellow & Co Longsleeve Tee in Red Velvet – $10](. The Paris of the Plains / City of Fountains Sportsball Blitz Pass Kick franchise should be wearing their standard professional Sportsball regulation attire for the big game (red over white), so we’ll start up top with a bright red long sleeve shirt. Dirt cheap at just one Hamilton, and widely available. The Pants: [Banana Republic Athletic Heathered Traveler Pant in Smoke Grey – $98](. In this scenario, where food and drink abound, wearing white trousers is asking for a stain by way of spilled wings. We’re also extraordinarily far from [the months of which white pants are seen as a viable option](. Opt for something a little more neutral, like a dark grey. Expensive at full retail, but often on sale. These have supplanted my BR Chinos as my favorite pants I own. The Shoes: [Adidas Continental 80 in White – $80](. A go-to casual shoe for many, these replace the pants as the blast of white in the bottom-half of your outfit to represent the red/white color combination. Durable and comfortable. Wear these all day without getting tired feet. [Full review can be found here.]( The Belt: [GAP Basic Leather Belt in Black – $24](. You could wear a white belt. But then you’d also own a white belt. The Watch: [Orient Bambino V5 in Black/White – $179](. The same watch featured for The City by the Bay, but here, a change of color to better suit the rest of your attire. The Socks: [Bombas Solids Crew in Mustard – $12]( Accents! Yellow accents! Not gold but yellow. This touch of yellow is a nod to the accents on the regulation apparel worn by the Paris of the Plains / City of Fountains Sportsball Snap Lateral Punt franchise.

These are areas where it’s probably worthwhile for one to explore & expand their tastes. The Playlist is assembled each month by [Dappered’s very own music correspondent]( Tim Johnstone. Tim is a former Virgin Records Label Rep & current award winning Program Director at [KRVB](, which was awarded the FMQB AAA station of the year markets 50+. You can also catch his work on Fridays when he assembles [the Weekend Reset](. Got a Spotify account? You’ll find a link to this month’s playlist at the end of the post. For Tom – “For Real” For Tom is what Jakob Dylan, Dhani Harrison, Amos Lee and Lucas, Micah and Willie Nelson call themselves in this tribute to Tom Petty. And the song they have recorded is one of the Petty tracks unearthed since his death. There is a whole lot of music history in this line up. Jakob’s dad is Bob and Dhani’s was George Harrison. Micah and Lucas are Nelson’s sons who have become successful in their own careers. This is a song that connected with all involved because of its spirit and philosophical take on creating art. Proceeds from the sales of the record benefit [The Midnight Mission](, a comprehensive homeless services provider in Los Angeles. It was an organization which Petty supported significantly throughout his career. (Song not available on Spotify which seems weird.) [TOKIMONSTA – “Fried For The Night” featuring EARTHGANG]( I’m just learning about TOKIMONSTA, a producer/beat maker out of Los Angeles. I am becoming a fan of Altanta rap duo EARTHGANG ([featured in last November’s playlist]() with every new song and collaboration I run across. This is trippy AF, befitting the title of the song. And it’s not just the song. I almost think it’s better to listen to this first without watching the video. It is nearly overwhelming otherwise. It is also very much worth it. Inventive and fun. [Mick Flannery – “Wasteland”]( The first time I heard this song I was wobbly on the whole endeavor early on but as Mick Flannery’s voice and lyrics grabbed hold of me I emerged at the end thrilled with the experience. That’s the best description I have. By the time the song’s arrangement bursts open nearly one minute in, I was enthralled. It was heavy duty and it is a great reminder about what music can do. Flannery is a star in Ireland. With America’s love for fellow Irish musicians Hozier and Dermot Kennedy, I have to think he will find many fans here. [Soccer Mommy – “Circle The Drain”]( A bit of a dichotomy happening here on this new single from Sophie Allison, AKA Soccer Mommy. The Nashville artist turns her attention inward in this song filled with melancholy, even as the feelings are buoyed by a fairly laid back, sunny arrangement. [The Boomtown Rats – “Trash Glam Baby”]( I might have squealed when I came across this. I am not proud. But for fans of the Irish band, this is all kinds of great news. [The Boomtown Rats]( were vital contributors to the Punk and New Wave scenes exploding in the UK in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Their videos received a great deal of airplay on MTV ([this one]( and [this one]( and [this one]( all were regularly shown on the channel). In the wake of Band Aid and Live Aid, Rats lead singer Bob Geldof focused on charitable work and the occasional solo record. The band hasn’t released anything since 1984. And now they’re back. And while a couple of the original members are not along for this project, the sound is so very much directly descended from what came before. This is a very good thing. Tyler The Creator – “Best Interest” Tyler The Creator is not afraid to have fun. It’s one of the things I enjoy most about his music. This is a track recorded during the sessions for his last album and is just now showing up on a new podcast. I’m digging it. (Song not available on Spotify) [Mallrat – “Charlie”]( This is all sorts of wonderful. I love everything about it. The insistent rhythm of the beat and the lyrics, the emotional wallop of the story, the way Grace Kathleen Elizabeth Shaw (she is Mallrat) delivers her vocals, the way the background arrangement fills out and expands. All of it comes together in a perfect bit of pop confection. And I love the mantra that comes up throughout the song: “I hope your dreams are amazing.” I’m of the opinion that this is one of the coolest things you could ever say to someone. So yeah. I love this. [Nathaniel Rateliff – “And It’s Still Alright”]( Nathaniel Rateliff has stepped back from his band to record his first solo record since finding fame with The Night Sweats. This is a truly lovely song, heartfelt and sweetly melancholic, written in response to the death of one of Rateliff’s [close friends and collaborators.]( It is a chance for Rateliff to return to his roots. I’m looking forward to hearing the entire album. And, no worries. There will be more music from Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. [Michael Stipe – “Drive to the Ocean”]() Earlier this month, Michael Stipe, REM’s front man, released his second solo single on his 60th birthday. He has promised a full length in 2020 and this has been notable since it is the first major solo project he has undertaken since the band called it a day. While Stipe’s vocals are familiar and welcome, the musical arrangements are far different from what REM produced and it is interesting hearing Stipe’s voice in this new context. Like the first single from late last year, [this song is available at his website]() and benefits an environmental organization. (This song is not on Spotify) [Kesha – “Resentment” feat. Sturgill Simpson, Brian Wilson and Wrabel]( What is there to say, really? This is a new song from Kesha featuring Sturgill Simpson, Brian Wilson – yes, [that Brian Wilson]( and the songwriter known as Wrable. That is a very interesting assemblage of artists and this song has been finding its way back inside my head repeatedly over the past few weeks. [Real Estate – “Paper Cup” featuring Sylvan Esso]( Light and breezy alternative pop from this New Jersey band who step up their game with every release. This ventures very near Yacht Rock territory but the band pulls it off. Their new album The Main Thing will be released on February 28th. [Stabbing Westward – “Dead & Gone”]( Here is another band that is releasing new music after a long hiatus. Stabbing Westward formed in the 1986 and hit their stride in the mid 90’s with a series of industrial influenced modern rock songs that were played on Alternative rock stations. Songs like [“Save Yourself,”]( and [“What Do I Have To Do]( were among their most popular songs. This new song, from an upcoming project, is rather better than I expected and this makes me feel like an ass. I am an ass. I just don’t like being reminded about it. This is excellent gym playlist material. [Yola – “I Don’t Wanna Lie”]( Yes. I am fully aware that this is the third, perhaps fourth time that Yola has made the Playlist. I am a fan. This is another bonus track on the deluxe digital version of her debut album [Walk Through Fire](. It made my top ten for 2019. That this song wasn’t considered for the album is completely baffling. It is a straight up gem. In a perfect world, this woman would be a superstar. That very well may happen yet. As well it should. See her if you get a chance. [Mikey Mike – “Amazon Prime”]( I get the impression this guy is a bit of a character ([exhibit A]( and [exhibit B](). Let me be clear that this is in no way a denigration of characters. They are an essential part of life. This new offering from this Mike Williams, AKA Mikey Mike might just be one of those pop culture Zeitgeist moments that connect people. We are living in an Amazon Prime world. So, yeah. People might relate. [Algiers – “Dispossession”]( Algiers has just released a terrific new album showcasing an urgent, soulful brand of post punk that I am immediately taken with. The band is from Atlanta and [There Is No Year]( deserves attention. [Bombay Bicycle Club – “I Can Hardly Speak”]( After spending a few years focusing on solo projects, the members of this London band have been previewing music from their just released new album [Everything Else Has Gone Wrong](. There is a little psychedelic going on here amidst the keyboards, percussion and vocals. [Vince Staples – “Hell Bound”]( Vince Staples has launched [TheVinceStaplesShow+](, which is a [“streaming service-inspired website that will host all things Vince.”]( It’s where you can find this new track that features an old-timey animated video. It’s hard not to smile through this one. Jarvis Cocker – “Running The World” HEADS UP: The chorus to this song is not something you probably want to play if you aren’t wearing headphones (The Brits do love to use the c-word). Also, this song might trigger some people as the subject is pretty much politics. The song, originally written for a movie soundtrack over ten years ago, has been re-recorded and caught the favor of the many a fan in the UK as it became the subject of a campaign to make it the lauded Christmas #1 over the Holiday season. See more from Jarvis and his band Pulp below. [THE CLASSIC: Pulp – “Common People”]( One of the, if not the best moments of [BritPop]( history.

[Made in the UK Sanders Berne Longwings – $181.90]( w/ GIFT15 ($430) UPDATE: Big thanks to our man Brandon D. for pointing out that after this post went live, Guideboat & Co. launched an extra 15% off code GIFT15. That brings them in total, with the spendy shipping included (read on for more on that), to $199.85. Who does brogues better than the British? Originally designed to drain bog water out of the shoe while walking over swampy land, brogues now have perforations and layers of leather just for looks. And man do they look good. Especially these, which fall firmly in the LWBB ([long wing blucher brogue]() category. Made in the UK by Sanders (they also [of the super squishy chukkas]( these are Goodyear welted, the uppers are made from surprisingly pliable leather, they’re leather lined, and the welt is also a storm welt (a type of Goodyear welt that helps keep the water out… my how times have changed). [Made in the UK Sanders Berne Longwings]( And the full retail asking price of $430 is not artificially inflated. That’s what it’ll cost you, with the exchange rate, [to get a pair direct via Sanders](. Now the drawbacks: - Shipping is steep. $19.95 steep (seriously? Twenty bucks?) for priority, and there’s no slower option. - [You’re on the hook for returns](. A $9 charge. Although if you do an exchange, they might waive shipping on the new pair? - They’re sized in UK sizes. Why Guideboat doesn’t provide a conversion chart is beyond me. That’s probably why no one has bought them yet. In today’s market of instant gratification, if you give anyone any excuse not to be your customer, poof. They’re gone. Anyway, [here’s the chart direct from Sanders]( (and also posted below). Size down a full size from your normal US size. A 9.5 in the chukkas fit my normally 10.5 feet great. And according to reader James D., who sent in the tip on these: “I found that a UK 11 Berne is slightly roomier than a US 12 in [the Allen Edmonds MacNeil](“ Which is good info. And good perspective. [The AE MacNeil is currently down to $229.97](. I’d say skip the Berne’s and go with the MacNeils since they ship AND return for free, but sizes are pretty much gone for the MacNeil. You could always try AE’s Greene Street in Mahogany. But those look much more modern. The Berne’s from Sanders are timeless classics. That’s all. Carry on. And once again, huge thank you to James D. for the tip. ff/Dappered?a=wBw8h42jmh8:QPpR1Cfa8iM:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=wBw8h42jmh8:QPpR1Cfa8iM:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=wBw8h42jmh8:QPpR1Cfa8iM:gIN9vFwOqvQ You are subscribed to email updates from [Dappered Style Mail]().
