When it comes to menswear that we "borrow" from, or buy from to be more accurate, there really aren't that many strictly menswear labels that really, well, work for a woman. I don't mean that just in terms of sizes or things looking boxy in a good way. I'm speaking more to an intangible feeling. But there are a few menswear labels out there where it feels not only OK, but right to shop from and one of them is American-made Save Khaki out of New York. Their collection photos seem to always include women, which is a nice little encouragement to women to buy their clothing, whether it's for them or a gentleman in their life (the clothes might end up on them at some stage, regardless of original intent). I love Save Khaki's neutral color palette of grays and washed blues that create a spectrum of pure Americana. Sure, I wished they made women's clothing, but I'm also grateful that they are doing what they are doing.

I always look at this label when I'm in New York
Have you heard of Future is the Future? I love the spirit behind it - secondhand/small run clothing that gives sizing for both men and women (and everything in between). http://www.futureisthefuture.com/clothing/
Save Khaki put a store in Wainscott, but I didn't see it until the end of last summer, so I missed the chance to shop there. Unfortunately, I heard they're not coming back.
i am fond of this label
