Kuhlman / Men’s and Women’s Boutique and Bespoke Tailoring

These are great, lightweight shirts and the first two have buttons on the sleeves to achieve that effortless rolled up look. For all of you looking to keep your skin away from the sun’s rays but want to feel nice and summery, this is for you!

The light colors add to the airy feeling of this shirt. Black and white with some great highlights of light blue and tan. ($79)

This one is the classic fit rather than the slim. The sleeves still roll up, the fabric is still wonderfully light and airy.

Pete the Penguin loves pink. ($79)

This Heritage slim fit polo has great chunky stripes to add a youthful feel to a classic style.

Heather and charcoal greys with some nice small blue and orange stripes to break it all up. ($69)

This charcoal great button up is a bit on the fancy side when worn. A great way to look put together for a barbeque without melting at the same time.

Another wonderful mix charcoal with blue and orange highlights. ($69)

RVCA seems to be sympathetic to our weather dilemmas here in Seattle and sent us a great array of weights to keep us stylish!

Let’s start the show with the stunner!

The Reminder dress is the epitome of perfect. It has boning in the front and sides with elastic shirring in back to ensure a perfect, supported fit. And the price is awesome. ($70)

The Reminder also comes in this amazing white printed fabric. Where the black is the great classic LBD, this is the spunky younger sister.

Close up of the printed cross pattern.

The Loudmouth tee is the perfect summer tee. With slightly longer sleeves and a slouchy body, this shirt will instantly become your new favorite tee. ($30)

The black version is a bit less see through for those trying to avoid layering.

This amazing piece of clothing is the most innovative item I’ve seen in a long while. It begins with a long, double-breasted blazer with the sleeves slightly rolled up for a relaxed look. Oh so cute.

Oh, but wait. Then you notice this detachable amazing jersey scoodie (scarf + hoodie). Wear the blazer open with this draped in front, or wrapped around…

The pockets on the scarf portion are just another amazing detail that make this coat so versatile and usable. Wear it over a dress for the theatre, or over skinny jeans for a day around town. ($110)

I didn’t forget about you, guys…

This slouchy, slightly grandfather cardigan is your answer to what to wear in this in between weather. Light enough that you won’t get sweaty, heavy enough to block out a bit of that chilly breeze, this cardigan will get worn again and again.

Plus look at this Nice-Collective-like seem down the back. It starts at the middle of the neck and then curves around the back to end almost at the side seems. Details make it all. ($70)

The more casual option is the Traffic Stripe hoodie. The tan background with brown and blue stripes across create a nice light summery feel. ($60)

The Oceanic pullover is a heathery blue-grey mix jersey knit. It can be layered under a coat or jacket to add some extra warmth, or worn on its own for some lightweight long sleeve coverage. ($58)

The tees this season are so impressive! I love the ridiculousness of this image! ($32)

RVCA’s main philosophy is represented in their logo. If you notice, the “U” is shaped as a V and the A has no bar. Put them beside each other, and they represent an idea of balance and unity. An aspect of that is nature and industry, working along side each other, and hopefully together. ($20)

The lions surrounding the crest bring and old timey feel to a new timey tee. ($20)

And who doesn’t love a good fighting yeti. With his sailor’s hat, ascot, and cigar, this guy is ready for anything. ($23)

I love the pencil drawing of this heron. It is beautifully detailed and incredibly interesting. ($23)

That’s right! The sun finally found its way to Seattle, and that means new sunglasses! We have a great assortment from Mosley Tribes that I can’t wait to see on your faces!

These are the Bromley. They are an ingenious mix of plastic- and wire-framed glasses. The plastic around the lenses with the aviator-like wires across the bridge create a totally unique, but wearable, look. ($180)

The Patterson were released last year. They are the perfect balance between large and small, round and square. ($150)

The sailor’s colors in this two-tone version of the Patterson are so summery! ($150)

A great short wrap-around style, the Borough, are for those not sticking to trends, but just what looks good! I always say that the only way to really be in style is to look great. If the current large frames aren’t working for you, come and try these out, they’re amazing! ($180)

The Flynn is another completely unique but classic style. Surrounding the lenses is much closer to metal than plastic, allowing for a much thinner front. The matte black around the lenses with the shiny black plastic arms create subtle contrast on an otherwise unadorned frame. ($180)

The only aviator for this shipment, the Raynes, are your classic droop eye aviator, beautifully detailed with chrome metal and chrome sapphire lenses. Ladies and gents alike will look great in these babies! ($235)

• Sunglasses

And lastly, the Kapelle. This frame is much shorter than most everything else we offer. They are great for you small-faced folks who don’t want your whole face obstructed by your eyewear. ($220)

We recently received two new frame shapes from new-comers Illesteva. This is their very first season producing frames, and they have done an amazing job! The co-creators, Daniel Silberman and Jus Ske, came together in 2009 to create a lifestyle brand to tackle their lack of interest in what the sunglass market had to offer them. Working together with the world leading manufacturers of luxury eyewear, they are able to push the established boundaries and create something totally unique. Each of their frames is handmade in Italy using the highest quality of materials.

This frame is called the Leonard. It has almost perfectly round lenses with two-dot details at the hinge. The cut out at the bridge creates a really unique look. These sunnies are all a little out there and VERY stylish!

Amber

Tortoise Shell

Matte Black

Clear with Black Arms ($168 each)

This style is the Frieda. This one has perfectly round lenses with less embellishments. They are so classic, yet nothing we see today looks close to these.

Grey Marble

Brown Stripes ($192 each)

These guys were brought to our attention by the amazing men over at Tellason denim. This line is the brainchild of two men, Jason Kibbey and Jeff Denby. Jason and Jeff have completely opposite lifestyles and beliefs, except in the fact that business can do good in the world. They meticulously developed an underwear brand that could embody the effects they wanted to have on the world. Every detail that goes into a pair of PACT underwear has been noted, researched, and discussed at length in order to ensure the best impact on the world’s environment and population. OK, OK, on to the product!!

These are the boxer brief fit for the Green Belt Movement, a charity started in Kenya to plant trees. The charity has developed since then into an international movement, with more than 40 million trees in Africa alone. Help them reach their goal of 1 billion trees worldwide in the next decade. ($27)

The same fit, boxer brief, but in the Oceana print this time. Oceana is focused solely on the conservation of our world’s oceans. They do everything from going down and cleaning themselves to creating policies and legislation to protect species and environments. ($27)

These are the trunk fit in the stripes print. All the underwear featured here is 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane. Everything is machine washable. All of these were responsibly manufactured at Egedeniz Tekstil in Turkey. ($25)

Fred Perry has finally arrived! We have a great assortment for your wearing pleasure!

First up, the classic Fred Perry twin tipped polo. We have two fits, the M12, made in England, and the M1200, made in China.

The M12 is a bit longer and half a size slimmer through the torso. We have two new color combos available:

Navy with Yellow tips,

And White with Olive Green and Navy tips. ($93)

In the M1200, we have three new color options:

White with Red and Navy tips (sorry for the photo quality, it is the same white as the photo above though),

Ice with Red and Navy tips,

and White with Ice and Navy tips. ($77)

This is a new one for us - it is a linen and cotton blend, made with raglan sleeves. It has a slim fit throughout, smaller collar with tone on tone tipping, and navy piping on an ink background. ($156)

This is the M3, the ORIGINAL Fred Perry polo. It slightly longer, slightly wider fit than the M1200. Our is solid white with a navy laurel.

Plain collar on the M3. ($93)

We also branched into the Performance Polo. This beauty is the same colorway as the M1200 above, white with ice and navy tips, but this one is made from Activair nylon fabric. This fabric is amazingly efficient at wicking moisture away from the body and has a much quicker drying time than cotton to get the moisture even farther from you.

This is the back detail of the Performance polo. It has a very open knit to allow for the best of air flow. This fabric really does perform amazingly, you have to try it! ($77)

This woven button-up is a FP classic. The tartan is beautiful, with great accents such as the biased placket. ($88)

Another classic, the track jacket, in stunning white with navy tape. (I know it appears black, but it is, in fact, navy) ($88)

This is a slightly different version of the Vintage Tennis shoe we have been carrying for the past few seasons. This color is great - it’s a really dark navy with gorgeous bright blue accents.

I love the bottom blue stripe on the side almost at the sole. ($59)

These are a new style for us, known as the Newington. They have a canvas body with suede toes and heel.

I love the shape of the suede at the toe. These are really comfortable, and who can beat the price?! ($72)

Don’t worry ladies, we didn’t forget about you!

This dress is so cute and innocent with its pleats at the bottom and perfectly puffy sleeves.

White background with navy and yellow checks, and of course, the yellow laurel. ($156)

Texture stripe polo with rolled up sleeves and a tiny collar. So classic! ($88)

This striped over-sized tee is great for a summer day relaxing or running around with the dog at the park. Kimono shaped sleeves allow for the lines to go unbroken for a totally unique and stylish look. ($59)

I have been so excited about the watch shipment, and it surely didn’t disappoint! We have a mixture of new styles, new colors, and old classics from Nixon for everyone’s watch needs!

This is the Shutter, a new ladies’ style for Nixon. The yellow plastic is slightly marbled, less so than in this photo though. This one features Japanese quartz movement with a 30 meter water resistance. Leather band and acetate clasp. This is a great way for the ladies to find a large stylish watch without being overtaken by it. ($110)

The tortoise version of the Shutter has a black leather band and silver hands for a very elegant and classy look. ($110)

Another brand new style for the ladies, the Zona, features a small metal band with a jewelry clasp. We haven’t had many women’s watches with metal bands, but this one does it right. The face creates interest from far away because it appears in a diamond shape on the wrist rather than a normal square. From close up, you can notice the floating discs used for the minute and hour hands. A great way to add a classic black watch to your wardrobe without looking like everyone else! ($180)

The Mellor is new for us here at Kuhlman. This watch is simplicity at it’s very best. The folded leather band is soft as butter and features a stainless steel buckle and keeper. It’s completely unique. The slightly brushed silver with black face will go with your suits and your tees. This one, too, has Japanese quartz movement and a 30 meter water resistance. ($110)

All the same features as the Black Mellor, except this one has a wooden background for the face. The look is really interesting - make me think of the meeting of the old and the new. ($135)

You may have seen this one on our shelves before. I love the ingenuity displayed with this piece. The hour and minute hands move just the same as any other watch, but the top and bottom dials show the date and hour for your quick reference. Plus, the green really pops! ($160)

An utterly amazing piece, the Newton resembles electrons moving about an atom. One electron for the hour, one for the minute. The case and buckle are custom polycarbonate with a silicone band. This one also features a blue LED that lights up the hands in the coolest way possible. ($110)

All black with orange minute and blue hour hand. All Newtons are 30 meter rated. ($110)

Beautiful blue band (same as the Time Teller P we’ve had in the past) with black case and blue hands. Highlighted orange light button. ($110)

If you’ve been in the past few months, you’ve probably noticed the array of colorful watches we have hanging above the watch case. This is the metal version of those cool little PU wonders. The Time Teller has such a simple face that no one could turn it down. The metal band stretches rather than being set. ($100)

The All Gunmetal version of the Time Teller. Both have custom 3-hand Japanese quartz movement and are rated to 100 meters. ($100)

The Re-Run is a brand new style for the guys this season.  Not only does this one have the day and date on the main screen with the time, it also includes dual time, alarm, countdown timer and a light! The metal band is adjustable without removing links too. ($90)

And who could miss the Rubber Player?! This new color, drab, is anything but! It’s a dark grey shade with bright blue hands for a bit of interest. The case and band are molded out of a single piece of silicon. The case is a custom molded silicon with a triple gasket - rated to 100 meters! This watch can go anywhere with you and will always look good! ($160)
