Ruffian for Macy’s Lackluster Preview

Photos from the new Ruffian capsule collection for Macy’s have hit the web. It went something like this; striped polo, plaid shirt, striped shirt, basic jeans. Kind of like what you’d find at The Gap on any given Sunday. We’re not impressed.

I’ve been a pretty big fan of Ruffian’s womens collection for sometime, which is why I was ecstatic when I heard designers, Brian Wolk and Claude Morais were working on a low cost Mens capsule collection for Macy’s. Of course the excitement is now just bitter disappointment as I scan photos of a mess of basics I haven’t been interested in since high school.
Hopefully there will be some high points to this collection added before it hits the selling floor, but if not, I think we’ve just been bamboozled into paying attention to line that really doesn’t offer anything fresh in the menswear category.
Le sigh, Ruffian boys, le sigh.
