About BASK

“Can’t repeat the past? Why of course you can!” – Jay Gatsby, “The Great Gatsby,” Or at the very least you can borrow timeless, sartorial inspiration from it. Case in point, BASK Toweling Blazers (baskpoolside.com), a conversation piece of a signature sports jacket that takes its form-meets function Riva lines and 007-in-Monaco style from the days when gentlemen to the manor wrought and just plain international playboys (and girls) donned smoking jackets in drawing room by night and belted bathrobes poolside by day, taking repose over a cigar and a hedgerow-enclosed Gin Rickey, with the effortlessness one wears monogram-pocket pajamas. Boasting a tapered silhouette, with streamlined Mid-Century modern-evocative piping, BASK Toweling Blazers boast a cut that compliments the form on men, women, and child–and a bemusing cucumber-cool monogram of a martini-quaffing monkey made famous in the pages of “The Great Gatsby.” Besides its sumptuously cozy Turkish-cotton, terry-cloth-velour fabric, oft-mistaken for velvet, each blazer assumes and heightens the identity of its wearer, whether they’re going bare-chested with some board shorts or a sleek one-piece. For men at “’tini time,” the blazer mixes well with blue jeans and a vintage tee, or more “Taking Ivy”-style, with a crisp white Oxford and khakis. For women, a little black dress or tank with white denim. Read their story
