We’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of Huell Howser, a California broadcasting legend and a great inspiration to Put This On.

Huell hosted a number of public television shows here in SoCal, and was known for the compelling nature of his simple productions. Usually, it was just Huell and a microphone, marveling at the wonder of California. His catchphrase (entirely sincere and unmanufactured) was: “that’s amaaaaaaazing!’

We invited Huell to our first-ever public screening, and to our surprise, he came. A roar went through the crowd when he walked through the door: the man was the very definition of beloved.

Huell offered us some much-appreciated compliments on our pilot episode, and even invited Adam to lunch (at a secret LAPD diner) to talk movie-making. I talked with him a few times on the phone about our business models – he was excited to be moving his shows into he 21st century and was proud of young creators like us forging new paths to independent content creation.

From my experience, the Huell Howser you saw on screen was a wonderful reflection of the man in life. He was smart, charming, and immensely appreciative of the world (and people) around him.

We could all stand to be a bit more like Huell.

Our Beloved Sponsors

We’d like to thank our two sponsors for continuing to support us this month. Our first sponsor, Ledbury, is primarily known for their workweek-friendly styles, but recently, they’ve delved into more casual shirting for fall. Each of their three new flannel shirts (The Howard, Griffin & Burke) and two brushed cottons (The Callan in blue and brown) are made from soft Italian fabrics and feature a shortened tail, thus allowing them to be easily worn untucked. Also, Anderson Cooper was recently spotted wearing one of their new casual styles (the Allen Plaid) on The First 15.

Our second sponsor, Cottonwork, also makes men’s shirts, but on the custom made-to-measure side. One of the nice things about their company is that they can copy any existing shirt you have. So say you have a perfectly fitting shirt, but wish it were made from a linen or an oxford cloth, or perhaps you want a different collar style. Just send them your shirt with instructions, and they’ll make whatever you need. The same can done if you just want the sleeves lengthened or torso made a bit fuller (both things that you can’t do through an alterations tailor). This is a nice way to make small tweaks to your existing items without having to submit self-measurements.

So thanks to Ledbury and Cottonwork for their continued support! Their sponsorship helps us bring you our blog content each and every day.

Sponsor Welcome: Ledbury

We’d like to give a warm welcome to our newest sponsor at Put This On: Ledbury!

Ledbury makes men’s shirts. Their designs have a more robust collar, so that it won’t collapse underneath your sport coat, and a lower placed second button on the front. The lower second button allows men to wear their shirts casually without having to button it too high, which might be constrictive without a necktie, or too low, which might be … inappropriate. They also have a slightly more shaped torso line for a slimmer looking fit.

Note that from now until September 3rd, they’re running a Labor Day “bundle sale.” Buy three shirts and get $ 100 off; buy five and get $ 200 off; or buy seven and get $ 300 off. There are a couple of styles on sale as well.

So, thanks Ledbury for making Put This On possible!
