Equipt Débuts on MSNBC
Andy Warhol once said we'd all have our fifteen seconds of fame. Mine turned out to be about five minutes, and whether that will make me famous or not, only time will tell.

THE HISTORY OF THE KILTIE: Truth or Fiction

I am delighted to report that a gent from Scotland, by the name of John M. Conboy Esquire, explained the kiltie's true origins and here…

STYLE DIARY: The Spectator Golf Shoe Re-Imagined
This shoe found its way into my imagination after a game of croquet on the lawn in Southampton awhile back. It reminded me of a Merchant Ivory film - the only thing missing was the Pims.

FROM CHINA TO MEXICO: EQUIPT’S BIG MOVE
Why move production from China to Mexico you ask? If you've looked at these  gorgeous photos and still want to know, it's because the shoe industry in Mexico has a long and venerable history and is every bit as state-of-the-art as China's.
