Home Bar

Posted by A.I. On April - 15 - 2009

Because your home should be just as fashionable as you, there’s nothing like a distinguished home bar. We like the timelessness and rugged appeal of this Gunning Box Bar. Fill it with your favorite single malt scotches and something a little milder for your guests and you have the perfect way to host your next impromptu get-together.

If you haven't already- Buy a pair of Cap toe Shoes

Posted by Chuck Nelson On April - 15 - 2009

They are business essentials. If you don’t have a pair, you need to invest in one. Keyword INVEST. These shoes, if taken care of properly, will last you the rest of you life so get a pair worth wearing. We like cap toes for two reasons.

1.) They crease behind the cap.

2.) The double folded leather on the cap never wrinkles because of reason #1

Because of this, they look new forever and never need more than a shine and an occasional resole.

You can also buy them with toe medallions or brogued leather, but those diminish the formality and are less appropriate for black tie events like funerals. So put away some money in your nike shoe box and save up for a pair of cap toes from a quality brand. Your coworkers won’t notice, but your boss’ boss will.

Louis Vuitton is finally making REAL men’s watches

Posted by A.I. On April - 10 - 2009

Louis Vuitton has finally come around to designing masculine watches worthy of this fashion powerhouse’s name. Long gone are the flowery accents and feminine bezel’s, their spring collection oozes power and begs to be worn for both work and play. Check out their website to see the new collection.

One watch that flaships the line- you won’t find on the website-the brand new Tambour Mystérieuse. This is Vuitton’s first attempt at creating it’s own movements. Usually outsourced, the movement is set on crystal disks giving it that beautiful floating appearance. Everything is customizable down to each individual stone. You would expect that type of service for $265,000. Also start saving now, because these bad boys take a year to create.

The New Way to Wear a Pocket Square

Posted by A.I. On April - 9 - 2009

If a jacket has a breast pocket, there should always be something in it. Period. Ideally, it should compliment but not match anything on your outfit, but when in doubt, match your shirt color. Traditionally silk, a pocket square used to be placed effortlessly into a pocket and forgotten- looking sloppily like it just prevented a mess being sneezed in your hand. A modern man wears it neatly flat, exposing but a simple elegant line to compliment his silhouette. Buy cotton or linen as it tends to hold its shape better than silk. Check periodically to ensure it stays that way, but fix it only in the bathroom- never act like you care about your appearance for it spoils the effortlessness of your outfit.
