The Allure of Yves Saint Laurent Croc Skin Shoes
I’ve always held a fascination for croc skin. From perceptible to borderline imperceptible textures, it’s the detail and refinement that goes into a croc skin product (be they shoes, wallets, belts or bags) that turns me on (in an emotional sense. I’m not a pervert). That said, even though these Yves Saint Laurent men’s shoes […]

Orange With Envy: Rolex 216670 Orange Hand Explorer II
March 26, 2011
I think you need to reach a certain age before Rolex begins to hold a siren call for you. I recently turned 30 and it wasn’t for long before the Rolex bug bit. Alas, it was a vintage Rolex GMT Explorer II reference 1655 that caught my eye. Unfortunately, Rolex stopped making this eye catching […]

That (Those) Hotel(s) in James Bond’s Casino Royale
March 25, 2011
It is Hollywood irony that most of the beautiful locations featured in 2006’s Casino Royale were set in the Czech Republic rather than Montenegro where his mission was actually centered; nevertheless, attracted by the luxury and opulence of these locales, I was determined to hunt them down; especially since I was heading to the Republic […]

Curated: Burberry Black Label Men’s Spring Summer 2011
March 25, 2011
I love Christopher Bailey. Not just because the man has a flair for clean cut designs inspired by strict military style cuts, but also because he has a penchant for creating crazy demand through his truly exclusive offerings; Burberry Black Label is only available in Japan and for men looking for unique style, it’s a […]

Nothing More Manly then Aging Your Own Whiskey
March 24, 2011
I’m in no way suggesting or encouraging you to start your own Boardwalk Empire (but if you do please dress the part) and though mankind (literally just the men) has been making moonshine since we discovered we could ferment just about anything into alcohol; I’m glad at least one whiskey company has decided it’s good […]

Zadig & Voltaire Get Shorty, Prove Men should wear Shorts
March 21, 2011
It’s a persistent little social more, the idea that only boys wear shorts. Truth be told, I avoided shorts myself till recently when French designer Thierry Gillier, former Yves Saint Laurent auteur launched Zadig & Voltaire’s Spring Summer 2011 collection. Should shorts be kept firmly in the realm of casual wear? Yes. The sartorial bar […]

Suit Them Up: iPad 2 Carrying Suits from Mohan’s of New York
March 15, 2011
Dress Stylishly, Tote an iPad. Quite frankly, I think that Mohan’s is really answering a real market need for well dressed corporate and metrosexual types who’d prefer not to carry their brand new iPad 2 in their briefcase or man purse everytime they had to step out for a coffee or smoke. Sure, there are some really […]

From Boardwalk to Catwalk: 1920s Men’s Style and Trends Today
March 8, 2011
For many, myself included, the 1920s will be best characterised by Prohibition and the 3 piece suits favoured by both G-men (FBI agents) and gangsters ala Al Capone himself. What started from a little noticed trend of fedora wearing celebrities like Timberlake and Johnny Depp has reached full circle two tone brogue shoe proportions driven […]
