There are few watches which can boast genuine aviation pedigree and the Longines Avigation Oversize Crown is one such sample of elegant aesthetics and aviator functionality. More than a reproduction of the original Longines model created in the 1920s, the all new timepiece with 41mm diameter and ‘flight-legible’ dial with white numerals and gold-plated lumed […]

Keep Pockets slim with the Disciple Wallet The Disciple Wallet from Barrett Alley is the latest card holder on the war front against fat wallets. While mass produced slim wallets from Bellroy are quite laudable (do check them out), nothing beats the time-tested traditions (and luxuriousness) of handcrafted leather. Shipping with a lifetime guarantee, the Disciple Wallet […]

Last month, New York Times T magazine celebrated The Rise of the Well-Dressed Man and in their op-ed piece welcomed us all to the age of sartorial enlightenment.

I recently got wind of this little site named: A Suit that Fits. They’re an online tailored suit service similar to Indochino but offering tons more customisation and catering to women as well. I don’t really want to get into rehashing the tired benefits of getting your suits made to measure but I do want to give […]

I think it’s fantastic when watch reviewers like worn&wound start to parlay their immaculate tastes into curating some top end accessories and accoutrements for our beloved timepieces. Yes, the once humble blog on the watch industry has branched into launching their online store and creating a selection of NATO straps between two collections: the Model […]

I’ve been pretty psyched. While work gets underway over at The Rake In Brief and an up coming revamp of the online edition, I managed to get contact with the press manager for Ariel and Shimon Ovadia– indeed the erstwhile designer brothers of the beautiful (and immensely affordable) collection of classic men’s looks, as it […]
