I’ve often extolled the virtues of penny wisdom- making a few crucial luxury investments, mixing it up with the affordable; in tandem, a look that makes you look dressed above your paygrade. Thus far, I’ve been sensible (the wife would disagree) but just sometimes a boy can dream (the wife will frown at the expenditure) […]

I salute Slate’s Farhad Manjoo; like him (the opposite actually), my chest is a little moobsy (too many push ups) and my arms are a touch bulgy (too many chin ups); if I were to buy off-the-rack, I would have to buy a size and a half to big to accomodate leaving the torso area […]

Trends come and go but Haefest is here to stay. Stylish not trendy, high quality materials, simple elegance and meticulous attention to detail has turned this New York brand into an independent brand of such craftsmanship that well established brand houses should sit up and take note. HÆRFEST : pronounced Har•vest (’härvist) bags come in Grey […]

Debonair. Charismatic. Suave. A classic “rat pack” – where Neal Caffrey lacks in scruples, he makes up with incredible dress sense.

Leffot The Fold Horween Shell Cordovan Wallet With renewed focus on slender silhouettes and slim cut suits comes whole new challenge- wallets that do not break the line of the suit. Judging by the number of “cut the junk out of your wallet” and slim wallet photo spreads out there in men’s magville, it’s a […]

One of the best things about living in the modern age is all the wonderful technology; the only better than that? Loads of opportunity to dress up your favourite high tech gadgets with designer sleeves and cases: Enter Hard Graft. Debuting in 2007, these “working class ex-advertising heroes” – admittedly without an iota of business […]

We’ve gotten to that point in men’s style that suddenly it has become socially acceptable for non optically handicapped individuals to don a pair of faux-glasses. While I hate that, I would hate equally (if not more so) if these gorgeous wood based glasses missed out on a style mention just because I didn’t want […]

It’s a literary job hazard- Easy puns. I hate it sometimes but will allow this exception as my segue way into my next point. Judging from their pop up store display of subtle, elegant and immensely comfortable menswear basics – The Hentsch Man Summer 2011 collection is real easy on the eyes. While it’s true that […]
