Ally Capellino Dave Navy Waxed Canvas Bag I have this thing for weekend bags in canvas; heck, I even covered a lunch bag made from the same material before, So when I saw this Ally Capellino – Dave, mens robust unlined waxed canvas bag from the Ally Capellino Donkey Collection, I literally spilt my Black Label sitting up.

Clifford Tassle Loafers from Grenson Clifford is Grenson’s take on a tassle loafer that was originally English but has been adoted by their friends in the US. Its soft, unlined and works just as well with jeans and without socks as it does with a suit; and speaking of suits, I just wrote about how […]

Canali makes one of the best suits in the world; If I had to sum it up, I would have to put my finger on their tradition in textiles that dates back to the 1900s. Two brothers, Giovanni and Giacomo Canali, artisans in their own right, holed up in Triuggio, Brianza to make well cut, […]

That said, this is one quartz perpetual calendar you should pay attention to. TX, […]

I’m not sure which grabbed me first, the “ooh so chic” purple silk jacket lining or the gray houndstooth check. The checks originated in woven wool from Scotland and today, though having found itself in more modern textiles is “back” in this wool blazer from Agnes B. From a distance, it’s similar to glen plaid […]

There’s no easy way to say this so I shall come right out and say it, “If you don’t have the money, there’s no point going into debt with a suit from Dior Homme, ETRO or some similarly high priced menswear designer.” That said, it’s not that I don’t endorse or don’t own a few […]

Born 14 October 1939 as Ralph Liftshitz, this American fashion designer and business extraordinaire single handedly elevated continental fashion design and imbued it with trans-international-pan-European aesthetics. This man is known today as Ralph Lauren. The son of Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants, Ralph’s sartorial inclinations were perhaps first forged in Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy; selling ties to his […]

Taking inspiration from Eastern work wear, Himalayan pioneers combining it with a British Raj colonial aesthetic, Eastie is a Brit heritage label that updates retro iconic looks into contemporary wear. Don’t know if wearing Eastie will turn you into Steve McQueen but the idea of stylish, wearable garments you can bring to the gym is […]
