Ralph Lauren Rugby Striped Bow Tie
If you're going to wear a bow tie that's not black, then be sure to wear one that's got some personality yet isn't over the top. This rugby striped bow tie from Ralph Lauren will do nicely.
Jiffy Travel-Size Steamer
I don't travel that often, but how many times has Anna or I pulled a shirt or pair of slacks or dress out from our closet only to find that they are in need of ironing? I can't even answer my own question because it seems like this happens all the time (especially when we are running late for a wedding). A…
James Bond NATO Watch Straps
If you've picked up the Seiko Automatic Watch, or already have a watch that can use a nylon strap, then the James Bond NATO strap is your ticket to a slightly more fun, interesting, and perhaps even more dangerous watch. These handsome fellows are available in various thicknesses from 18mm to 22mm, and in all different colors. (Thanks, Ken.)
Plaid Wool Tie
If your tie collection is in want of something with a lot of personality this may be your lucky day.
Burton Mix Master Mitts
Few things in life are better than a day on the slopes. And music makes everything better. But loose wires and half-open jacket pockets are not things you want on the back country. Moreover, have you ever tried to adjust the volume or skip to the next track using that little white remote on the iPhone earbud cable while wearing your warm…
UGG Australia Men’s Ascot Leather Slippers
The first thing I do every day is make a cup of coffee. But before I make that AM trek to the kitchen I put on my UGGs. And, since I work from home, I often wear the UGGs all day. UGG slippers are known for their quality and longevity as well as their comfyness. (Is comfyness even a word?) Right now…
Scott Allan 4 Pack of 100% Woven Striped Ties
Speaking of dressing up… with at least one well-fitting white collared shirt and one nice suit, you can pretty much dress for any occasion by using your tie and pocket square as the only variables. It's amazing how the color and pattern of a tie can be all you need to set the mood of your outfit. And so, assuming you already…
Solid Color, Silk Pocket Squares
Gentlemen, Fall is nearly here. That means Fall weddings, Fall formal events, and any other excuse to get out and put on your suit coat now that the days are getting cooler again. And in this man's humble opinion, there is no better way to dress up a suit coat than with a neatly-folded, solid-colored pocket square. I suggest silk for formal,…
Banana Republic’s Shawn Sunglasses (Seriously)
Though I much prefer the look of the TOMS Classic 301, how could I not list these aviators from Banana Republic?
Seiko 5 Men’s SNK809 Automatic Watch
The day you start wearing an automatic watch is akin to the day you start shaving with a classic safety razor. Automatic watches are self-winding and need no battery (the movement of your arm throughout the day is what keeps them going). And they are normally quite expensive. However, this classy watch from Seiko is currently on a fire sale over at…
Waxed Canvas Apron
They say people who work with their mind like to unwind by working with their hands. When I'm not writing I enjoy woodworking. I built my own desk (the very one I am typing this parenthetical sentence on), and my next project will be a storage trunk slash coffee table for our den. When doing fine woodworking a hearty and comfortable apron…
TOMS Classic 301
What's the sunglass style that never goes out of style? The Aviator. The Classic 301 from TOMS (which comes in several colors, but I like orange best) is a modern twist on that classic look. And if you buy a pair of the 301s then TOMS will give a pair of glasses to a person in need.
