Simple style advice for the modern man.
I’ve been writing about eyewear quite a bit this year. And as I mentioned recently, I’ve noticed that more men seem to be approaching spectacles as a collector’s item rather than a purely functional product. While I might not be quite at that level (…yet), I definitely know that managing a pile of glasses in random cases is a bit unwieldily. The best solution that I’ve come up with is now available at Lost Monarch—an eyewear briefcase. […]
In what seems to be a rite of passage in the world of menswear, I recently returned from a trip to Japan. All roads inevitably end here when it comes to niche hobbies—it doesn’t matter if you’re into fashion, food, or flower arrangements. I split my time between Tokyo and Kyoto, and found both cities to be wonderful and absolutely packed with things to explore. […]
Two years ago I wrote about how excited I was about for the newest shirt fabrics from Proper Cloth, my favorite shirtmaker. The low twist flannels were super heavy, textured, and had great colors as well—I immediately bought two, and they have been in my weekly rotation ever since. They weren’t offered at all last year but it looks like they just restocked, and new colors were added as well. […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, in my opinion. With summer officially behind us we can shift our focus to what we’ve all been waiting for – not just platitudes of the incoming autumnal season, but previews of Fall/Winter collections. […]
I’m spending the week in small-town Montana, located a couple hours from the comparatively buzzing metropolises of Bozeman and Missoula. Though the total population may be less than the city block that I currently live on, the town takes the Labor Day rodeo and festivities very seriously. I’m sure I’ll stick out like the Californian […]
I’ve been writing about menswear for over ten years now, and it’s not often that a new brand attracts seemingly unanimous interest in the fashion space. We’ve seen lots of niche brands become darlings of certain groups with similar interests, but universal enthusiasm isn’t that common. Jacques Marie Mage seems to be one of these brands, though, as everyone from movie stars and pro athletes to prep enthusiasts and watch nerds is watching them with great interest. […]
I’ve made mention on numerous occasions that I dream about owning a Rolex 1016 Explorer. Unfortunately, my dream is also the dream of many others, and there simply aren’t enough of these vintage watches to go around. The silver lining is that the 1016 has become one of the most “riffed”-upon watches out there in […]
There’s no denying that western-inspired fashion has been gaining momentum in recent years. Denim shirts can be seen under everything from leather jackets to navy blazers. Turquoise rings peek out from under heavy winter coats in high-end lookbooks. […]
When I start to think about a new menswear purchase I tend to spend a lot of time planning, pondering, and researching. This surely comes as no surprise, given that I have been having most of those thoughts out loud on this website for over eleven (!) years. But eyewear is hard to plan like that – sometimes you put a pair on your face and immediately realize that this is now your look. There is a bit of serendipity to the process that can’t be analyzed or scrutinized, and that was the exactly case with the Moscot Dahven. […]
There are certain hobbies that menswear-y guys seem to be inevitably drawn to. For some, it’s cigars and vintage sport cars. Others choose negronis as a lifestyle. Maybe it’s fly-fishing, scotch, or something else entirely, but one thing’s for sure – there’s always going to be another hobby. […]
