Simple style advice for the modern man.
Like many people that read this blog, one of my favorite pastimes is researching an item of clothing in search of the “perfect one” – the piece that will be the ultimate addition to my wardrobe. I do this in part because I try to keep my wardrobe relatively simple and utilitarian, but also because […]
When I was in New York in January I made a point to stop by the No Man Walks Alone HQ on 37th St. to say hello to Greg and Kyle and to check out their current stock. The small team always has an incredible selection of items in their showroom, and although the prices […]
Every now and again someone has the gumption to tell me that I’m lucky to have poor vision because it allows me to wear glasses. Although I hardly think a life of near-blindness is a good trade for another accessory to spend money on, I won’t deny that glasses can be very cool. It should […]
Menswear nerds like myself seem to enjoy talking about “essential” items, and footwear in particular – much has been written about the necessity of the black captoe, the brown brogue, the penny loafer, the suede chukka, and so forth.

This list is for the men that deserve our gratitude this year – maybe it’s a brother, a father, a friend, a husband, or someone else entirely. No matter what […]
Although I feel that full-grain calfskin shoes should probably be the cornerstone of a small shoe wardrobe like mine, I can’t seem to keep myself from gravitating towards suede. Some men seem overly concerned that suede is difficult to maintain or is “out of style” for some strange reason, but I have never had an […]
Long-time readers of this site have grown accustomed to the fact that my wardrobe isn’t particularly fancy or extensive; I’m a pretty normal guy with a pretty normal amount of expendable income, and for that reason I tend to stick to the basics when purchasing clothing. Navy blazers, grey slacks, brown shoes and light blue […]
I’ve seen many deceptive things written by clothing retailers, and quite a few of them involve the word ‘perfect’.
