Simple style advice for the modern man.
Those of us that put significant effort into our dress often tell others the importance of buying well-made things. Quality over quantity, buy better than you think you can afford, and so forth. Although I don’t believe that this mantra needs to be applied to every purchase, it is certainly something to strive for. This […]
This is the first installment in a series about events that shaped the way I dress. These stories may or may not be relevant to you but hopefully they offer a perspective that isn’t often seen on the internet. One mantra we all hear a lot in the #menswear community is the importance of finding […]

There are many places to find great horn, mother-of-pearl, leather and metal buttons: thrifting and ebay are always good options and there many online […]
I wear a tie several times per week for my job (although it is by no means required), and for that reason I have been planning on slowly upgrading my small collection of mid-range ties to an equally small collection of high-end ties. I saw an opportunity to do that when menswear newcomer Linkson Jack […]
I’m about to embark on my first ever business trip (I was going to head to NYC last month but then Sandy happened).
