Simple style advice for the modern man.
As I’ve mentioned before, men’s clothing enthusiasts often tout the importance of buying high-quality products, an ideal that I generally agree with. Of course, few of us have the funds to buy the best of the best of everything, so the process of finding and purchasing clothing and accessories becomes more of a decision of when […]
I was recently contacted by Jan Klimo of Solosso, who asked if I was interested in trying out one of their shirts. As many of my readers know, I have tried several made-to-measure (MTM) shirting companies in the past, but the amount of companies that perform this service has grown wildly and they now are […]

I love knit ties. I wear a tie several times per week, and when I grab one from my closet I almost always end up reaching for a knit. In my opinion, their informal nature makes them that much easier to wear in a business casual setting. I have four knit ties, which isn’t a huge […]
Part III: The Final Product & Review Previously: Part I, Part II.

I recently swung by the Gustin HQ again to say hello and take a look at their new shirt offerings. The samples look quite nice – Japanese oxford and chambray with an unfused and lightly lined 3″ button-down collar. I tried one on and I’d say that they fit true-to-size but are reasonably slim. I wear a small in […]
I’ve had the good fortune of hanging out with the Gustin crew a couple of times, and a few weeks ago they were kind enough to offer me a pair of their jeans for review. There’s been a good deal of hype around Gustin’s jeans (mainly because of the killer pricepoint and unique denim options) […]
