It’s amazing how quickly things have turned on their head. One moment every brand was about to launch their Spring/Summer collection, and then suddenly some of them have ceased selling things completely, or are operating in a much smaller capacity. I had several product reviews ready to publish, but most of those products either aren’t […]
Made in the Suede
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 […]

Oh, and since I always get so many questions about where each item comes from in these posts, I’ve […]
Business Casual Basics, Part III: Shoes
Previously: Part I, Part II. This is the third installment for my fellow white collar ballers. If you’ve spent any time learning about men’s clothing (be it from family, friends, or the internet) you’ve probably heard a disproportional amount of talk about shoes.
