A lot can happen in four and a half years. This was particularly apparent in the “Menswear Map” I made in 2014, which was in dire need of an update. Many new stores have appeared in the area, many have shut their doors, and a good handful have found new addresses in the city. With that in mind, I’ve refreshed this super cool interactive map that should help everyone out, whether you’re just in town for the afternoon or you’re a seasoned local looking for a new place to get a haircut.
Product Review: Garrett Leight ‘Hampton’ and Replace-A-Lens
I have a love-hate relationship with glasses. Mostly a hate-relationship, actually. Although I like the idea of glasses as an accessory, that loses its appeal when the accessory becomes a daily necessity.

Buying Guide: P3 Glasses
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 […]

The Summer Staples, Revisited
Last year I posted a photo outlining my core pieces for the Spring and Summer months. As I anticipated, I did wear all those items extensively last year, and continue to do so now. However, my lifestyle has changed a bit in the past year and I find myself having less opportunities to wear sportcoats […]
