A Closer Look: Linjer Leather Goods
As many of you know, this blog rarely focuses on the most expensive or least expensive items out there. There are other sites that write about the polar ends of the menswear spectrum; instead, I try to find products that provide the best value, and that is rarely present on the extreme ends of what […]
Buying Guide: Chukka Boots
The leaves are starting to change colors (or so I’m told), everyone’s talking about pumpkin spice lattes, and the dollar is gaining ground on the euro. When put together, these signs can only mean one thing – it’s time to grab some autumnal footwear. The chukka boot is an incredibly versatile shoe and is perfectly […]
Out & About: A visit to The Armoury NYC
In the same way that our online personas are rarely identical to the way we live “IRL”, I have found that stores usually offer very different experiences between their online presence and physical locations. On the one hand, there are great stores that have existed for decades and are just now beginning to realize the power […]
Out & About: A Visit to the No Man Walks Alone HQ
When I visited New York last year I had the opportunity to meet many of the great people behind some of my favorite companies. One such person is Greg Lellouche, who founded No Man Walks Alone last year. Like I said then, Greg and his team have done a great job of finding wonderful items across a broad […]
A Better Blue Blazer
If you read about classic men’s clothing as often as I do, you’ve probably heard the navy blazer described as “the best piece a man can own,” “the most versatile item in a man’s closet,” “worth investing in,” and with other overly simplistic catchphrases. Although I think that the traditional navy blazer configuration (with its with […]
From Squalor to Baller is 2 Years Old!
I started this blog May 6, 2012, after attending the Styleforum 10 Year Anniversary party and meeting several great people in the “hashtag-menswear” community. I wanted to keep in touch with all these fun folks so I created tumblr blog to stay in the loop. I slowly began to use it as a place to write, since […]
Second Life
I am no stranger to used clothes. Although I’m not a skilled thrifter like Ben or Jason, I still hunt for used clothing on websites like eBay and Styleforum in order to buy high-quality goods that would normally be outside of my price range. Buying used clothing is a great option from a fiscal perspective, […]
An Evening with Friends
In a few hours I’m heading down the street to a private event at the new Ghurka store in San Francisco. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing their products up close, as well as hanging out with the SF menswear gang. Here’s what I’m thinking about wearing…we’ll see if I change my mind. That scarf […]
Product Review: Conrad Wu Ties
A month or two ago my good friend Jacob asked me if I had any experience with Conrad Wu ties – he had just ordered one himself, and was very excited to see the product firsthand. I admitted that I was not familiar with the company, but after perusing the website I was very intrigued and subscribed […]
Coming to America – A Visit to the Meermin Trunk Show
One of my most anticipated stops during the recent trip to NYC was the Meermin trunk show last week. The brand has been getting lots of press in the past year or two and I have been increasingly curious about their wares. The problem, though, is that their shoes are only physically present at their […]
