T: It seems there are some hazards to wearing wrinkle free clothes (beside the fact that I think they look weird). Click the title above to read a New York Times article on the topic.

What Santa Brought Me

T: I got a few new articles of clothing this Christmas. In particular, I received these moleskin pants, a beautiful cordovan belt from my aunt and some colorful socks to cheer up my winter outfits. I also got a new version of this Land’s End knit tie. I bought this tie for myself about a year and a half ago but I recently lost it. Where? I do not know. Anyway, I’ve said it before...

Brady Straps

A: For all you who are still hanging on to that colorful cotton watch strap you bought this summer, it’s time to put it down. You don’t want to be unseasonably cheery (unless, of course, you happen to live somewhere where it’s not -1000 degrees; yes, this ex-cali kid is bitter) so it’s time to switch it up. A nice simple black or brown leather strap is a great choice, but...

Get a Suede Brush

A: Tom and I started writing this blog for two reasons: We wanted to share what we knew with guys similar to ourselves — well-intentioned, but not necessarily well-educated about what to wear, when to wear it, etc., and We wanted to learn more about how to dress like grown ups. And I have to say, I’m learning new things every day. I know this is something that I should already...

How to Travel This Holiday Season →

T: Valet did a really good post the other day about how to travel this holiday season. In fact, you should click the title above after you read our little blurb. (below the Beatles get land at JFK). Personally, I hate it when I see people getting onto planes in sweatpants and a hoodie. Flying is something that you pay a lot of money to do and you will be meeting a lot of new people. Kind of...

Anonymous asked: Hey Guys,

Love the blog. I recently came across a pair of Lauren by Ralp Lauren brown wool pants at the Ralp Lauren outlet for $30. Of course, I bought them. I just don't know how to and what to wear with them. They look a lot like this pair: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380298548867&_trksid=p1000003.m613

Christmas Wish List Parte Dos

T: Fine, I’ll admit it. I probably have too many articles of clothing. But, for all the people who are interested in my needless hopes and desires (chances you are because you read this blog), here are some of my sartorial wants this Christmas. Shirt: Like Andrew, I have been lusting after a Hamilton shirt for a while now. Why not this one? Shoes: I think of L.L. Bean Blutcher...

Oregon's BCS Championship Unis

A: Oregon and Nike just released their uniforms for the BCS championship game. They’re pretty hot, especially the dark grey helmets. But, honestly, I was hoping that they’d break out their Stormtrooper look that they wore when they completely dismantled my USC Trojans:

Holiday Help

T: For the love of god, please don’t be caught wearing one of these: I know a lot of guys who think that cheesy holiday ties are hilarious at parties this time of year but I think it’s not that funny. So there. Also, if you are the 5th person I have seen do it this year (and it’s still 11 days to Christmas), you aren’t that clever. The ironic ugly Christmas tie...

Moleskin, Winter's Chino

A: I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that it’s winter. You know when the High and the Low are both below 30 degrees and they’re only separated by three degrees you can’t fake it anymore. You also can’t wear chinos anymore. I learned this the hard way. You probably deal with this issue the same way I do: you brave it with jeans or if you need to be a bit...

A: I wanted to share this interesting new web app call Svpply with you all. It allows users save products that they like from around the web, and share them with others. It’s great for remembering stuff you like, but also for finding new stuff/inspiration. I’ve just got started, but I’m digging it a lot. You can check out our Svpply feed here.

Winter Socks

A: Marled, Heather, and Camp socks are all the rage right now, especially these J Crew versions. Marled Socks, J Crew $16.50 Camp Socks, J Crew, $16.50 Yet, the J Crew ones are a bit pricey for me. Check out the versions below at half the price from The Woodlands (which is a pretty sweet online store, btw). These are a little rougher around the edges than the J Crew ones (a quality that I...

Essential Casual Shoes

T: We have done a lot of posts lately on essentials that every man should own. I think that these posts are one of the best parts of what we do here. Every guy should own a few items that are versatile and look good on everybody. So, if I was forced to pick out a few pairs of casual shoes to wear for the rest of my life, I would pick one pair for each season. And the winners are: Spring:...
