Back from vacation for me. Now it’s time for fall. I’m loving this Nigel Cabourn 1940’s Harris Tweed Coat.

The Sports Fan Bow Tie Pocket Square Clothing is an relatively new entrant to the menswear accessories market, but they have some solid offerings. It was founded last year by Rodolfo Ramirez and Andrew Cheung and has grown steadily since. Check out all their offerings.

Taylor Stitch Madras are in - perfect for summer.

There is something wonderful about a good shave. Perhaps it’s the calming scent of almond soap, the stiff resistance of a badge hair brush or one of the many other sensory delights it brings. It’s a task of necessity for almost everyone, but it needn’t be a chore. It can be an act of skill and an expression of tradition. You were taught the ways of those before you and as you grow so does you technique and that will be passed on to those after you.  Shaving is not the haphazard application of blade to whisker, it is an expression of self. A cathartic act of authentic self-direction.
