Kosher T-Shirt

Something for everyone, or just me.
Nothing makes me laugh quite like my collection of t-shirts from Israel. I’m always searching for a lost shirt, one that said “The ShinBet is watching you.” in Arabic.
Another favorite is this one.

Classic Navy Pea Coat

Until I recently, and completely, changed my style of professional attire - the navy pea coat was my jacket of choice.
Elegant in its simplicity, supremely comfortable and as warm as you could want — I’d wear this walking the mean streets of Sausalito or on tranquil strolls of New York City. I found my thinsulate [...]

Esquire is running a great slideshow showing the “Evolution of Men’s Style” from 1933 to 2008. I wish there was more commentary on each image — and even with forty some-odd images, I still wish there were more images, too! — but it’s a great primer for understanding teh last several generations of formal and [...]

Seems Belstaff, an Italian clothes-maker, decided to name a line after Steve McQueen and use his image to promote it. Perhaps asking the family would have been a good idea.

How Inexpensive Suits are Made

Esquire.com is running a short piece on Singaporean tailor who can turn out custom designer knock-off suits for about $600 a pop. And his employees seem to make a pretty fair wage, too, albeit not what would be paid to Saville Row cutters and sewers. [Esquire.com]

Polo Collector’s Trunk

I don’t wear polo shirts that often (upper or lower case), but I love this 40th anniversary Polo Collector’s Trunk from Ralph Lauren, which includes 40 different Polo shirts in a handsome leather case. Only five large!
I have never owned a Polo-brand polo shirt before. Is there anything that sets the brand name ones apart [...]

It’s a trick question: I just bought them, so they must be dapper.

Cordarounds latest iteration of their reversible smoking jacket now features “Vagisoft” pockets, which they describe as feeling like the “womb of a marshmallow mermaid.”

I like my sneakers loud, right? I figure if you’re going to wear some high tops, make them look hot. GBX has taken this concept to its tragic extreme in an exercise in design literalism that squirts the words “RADIOACTIVE” and “DANGER” across the sides of these shoes. The blue ones look like they were [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0

» We just cracked a 750 of “Forêt,” an organic saison from Brasserie Dupont. The reviews on Beer Advocate are sort of mixed, but as far as I’m concerned it’s a knockout: bright, light, full of the best tastes of summer. One of the best saisons I’ve ever had. # 1
