ICU Eyewear: Form Meets Function

ICU Eyewear: Form Meets Function

I’m a guy lucky enough to have 20/15 vision. I’ve never had any major issues in my life with vision (knock on wood). However, as I approach 30, and as I spend all day at work staring into a computer abyss, my eyes are slowly starting to show their age. I thought it might be...
The Finest Timepiece: Seiko Astron

The Finest Timepiece: Seiko Astron

This is a sponsored post. Seiko paid me to write this article for their #AstronElite campaign. However, I actually used and lived with this watch, and they let me come up with my own conclusions and opinions. I have to say all this mumbo jumbo for the lawyers and whatnot. Now that we got that...
Osmium Mobius Belt

Osmium Mobius Belt

If you don’t know what a Mobius strip (named after August Mobius) is, you should first check it out–it’s worth it. After your mind is sufficiently blown, bring it back in and focus on this Osmium Mobius Belt. Much like the strip, the belt is one solid band (although what belt isn’t?) that connects in...
The Rakani +5 Watch

The Rakani +5 Watch

By now, you know the importance of wearing a watch; you’re a guy who has things to do, and you need to keep track of your day. However, there are a ton of watches out there, and most of them are either really cheap and poorly made, or they’re so overpriced that you might have...
Soxfords: The Ivy League of Socks

Soxfords: The Ivy League of Socks

I’m a simple guy, with simple pleasures. Among them are: copying signatures, smelling baking bread, and wearing fun socks. Soxfords happens to be experts in making fun socks, so I had to give them a shot. Pictured above are their “choco chip mints” socks, which are light green with black spots and some ice cream...
Send your Ties to Fat Camp with Skinnyfatties

Send your Ties to Fat Camp with Skinnyfatties

If you’re like me, you probably don’t want to pay more than around $30 for a tie. Let’s be real: ties are some of the most marked-up in price pieces of clothing a guy will wear. That said, finding a slim and modern-shaped tie for $30 or less is often a challenge because modern and...
The Beautiful Simplicity of H&B London Wallets

The Beautiful Simplicity of H&B London Wallets

For a man, getting a new wallet is something that requires its own amount of pomp and circumstance. Most guys get a leather wallet and use it for a decade, leaving guys with a perfectly smooth, aged, and shaped wallet that is perfectly theirs. This is why wallets usually make terrible gifts, unless you have specific...
Cleverfit Collar Stays: Adjustable Stays for Any Shirt

Cleverfit Collar Stays: Adjustable Stays for Any Shirt

Collar stays are like cufflinks and button studs: small, subtle accessories that a man can use to take his look from good to great. I recently tried the Cleverfit adjustable collar stays, a recent Kickstarter project that successfully raised over $48,000. That’s not too shabby for some collar stays. The Cleverfit PR team reached out to...
Yes, Men Can Wear Jewelry Too: A Review of Degs & Sal

Yes, Men Can Wear Jewelry Too: A Review of Degs & Sal

Men and jewelry: a tricky subject. While I think most women would agree with me that it’s important for men to accessorize, it’s far too easy to go overboard and veer off into trashy bling territory. Put on a chain, add a gold bracelet, maybe a flashy watch and a couple of rings, and oops,...

Her website features a whole host of unique accessories for guys who want to stand out but stay subtle. Her best-selling items are the shotgun shell cuff links, which I tend to like (as...
An Interview With Kiel James Patrick

An Interview With Kiel James Patrick

Kiel James Patrick is perhaps the most famous best-kept secret in American handmade wares. His belts, bracelets, ties, and other accessories are sold worldwide but only in the most discerning of retail stores. What drew my attention was Kiel’s attention to detail–from his accessories to his surroundings–and his love for quality-made and American-inspired products. Wanting...
