i’ve been busy as a busy guy is busy

imagine that?

here’s to good health and rock n roll pie.

fashion week is coming up and you’ll be seeing quite a lot of me.

keep alive!…

I’ve always been a fan of the classic Mickey Mouse watch. As usual, leave it to the Japanese to perfect an American classic.

The classic Mickey Mouse watch was originally introduced in 1933 and made by the Ingersoll Waterbury Clock Co. of Waterbury, Conn.

This watch is actually made by Citizen in Japan. It’s a limited edition chronograph model and signifies the 10th anniversary of Jam Home Made.

For around ¥33,600 it’s all yours ($398), you all better beat me to it though.

…

Time to call that Japanese proxy of yours and score yourself these new kicks.

Museum Ark in Japan always do a great job customizing their Aldens. I love these PTB Boots with the gold eyelets and speedlaces. Museum Ark orders nearly all of their Aldens on the Modified (orthopedic) last, so they are great for my dang near flat feet.

Oh and dont forget that lovely soft crepe sole. Perfect for storming through the soon to be slush in the streets!

Style in Italy is so much more than what you wear. It’s all how you wear.

I look at photos of my Great Grandfather when he was in Venice, and Rome- he wore a white linen suit with a straw hat. Designs that aren’t uncommon from what you would see nowadays. Italian tailoring is mostly still made the same way. Hand cut, hand sewn and always classic simple design.

No drop crotch ninja pants here, sorry Rick Owens.

De Corato’s Fall Collection recently hit the shops and it endorses my point countless times over.

Simple design, great fabric, impeccable quality but nothing out of the ordinary. Now, you might read that and be like “pshh he’s ripping on it!”

No, …

have finally arrived at J. Press

This year they added a sportier version of their popular Bobcap!

I have a couple of the bobcaps and hands down, they are the best hats you can buy for the money. Keep you warm, look good and if your lady wears it it will hold the smell of her hair! (weird but everyone that reads this knows exactly what I mean)

Check em out!

…

The other day, I dropped by Brooks Brothers to check out their new arrivals. I was quite surprised…A soft jacket?! No shoulder pads!?…

Furniture from the set of Mad Men!

Right now Mad Men is auctioning off props and furniture from the show. Proceeds go to charity.

Just imagine, you can own a couch that comes built in with drunken debauchery!

Check out the auctions here!…

It’s now that part of summer that you just kind of want to go away.

Fall seems to be getting closer and closer, too bad it still can’t come fast enough.

And of the few pieces that I pull out of storage, I always look forward to my shetland sweater.…
