TIMEPIECES: Rolex Explorer II
Sometimes, the best answer is the simplest one.
Much like my pseudo-Chinese-proverb statement above, the Rolex Explorer II is an exploration into the simplest of designs which hit the mark for subtle awesomeness. You don’t always need to have a chronograph (that you will never use) nor do you need that white gold finish to make [...]
STYLE: Spy Specs
Remember when you were a kid and you just had to have all the accessories for your G.I. Joes? The hovercraft, the boat, the tank, the guns and all the other paraphernalia made everything just so – complete.
There was no way Snake Eyes was going to go into battle without his sword.
The same is true [...]

Sneakers, kicks, shoes, call them what you will, but separate yourself from the pack, man. I love mine. I don’t have Air Force 1’s. I don’t throw away my classic white K-Swiss because they’ve got a mark on them. But I do take my shoes seriously. I shop around and [...]

Psst. You. Yeah, you. The one wearing the khakis that look like cardboard. I’ve got a story to tell you. A while back when I was in a Niketown store I came across some of their golf attire. I saw a short sleeved shirt in a killer color and a great fabric. I bought it. [...]

I’m not a big fan of wearing shoes unless I have to and they are some kick ass shoes. Not kick ass like in a Bruce Lee kind of way, but kick ass in a Zoolander walk-off kind of way. California surf culture combined with increasingly acceptable casual fashion has led sandals to be pretty [...]
STYLE: Beach Blanket Bingo
As many of you are probably experiencing, Spring is starting to make its way to the forefront of our lives. For those in college, Spring Break is first on priority and for everyone else, it is signalling the coming of: beach days.
As a person that lives in Southern California and as someone who surfs, the [...]
STYLE: Nike N98 Jackets
The folks from uncrate.com pull through again with finding some of the dopest gear around with the Nike N98 series of track jackets.
We’ve previously written about vintage track jackets being fashion essentials, but these high tech versions are making us think twice about going old-school.
According to uncrate.com:
this new collection updates some of Nike’s classic designs [...]
FEATURE: Do Ivy League t-shirts make you seem smarter than you really are?
Every once in a while, I like to challenge my brain with men’s fashion scenarios. For example: does shirt-cocking with a tux top qualify as “semi-formal”? Or, does popping 4 collars at the same time make you 4 times a doucebag or just one big douchebag?
More recently, I asked myself this: Does wearing an Ivy League [...]
STYLE: Emporio Armani Suits
The first time I ever purchased an Emporio Armani suit I was hooked. It was one of those suits that I always got compliments for and continue to do so even after owning it for 6 years.
Since then, I continuously check out Emporio Armani to see what they have in stock and almost always like what they have. [...]
