It’s been a fundamental problem of mine. I enjoy the zero-carbon footprint feel of riding past gridlocked vehicles in town on my GT mountain bike; the challenge therein is doing it while suited up because my trouser cuffs always get stained with bicycle grease from the gear train no matter how carefully I ride. The […]

I’ve always held a fascination for croc skin. From perceptible to borderline imperceptible textures, it’s the detail and refinement that goes into a croc skin product (be they shoes, wallets, belts or bags) that turns me on (in an emotional sense. I’m not a pervert). That said, even though these Yves Saint Laurent men’s shoes […]

Viktor & Rolf Men’s Patent Leather Loafers You know what’s great about the Italians? They’re purveyors of great looking men’s style. Viktor & Rolf is no exception, turning heads and catching eyeballs with their latest patent leather loafers.

I love Christopher Bailey. Not just because the man has a flair for clean cut designs inspired by strict military style cuts, but also because he has a penchant for creating crazy demand through his truly exclusive offerings; Burberry Black Label is only available in Japan and for men looking for unique style, it’s a […]

It’s a persistent little social more, the idea that only boys wear shorts. Truth be told, I avoided shorts myself till recently when French designer Thierry Gillier, former Yves Saint Laurent auteur launched Zadig & Voltaire’s Spring Summer 2011 collection. Should shorts be kept firmly in the realm of casual wear? Yes. The sartorial bar […]

Dress Stylishly, Tote an iPad. Quite frankly, I think that Mohan’s is really answering a real market need for well dressed corporate and metrosexual types who’d prefer not to carry their brand new iPad 2 in their briefcase or man purse everytime they had to step out for a coffee or smoke. Sure, there are some really […]

For many, myself included, the 1920s will be best characterised by Prohibition and the 3 piece suits favoured by both G-men (FBI agents) and gangsters ala Al Capone himself. What started from a little noticed trend of fedora wearing celebrities like Timberlake and Johnny Depp has reached full circle two tone brogue shoe proportions driven […]

I’m sure that the Batman theme song circa Adam West is currently playing in your head (should you be an old foggy like myself) and I won’t blame you-retrotastic styling, curvy bodywork complete with wind busting tailfin it does bare some resemblence to the campy Caped Crusader’s vehicle of choice but what you’re looking at […]

I just wrote a short blurb on Euromasters Classic Porsche reproductions for Augustman.com and it really got me thinking about the history and heritage of this automotive icon. Sure, I might get unduly tempted to spend hard earned money on one after all the research but Euromasters really makes it affordable for you to own […]

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with Swarovski. It’s undeniably female, yet from what I saw last about their men’s accessories, Natalie Collins, a lead designer for the brand really has a bead on things. Whether it’s nurturing up and coming young designers or serving up bling for rappers and women of leisure everywhere, it […]
