Inequality: Which are Socially Acceptable and Which are Not?
Foreign tourists are coming up to me on the streets and asking, “David, you have so many different kinds of inequality in your country. How can I tell which are socially acceptable and which are not?” This is an excellent question. I will provide you with a guide to the American inequality map to help […]

Channel Your Inner Stark: A Keyboard for any Great Industrialist
November 15, 2011
While Googling “Awesome keyboards” I came across this little tidbit tucked away 6 pages deep in search. I’m pretty sure even as I write this, the steampunked retrotastic data entry device must be rocketing up the search engine. Call me misogynistic, but nothing turns me on more than a babe lady in eyeglasses huddled over typewriter- in […]

Menswear 2011: HE by Mango Fall Winter Campaign
November 14, 2011
Apologies for the 2 week hiatus, work beckoned and as always, it’s nice to be gorgeously interrupted. Featuring Noah Mills and Brad Koenig, HE by Mango Fall Winter 2011 collection must be a definite reprieve for North America and alas, late for Australian climes. That said, HE by Mango has often held a siren call […]

Luxe Investment: Corthay Shoes from Monsieur Corthay
October 30, 2011
Pierre Corthay ranks amongst the best. That needed to be said upfront. A classically trained shoemaker, he apprenticed at luminary marques John Lobb and Berlutti and let me say unequivocally- the apple doesn’t fall very fair away from the shoemaking tree. Though Corthay shoes often straddle (rather successfully I might add) the line between what’s […]

The Best Looking Quartz Watch: Uniform Wares 250 Series Wristwatch
October 26, 2011
War, what is it good for? Definitely not absolutely nothing. Wrist watches for one, they got invented during the first World War. Lord knows but I’m guessing it’s not particularly healthy to stop as bullets whizz by while you try to fish your pocket watch from your trench coat (yes, the first trench coat was […]

Why Would Rolex Sign Tiger Woods? Because He’s Not a Hasbeen.
October 26, 2011
On one hand, we have the world’s most famous recognizable watch brands—casting its lot with a dude many consider a moral reprobate or, worse, a has-been. Has the famously precise Swiss timepiece maker finally sproinged its own gears? What on earth is Rolex thinking?

Menswear 2012: Gentlemen Looking Distinguished with Rose & Born
October 22, 2011
It’s not often that you find photo-shoots for menswear so decadently luxurious, to the sartorially inclined it’s akin to watching porn (oh the irony)- when it comes to the fine art of dressing like a gent it’s not easy for separate trendy from timeless. Thankfully, Rose & Born has taken a lot of the guesswork out […]

Affordable Luxury: Timex Intelligent Quartz T Flyback Chronograph
October 18, 2011
The thing about writing for magazines is that you are often beholden to advertisers (not biting the hand that feeds you and what not); While Bell & Ross have developed rather beautiful case and dial designs, I find their price tags a tad un-acceptable for luxury timepieces with stock ETA movements. Timex Intelligent Quartz T […]

Mad Men Style: McRitchie Cardigan Washed Shetland Camel
October 17, 2011
Everyone pays so much attention to the skinny tie, slim lapel suits on Mad Men that they fail to properly educate the wider public of dapper Monsieur’s out there to the retrolicious subtleties of living in the 1960s- what happens when career white collar professionals return to their sub-urban homes? The wife greets them with […]
