A Standard Shirt Review
Standard shirt approached me to do a review of their shirt after they read my review on Indochino! Obviously, I jumped at the chance; who doesn’t like a crisp, white shirt?

Accessories Can Spice up Your Sartorial Game
It seems like girls have all the fun when it comes to accessorizing. They get necklaces, earrings, piercings, belts, and bracelets. Most guys are still under the impression that you don’t get to add personality when you get to dress up. However, I’m here to tell you that this mindset is wrong. Menswear has a few functional accessories that are definitely able to be used to step up your suit game. In this article, we’re going to look at some of my picks as my favourite types of menswear accessories.
The Greatness of Going Double Breasted
Worn by stylish gents of the 1930s-40s, the double breasted jacket is a garment that just screams “vintage”. It’s still popular today among bespoke/classic menswear enthusiasts, but it still largely avoided by the mainstream menswear community. It could be the fact that it’s pretty hard to find good ones out in the wild. I’m here to tell you that this piece is worth the investment. It’s just so great.
SuitSupply’s Advertising is Still Just as Sexist and NSFW as Ever
Three weeks ago, Suit Supply teased their new ad campaign “Toy Boys” with an odd picture of a model’s sunglasses clad head peaking out from a woman’s mouth. Seemed pretty funny and odd, just like the very effective Old Spice commercials. However, this was completely wrong. 9 hours ago, they started unveiling their latest ad campaign on Instagram. And it is terrible, not to mention very NSFW.
Indochino: A Made to Measure Review
Please note that this review was updated in a 2nd article. Click here to see it!
Recently, I made a point to try out a MTM suit by Indochino, a custom suiting and shirt company started in 2007. I have seen other reviews of this service by Articles of Style, Dappered, and even the Young and Fine Gentleman. To try it out for myself, I saved up a couple hundred bucks and purchased a suit, made from the measurements I provided.
Now this review was written a while ago, since I have worn this suit (after tailoring) many, many, many times. This review shows the original, unaltered garment that I received right out of the box.
Pitti Peacocks
Even though Christmas is done, there’s one holiday that stylish men look forward to every January in Firenze: Pitti Uomo.

“Classically Effortless” ft. Chad Park and B&Tailor
Suits have a bad rap. Menswear bloggers today are dedicated to making suits and formal wear look as casual as possible. For example, Dan Trepanier has an article on wearing Henley’s with your suit and HVRMINN wears Nike’s with his sharp DB’s. It seems that the suit (and its traditional accoutrements) has not shaken its pariah status among the masses. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all about dressing down a suit, but I’m still a standing fan of the classic suit worn. To my knowledge, there’s only a few men that can make wearing a suit look natural and easy, and I have the pleasure of featuring one of those masters. I present Chad Park from B&Tailor.
The Awesomeness of High-Waisted Trousers
Clothes are meant to make the most out of your body. Even if you’re not the fittest guy, a well-tailored piece can still make you look a million bucks! One example is the high-waisted trouser; It’s an old school detail that sets you apart from all the other #menswear guys around you.
The Basic Green Jacket
Last time we talked about interesting ways to start layering up for fall. No one really double-layers their cardigan, dons a turtle neck, or wears a grandpa blazer, so I suggested these tips to try and add some pop to your fall/winter wardrobe. But this next article is going to take a page from the ladies. Its time that more guys start wearing the Basic Green Jacket.
Creative Layering for Fall
Fall is finally heading to California and it’s time to embrace the cold with some much-needed layering. But do you want some ways to stand out other than the typical sweater? Read on!
