Menswear Dog

A three year old shiba inu living in NYC with a panache for all things style isn't my idea of a great foray into menswear, but the attention to detail and sleek execution make this a blog worth following. The dog is cute as expected, but the menswear advice is genuinely worth heeding, right down to the tie bar and boot selection. The headline might read, 'Man's Best Friend Outdresses Man'.

How To Tie A Bow Tie

Vans Fall Era Brogue

This shoe speaks to me. Straight from the pages of Esquire and Skateboard magazine; or somewhere in between. The combination of premium suede, full grain leather & brogue detailing along with the signature metal eyelets and waxed cotton laces offers up the best of Vans and a proper brogue shoe. Go ahead gentlemen.

Cris and Marcelo Rosenbaum x The Selby

I often criticized my parents home for resembling a museum. Not in the abundance of art or expensive things. There were no glass ornaments or bejewelled eggs. But in the unspoken rules of conduct. The guidelines you outlined for visiting friends. Where you can sit, how loud to speak and how to avoid unwanted fingerprints on the coffee table. What strikes me most about these Selby photographs of Cris and Marcelo Rosenbaum's home is the ways in which creativity is encouraged while still maintaining their carefully curated exhibition of beautiful things. They seem to live in a museum that offers itself up to fingerprints and spilled paint. A fine balance I aim to achieve myself someday.

Someday I'd like to have a home like this and a tweed jacket like that.

Sperry Seamate Chukka

One glowing piece to the Sperry Fall 2011 offering is this handsome Seamate Chukka. This topsider with a little more top has a genuine leather hand-sewn upper and the typical 360 lacing system & rustproof eyelets. Another one to file under #pumpedupkicks.

Five of the Best Brogues

Here's to hoping one day I'll smarten up and take Esquire UKs advice on the purchase of a good, solid pair of brogue shoes. Which says something like 'smart, but not too smart.' My eyes are set on #3, the Tan Archie Brogues by Grenson.

Vans California Chukka Boot Nordic Pack

Vans used to be nothing more than a Jeff Spicoli cultural touchstone for me. I got my first pair late in life. Then another. And another. An OTW here. A surfrider there. Set to release their California collection, these Chukka Boots have a distinct Nordic pattern, leather laces and the gripped soles and orange tags we've come to expect from the good folks at Vans. That's why these pumped up kicks are described as 'dope' by nearly every Hypebeast reader. When you hang a pair over a clothesline, and photograph them like they've always been there, you've made a dope kick. Well done, Vans.

The Horse

Daydream Lily tipped me off to a clever design pair under the moniker The Horse. Creating leather shoes of the highest quality, the duo have struck out on a vision of upholstery for the feet full of character. They border on ultra hipster; which could border on pretentious and uncomfortable had their collection for guys and gals not maintained that classic look. Then they went and named each shoe a name from a generation ago. Rupert, Evelyn, Ernest, Thelma, Henry. Also clever.

Vans OTW Holiday Cobern

Surfrider brand Vans adds the holiday Cobern to its already impressive two thousand & eleven OTW collection. A boat shoe 'without all the bells and whistles', the Cobern has the potential to take Ezra Koenig comfortably into middle age.

The great Theophilus London will debut his signature shoe tonight at the Cole Haan shop in SoHo. The blue suede buck has all the swagger of Mr. London, with gold lace tips & eyelets as well as the man's signature embossed on each sole. Free jerk chicken and drinks included.

Backyard Bill

What seems like thousands of athletic balls are dumped on the floor of my elementary school gymnasium and tossed across the half court line while my elated classmates scream 'don't throw your junk in my backyard, my backyard, my backyard's full.' That was a game reserved for the best of days and the best of teachers looking to win some cache with students.

What sartorial photographer & blogger Backyard Bill isn't concerned with in the least - ironically or not - is the junk in your backyard. He's interested in style. Straightforward and direct in his pursuit of what geographical location, astrological signs and grown up aspirations might create the best conditions for a notable style. Whereas; the time popular blogger & style photographer Todd Selby invests in the objects on the shelf, the collection of kitsch in the background and the stack of books in the corner, Backyard Bill spends raiding the closet and hitting the streets. A refreshing approach with brilliant results. Alike Mr. Selby, Backyard Bill is a biographer. An admirable pursuit by any measure.

Nike Sportswear Match Classic

The staple Match Classics from Nike are the quintessential tennis shoe. Not the space boots the ATP boys wear today but the style we appropriate for the street. This latest issue has been deconstructed in its structure with distinct black laces, rich leather and classic white midsole.

Oakley Frogskins Blacklight Pack

When you resurrect the Frogskin in two thousand and eleven the natural progression is to trick them out in neo-neon hues then make them talk under a blacklight. Oakley did just that along with polarized lenses and a limited run in seven gnarly colours that will make this a truly sought after pack.

Spelanker Anorak Jacket

I have a jacket just like this. Vintage Lacoste. Same colour. Same cut. Same classic hood. Yet the consumer in me still wants the stylish front pocket and pullover style of the Spelanker Anorak jacket from the NEXUSVII fall collection.
