New Obsessions- Zegna
If you’ve known me outside of this blog for any amount of time, you’ll know that there’s a very special portion of my heart that is solely dedicated to my hatred of Crocs. I’ve thought about it long and hard (and had to defend my point of view from my coworkers who all seem obsessed…

New Obsessions – NN07
Good lord it’s been a minute, huh. I haven’t been writing for a while since school’s been the main thing taking up all of my time (that, and working), but now that it’s Christmas break I’ve finally got time to open up my laptop and digest a little bit of what’s been going on. From…

New Obsessions: Amundsen Sports
During my first downhill ski experience last year I managed to take a fall that was so hard I thought I died and went to heaven. It was… educational, and I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t see where my skis and poles had gone. Or maybe that was the snow now caked onto…

Rules of Adornment
I don’t own a lot of jewelry as a general rule (at least, not yet). It wasn’t something that I was overly confident in experimenting with in high school outside of a simple silver ring I used to wear on my pointer finger, so when I finally started to explore and look at what I…

New Obsessions – Nanushka
I have to be brutally honest. This post is filed under “New Obsessions”, but my infatuation with Nanushka has been running strong for about two years. Indeed, the first time I saw the brand was when I was stalking the website of a company that I have wanted to work with for quite some time.…

From Away – Todd Snyder x L.L. Bean
I don’t know what I expected to see when I opened Instagram a few days ago and had the usual torrent of ads pop up. I mean there were the usual things like terrible games and brands that I follow doing collection announcements, but I was completely unprepared to see the names “Todd Snyder” and…

New Obsessions – Ginew (Gih-noo)
Of all the companies I could choose to cover with this blog, this company stands proud as the only Native American owned denim collection in the world. Crafting what the owners call “Native Americana”, Ginew honors the familial legacy of Erik Brodt and Amanda Bruegl while at the same time looking forward and collaborating with…

New Obsessions – Nisolo
There is a need for companies to step up in terms of sustainability. In terms of ethically produced materials and practices that leave the most minimal impact on the planet. There’s a need for companies who support their workers, invest in their communities and are transparent about the work that they’re doing to hold themselves…

New Obsessions – Imogene + Willie
Something I note about a website (or a store), often before I even start looking through the products, is the way that the owners or creators play with color. There’s more research surrounding the way that colors are put together and the way that those colors make you feel. So when I went to go…

Flannel’s Law(s)
Every man, regardless of where they live, where they work or what their “ideal aesthetic”is, should own at least one flannel. It’s the workhorse of the modern-man’s wardrobe, being accessible in so many cuts and finishes that it would be impossible to have a men’s blog and fail to mention the myriad of options that…
