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…

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…

Lord of the Rings Masculinity
So, a while ago, I was scrolling through Facebook – something that I’ve been trying to do less and less of late – when I saw a picture of a tweet that addressed something called “Lord of the Rings Masculinity”. I mean, any sort of reference to the greatest trilogy of books ever written and…

Beginning to Revise the Rhetoric
“Fly, you fools.” – Gandalf, also known as Stormcrow I have the unique pleasure of attending a university that – for the vast majority of the student population – remains very well-dressed and externally confident. That’s not really who I’m intending to preach to with this particular post. I mean sure, confidence is not something…
