Tretorn

I own a pair of Tretorn's, and they are definitely one of my best all-time buys.  If you haven't yet, check them out here.  Knowing the quality of their products, I would definitely be interested in another pair.  This is what I'm thinking about now.

Skyrma SL Canvas $70

Let the three guys next to you wear Converse, you can stand out in these.

Winter in the Summer

It's so hot outside.  In fact, you know its really hot whenever Spike Lee's twitter timeline is blowing up.  #DoTheRightThing.

Anyways, even if you can't feel cold this summer, at least you can wear it.

CHRISTMAS REINDEER SEASONAL PATTERNED BLUE MEN'S T-SHIRT $19

It comes from a pretty weird site, but I like it.

Get the Look

I've said it before that I really want a pilot's watch.  And if I didn't have a budget to worry about, I think this IWC is classic.

Pilot's Watch Mark XVI $4,100

Unfortunately, that's a bit out of my price range.  But if you want the look, without the price, I think this next watch is a good alternative.

MARATAC™ MID PILOT AUTOMATIC WATCH $195

I don't like how much negative space there is, but either way its cool.

Keepin' it Glassy

Thanks to the amazingness of pinterest, I recently stumbled upon a new site that I love:

www.hisforhome.com

I highly recommend taking a look through it if you're looking to upgrade a few items around the house.  As my make-believe bar continues to grow, right now I have two more things that I would like to add.

Shot Glasses $47

It's always nice to have a few shot glasses lying around, and these will look great just about anywhere.  And no matter what cocktail your making, if it demands a highball glass, these look pretty smooth.

Glasses $47

Retro style, Mad Men-esqe.  Just don't be the guy who drops one.

MWC

Steven Alan strikes again.  I love this MWC Chronograph.

SWISS LIMITED EDITION CHRONOGRAPH $220

Happy Friday,

Fun Socks

Everyone is a sucker for some fun socks, and I got a great response about the Stance Socks I posted a while back.  So when I was scrolling threw a sale on Jackthreads.com, I knew I had to post these.

Ozone Fair Isle Socks $10

They are super loud, but also super awesome.  I may have just purchased them... At 10 bucks, why not?

Same Watch, New Colors

A few days ago I posted a rolex inspired watch by Jam Home Made.  Here it is in black.

Jam Home Made Diamond Watch

It took me a while to find a few pictures of this watch in some of the alternate colors, but I still think they are worth sharing.  Even if they are a few days late...

Looks good in classic army green, but I think I prefer it in bright red.

Happy Friday

Boots

Everybody knows converse, and I feel like a lot of people have had a pair of Jack Purcell's at one point in their life.  At least I know that my Grandpa has.

Sprint Grip Oxford Sneakers $30

Those are 40 dollars off on parkandbond.com, not too shabby.  I'm not sure if I would buy them, but I would definitely buy this Jack Purcell inspired boot.

CONVERSE X MASAFUMI WATANABE JP JOHNNY DUCK BOOT HI $150

I usually hate traditional boots, so I think this a cool alternative.

Happy National Donut Day!

I just stopped into a Dunkin' Donuts a few hours ago, and I got a free donut with my coffee.  Apparently, today is national donut day.  There's some long backstory, but we don't need to go there. However, in honor of this glorious day, I am going to make my first food related post.  Ground breaking I know.

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine introduced me to Doughnut Planet in NYC, and it is delicious.

Although everything is good, my favorites are the carrot cake and the tres leches.  So if you're ever in Chelsea or the Lower East Side, why not step in for a delicious donut.

Looks pretty good huh?

Back to Basics

The past couple of days have been all about accessories -- shoes, watches, and other gadgets.  I felt like it was time for something a bit more basic.  I've stated my J.Crew reservations a few times in this blog, but I think this simple Henley is classic.

Slub Jersey Henley Top $40

But if you're looking for something a bit more unusual, what do you think of this unique "button down" from Boden.

Oxford Old School $68

I've never worn anything like that, and I'm not even sure what this type of shirt is called.  Either way, I kind of like it.  And lastly, if you're just looking for something relaxed to wear, I really like this simple shirt from Service.

Lines T-shirt $28

Happy Friday,
