Rob Sawyer: Sneakers for the summer →
I’d like to take a minute to revise last year’s summer sneaker post. I now have a few new options for you. Click on the shoe below to find out more.
I’ve never been a guy who’s really been big into sneakers. Ok, that’s a lie, as a kid I loved the damn things. I had the tightest fit thanks to the Reebok pumps and the brightest step thanks to L.A. Gear. Now I like my sneakers...

Purple scarves
When summer hits, I can’t help but think about the color purple. And it’s all because of that damn Sartorialist post containing the purple mocs. It sticks in my mind like an earworm. Don’t get me wrong, I love purple. I don’t consider it just a summer color. I like wearing it in all of the seasons. I’m really just tired of thinking about purple shoes and this post was...

I-I / e-store
I was happy to find out (Thanks Jeremy.) that Lapo has finally dropped the doobies long enough to make over his brand’s site. I’ve been a fan since I-I’s inception and I admire Lapo’s taste in clothing and cars. Not everyone can pull off or afford the garb that’s currently available in the updated e-shop quite like Lapo, but I do appreciate the fun and excitement of...

I made an app called Email Analyzer for Outlook
As you’ve probably realized, I haven’t been blogging a lot lately. Well, it’s because most of my day is spent answering and sorting emails. I’m not giving up on blogging yet, though. I’m trying to find the people who keep emailing me and to help me do so, I’ve created an application. It’s called the Email Analyzer for Outlook and it produces charts like...

Our pals from Street Etiquette and the talented designer Billy Reid visited with Guy Roz over at All Things Considered. Happy to hear from them, and nice to see that NPR picked the right folks (well… given that they didn’t pick us).

Clothing Credits dot com
Clothing Credits was born today, and although I’d like to take all of the credit, most goes to K on this one. She had the idea and I just made it happen using my righteous coding skills. The site likely has bugs, so if you see any, let me know.
The goal of the site is to collect as many clothing credits as possible. I figure these will come via submissions and everyday web browsing....

Banana Republic Safari and Travel Co.
When it comes to vintage jackets, it’s hard to beat a good Banana Republic jacket. In its heyday, the brand was run by Mel and Patricia and I have to say, they knew their stuff. Most items that I’ve found contain very little manmade fibers and are built to last. The buttons, zips, utility and craftsmanship is next level. Don’t take my word for it, listen to what Travis has to...

Community Season 2: Aerodynamics of Ugg
Community has been killin’ it lately. Do you agree? Don’t answer, I don’t really care. In last night’s episode, I couldn’t help but notice as Joel plopped his feet up that he had Uggs on. Yeah, I know. Uggs, the most comfortable shoe in the world! This isn’t the first time I’ve commented on Joel’s accessories. I’m always keepin’ tabs on...

A Beater Option - The Timex T2M564
(The Timex T2M564 is the third one from the left.)
If you were to ask me, I’d tell you to spend as much dough as you can on a nice watch. I’m also all about spending as little as possible on beater watches. You may have seen my last beater, but it’s time is up.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a party animal. Take a look at the image above and tell me that watch...

Brooklyn Industries Ellis Pea Coat
This weekend while walking around 23rd Ave., I stumbled upon a black watch pea coat that I think you might like. The mannequin wearing the pea coat was signaling me over through the windows of Brooklyn Industries, so I had to step in and try it on. I tried not to judge too hard, but as I got closer, I noticed that the mannequin was wearing white sneakers. Wuh? White sneakers and a black watch pea...

I'm In L.A.
I hate I’ve lost contact with you dick-riding fools, but last week was a busy one. I had to give my j.o.b 1000% of my energy in order to take a few days off. I’m down in L.A until Tuesday for a wedding and I’m having a great time.
Today I stumbled upon the Steven Alan/Dockers event that was happening at Steven Alan. It was a good thing, too because I got the opportunity to talk...

How To Get Everyone's Attention With A GTH Kit
Sometimes you want to stick out like a sore thumb, right? You want everyone to know that today is your day. If you’re still reading then you’re definitely a man who needs a GTH (Go To Hell) kit. Warning: I’m not promising that the options I’m about to offer you are not going to get you beat down.
GTH pieces can be found at a lot of places, but finding GTH worthy pieces...

Dunderdon Fall 2010 Jackets
The latest jackets from Dunderdon have dropped and I’m excited. One of my favorite jackets is from Dunderdon and their latest has a couple pretty awesome pieces.
The brand is Swedish and it was started by a carpenter named Per-Ivan Hagberg. The company has been around since 1997 and they started by making clothing for craftsmen. That’s the company in a nutshell, but you can read the...

Thumbs Up To: Lino Ieluzzi
I don’t even know the man, but Lino Ieluzzi’s kindness radiates from his face in all of the photos that I’ve seen of him. He’s killing me, he just looks too nice. I had to get to the bottom of what this guy’s deal is. Apparently, I’m not the only one that’s been captivated by his smiles, the Japanese love him and he’s also grabbed the attention of...

Duck Head Oxfords
Do you remember Duck Head? I do. That duck invaded the South. And in the 80s and 90s its curious single eye stared at you so hard when you were trying to check out a lady’s rear assets. Their khaki colored shorts were a prep staple. I been had the Duck.
Enough about the shorts, they’re over for me. From what I remember, they were like wearing sand paper. I wanted to turn your...

Just a Single Strap
Until Allen Edmonds responds to the masses and brings back the Mora (Please!), you’re gonna get stuck paying more than a couple benjamins if you want a decent pair of double monks. I know they’re poppin’ off right now. I’ve seen a couple pair floating about the bay, but that’s not the point of this post. I want to bring your attention to underappreciated single monk....

I like my Toast crispy, brah.
Men, this may be a new brand for you, especially if you don’t have a lady. K introduced me to Toast via a bank statement surprise. She’s a big fan of the women’s line and now that they’ve put up a men’s line, I might have to return the favor. The brand has its roots in the UK and they’ve been fitting the ladies in country-casual inspired garb since...

DIY: Wide to Skinny Tie Conversion
I had some time this weekend so I thought I’d try my hand at converting a wide tie into a skinny tie. I found this tutorial and another one that was really helpful. Honestly, there wasn’t much to it though.
I just happened to stumble upon the amazing Liberty of London tie at a thrift store this weekend. It was way too wide for my tastes though, but the cotton that makes this tie...

The Poorer Gent's Guide to Shopping in Portland,...
I know you’ve already read my life story, especially if you’ve read the Poor Gent’s and Rich Gent’s guides, so I won’t bother you with it anymore. Let’s get to the details.

Wow, you really hitchhiked all the way here from the ‘burbs? I gotta give you credit, that’s a trip. Well, you look like shit. You need some new...

Black on Black Oversized Timex Easy Reader
I ran across another blacked out Easy Reader today and I snatched it up for you. I’ve talked about this watch before on the blog, and I’m talking about it again because it’s one of my favorites from Timex. It’s no wonder GQ added it to the August 2010 issue along side of the Panerai. This watch has a 42mm face and can make a statement. Lug to lug it holds a 20mm band and...

The Rich Gent's Guide to Shopping in Portland, OR.
I moved to Portland a little over four years ago and I’ve loved every minute of it. I try to consume everything. Being from the South (Bama), it’s a lot different from what I’ve grown up with. I remember as a kid trying to find certain clothing items and they were no where to be found. But now, there’s endless shopping and so I’d like to give you a little taste of...

Florsheim by Duckie Brown
I know most of you are probably not the same kind of statement makers as Nick Wooster. And it’s not common to have blazing yellow brogues on your feet while you’re struttin’ about, just doin’ your thang. Well, just in case you are in the mood to take that wardrobe of yours and add some pop to it, the Duckie design duo is there. Wuh, wuh!

Oregon Vineyards - David Hill and Tualitin...
On Saturday, I lost my sobriety at this charming little house.
For a quality bottle of wine on the cheap, you gotta try David Hill. For a good drink during a picnic, grab a bottle of the Farmhouse white.
We arrived early (They open at 12pm on Saturday, BTW.) so I decided to snap some shots of the beauty.
After we drained David Hill, we headed over to the Tualitin Vineyard to have more...

J.Crew Lug Sole Wingtip
Does anyone remember these monsters from J.Crew? Well, because I like to walk on the wild side, I ordered a pair. Beware, these big dawgs shouldn’t be your first choice when it comes to wingtips. These are a special breed and they should only be worn with your most rugged trouser. I found these on eBay the other night and while really sleepy and intoxicated, I pulled the trigger on them.

The Sebago Spinnaker
It doesn’t take much to get me hunting. I’m a natural internet scavenger. If you’ve ever seen my inspiration site, you’d know that I’m a level II style hoarder. Whatever, admitting your problem is the first step, right?
After seeing the following image of the guy wearing tan, blue and white boat shoes, I knew I had to find some. And because I have quite a few pairs...

Sale Alert: Save 43% on the L.L. Bean Field Pants
I know I haven’t been posting as much as I usually do. Blame it on the alcohol. I’ve fallin’ in to a deep dark hole—much like my pals Draper and Phillips. At least I’ve been working on the Vicks account with Campbell and didn’t get smacked with the Samsonite load. Poor Peggy. Anyway, I thought I’d take a moment, now that I’ve pulled myself up out of my own...
