“Having any sort of financial success with what I’m doing, to me, just means more tools” 0

“Having any sort of financial success with what I’m doing, to me, just means more tools” Found on selectism

“I do find that my work life crosses over, in many ways, into my personal life and, in some ways my dream life.” 0

Such a great quote… And we’ve got to give credit to Mickey Drexler and J.Crew for all the great stuff they’ve been doing lately. (Found at The Choosy Beggar)

Father’s Day Gift Idea 2010 0

Ok, now Father’s day is literally right around the corner. Our primary gift suggestion is a Hallmark card that plays “Hammer Time” when it is opened. That commercial dad sure looks happy. Our secondary gift suggestion is the Proper Cloth Custom Dress Shirt Gift Kit. If your dad wears dress shirts this is a no-brainer. [...]

Hello I’m Handsome 0

“He had a face that belonged in a depression era breadline”… Awesome. “Seek love foolishly my boy, even if it kills you.” Found this video on United Style.

Your Mom Wasn’t Your Dad’s First 0

He went out.  He got two numbers in the same night.  He drank cocktails… Consider this your advanced notice that Father’s day is coming up (June 20th this year).  Which means if you order pops a custom shirt in the next week or so, we’ll have it ready in plenty of time. Otherwise, we suggest [...]

“Heat” by Bill Buford 0

On a whim, I picked up the book Heat by Bill Buford.  And then I read it twice.  If you like cooking or personalities, you’ll like this book.  It’s full of detailed descriptions of fancy food and the colorful characters that prepare it. Part of the book covers Mario Batali and his famous Manhattan restaurant [...]

GoldBar New York 0

Had the chance to check out GoldBar on Broome Street last night. First, from a designer standpoint, the venue is pure ostentatious excess.  The walls are covered in gold painted skulls, the ceiling has huge chandeliers and the tables are made to look like giant gold bracelets.  There are also these spooky looking paintings on [...]

Welcome to Facebook 2

I’ve always been pretty quick to join online social networks.  Back in 2003, I had the custom styled MySpace page with my carefully selected “Top 8 Friends”, a music player that played either 50 Cent “In Da Club” or Britney Spears “Hit Me Baby One More Time” and dozens of photos: mostly drunk at a [...]
