Phillip Lim for Target: Men's high top sneakers

On September 15th, the Phillip Lim for Target launched and people all over lined up outside the retail chain, hoping to grab as many pieces from this collection as possible.  This line offered many women's and men's clothing and accessories, and one of the most sought after products was Phillip Lim designed purses at a fraction of their regular cost.  I was fortunate enough to snag a pair of hightop sneakers from the men's collection.

Once in a while, something catches my eye that actually inspires me to get online and create a new post. In this instance, it is the discovery of "The Getup", a feature available on the Primer Magazine website.

Heather Grey Fur-Trimmed Mackage for SSENSE Federico Jacket

This Mackage jacket made for SSense was really stunning enough that I got off my lazy behind and wrote the first post in almost 3 weeks. As all-black-everything is to Jay-Z, all-heather-grey is the equivalent to TGK.  I currently own a Mackage winter jacket and it definitely is warm enough for Canadian winters (not test in Central Canada though).  This SSense exclusive comes with the usual leather trim found on Mackage's, as well as a dark fur trim on the hood and a small emblem which makes this jacket distinctive without being too forward. Swap out that played out Canada Goose, and upgrade to Mackage.

Wintercheck Factory Consoliwallet

Short of using a murse (man-purse) the modern male has to carry a lot of stuff in his pockets. For instance, wallet, gum, keys, smartphone. Along with the trend of the ever slimming jeans, it only makes sense to try and slim down on the contents as well.  Well the Consoliwallet is here to the rescue! Made up of aluminum plating and a rubber latex cord, this is a modern day, stylish money clip.

Uniqlo - ECommerce

Uniqlo is one brand that I've been watching for a while. Making simple yet stylish clothes (and yes, a Metal Gear Solid Line) it is quite difficult to find their stores unless you are in Japan, or closer, New York. Uniqlo ECommerce is the Japanese retailer's expansion from the brick and mortar stores and into the online world. Now, you can purchase their items from anywhere in the US. Upon visiting their site, however, it does not seem to be loading properly. Possibly they are experiencing high traffic. Regardless, I look forward to when they make shipping available to Canada.

Patterned Socks

Most people go through their lives wearing plain old black socks with their suits. That's cool... maybe for your 50's. But if you're looking to add a little flair to your suit game,  the second simplest way (I think pocket squares are first) is to throw some patterned socks into the mix.

BBC Ice Cream Bee Line

From the Billionaire Boy's Club's own Instagram post, their line of button downs are a great addition for fall when you need to layer up.

Grooming: Comb Sleeve by The Craftmen

So your style has grown up, and you're not doing the old "spike-up" any more. Good for you! You find that you need to carry a comb with you in case the slick back needs some readjustment, like in the old timey films. Well, important things go in a case! (see below video).

Zara Men's Fall Jacket

Summer is almost done,  and fall is just around the corner,  which means retailers have already stocked their shelves with warmer clothes.

The Daily Hookup deal site

The Daily Hookup

In a time where you get bombarded with 11 emails a day from deal sites, it is nice to see one site that has narrowed down their target market. The Daily Hookup boasts "Shopping for the modern man" and this tag-line certainly has me intrigued.  Currently, there doesn't appear to be an abundance of deals, but they seem fairly new so I look forward to their oncoming additions.

From my somewhat limited interactions with their customer service, responses have been quick and very helpful.  Make sure you bookmark these guys!

First post

I've recently come to realize that I've been spending a lot of money. One week I'm buying dress shirts and ties, and I don't even wear them to the office. Growing out of older clothes and styles. Next week, I'll be spending on things the I never grew out of, things that companies reissue to make money off of our pasts. There's no reason that these two things can't combined to make one, awesome being, is there? TGK.
