"MAN 1924" FOR THE MAN OF 2012

Carlos Castillo, the man behind MAN 1924, creates a look which is beyond preppy, not as slick, let's call it City Smart or Classic With A Twist. His signature are the popped collar shirts which you see on all the pics. MAN 1924 has 2 stores in Spain, (Bilbao and Madrid), called one of the favorite stores by The Sartorialist. 

Practical Glamour: the art & style of the no-shoe home

Practical Glamour: the art & style of the no-shoe home

A few years ago I happened to catch a doctor on the radio who was railing passionately about the evils of wearing your outdoor shoes in your home. By traipsing through your home in fresh from the street shoes, you were effectively transferring any and all types of filth–gum, dirt, oil, spit, other things I can’t bring myself to type–from the street into your personal space, which really should really be kept as pure as possible, dirtwise and vibewise.

He convinced me. I’ve been a practitioner of the no-shoe domicile for a while and wouldn’t dream of going back to having that level of grossness imported inside again. Levels of grossness of course, being relative to where you live. Cape Cod; not so bad, maybe some sand or a spot of soil. Manhattan or downtown Los Angeles; unprintable.

I’ve noticed that here in the U.S. it is increasingly common to visit homes that are no-shoe homes. That is, you leave your shoes at the door for all the reasons your hosts might desire: the basic hygiene argument outlined above, heels carving up a soft wood floor, an addiction to white shag carpets, and so forth.

THE BEAT OF DENIM

YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET!!

Amherst

Irving

Dickie

Furman

Last week you met Greg, he is wearing Classic Specs eyewear a great concept, you buy your frames via internet for only $ 89,-- per frame and you've got a lot of combinations, like frame color, optical lens or for sunwear lens color. Plus they donate 6% from every purchase to New Eyes for the Needy. So support this Brooklyn based company with buying your glasses via them......don't you need glasses yet, it's a great fashion item without optical lenses.

THE GANT RUGGER GALLERY

GANT Rugger presented their Spring/Summer 2012 collection in London in a "Gallery" way. The collection was shown in the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms, the Painting Rooms are historic studios, aged over the past hundred years, thick with paint-flecked walls. I can imagine that this was the perfect place to present the brand. I'm filled with envy, wish we had an event like this in Holland. (pics via Preposity & Rippedbackpocket)

BROOKS "YOUNGER " BROTHER

Last week, Brooks Brothers opened up its Flatiron Concept Store, situated in New York's first Skyscraper at 175, Fifth Avenue. Brick walls and wooden beams are exposed. This store is "Not Your Dadddy's Brooks Brothers" it's geared for a younger customer. The store showcases an assortment of men's and woman's sportswear including Levi's jeans. Preppy is the key word brought together in a creative, playful way. (pics via the urban class boutique)

Treating Guests Like Children?

re-post

Some people feel that in being asked to remove their shoes, they are being treated like children.

They may find it obnoxious, having to follow a house rule. They may think it is fine to ask children to take off their shoes, as who knows what they might step in, but they feel patronised to be asked to take off their own shoes. They believe that adults can be trusted to wipe their feet on the doormat.

What I would say to these people is that there are many good reasons why hosts may ask them to take off their shoes. I suggest they try not to think of it as a house rule, but just as a polite request (like somebody asking you to hold their umbrella). These people probably go shoeless sometimes in their own homes, so it should not be too onerous to do this when at the homes of others.

The fact is that wiping your feet will not remove all the dreadful stuff that your shoes pick up. You may try to be careful what you step in, but a lot of the worst things, like lead or weed killer is unseen.



Other people may feel that removing their shoes makes them feel childish. They do not feel terribly grown up skipping around a house in their bare feet or padding in their socks. What I would say to those people is that they should bear in mind that in many cultures, going shoeless indoors is the norm. In Japan or Sweden, nobody thinks it childish to be in socks or bare feet. There are plenty of situations in the UK where adults will be without shoes; such as on the beach or in a Yoga class. I suggest that when they visit shoeless homes, they ought to bring some slippers to wear.

KICK SOME ASS

This is booty-licious, don't know which to choose, shall I go for Alden, Red Wing, Quoddy or Sorel?

Life ain't easy.......
