The Kaweco Liliput Al Fountain Pen is built like a brick shit house--except you can use it to draw pretty pictures or write your magnum opus. Read my full review at The Pen Addict. Price: $55 Buy: JetPens Rating: Would buy again! ... Read More

The Nixon 51-30 is a huge watch. Correction: The Nixon 51-30 is a fucking huge watch. With a 51.25mm diameter case (See what they did there? Nixon is so clever.), the watch monopolizes all of the wrist real estate of even the most big-boned individual. Weighing it at approximately one metric ton, it single-handedly has the power to make you ... Read More

Bankruptcy isn't the only byproduct of an addiction to Gilt Man. It frequently results in casual neck noose acquisitions like the Ben Sherman dogtooth stripe plaid tie you see here. For all intents and purposes (i.e. according to Google) dogtooth stripe is something limited to Ben Sherman, so feel free to inform me otherwise if necessary. Even if the pattern ... Read More

Hi, my name is Ben and I have a problem. That problem is Gilt Man. How am I supposed to pass up Ben Sherman, Steven Alan, and Gilded Age ties for $111? Technically, since I had an account credit, I only paid $5 for shipping. Seems like a small price to pay an order which includes a wool knit Steven ... Read More

Last week I talked about how I was starting the In Search Of feature and the first thing in my seemingly endless quest would be the perfect notebook for notes, drawings, concert reviews, ish, etc. Fuck saving the best for last, we're starting with the reigning champion - Field Notes. Field Notes are diminutive in size (3.5" x 5.5"), contain 48 ... Read More

Unless your head has been up your ass for the better part of the calendar year, you are already in the know about the Timex Oversize Camper. It popped up on GQ, Por Homme, Hypebeast, Selectism, Sartorially Inclined and most of the other sites you read while pretending to work. All this coverage is great for Timex and their little-military-watch-that-could, ... Read More

In Search Of: is going to be an ongoing feature where I torture test products from different manufacturers designed to fill the same niche market. First on the chopping block is the pocket notebook. Given the amount of writing that I do, a quality pocket notebook is essential. Right now, I'm running Field Notes, Moleskine, and Piccadilly notebooks through the gamut ... Read More

Sometime last week (maybe the week before), Twitter was abuzz with crazy amounts of Lands End Canvas deals. Prior to this round of purchases (some shirts, these belts and the madras tie you saw last week), I was a total newbie to the brand. Now that I've learned the error of my ways, I'm seriously kicking myself for not picking ... Read More

With summer drawing to a close, it's time to pack up all your madras (pretty cool Lands End article about the history of madras) and throw it in storage until the next time it's about 70 degrees out. Nonsense. If anything, now is the perfect time to start scooping up all the leftover goodies that brands are clearing out - ... Read More

Generic Surplus Wingtip Sneakers are the perfect combination of casual and dress, business and party, 9-5 and 5-9. They're the footwear equivalent of the mullet -  half business (muted colorway), half pleasure (they are sneakers after all), all awesome (wingtip accents, comfort, style, etc.). Unless you don't like being comfortable, Generic Surplus Wingtip Sneakers are the best of both shoe ... Read More
