It’s been a long time, Internet. Style Villain will be back in the relatively near future with a full-on launch…of sorts. All that really means is that I’m actually going to get around to taking a bunch of pictures of all the shit I need to review that’s sitting on my floor proper blogger style. [...]
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!
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
