Red Wing Boots caught my eye this week while out and about during Fashion Week in NYC. Hey, I know a lot of you might say “this ain’t nothin’ new”, well “it ain’t”. The 100 Year old Shoe Company has stayed true to its roots since men were still riding horses, but I am very sorry to say that in the past Red Wing Boots have been on the bottom of my shopping list. Especially when your walking around with these size 14’s (as I stated so many times before) you need to wear a shoe that is very detailed, neat and specific for the man with gift of “size”. Man o’ man, I tried on a pair with my G-Star Classic 3301’s (that’s a plug, you’re welcome) and said “Damn, these look dope!”. Not my everyday boot, but definitely something I need on standby, but to eaches on though.

Until the next post, ciao!!!

This feeling should be the same way when your hosting an evening at home with a special someone, especially on the weekend. You should have certain items in your refrigerator to be prepared for any mood and or any situation…

Below is a list of 10 things a man should have in their refrigerator:

It’s time to give your denim time to breathe and get some Cords. Corduroy is a comfortable and durable cloth. The material is also used in the construction of (sport) jackets and shirts. The width of the cord is commonly referred to as the size of the wale. The lower the “wale” number, the thicker the width of the wale (i.e., 4-wale is much thicker than 11-wale). Wide wale is more commonly found on trousers; medium, narrow, and fine wale fabrics are usually found in garments used above the waist. In the past, clothes made from corduroy are considered casual and are usually favored in colder climates, but you know fashion; its all about the personality. Below is a list of some great fitting trousers.

A few months ago I did a little kibitz about Fendi not having any of their men’s collection displayed in the window of their retail space (see post: No Love for the Men at Fendi Store, NYC?). On monday I was very pleased to see the front window displaying their Men’s Fall Winter collection. Whether its a coincidence or influence; I’m happy we got some love back. We shop there too…

DUBAI

Seems like alot of Shops are jumping into the Middle Eastern Retail Market, but Its only right that one of the most luxurious places in the world have one of the most luxurious retail shops in the world.  Saks Fifth Avenue has revieled their plans to open a men’s store in Dubai. The luxury New York-based retailer said the 15,000-square-foot store at The Walk at the Jumeirah Beach Residences will complement the existing 80,000-square-foot full-lne Saks store that opened in that city in 2004 and its Riyadh unit in Saudi Arabia that debuted in 2001.

The Dubai men’s store will have a similar mix as the Saks men’s stores in the U.S. but will be tweaked to appeal to the local market.

Mr. Saint Laurent achieved instant fame in 1958 at the age of 21 when he showed his Trapeze collection, his first for Christian Dior following the master’s death. But unlike many overnight sensations, Mr. Saint Laurent managed to remain at the top of his profession as fashion changed, from an emphasis on formal, custom-made haute couture to casual sportswear.

Yves Saint Laurent passed away on Sunday in Paris. He was 71. The announcement was made by the Pierre-Berge-Saint Laurent Foundation, but the cause of death was not immediately released.
