Finally, the second episode of Put This On is online. The web series is for guys who want “to dress like a grown-up”. This episode looks at shoes, their care, maintenance and what to look for in a great pair. No more will you wear those fugly cheap things you bought at the Aldo outlet store.
Check it out. They’re also on Facebook too.

The Sunday Best has been killing it. He pointed me to these photos of men at work circa 1900. Zounds!
I’m not sure what these guys did, but some of them look pretty bad-ass. Like the guy with the pipe. Apparently there’s a whole Flickr pool of this amazing stuff.

I’ve been spending a lot of time checking out a couple of great photo blogs and I just thought I’d share them with all of you.
First there’s things that have caught the eye of stylish Brooklynite ‘James’ on Secret Forts. His itemized outfit breakdowns rivals anything in any of the fashion mags.
Someone with an equally sharp eye is set designer Cerre. The organic minimalism of 2 or 3 things I know
is a constant pick-me-up.
Finally, if you’re looking for inspiration to be cool as fuck check out The Impossible Cool Blind Dating rip . Finally, the only reason you need to check out the Barstool Romantic is below:
Yeah, that’s Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot. Boys, I hope that made your day. Girls, I’ll pass along something nice next time.
