"FROM WHENCE CAME YOUR DIVER'S WATCH?"

Pray tell, hast thou unidirectional bezels? Thine timepiece quite outshinest the modest surround of this humble boardwalk.

There are certain things every man should own.

A well-fitted dark suit. Sunglass frames that fit his face. A pair of jeans beaten so comfy he’d rescue them from a burning building.

And one of these: a sturdy, no-frills leather duffel that can convey all the gear he needs for a weekend abroad.

A weekend abroad you say

"FROM WHENCE CAME YOUR DIVER'S WATCH?"

lol

bringing two cartier watches on a trip is a v. advanced move

Apparently a Louis Cartier "no-frills" 24-hour bag will set you back over $4000. On the other hand, it literally does not have frills.

how much are the frills

a measly few bills

well the bag costs about half as much as the watch so i'll call it a deal

divers watches are my cap toe shoes

lol eazy

so i imagine this is totally a basic 101 type question but i so rarely wear jackets or blazers so... it is probably not good to wear a corduroy blazer with a corduroy pants (different colors, the pants are darker). i am thinking no?

yeah not a great idea

well does it look cool i mean

I feel like you can pull it off. I believein you

i think its possible for that combination to work but i think the blazr and pants need to be very distinct for it not to look just... weird. it will still look kinda weird but at least weird-on-purpose not i cant dress myself weird

i think its so weird that the only way to sell stuff to clueless rich dudes is to convince them its somehow essential. 'a real man only needs four things in this world one of which is a three thousand dollar leather ipad cover.'

mens love lists of rules lol

all the while telling themselves they are roguish iconoclasts

they just want to be told what to do

The way to break all the rules is to wear pink (this is also a rule)

Just put on a pink dress shirt :\

very brave

btw i just found this white tee i accidentally made pink in the laundry a while ago im totally gonna wear it cause im nuts

Wow crazy guy

im break every rule

So insane XD

Re: cap toe shoes I wear cap toes, but they are rockports so that offsets any notion of them being too formal.

I had this black hanes tee that got a weird bleach stain on the right breast and I used to wear it with the bleach stain and people would ask me if it was a designer t-shirt. I actually thought about making a whole line of unique bleach-stained black tees after that.

looooool

I like those a lot, and a stronger dollar seems to be making them not outrageous.

(you still review soup stands for a local hong kong paper right?)

The appropriate term is broth stands thank you very much

max itt sometimes biting my style

The way to break all the rules is to wear pink (this is also a rule)

"try a flash of orange" - men's fashion is described in the exact same way all the time. each season has been the same for 4/5 years - "camo is back", "blue is trending strongly", "plaids are back", "orange/burgundy will be the colour of the season", "monochrome outfits are trending", "a slightly different take on floral is trending again"

i WISH camo were back :|

its back, its just hard to spot

remember when air force blue suits were the shit for like one season

mad menswear bros on that seaquest dsv tip
