Dear Happy Socks, I know the New York Times wants you to think that Silicon Valley is responsible for using socks to convey class, and that’s probably true. They even want you to think there is...
I typically can’t stand clothing with the brand’s insignia embroidered on it, but there are a number of reasons why I find this particular collection awesome: the models are fetching; for...
Here’s a shocker, and I’d like you to sit down for a second, because this is going to be a revelation: I’m a man who likes beards. I love ’em scraggly and unkempt—the kind that people cla...
Artists Adrian et Shane have decided to hand stencil some t-shirts, and their slogans are awesome. I stopped liking t-shirts with slogans a long time ago, but above are two of the best (in my opinion...
A great video shot to track the process of Shwood and Pendleton as they work on their collaboration. Two Oregon brands have come together using wools and wood from the local area to create some truly...
Bowen Ames is an artistic director and stylist originally from the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York—he was born of a hunting father who has, to this day, been a source of inspiration for his...
Gentlemen, meet COMUNE, a brand from LA that couldn’t be further from what I view as “LA.” I’ve tried to let my imagination run wild (yes, even trying to picture the COMUNE mo...
Junya Watanabe makes amazing jackets, plain and simple. I was coveting the duck jacket, and now I want this reinterpretation of a field jacket, complete with leather patches, wool flannel and drill c...
I tend to shy away from most watches. It certainly seems that people feel the more money a man spends on his watch, the better his taste is, but that’s kind of bullshit, to speak bluntly. It mi...
The Hudson’s Bay Company scouted Toronto beardos, and I was selected as one, and according to former Fashion Television producer and now Social Media Manager for the company, Christopher Sherma...
Think about what you know about Ben Sherman. Target-Underground branding, mod fits (that fit no one correctly), but ultimately pretty cool (and you wanted to wear the clothes, but most ...
My beard grows back in an instant. I shaved it off one week ago (above photo) and it is already racing back. Perhaps that is a comment on how much testosterone I have (somewhat laughable), but what i...
I’ve been gone for months, and here’s why: http://www.torontolife.co m/daily/style I am working as the Associate Online Editor at Toronto Life where I, well, edit, the fashion section. It is a r...
I was looking at Goodhood’s shop today, in anticipation of the days of bare legs. If the shipping costs weren’t exorbitant, I would grab these Monitaly flat fronts in a second (not to men...
Sorry about the hiatus. I recently started a job as the Associate Online Editor of The Goods at Toronto Life and I wanted to settle in before I jumped back into this beard’s eye view. Look forw...
UNIONMADE GOODS carries brands from Alden to Woolrich and their fall/winter look book reflects the vast catalogue of brands, but also the threaded aesthetic among them, which for fall/winter is desig...
Leave it to Junya Watanabe to reinvent the chore jacket. What would normally be a boxy nostalgia offering has been updated with duck canvas, corduroy, leather and plaid flannel (on the sleeve). It is...
These shoes by Swear in London are incredible. Mismatched colours add an oddball sense of humour to your outfit (which, in my opinion should comprise of solids – anything else would be overkill...
Gothenburg, Sweden’s Dunderdon has taken the most generic staples and made me want every last item. Perhaps it is because I can see myself in these clothes, but ultimately, who doesn’t ne...
It is a bit early for spring/summer, I know. In fact, even for inspiration, the thought of looking at spring shows is bound to send your seasonal depression from ho hum, to full on gloom. But PRPS ma...
Nestled on the high street, Patrick Grant runs bespoke tailoring fixture Norton & Sons on London’s Savile Row. It is a place that may be rich in tradition, but his beard – while never...
I want these saddle shoes by Mark McNairy. He’s taken some navy nubuck leather and paired it with a contrasting brown, which makes it look very sharp. My favourite feature is the red brick sole...
Luxury denim is one of those cult markets that has exploded in recent years, with work wear inspiration reaching high fashion. The quality and standards continue to reach new heights, with fabricatio...
David Roth knows his beard for what it is – a trend. He like bushy bearded fellas, so naturally he likes it on himself, but make no mistake, it is a moment for David (and frankly, with a beard ...
Meet Tyler. He’s worked for the Red Wing tannery for over three years. This photo was taken for an upcoming photo exhibition shot by Tim Adler – it will include various manifestations of ...
Everyone makes silly resolutions. Some are more vocal than others, but we eventually reach a silence when it turns out the things we thought we’d accomplish become yet another left-uncrossed re...
The holidays are swiftly approaching and with the egg nog, mistletoe and obnoxious carolers comes an increase in travel that is mostly unavoidable. In the interest of practicality, I recommend some h...
When a private citizen (Richard Garriott) gets to voyage to space, you can only imagine that he has all the money in the world. You’ll remember Lance Bass training for the opportunity, but sadl...
I know a lot of you gentleman are looking for the perfect rucksack to get you through your important day of appointments, classes and dates (if you’re lucky, they treat you). I recently stumble...
