And now, these Italian-made beauties are a whopping 40% off. Read More
Far be it from me to tell Ovadia & Sons how to do their job. But, if you’re going to make a pair of hiking boots, maybe don’t make them quite so handsome. I mean, I realize their Italian-made Everest Hikers are tough as all hell, and can stand up to pretty much anything that comes their way. Read More

Rounding up the best lightweight, down-free insulated jackets for winter and beyond.
The moderately and (very) immoderately priced goods that I’d rather spend it on this month.

Sir Ian Fleming was the sort of man that James Bond would have come across in the smoke-filled rooms of his stories. It’s easy to imagine Fleming sitting at a bar, dressed to the nines, dragging on a wispy cigarette, while sipping from a martini glass and chatting up his nightly arm candy. It only took Fleming, a former British naval intelligence officer, two months to pen Casino Royale, the first Bond book in 1952. Bond was never meant to be autobiographical, but he was certainly created in Fleming’s image. Spinning his tales of covert missions into full-blown spy thrillers, Fleming reinvented the espionage genre by making 007 as dashing as he was death-defying. And looking at how Fleming carried himself, it’s no wonder where the inspiration for Bond’s attitude and appearance came from. Read More
I’m a little embarrassed by how little I know about Portugal. I know it’s right next to Spain. I know the language is kind of like Spanish, but not.

Hi Brad. I was wondering if you could do a post on peacoats?
It would be my pleasure Seungjai. Some personal favorites are after the jump.
Am I remembering wrong, or did the Scarponcini Boots from Fracap used to be a lot more expensive? Like, over $100 more expensive. Well, even if the price hasn’t changed, $240 for a pair of Italian-made hikers is still pretty damn good. Especially for ones that have a Vibram sole, full leather lining and come with a free second pair of contrast laces. Read More
If there’s one thing you can count on Scandinavians for, aside from blonde hair, blue eyes and terrifying music, it’s great cold weather wear. After all, the average Scandinavian winter is something like 14 months long [ed note: statement not fact checked]; ample time to master the art of staying warm yet stylish. Read More

As I’m sure many of you know, searching for a pair of reliable chinos can feel a lot like being on a wild goose chase. Which is why we should all give thanks to Denmark’s Norse Projects for saving us the trouble. Made in the EU, tapered to perfection and available in a wide palette of heavy-weight Italian twills, the label’s Aros Heavy Chinos are like a freshly laid golden egg (get it? It’s another goose idiom). Read More
