It’s On Sale: Chester Mox Wallets
One of my favorite leather goods companies, Chester Mox, is having a Father’s Day promotion. Until June 14th, you can get any wallet monogramed for free. On many of the wallets, this will be put in place of the company’s logo. A nice way to both get something logo free and personalize a product for someone you love (or for yourself). 
Chester Mox is a simple, one-family operation based out of Los Angeles. They make all of their products by hand, and the family has over twelve years of experience working with leathers. The construction of their wallets is very good and they use leathers from the best tanneries in the world. Two of them, Ilcea and Horween, for example, supply leathers to top footwear manufacturers such as John Lobb and Alden. 
Since everything is handmade on order, you can easily put in special requests. If you see a model you like, but not in a leather you want, just contact them and ask if they can make it. Chances are they can. I’m a particularly big fan of their horse-front leather, which I find to have the luster of shell, and sightly more durability than calf (a bit more scratch and scuff resistant, though not as much as shell). It’s also just feels really rich to the touch.

I just got one of these, I like it.

"The conspicuously well dressed man is not a well dressed man at all, but merely a block for displaying the best materials and the latest fashions upon. His clothes and all articles of outward attire cry out their quality, and forcibly draw attention to their very newest cut, set, twist, or turn; and you say “There’s a dressy man if you like! Everything right up to date, including the walking stick.” The really well dressed man attracts no such remark. Of him you are more likely to say, “That man looks very smart - for some reason or another. Wonder what it is!” You may depend upon it that the man of whom that is said is a man not only of fashion, but of something very important besides - namely, good taste, strong individuality, faithfulness to personal style."

Fashion, August 1899 (via putthison)

Sherlock - It’s an absolutely brilliant BBC series based on a “modern” Sherlock Holmes.

The outfits and fashion styles they have been using in that show are just stellar. One piece in particular that caught my eye, was “Dr. John Watson’s” jacket.

Military inspired, yet plain and simple, with a few extra touches that I really love, such as the shoulder patch, and the elbow patches. I needed this jacket. But who makes it? They certainly don’t specify in the show credits.

Some time and about 100 different Google search strings later - I found it.

Haversack - Black Cotton Shooting Jacket

Originally an astonishing 725GBP, now down to a ‘paltry’ 218GBP - this gem could be mine. For that sum of money I can be running around yelling “Sherlock!” in an annoyed tone.

Well, 218GBP is about $350 Canadian bucks. (Plus shipping, duty, etc.) - my dreams of owning this jacket have been shattered. But hey, it’s nice to know who makes it, it’s construction, and if I didn’t feel like paying my phone bill, gassing up my car, and eating for a week or so… it could be mine. (It’s also sold out too, so there’s that)

I’ll just admire it from my end of the computer screen instead.

HTTTGAP’s Definitive Guide To Merkins
If any particular trend jumped out during the F/W 2012 menswear shows it was that the merkin is officially poised to make a resurgence as a crucial piece within the classic menswear wardrobe. Luckily for you, I am well versed in this specific sartorial category and willing to provide a few key tips as you begin to build out your merkin collection and work it into your everyday wardrobe.
Merkin’s Are Seasonal - Like most menswear staples, merkins should correspond to the season. F/W merkins in classic fabrics such as Harris Tweed, waxed canvas and moleskin are as functional as they are stylish. They add a wonderful hint of texture to your outfit and will keep your loins warm in the briskest of months. Conversely, as the weather warms up, you do not want your merkin holding you back and creating an even sweatier situation for your dick. Breathable fabrics (think seersucker, madras, etc.) in classic patterns and colors will keep you cool without sacrificing even the slightest bit of wiener fashion.
Black Tie Merkin - For formal occasions your merkin should correspond to the rest of your ensemble. Black or midnight blue merkins with grosgrain trim are your safest bet, as is a strong plaid that corresponds with your unique dinner jacket. The last thing you want when attending an upscale function is for fellow party goers to scoff at your lack of tact, so make sure your merkin is on point.
The Statement Merkin - Much like we all have statement pieces in our wardrobe, the odd statement merkin is just as critical. For those moments when you hop up out of bed and feel like mushroom stamping the world right on its forehead!
The Conservative Merkin - First impressions are key. Job interviews, first dates, meeting the in-laws, etc. are all crucial moments where your dress should be stylish, but conservative. This is the perfect time to bust out your conservative merkin as you want to show off what you’ve got, but not flaunt it. Navy blues, grays and other monochromatic, understated merkins should do the trick.
