Antonello Serio Man PE2009 02

Lately, I've been tired of having my mobile phone, wallet, keys, and mp3 players strapped on to me and cramping my jeans. The solution is to get a small shoulder bag to carry this all. Now our counter part in Europe have been doing this for a long time. I've been shopping around for a small man bag. This seems to hit the spot. I stumbled upon this gem in Flickr.com of all places. The bag is clean in design, understated, yet luxurious. I love the brown suade feel and the white contrasting shoulder strap in web canvase is racy. There are no bulky straps or details to get in the way. It's ver masculine. Antonello Serio is an Italian designer making beautiful fashion for men and women globally.

Thom Browne

Links to Thom's favorite restaurants, and artists.
Thom Browne official website
The fashion video, 'The Septemberist' filmed by Anthony Goicolea, seems like a movie trailer. the narrator / hypnotize sounds familiar. His a chinese voice and script reminds me of the Woody Allen movie 'Alice'. I saw 'Alice' the other day when I couldn't fall asleep. It was on Demand on Comcast cable television.
Libertine
John Hartig a friend of Thom. They started out in LA buying vintage clothes and altering them as a hobby.
Anthony Goicolea
Anthony filmed the "Septemberist" Video on Thom's website. If Thom was to become an artist, he would be Anthony. Their asthetics match very well.
Radio Interview
Elvis Mitchell has a Radio Interview with Thom for the Radio Show "The Treatment"
Pastis
Pastis is a restaurant where Thom as his black coffee and white toasts.
Il Cantinori
Another great restaurant

I'm a big fan of your blog 'SARTORIALIST' since I found out about it in GQ magazine. I'm glad you are covering Thom Browne. I have made a lens on Squidoo dedicated to Thom Browne. Check it out. I would welcome suggestions and inputs.

Paul Smith Story collonge

Haitian Vetiver
the idea began as a sketch of a book
the bottle is shaped like a book
smells of old paper.

Ty

I like shopping for ties on internet. I bought one which said it on it’s label “Made expressly for the Society of Colonial Wars”. The tie has a red background with white strip. It looks like a typical club tie. I’ve never really tied a bow tie and have always wanted to try it. I know a collage buddy who will throw out his ties after two or three wears. Women have a thing for dimples, both on men and on the knots of ties. I don’t have a dimple on my face but I can wear a dimple on my ties. My brother-in-law likes the skinny version. Sort of like the early eighties worn by Rick O’ Casek of the Cars.

I remember the springy pastel plaid ties popular during high school and the reign of ‘Miami Vice‘ of Don Johnson ties.
