For being confined to a country with such terrible weather, the English have an almost unnatural love affair with motorcycles. But out of the rain-soaked nightmare that are the English midlands arose the need for truly badass protective gear to keep the motorcyclists motorcycling. Belstaff has been making just such performance gear for bike enthusiasts [...] Because even Los Angeles has a rainy season — granted it lasts for about a week and a half and only drizzles enough to make people forget how to drive — but getting caught out in the elements unprepared looks foolish anywhere. Time to ditch the ratty black eye poking machine that gets turned inside-out [...]
Solid, understated ties are an easy pairing for most shirt and suit combinations, and what these ties lack in color, they more than make up for with texture and style.

Made-to-order [...] Highland Park 18-Year Single Malt Scotch Whiskey ($99) Tom Ford Gray Vetiver Eau de Parfum Spray 1.7 oz ($85) Thunderbird Wallet by J. Fold ($67) Sterling Silver Plain Tie Bar by Tiffany & Co. ($75) Lismore Old Fashioned 9 oz. Tumbler by Waterford ($70) Working-class American staple since the early 1900s and iconic since James Dean made it cool in the ’50s, the denim jacket is pure, rugged man-style. We’re digging the Cotton Canvas Rancher’s Jacket by Orvis ($179) as a departure from the ubiquitous blue denim jackets that can be a little tough to wear with jeans. Be [...] |
