Squares and handkerchiefs...

On the theme of fashion, I do love a good pocket-square, but rarely get the chance to flaunt one. Here's a brilliant page on different folds for a pocket square.

"How to fold a pocket square"

There are so many different styles, I think I've only ever donned the one, two and three-point squares. Check out the 'Dunaway Pocket Square Fold':

Imagine if pocket-squares were like a more cultivated form of Handkerchief Code:

Tan: wants to smoke a cigar while having sex
Apricot: chubby chaser
Sand: using tears or sweat as lubricant for intercourse
Chamoise: indicates the wearer is looking for sex involving a motorcycle as a prop

Put this on...

I have been watching a web-series on male fashion called 'Put This On'. I'm furiously enjoying it because it's all about how to look good, be masculine, look after yourself and NOT be a metro-sexual. It includes wonderful tips that everyone man should know, like matching your belt with your shoes, and not over-dosing with cologne. I've embedded the first episode (on denim) below, be sure to watch the whole series through.

The featured jeans company in this first episode, 'Rising Sun Jeans', has a post on their website about vintage summer work shirts. At my grandfather's place under the sink in the laundry there's a pile of old King Gee work shirts, I took one every time I visited in the summer. They were soft from years of work and sweat under the sun, and were patched and sewn together in places, and they were the most comfortable shirts I have ever worn.

'Riot' photo shoot

The gringos from Vice magazine headed out to the student protests in London recently to take photographs for a fashion shoot. What a tremendous idea.
