Our Beloved Sponsors

We write our site out of a love for men’s clothing and style, but it’s nice when companies come and support what we do. So, we’d like to take a moment to thank our three sponsors this month.

Our first sponsor, The Hanger Project, sells luxury hangers. Their hangers have wide, curved shoulders and come in four different sizes. This allows them to best support the shape and structure of any suit jacket or sport coat. They also make them in three different finishes, including the new dark brown, satin “Alfred Finish” pictured above. And though their speciality is in hangers, they offer a wide range of other things, such as shoe care supplieslaundry care items, and personal care products. Kirby, the founder of the company, also has a full shoe care guide posted on his website, which covers almost everything you’d ever need to know about the topic.

Our second sponsor is Frank Clegg Leatherworks, a high-end leather goods company based in Fall Rivers, Massachusetts. They sell everything from briefcases to messenger bags to wallets, as well as a wide range of items for women. Everything is made in their Fall Rivers workshop and constructed from some of the best materials around. They have a belting leather, for example, that’s a kind of vegetable tanned leather treated with extra fat liquors during the conditioning process. This gives the material a bit more richness. They also only use solid brass hardware, which ensures nothing will break, and Swiss RiRi zippers, which are considerably higher quality than what most manufacturers use. You can see President Obama with one of their briefcases above.

Finally, our last sponsor is Compass Rose Design, a company that makes men and women’s accessories out of genuine vintage and antique items. That means creating things such as tie bars out of antique trolley tokens and cufflinks out of old railroad date nails. For women, they have things such as bracelets and hairpins, as well as jewelry made out of Victorian buttons. Everything is handmade by the company’s owners out of their studio in San Francisco, and for this week only, they’re offering 15% off with the checkout code VINTAGE.

So thanks to all three companies for their support. We genuinely appreciate it.

I want all of those things.

Providence and NYC

All right friends, I’m heading to the good ol’ East Coast this Friday for theatre and general good times.  I will have a lot of downtime outside the show, so.  Where should I go?  What should I do?  Where should I thrift?

1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

2. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

3. erase processed food from your diet. start with no lollies, chips, biscuits, then erase pasta, rice, cereal, then bread. use the rule that if a child couldn’t identify what was in it, you don’t eat it.

4. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

5. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

6. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

7. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

8. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

9. organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

10. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

11. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

12. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

14. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

15. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

16. lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you. By Sixteen Small Steps to Happiness   (via myfavoritecolourisshiny)
