Category Archives: play

play is defined as, “..exercise or activity for amusement or recreation..”. to that end, we fine gentlemen need attire to compliment the activities we throw ourselves in with full abandonment. just as we switched into play clothes after school, so should we build a wardrobe to enjoy our weekend, hang out with the boys or that special someone, slip away for a couple of days, or just veg out around the house. who said you can’t look well put together even at play?!

play / beardo is neato!

i don’t even know how i came across these brilliant beanies, but they are perfect for those of us that either experience cold weather or go skiing a lot.

i’m ordering my first one as i type this post up. they are incredibly unique AND practical. i don’t like to wear a beard all the time and will go clean-shaven on a whim, forgetting that it can be cold outside. you can wear the beanie with or without the detachable/adjustable beard….but why would you?!

you can pick up your own at Beardo.  you can also hit them up at @Beardowear.  hit this link, so i can get credit for referring you via Fab.com

play / paper denim & cloth

 

on my quest to find jeans that AREN’T covered in skulls, snakes, celtic crosses, roses, rhinestones, paint, holes and other questionable accent markings (or that other fuckery called “skinny”)……i found the best brand of jeans in a mid to high price point! 

SIDEBAR:  what in the hell is up with men’s jeans being more bedazzled than women’s anyway?!

Paper Denim & Cloth… founded in 1999, by Scott Morrison and owned by Dick Gilbert. i found it interesting they made the decision to drop their price point 50-60%, beginning in 2006, even when everyone else was raising the price of their denim.

i eventually bought five pairs of them. the MSRP is $98-110, but i got mine at a steal. i’ve been rocking mine with some vintage tee’s i grabbed at target. for sure this winter they will easily be paired with vest, button-downs, sweaters and blazers.

the jeans have just the right amount of distressing going on, just the slightest bit of fade…AND they come in real colors like dark grey, blue, black and the perfect shade of faded blue. the jeans are supple, no embellishments and they fit perfectly. thanks to the American, Italian and Japanese ring-spun denim, these jeans feel like they’ve been broken in already.

go grab a pair. they’re worth it, whatever price you happen to find them at!
