Custom Made Dress Shirts @ Joe Button : →
I just came across this site for custom shirting. Although I can’t speak on their quality, I can say that the website’s interface is incredibly easy to use and there are enough option to keep you busy. Anyone out there with any experience? Oh, and I’m not gonna lie, I’m definitely not feeling the name. But hey, if they make a good shirt….

Birth of the Cool →
Born on this day in 1924 with more sprezzatura than any man on Earth before or since: the great Marcello Mastroianni. His role as a tabloid columnist in 1960’s La Dolce Vita (above) is his best known, but far from only notable, film.

"Oakham" Double Monk from Bespoke-England →
I’m still not 100% sure how I feel about the whole double monk trend. Although I do find them elegant, I’m not sure if they are for me. I tend to like them in most of the pics I see on the internet, but as more of and Alden and American shoe guy in general, they may be a little too dainty for my particular taste.

Personally, I don’t love all the styles in here, but its nice to hear and see some different perspectives from across the pond. And considering London Fashion Week is going down right now this seemed time appropriate.

The Death of British Eyewear Manufacturing
I have to admit, I didn’t really know anything about this before reading this post. I mean, I knew Opera Opera made amazing eyewear, but before this, I knew nothing about the history, which if you know me you’d agree is quite unusual.

Quoted @NorthernGRADE →
