Ralph Lauren Fall 2010 Collection

The 2010 Collection from Ralph Lauren is a gas chamber of tailoring. Keeping the power of its basics with extreme details in cut, fabrics, and occasional duffle, Brooks Brothers probably shed a tear for the Bronx-born tie salesman when they saw this collection. This is the simple clean lines thats makes my day. Suits that not only feel great for the work day but have the comfort and fit to wear well into the weekend. It reminds me of a modern day "Mad Men." Semi-spread collar hold skinny-less tie that adopt width in a three piece suit complemented with quiet patterns on-top of a minimal break in the pants hem. Bespoke it looks but Ralph Lauren has always had a graceful understanding of tailoring.

I couldn't image any normal dressing male not wanting to wear this or obtain this for his personal closest. Unrestricted yet balanced for the body with splashes of colors every so often for a somewhat colorless individual. Raw and edgy he brought a bottom-zipper motorcycle jacket with snug jeans to compliment the frame that would have anyone ready to jump on a chopper. The tweed blazer and maroon tie mixed with the slacks looks like a modern day college professor giving a visual look in style. As the collect goes on, so does the comfort of its outfits as fall is the time grey, cream and autumn color seem to ease its way in with the rest of the dark hue family.

Without a doubt I love this collection presented. Just looking at it gave a great understanding how fit should be and keeping simplicity with a touch of edge doesn't have to do with fashion. It has to do with style.

Obsession Of The Day.. Correction, year.

Jam this in your Ipod..

Just a year ago the Baltimore-based duo was squatting at an emotionally chilly latitude. Songs like "Gila", from the group's sophomore record Devotion, were driven onward only by the glacial ticking of a paper-thing drum machine and Victoria Legrand's smoky voice. Had David Lynch required a house band to play in "Twin Peaks"' Black Lodge, Beach House would have been a shoo-in.

But "Norway", the lead track from Teen Dream, the duo's Sub Pop debut, raises the temperature a few degrees. A percussive intro yields to an explosion of twinkling guitars and a chorus of woozy backing vocals. The core elements of Beach House's sound-- the drum machine, the thrift store keyboards-- are still present; they're just a few ticks faster. This makes a big difference. As it turns out, Beach House goes from dour to exuberant in just a few BPM.

Legrand, whose vocals have been saddled with Nico comparisons, can finally breathe a sigh of relief, too. The 1960s chanteuse's shadow is nowhere to be found here. "You let us in the wooden house/ To share in all the wealth," sings Legrand over a carsick slide guitar riff. No, "Norway" is radiant with the sunshiny 70s pop vibes. It's Stevie Nicks territory, for sure. Climate change has come to Beach House, and the weather suits them beautifully

Land's End Canvas Catalog

Lands' End began as a sailboat equipment company in 1963 in Chicago, Illinois. The company is named from its sailboat heritage, after Land's End, but the misplaced apostrophe in the company name was a typographical error that the founder (Gary Comer) could not afford to change, as promotional materials had already been printed.

Guaranteed. Period. That's what you'll hear when you ask about the new idea that Land's End Canvas were you can return anything at any time for any reason. Land's End takes inspiration from classic pieces and gives them a new life with a modern fit, style and sensibility. I had never heard of the company before but when I was in one of retail stores I gave them a try and by much surprise, the fit was incredible. Tailored close to the body but never tight (me and my 42" chest like that). Their clothing reminded me of Gap back in the day of serious casualness but a modern understanding of fit and proportions of the modern day male and female that prefer a clean line with the right placement of details to lean one's body and keep comfort. I tried on a few shirts but didn't get the chance to try on their jeans, they did look slim and form fitting with no signs of skinny written on the tags. The canvas shoes were nice and the desert boots look like some winners.

Unfortunately in their catalog they don't show more then half of what's in stores right now for men cause of catering to the female crowd. I don't have a problem with pretty women. Without a doubt though, Land's End Canvas is a brand you would want to check out. With the tailoring of there clothes comes a prices that would easily have you picking up a shirt or two, or three. Who would be one to deny a great fit and a great price?
