Grazie Il Capitano!

Today we say good-bye to a great champion: Paolo Maldini. He is a few days short of his 41st birthday and has played better than most players at their peaks. He is a class act, a true example for young sportsmen everywhere.

His career has been longer than my life, and I have cheered him on for most of my life and I will miss being able to in the future.

His father was Milan’s Captain, he has been Milan’s Captain, and apparently his son is quite the player himself, so here’s to hoping we get to see another Maldini wear red and black.

Thank you Paolo.

Bluetooth

“The etymology of the name Bluetooth can be reported here. It comes from a tenth century Scandinavian king, Harald Bluetooth, who managed to unite several unruly kingdoms. Thus, Bluetooth is a reference to the taming of a myriad of unruly competing standards by defining one world-wide specification.” Sysopt.com

Double-Breasted in Grey

Just came back from the thrift store, where the selection was impeccable, but nothing fit me. There were all sorts of Allen Edmonds, Bally’s, and other great shoes that all fit me wrong.

Lady Ludwig van Gaga

I never realized that Lady Gaga had such pipes and bodacious piano skills. Really not feeling that Matador hat she’s wearing however.

Common Projects + Moscot Eyewear

Common Projects are a well known name on this blog and many others; lauded for their minimalist design and expert craftsmanship, the Italian brand has decided to go into the sun glass game with this latest collaboration with little-known Moscot Eyewear. Moscot, founded in 1915 have a long history and pedigree, based out of New York they teamed up with the Common Projects squad to produce these minimal sunglasses.

The Tod’s Nuovo Gommini

A pair of drivers are critical to looking fresh during the warmer months of summer. I would argue that a nice pair of suede kicks such as the Tod’s above are an excellent choice. If you’re going  to spend $300 something dollars on a pair, get a loud color like these yellow ones, or a purple (I have a pair) and then wear them without socks and ensuring that the rest of your outfit is understated to balance out the shouting drivers on your feet.

Casual and Elegant, Berlin

This gentleman from Berlin is not wearing what normally is associated with “elegance,” but that is not the point. I think the glasses, the hair, the way he carries himself is far more important than what he is actually wearing.

This sort of shot is just a prime example of what effect attitude has on an outfit. Your attitude will always shine through whatever you wear. People notice that, and thats why its so important to dress to who you really are, rather than what others want you to be.

unis shirt

This is the unis 2 pocket shirt, which can be found here, but to be honest, at $200 (on sale) it really isn’t the greatest shirt ever. I certainly wouldn’t pay even $20 for that shirt.
