If you're living in the northern hemisphere, hopefully you're well on your way to buying some new gear for swimming, lounging and posing this Summer.
In the swimming stakes I had to give an honorable mention to 55DSL, as they have some cracker items in their beachwear range. More specifically the 'Bauritius' shorts. Not too long, not too short these bad boys will be sure to get a few clicks.
Also check out these items from the same Spring Summer range.

Jude Law: Style Spotlight
Ladies man, philanderer, cad & bounder. Jude Law makes it look all to easy.
From the Talented Mr. Ripley to Alfie, Jude acts and behaves like a true Hollywood star who is quite comfortable using his powers for evil rather than good. When it comes to style you can't look past the guy in Alfie. There's not many men I know who can pull off wearing a pink shirt while riding a vesper and NOT get beaten up. Respect.
I did however, spot an article about him hooking up with Kimberly Stewart, he needs to try a little harder on that front. It's too bad he couldn't keep it in his pants with Sienna. Ahhh, Sienna...

Jeans vs. Women
Jeans are a lot like women.
Some are slim, some flare at the bottom, some are tight. Then occasionally you get some that put up with your shit and for some reason they're a perfect fit. You wear them (literally) all the time when they're new, over time they become a part of you and when they become uncool, you're sad to see them go.
The more I think about it, the more I can compare girls to denim.
The girlfriends who were stunning, yet amazingly fragile. I compare them to my Tsubi's which I loved but always had to be careful as they were prone to ripping and falling apart. They were skinny, cool, loving and always got comments. Definitely some great memories.
Nice girls who would make a great 'life partner' always fit into the Levi's category. You know they're well made and good for the long haul but they just don't do it for you. It's a shame...
Then there's been girls who, well.... let's just say are like your fake Bangkok Diesels. You get them home and think 'What the fuck was I thinking?!'
What you really want, what every guy wants is a pair of Nudie's. Sure, they're not as high maintenance the Tsubi's, but they're well made, fashionable and last the distance.
Finding brands has never been so easy
Brandview is a great website which allows you to find most fashion brand's online retailers. As an example, I was looking for Nudie Jeans and it just so happens there are 10 online retailers according to Brandview. Brilliant!
I think they're one step ahead of Google for finding where you can buy your favorite brand online.

Introducing, Jack London.
In my travels, I've recently discovered the upcoming Australian label that goes by the name of Jack London. Jack London is edgy, Jack London is slim and Jack London doesn't mind getting home at 7am a little side ways.
Slim jeans, small collars, trench coats and pointy shoes, their designs are not for your investment bankers, rather young rockers who were born 30 years too late for the mod revolution.
Their flagship store is located in Melbourne, with stockists in most Australian states. While this doesnt help my international readers, hopefully they start exporting to the US and Europe soon.
Check Jack London out here.

Skin Care For Men
How many people enjoy hugging their luggage? Not many. Us men (yes, we're straight steak eating men) need to look after our skin so we don't turn into LV suitcases with eyes by the time we hit 40. Solariums and general cooking in the sun are usually the worst for aging your skin. Regardless you should still look after your skin.
As a guy you'll fit into one of 3 categories.
The I don't give a damn guy.
You're tuff, rough and the only thing you need in the shower is a good woman and bar of soap from the local supermarket.
The I sorta care guy.
He owns a moisturizer and a cleanser only because his ex girlfriend bought them for him in an attempt to help with his blackhead problem.
The I'm afraid of getting old guy.
Sadly, I fit in this category. I look after my skin and can actually tell if my face begins peeling off from using the wrong cleanser. Luckily I like steak.
If you have never thought of looking after your skin, go and grab yourself some products from the likes of Dermalogica, Zirh, Anthony. Trust me, you'll thank me one day.

Daniel Craig: Style Spotlight
If he's not being James Bond, chasing terrorists or riding polar bears, he's on the streets looking downright dapper. Daniel Craig's portrayal as the new James Bond has shot him into super stardom and rightly so, he's given the Bond franchise a much needed dose of reality. Sorry Piece, you're just not that cool anymore.
Craig has a real eye for style and recently decided to not wear the suits supplied by GQ for a photo shoot, opting for his brand new Tom Ford bespoke number. Now that's Hollywood.
He's a man's man who gets style and always looks razor sharp. Respect.

IWC Vintage Ingenieur Watch
Whilst I am more of a Breitling fan, this IWC Ingenieur revival happend to catch my eye this week. It's simple, classy and with a diameter of 44mm its pretty mofo big.
This model pays homage to the first Ingenieur with automatic movement from 1955 and in a classic black face will look good even on Quasimodo. If you're in the market for classic styled timepiece, then I definitely recommend having a look at this.
If you can't afford the real mccoy at +$5,000, you can get a plane ticket to Bangkok, grab a fakie version and have a happy ending for half the price.
