Why post just one photo? To emphasise what 'cool' looks like. If D'Marge was a man other than myself, it would be this cat.
I bet you $100, this guy shits pocket squares.

Marcs Washed Leather Brogues
Two posts in two days about brogues. Lucky you! Whilst on a flight this morning, I happened past the new Marcs catalog in this months issue of Men's Style.
Brogues can sometimes look very old man, and either have too much detail or not enough. But these are on the money. They'll look great with black or dark jeans. And at just over $200, that's all good.
The only problem is the logo on the heel. If you can get past that then they're good value.
See them here.

Australian Men's Fashion
Over the coming weeks I'll be showcasing some of Australia's best menswear designers. Arthur Galan, Calibre, Saba, Ksubi and more. Australia's men's fashion scene has been getting bigger and better every year. And with the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival just passing it was time to shine some light on the scene.
D'Marge is published in Australia, yet has a large global audience of well dressed individuals. I hope you're all happy to see the best Australia has to offer.
Cheers!

Rolex Milgauss
Never been a massive fan of the old Rolex. They've always reminded me of middle aged men with gold chains, hairy chests and sex holidays to Thailand.
However, the Rolex Milgauss is a ripper.
First introduced in 1954 this timepiece has recently been given a new lease on like. And with the green bezel, orange second hand and stainless bracelet it's a winner winner, chicken dinner.
Check out the Rolex Milgauss here.

Nicole Farhi Spring Summer 2010 Collection
Nicole Farhi is not a big name here in Australia, which is shame as this designer of men's and women's fashion is really pretty damn good. Nicole Frahi has been in business for close to 27 years and it shows. Simple, well made, refined and fits like a glove.
Their SS 2010 range is navy blazers, white pants, pocket squares and low key pastels. That combination would help you pick up even the most discerning wealthy cougar.
Visit Nicole Farhi here to see the range.
Gimme a little Pipe Burn
I've just got onto another fantasic Cafe Racer blog called, Pipe Burn. No not the kind of 'Pipe Burn' you have after bad Indian curry, but the good classic kind that have 2 wheels and go.
Well worth a visit - Pipe Burn

Grenson Classic Brogues
There's nothing more thrilling than purchasing a pair of shoes that have character. Grenson shoes, I beleive, have character. Grensen are an old English shoemaker (founded in 1866) who produce great mens shoes. I am currently on the hunt for some brogues, so my best mate suggested that I should get a pair of Grenson's.
Top idea. Now all I need to do is find them in Australia.

Aesop Skin Care
Apparently Aesop was the greek god of the Brazilian wax. The type of Greek god I would like to have a beer with. But Aesop, is also a skin care and body product range that's top shit.
Their motto, 'we believe that well-being and external beauty are ultimately a result of a healthy diet, moderate exercise and consistent attention to, and protection of, the skin.' I believe looking good and feeling good is a product of being awesome.
Aesop stores are architecturally designed and compel you to spend money on their large range of fantastic skin products for both men and women.
I recommend buying their handwash and keeping it in the bathroom for your guests. Trust me, people (women) appreciate using soap that hasn't recently cleaned your ass.
Check them out here.

Timberland 'Counterpane' Oxford Shoe
Love a good oxford shoe. But don't love Timberland. It's something my dad would wear. However, Timberland have just earnt my respect with their new 'Counterpane' shoe. It's rough and ready to be sported down any street. In a distressed suede with a tough leather sole it's sure to look great with a pair of jeans.
Don't know where you can buy them in Australia, but you can get them online at Nordstroms.

D&G Anthology - la roue de la fortune
Finding interesting fragrances is my thing. So much so, I'm on a first name basis with all the gals at the local department store. No, not really. Whilst I've never been a fan of Italian fragrances, the 5 piece D&G anthology series is quite nice. Specifically the # 10 La Roue De La Fortune cologne for both men and women. It has top notes of pink pepper, pineapple, tuberose and heart notes of gardenia, jasmine, vanilla. Fresh.
It's not bad at all. Got mine from Strawberry net.

Schweppes Mix Wiki
One of my best mates and I used to live for Friday cocktails. Cocktails, spins and requesting that girls give us their purse as they'd walk by. Now that I'm old and slightly more mature I prefer a perfectly mixed drink in the comfort of my own castle.
Schweppes Australia have just launched a cool little site called the Schweppes Mix Wiki. It's their vision on how the perfect cocktail should be mixed. Most importantly they show you how the cocktail should look. Remember, design is everything people.
Visit the Schweppes Mix Wiki.

All Saints Meuse Leather Biker Jacket
I love a good leather jacket, like I love my girlfriend when she plays nurse. Whilst on GQ today I noticed this one from All Saints. A simple slim fit black biker jacket with that trés cool quilted vibe happening on the shoulders.
If you're in the market check it out here.

TopMan is tops for tops and... bottoms
I flew up to Sydney, Australia last week for a wedding. Let's just say my pocket square and khaki suit were not as welcomed as I would have thought. But anyways... Whilst I was there I checked out INCU and their range of Topman clothing.
Now you all know that I'm a big fan of blowing cash but the prospect of buying a bargain top, suit or jacket still appeals to me. The best thing about Topman is that it's not in Australia, or the US yet. I think. So not everyone wears it.
So while the going is good. Either log onto Topman's website or visit INCU's shop in Sydney (Oxford Street)
Giddy up!
Diesel Jeans
If I'm completely honest with my readers, I've only ever bought Diesel Jeans once in my life. Probably because only 'sfigati' seem to wear them in Australia. But truth be told, they're actually good quality and fit pretty damn good.
Their website caught my eye this week. And more importantly the 'Viker' range. Cool washes in a straight leg fit. Love them straight legs. Love them long legs.
The new Diesel Denim range is now available in the US of A.

Gilt Man, Style Sale
My friend and style attache, Devrin of NYC recently told me about a great site called Gilt Man. What is it I hear you ask? Well it's what every guy has always wanted. Well almost. It's daily sales of great designer menswear at heavily discounted prices.
John Vavartos, Burberry, Adidas, you name it, they will probably have it on sale very soon. The only catch is you need to be a member, but that's ok, good fashion is worth giving your email address for.
Actually the only other catch.... They only ship to the US. Time to get myself a US crediticard, bank account and wife.
Visit Gilt Man here.
