An Eton shirt is one of the best dress shirts a man can own. There is just something about the way it feels against the skin, the way the collar stays crisp under a suit jacket or sport coat, and the always classic look that make Eton shirts irresistible. Addicting, even.

They both make you feel relaxed and comfortable.

But, unlike the liquor with a reputation for havoc when consumed in large quantities, you can never have too many jeans and be too comfortable (the morning after too many tequila shots is the definition of misery).

Designer denim has become the norm among well-heeled men, so much so that even lived-in looking jeans that you wear while changing your car’s oil are now among the denim elite. No brand knows casual-chic denim better than Joe’s, a California-based men and women’s clothing line.

There are many qualities that comprise a comfortable pair of jeans, but stretch is probably the most important characteristic when it comes to fit. DL1961, a brand of designer denim, has perfected the art of stretch denim with their X-Fit Lyrca technology.

Harleys is the purveyor of men’s denim in the Shorewood and Milwaukee area, and while we don’t play favorites with our jeans, we do have a special place in our hearts for Citizens of Humanity.

As we noted in a recent post, the recent surge in demand for men's dress shirts has birthed an outpouring of dress shirts of varying qualities, which makes finding a good dress shirt harder than ever before. That is, unless you know where to look...and who to look for.

What do hot cakes and Tateossian bracelets have in common?

They are selling like crazy!

OK, fine, fine. Please excuse our bad joke. But it's true that Tateossian bracelets are the hottest men's accessory right now. So hot, in fact, that we can barely keep them in stock.

Today, a man can never have too many dress shirts. In fact, The Wall Street Journal published an article, “The Dress Shirt’s Big Moment,” and in it quoted shirt makers as saying the average number of shirts a man should have in his closet is 20.

Many men in Shorewood and Milwaukee shy away from made-to-measure suiting and clothing for three main reasons. The first is fear of price, second is fear of time, and the third (and probably most common) is not knowing what the heck made-to-measure is anyway.

Looking for last minute Christmas gift? Give him a W. Kleinberg, a luxury leather belt made from the finest leathers tanned in Europe and constructed with expert craftsmanship right here in the U.S.

Not only it is a thoughtful, high-quality gift, but it is also one that will last. W. Kleinberg belts are known for lasting, and looking good, for years after you buy them. As we’ve said before, they take years to wear in and a lifetime to wear out.

Most men balk at the thought of wearing anything remotely considered “jewelry,” but a new trend is emerging, and it seems to suggests men are getting more comfortable with adornments beyond cufflinks. Braided leather bracelets by Tateossian are cropping up more often on the wrists of men around the world, including those of the gentlemen right here in Shorewood, Wisconsin.

Many great artists, scientists and philosophers were recognized for their prodigious contributions to the world only long after they were dead, e.g. Vincent Van Gogh, Gregor Johann Mendel, Socrates, etc.

I never would of thunk it, but I believe Steve Urkel belongs in this canon.
