Knife Bomber

I can’t get enough of this grey leather jacket by All Saints. This is quite possibly one of the coolest of the coolest leather jackets ever. It’s called the Knife Bomber jacket, which is quite possibly the coolest name for anything ever. I love the entire vintage feel this jacket gives off as well. I love the dual storm flaps, yoke panel, and shoulder epaulettes. I mean take a look at this thing, I feel like I should be solving grisly murders in 1970′s London. Or at the least driving the van in the A-Team. This is a great look if you are into riding motorcycles or just looking like a bad ass.

The Knife Bomber is a fantastic jacket and is done in a great style. The jacket retails for around $321.00( or 225 euros).
Get one here.

Why not wayfare a bit?

The perfect shades for risky business.

The perfect shades for risky business.

When someone says Ray Ban, many people immediately think of the Aviators. I love aviator sunglasses, I always have and I always will. Lately though, aviators are starting to stand out to me as obvious signs of douchery. So, time to go back to another classic look, the Ray Ban wayfarers, guaranteed to make you look cool. Classic glasses from a classic franchise.

Audrey Hepburn wore them in Breakfast At Tiffany’s and Tom Cruise sported a pair in Risky Business, a reminder that these shades have definitely put their hours in. I like them because I have a bias for vintage wear and because they remind of old school Cadillac tail fins. They are perhaps some of the best pairs of sunglasses out there, equally at home in both formal and casual settings. I prefer the classic black, but Ray-Ban has been recently coming out with colored versions.

Smelling like a Champ, Vintage style.

This should be the cologne of choice for any discriminating man of taste. Vintage by John Varvatos is probably one of the best colognes out there right now. It has a complex aroma, containing notes from a variety of different scents, some of the clear notes being the rhubarb, tobacco, leather, and the fir balsam. It’s also an almost guaranteed lady killer.

I really like it because it’s one of the few colognes that doesn’t have to be overly citrus or sharp while still being very crisp and clear. It has a spicy and smoky smell that you don’t really encounter much and gives a definite masculine feel. I plan on wearing it all the time before every Joe Q starts catching on and playing it out like they did Aqua di Gio, the original lady killer.
