Pardon if this fairly-recent (2017 release) Netflix piece has been previously mentioned, but the "search" function was not of much help. That said, I came upon this documentary last night on Netflix. The premise is the (2010) status of bespoke men's tailoring and the suggestion that it is in an irre...

Oddly, one of the movies I watched outbound was "All the Money in the World", based on the Getty kidnap and refusal of JP to pay the ransom.

Saw it on flight back from Madrid. Major takeaway: a good suntan goes a long way in enhancing stylish appearance.

The current edition (I would give it a 7) comes in a bottle that looks like the original bottle, but all the details (cap, nozzle, borders on ...

I have found the MB line to be very overrated and have relegated my 3 to the back of the drawer. My "daily carry" is a Pelikan Souverän K 600 ballpoint. I have removed the standard issue ink cartridge and replaced it with a Parker .7m blue gel ink cartridge. The looks and ergonomics of the pen are v...
