Free and Easy The Rugged Museum - Tokyo, Japan

While in Tokyo last week I had the great oppurtunity to stop by the infamous store of Free & Easy The Rugged Museum.  Free & Easy is down right the most interesting and best menswear publication in the world.  If you have never seen a copy you need to pick one up ASAP.  These are collector editions and the majority of them get sold out w/ in a few months.  The epidomy of menswear fashion.  Pick up a copy at Kinokuniya bookstores in the US or Japan.

Full Windsor or Half Windsor?

Let's just say the The Windsor Bar (reference to the windsor tie knot....full or half) is an upscale sports bar that's not your typical sports bar w/ guys and gals in jerseys yelling and screaming at the TV. This is a quaint, almost hidden GEM in NYC's West Village situated at the corner of West 4th St & 1oth St.

Yes, it has all the flat screens as your normal sports bar, but almost more like a Society Club. The walls are lined w/ pinstripe cloth wallpaper w/ nice burgundy leather booths and black and white sports photos and other sports nastalgia of NYC. They offer some pretty good food fare too!

Buffalo wings which are worth mentioning for NYC and crab cakes for opening apps and then some sandwiches such as the Lobster BLT & Beef Short Rib Sandwich....Delicious!!!

The atmosphere is low key & classy. Good looking people and upscale young professionals w/ a preppy feeling. Downtown banker's dressed in their suits and jackets mixed in w/ the dressed down guys in a their plaid or tattersal shirt w/ his chino's or slim fit denim. The ladies are elegant in their dresses & skirts and cashmere fitted sweaters. Mingle amongst this classy crowd while you enjoy Spaten Ocktoberfest, Brooklyn IPA or dress it up a bit more w/ the house cocktail special Half Windsor which is a crisp martini of Hendrick’s gin, yuzu, cucumber juice and rose-water sprit.

Mark it down for your next night out you roll w/ your crew and we think you'll like it!

The Preppy Movement is Upon Us!!!

Well, I think we can finally say The Preppy Movement is Upon Us. Thank you Mr. Hilfiger to going back to your roots and giving us Preppy back again and also a shout out to Macy's for dressing their 34th Street - Herald Square Flagship windows. I love what you did!

Preppy is for everyone....kids, teenagers, man & woman and it shows by the Hifiger windows. The framed faces on the different ages wearing Prep is liberating and fresh saying we are going back to basic classic traditional clothing but twisted w/ updates w/ a bit of color contrast & detailing such as mixing and matching different warm luxury fabrics and styled to a modern day 60's look. We are showing people how to dress again like their parents and grandparents did. It is a time to feel revitalized & good about dressing again. Clothing should be practical & fun and defined not only by the clothing, but how you style it to your personality that represents your lifestyle or mood you are feeling for that day.

Tommy is once again an All American!

Check out the pics I took today of the Macy's windows so you can see what I am talking about. Enjoy and if you get a chance go and see the windows. Seeing is believing!
