Gilt MANual|Essentials #53: A Polished Pair of...
While the work boot is certainly a force to be reckoned with in the menswear world (and a genuine essential in our book), there’s a whole other breed out there that deserves a place on your shoe rack. One that you can, and should, wear with a suit (just mind the caveats).
Dress boots are sleeker, lighter and crafted from finer leather than their blue-collar cousins. These slimmed down takes...

gentsense replied to your post: #OccupyTheTailor
I assume that, by this, you mean you want the tailor to have a renaissance or resurgence in prominence, which I wholeheartedly countenance, and not that you’re occupying the tailor’s space as a protest against his tyranny. :)
You are correct, sir.

Date A Girl Who Reads
twittahmom:
“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly...

Appreciation.
jay-cub:
Usually when I come on tumblr and I see guys forever reblogging/posting pictures of half-naked girls, sexual innuendos, and just straight up ignorant comments about women I just brush it off, but today it really hit me. Have men lost all appreciation for women? It truly saddens me to see this atrocity appear before my eyes. Whatever happened to class? Whatever happened to manners? I...

What happened to love?
neverlandwhereibegan:
Dear guys,
Whatever happened to telling a girl she was beautiful instead of hot? Looking into her eyes instead of down her shirt? What happened to courting a girl instead of just dating her? What happened to respecting a girl enough to do all of this?

We live in an era of ageism that ranges in degree from the ridiculous to the creepy. The venerable has given way to the venereal. Young now gets the honors that once belonged to old. I guess it’s the punk legacy-live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse. That works out well for one’s heirs, but it’s not a course I endorse. I say live long, date young, and leave a...
