A couple post back I asked for help to style an outfit out of 2 items. I got a couple good outfits that you guys emailed in that I will share with you guys over the course of the next couple of weeks.
Up first is the outfit put together by Bryan Maltier an avid reader of marcustroy.com.
“In my old age I’ve moved more towards “quiet” colors. So I didn’t do anything real crazy. “
I’m really feeling the simplicity of this outfit. I’m loving the knit piece, the brown elbow matches really make this piece look exceptional. I would add a tie to complete the outfit. other than that I would rock this outfit as is. I’m glad Bryan did not use the typical Louis Vuitton messenger bag for the ensemble.
Thanks Bryan.
This UXA hat is pretty fresh! I stole this from my homie Raj’s blog. He is the distrubutor for UXA in Canada.
Dexter and Byron Peart, BA’95 (Economics), 34-year-old twins, are starting their venture with a luxury leather goods line called Want – Les Essentiels de la Vie. On their quest, they’re travelling from New York to Milan, Moscow to Cape Town, toting the first “essential” items from their line: computer bags and iPod cases. The computer bags are named after Trudeau and de Gaulle. Dexter and Byron were born in Ottawa, took twin economics degrees from University of Western Ontario and moved to Montreal in 1995 and 1996, respectively.
With Dexter having spent eight years as vice president of Sixty Canada, and Byron five years as Marketing Director of Diesel Canada, the stylish twosome have already clocked up plenty of fashion experience between them. Noticing a gap in the accessories market for something a little different, WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie caters for everyone from the stylish jetsetter to the seasonal weekend traveler.
Their project
The Twins, as they are known throughout the downtown scene, have garnered the attention and affection of the fashion and music communities with their unparalleled style and energy. They have appeared in fashion spreads and advertisements in the world’s most influential style magazines. They have had their portrait painted by renowned fine artist Kehinde Wiley and have popped up in advertising campaigns for Puma, Nike, Supreme, BBC, Marc Jacobs and A New York Thing, as well as in editorials for Teen Vogue, The New York Post and Paper Magazine. The Twins’ accessories – belts and brooches by Dee and Ricky- were commissioned by renowned fashion designer Marc Jacobs for his New York Fashion WeekSpring 2008 rtwrunway show.
Their project
Being a identical twin myself, I find it very inspiring to see other twins doing big things in their domain.
Thanks guys for keeping me inspired.

Portuguese chicken has to be the best darn chicken ever. ( next to jerk chicken of course) This little spot in Montreal called Romados makes the best chicken and fries ever. I had this meal yesterday after a drunken night of debauchery and foolishness and oh did it touch the spot. If ever you visit Montreal, make sure you hit me up and I will personally take you to this spot, and guess what? It will be on me. You got to let me know in advance though, they run out of chicken at 9 o’clock.
I got invited to a couple Halloween parties this weekend and I needed a costume fast…I don’t really celebrate Halloween and never owned a costume. I was told to wear all black and bring a mask, so I decide to improvise. I was going trough my dresser to find an old black t-shirt I could cut up to make a ZORO-ESQ mask, but guess what? I had no old t-shirts (weird) I was going to cut up a $20 AA t-shirt or I was going to take a knife to the Uniqlo. As I pulled out the last Ikea drawer I found this old Cut and Sew t-shirt which was turned inside out, giving me the impression it was all black. WOW! A skeleton face…Perfect. I cut some holes and bingo I looked like a japaneese wrestler named Hugo. Moving on…
The host with the most.
I was meditating…
Some ladies of the night…
The pumpkins are smiling…
There is just an amazing feeling about wearing a mask…I can’t explain it.

“In a world of second-bests, we set out to create a line of leather and leather-trimmed luxury goods made without compromise. What began as a very small collection of specialized leather field sport gear has evolved and grown into a line that now encompasses men’s, women’s, luggage, gift, golf and corporate sales divisions. The mix includes functional, thoughtfully designed, finely crafted products for the world traveler, businesspeople and sportsmen.
“Much of our product development is the result of inspiration drawn from within. But we’ve also listened to our customers and responded to their requests and needs for products that combine mobility, functionality and style. It’s all about balance … bringing new collections and designs to the market and having the continuity of classic, best-selling signature pieces. This approach provides freshness to help attract new Mulholland customers while maintaining comforting familiarity for your existing collectors.
We are very proud of the long-term relationships that we’ve cultivated and look forward to introducing new customers to the Mulholland lifestyle.”

If you don’t already have a Pea coat, I think I found the perfect one for you. The Buzz Rickson Navy Pea Coat – USN 1910′s Model.
“Buzz Rickson has gone to great lengths to reproduce the perfect classic pea-coat…
The US Navy’s original pea-coat was fabricated from heavy, 32-ounce melton wool and, up until the late 1930’s, featured black bakelite buttons displaying an anchor surrounded by 13 stars; the 13 stars were derived from the original 13 states when the United States became an independent nation and broke its ties to England in 1776. The large-sized collar of the coat was designed to block strong ocean winds and the corduroy-lined side pockets helped thwart the numbing effect on hands from the biting winter seas. By the 1940’s, officer’s coats were redesisgned and the heavy melton wool was relegated only for the enlisted ranks’ pea coats and the 13-star buttons were changed to the fouled-anchor design still employed to this day.
Buzz Rickson takes it back to their favorite era of the pea coat, the 1910 style with all the classic stylings found on the original.”
You can purchase the Pea Coat here for $675
