* Play this while you read this post…it sets the mood…it came on my itunes while I was writing this post. Enjoy!

I feel really blessed to be surrounded by great people who are doing great things and working with great brands. Last night a homie of mine who works in the garment industry brought me over a box that contained some really exciting pieces from a brand that I’m falling in love with. Here you have the Penfield plaid shirt which I’m really feeling, it’s 100% cotton shell  that’s moderately thick which is perfect for the fall.

There is something about cable knitted toques that I just love and I can’t seem to put my fingers on it. I do remember one of the first times I really wanted one, it must have been when I saw Jay-Z in the “Anything” video wearing one on the park bench with his homies. For some reason or the other I never picked one up or had one until now.

This toque reminds me of the toques we used to wear when we were growing up ….oh we hated them so much! Now I can’t wait to wear this pompom toque.

This piece has to be one of my favorites! Here you have the Anoka II jacket which is a 3 layer black rain coat with bear 5000/5000 functional fabric, fully taped seams, removable hood, 2 angled hand pockets, Penfield side wall buttons, concealed button opening, contrast tricot lining. It is so dope and fits perfectly! I am a huge fan.

Thanks to my friends over at Penfield for the Love.

My Life

This cloudy Tuesday morning I decided to dress up with some garments I received the night earlier from a friend of mine who works in the garment industry.

I usually plan my outfits out in my head the night before; I first start with the shoes and work my way up. This morning I decided to put on a pair of Sebago Lighthouse boat shoe boots given to me by a one Ronnie Fieg a footwear aficionado in New York City. These Black and Silver full grain leather distressed boots are a perfect fit for this kind of weather Montreal weather. The dark tones are reminiscent of coal after it has combusted after a  nightlong bonfire.

I wanted to wear a pair of black jeans to complement the boots, the only pair of jeans that would be right for this outfit and rest perfectly inside the boots are my pair of super skinny Levis 510′s originals that I picked up at Style Exchange, a boutique in the downtown area of Montreal. Don’t be startled by the description of super skinny they have a bit of stretch in the denim, which keeps it comfortable and fitting. These jeans never fade and are as black as the night sky on a cold winter night.

My white undershirt by American Apparel sets the tone of the outfit, even though it is unseen. I always feel fresh and clean in a white under shirt, it is the only item that really describes my feelings. It makes me feel like Marlon Brando in “A Streetcar Named Desire”.

My layering piece of choice today is by the American heritage brand Pendfield, a moderately thick  white and black buffalo plaid shirt in a medium size. I like wearing shirts one size down from my usually size, it fits a lot more tailored which is more my styling these days. This trailwear buffalo plaid shirt is 100% cotton on the shell and the interior is 100% polyester that gives it a great feel and touch. The nylon ribbed interior collar is also a great added touch.This complements the jeans and the boots superbly! Each button, 12 to be exact are embossed twice with the Penfield logo, it has 2 breast pockets large enough to fit a small calculator by Texas instruments and your wallet if need be. The left breast pocket has a subtle leather embossed Penfield patch that symbolizes their mark of quality garments.

Before my outfit is completed I usually search around for the right timepiece. You can tell a lot about a man by the type of timepiece he decides to wear. Today I decided to go with the Nautica A3000  BFC Chrono Chronograph which has a brushed silver case, black dial with black resin strap and stainless steel hardware. I choose this watch to keep in line with my nautical theme.

The last piece is usually the tricky one! I never want to choose an outerwear piece that is overbearing and outshine my outfit unless it is the focal point of ensemble. I like an outerwear piece that complements my outfits seamlessly. The friend of mine that I spoke about earlier who works in the garment industry was very thoughtful in his selection of garments for this box of goodies he dropped off at my place of residence. One of the items was a three layer Penfield Raincoat featuring fully taped seams, removable hood, 2 angled hand pockets, Penfield side wall buttons, concealed button opening and contrast tricot lining. I have to admit I look very distinguished in this jacket.

Lastly, a cable knitted grey  Mountain toque by Penfield which is very similar to one worn by a Shawn Carter in  the “Anything” visual presentation, completes the outfit  perfectly.

Off I go to the office for a full day of meetings and product selection.

I hope you enjoyed The M.Troy Catalog, I think J.Peterman would be very proud of me…

LouLou magazine out of Montreal put together a shopping night in Montreal with a couple key retailers, Oakley being 1 of them. They invited all of their readers out for a private night of shopping with generous discounts. I stopped by Oakley to say what’s up to some of my peeps and eat cupcakes.

This marks one of the first times consumers had a chance to get Oakley eyewear on a nice little discount! This was a great shopping occasion for everyone.

The other day I met up with Artist/Actor/Musician/Producer/Rapper and a person I’m growing really fond of The Narcicyst to talk about life amongst other things. He blessed with some of his T-shirts and his newest album which I find really incredible. Look out for the homey in a new flick dropping at the Dubai film festival… I will keep you posted.

I find the quote on the t-shirt to be very brilliant! You can purchase his music and t-shirt here

Very cool to see A.P.C out of France collaborate with NYC brand Supreme on a pair of new standards. I love APC denim they fit me really well, I thing the Supreme touch just adds a little more flavor to it.(no coke zero)

“The jean, a specially designed version of A.P.C.’s classic New Standard style, will feature a back pocket embroidery and a removable pin. The tee will come in two colors; red (available exclusively at Supreme stores) and black (available exclusively at A.P.C. Stores).

Available in-store and online on October 1st. Available in Japan on October 3rd.”
