I love what Cole Haan has been doing as of late. These new Lunar Grand Chukka’s are the talk of the town! These arrived this week and I can’t wait to wear them out in public. These should be dropping really soon so make sure you pick them up if you missed the last dropped of the lunar grand collection.

A few months ago I had the great opportunity to talk with a craftsman by the name of Frank Clegg who has been working with leather for the past 35 years. He has worked with some of the worlds most notable companies and now he is continuing to create outstanding pieces through his own brand Frank Clegg Leatherworks. We’ve since become friends and we are figuring out a few interesting ways to work together. Recently Frank sent me this beautiful new duffle bag that he created with travellers like myself in mind. We named it the Monsieur Troy. Traveling is such an imporatant part of my life and what I travel with is paramount.
I recently took this bag on a trip with me and it is exceptional!
Stay tuned for some more excited news from Frank Clegg and myself!

I’ve been extremely impressed with Pentax lately. I think I need to get my hands on this camera.
Pentax has officially announced the K-30 weather-sealed mid-level DSLR. It’s built around the same updated 16MP sensor and processor as the K-01, so should offer impressive image quality and borrows many of the features from the more expensive K-5. It can shoot continuously at up to 6 frames per second, has a maximum shutter speed of 1/6000th of a second and can capture video at 1080p30. via
“And she loves to show me off, of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source“
I finally know how B.I.G felt.
I am really proud of this huge mention in the Source. I had no idea it was going to be a double page feature. I am humbled by this and I want to thank Kim Osorio and the Source for the love.
The issue is on stands now with Wiz Khalifa and his crew.
The Source asked me to mention some of my favorite things at the moment. Pick up the issue to find out more.
Every man should own a pair of SWIMS, they have become essential in my wardrobe. They’ve recently partnered up with Emporio Armani for a great collaboration. SWIMS are just a nice way to keep your shoes looking great in the rain.
SWIMS collaborates with Armani for Fall 2012
May 2012, New York, NY – Norwegian lifestyle brand SWIMS is delighted to announce its collaboration with Armani for their Fall 2012 collection. Known for reinventing the galosh, SWIMS has created a bespoke collection of modern day galoshes aligned with the unique artistry of Armani shoes.
For SWIMS founder Johan Ringdal, such collaboration was always in the cards, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Armani to create their Fall 2012 galoshes. SWIMS galoshes are extremely unique and we can’t wait to see them in Armani stores this fall!”
Carlo Ferotti, Commercial Director at Armani in Milan, also shared his excitement about this wonderful partnership, “Collaborating with SWIMS has been such a wonderful and positive experience. They are a very dedicated team; precise, serious and cooperative, and we are confident that the galoshes will definitely be a success!”
With the trend in footwear shifting toward craftsmanship and high quality materials, the need for SWIMS to protect shoes from inclement weather conditions is increasingly important. Armani has always produced the ultimate high quality shoe and the SWIMS galosh is their perfect partner.
In February 2006, the SWIMS overshoes appeared in stores for the first time. They are now available in a variety of colors, are waterproof, anti-slip, shock absorbing and tear- resistant. The inside is fitted with a smooth liner that makes it easier to put on and take off the overshoe (and at the same time it dually functions as a shoe shiner!).
Once referred to as “not fashionable enough for luxury retailers” by a top-tier US luxury retailer, SWIMS are now sold in more than 20 countries at prestigious retailers such as Neiman Marcus and Saks 5th Avenue in the US, Harvey Nichols in London, Le Bon Marché in Paris and Isetan in Tokyo.
Zanerobe has to be one of my favorite new brands! The guys behind the company are really cool and they have a great vision of style & character. I wanted to share with you guys a sneak at the Holiday Collection for your viewing pleasure. I love their shirts and their drop crotch pants.
About:
What started off as a bet over a beer between two friends has now become an internationally recognised label and a dream come true for friends Leith Testoni and Jonathan Yeo of premium menswear label ZANEROBE. When asked how ZANEROBE came to be, they recall seeing a guy dressed in a hideous striped shirt and Jono betting Leith, who originally had the more prominent interest in fashion, that he couldn’t design a better shirt. In Jono’s words ‘it was on’.
The unique name was a joint decision between the boys; ZANE from Leith’s longing to be called it as a kid, and ROBE as Jono’s reworking of the French word ‘garde robe’ (an old piece of French furniture that held clothing). In just over a week a business name was registered, logo developed and a 6-8 piece shirting collection designed and hawked to a select few boutique clothing stores in Sydney. Within 2 years, ZANEROBE were presenting full menswear collections and stocking top Australian doors such as David Jones.
Today, the name has become synonymous with strength and masculinity and their ranges are well known internationally for their point of difference, quality workmanship and clever, bold designs. In recent times, the label has transformed and embarked on an alternate journeys with their collection designs, paths that explore the realms and nuances of fashion through music and art – a defining moment for the label as popularity for collections intensified globally. Ten years in, ZANEROBE is hanging in the cream of stores including Australia’s David Jones, Japan’s Barneys, the USA’s Nieman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks and Bloomingdales.
Behind The scenes
I love the ASAP movement. They have great visuals. They bring me back to old hip hop days.

Before I touch down under earth I need to own a Polo Ralph Lauren leather bomber jacket. I see them every season but I just can’t bring myself to purchasing this piece. I find myself gawking at this dope piece every single time but I just need to buckle up and make this purchase. I am absolutely positive that after a few months of wearing this jacket it will look even better.
If you have more guts than I do you can purchase this jacket today from Mr. Porter.
$1500
