I like simple, classic pocket t-shirts, and these Dickies ones have been a staple in my wardrobe for years. I wear glasses and sunglasses so I actually do use the pocket daily. These are the heavy-weight version because I just prefer the way it wears...

Chinos are a classic staple in a man’s wardrobe. I have these Volcom chinos in olive and tan and they are always in my weekly rotation. Well constructed and comfortable. I roll the cuffs but not as much as the image shows. I only do two rolls. 🤙🏼

Vans. I shoe I have been wearing since childhood. Growing up as a skater and a drummer in punk and ska bands, these shoes have been on my feet for over 30yrs. I love the classic design and honestly these Authentic’s work just as well in the office a...

New Balance 480. I have these in the blue suede. Love them! Comfortable and durable. I wanted something like the Nike Dunk, but Dunks don’t really fit “my style”. I have however a long standing fondness for New Balance shoes. So these fit the bill pe...

Two things about this watch. First is that it’s an automatic so I never have to buy a battery. Second, it’s a classic look. Yes, it looks like a Rolex…and I guess that half the point. A great watch that functions and even looks similar to a $10k watc...

Similar, but different. Lol, as a man with several watches. This is another that gets regular wear. It’s an automatic movement so no batteries, and super simple to swap bands. I have worn this watch in the pool, ocean and well (if you saw my other In...

My son bought me this handmade wallet for fathers day and I love it! I have another larger wallet that is great too, but I needed something smaller for times when size makes a difference. This wallet is handmade in the USA and the brass snap a great ...

Having multiple watches also means I have multiple watch bands. It’s the easiest way to switch up the look of a watch and bring some variety to your collection. This leather nato strap is soft on the wrist and easy on the wallet. Plus it can take the...

Leather racing strap with quick release for easy changing?? Yup! I’ve had this strap now for around 4 years and it looks great on every watch I own. It gives a classic motor racing vibe when it’s on my Pagani Designs Moonwatch homage chronograph. 🤙�...

This denim jacket get a lot of wear. A classic look with chinos, or darker denim. Cuff the ends of the sleeves for a more tailored look or not, your call. A light wash jean jacket is great for cool spring summer evenings, or for layering in the fall....

I have always loved these as an alternative the the original Aviator style from RayBan. Still stylish, but they give a different vibe with out the gold rim and sides. Cant go wrong with a good pair of shades for any time the sun is shining. **I would...

Yyou can (almost) never have too many pairs of sunglasses. They help your eyes, and elevate you look. These Clubmasters have been in my collection for over 10 years. Great for guys with rounder face shapes. 🤙🏼

A classic looking shirt to help you stay cool on these hot summer days. This one from J.Crew is great. Wear this with some shorts or even swim trunks to stay cool and look put together while at the beach, pool or even on vacation! I love the breathab...

I am a sucker for a pocket, and this pull-over sweatshirt is great! This green is shown, but the blue is in my closet. Honestly cant go wrong with a simple crew neck pull over from a brand that you know makes things that last for year to come. 🤙🏼

The perfect mix of throwback style and modern comfort I’ve been living in these Saucony Shadow 5000s lately, and let me tell you, they’re way more than just a good-looking sneaker. They’ve got this cool retro vibe (think late ‘80s runner), but feel l...

At 45, my style leans classic, but I still like a little edge. That’s why I grabbed the Vans Premium Authentic Harris Tweed. They’ve got the timeless Vans silhouette I grew up skating in, but the Harris Tweed fabric adds a sharp, heritage look that p...
