A Thanksgiving Treat
Since it's Thanksgiving I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes with my readers.Several years ago a crazy ex-girlfriend of mine gave me a Williams - Sonoma "Savoring Italy" cookbook (available at Amazon.com here)(what?...of course she was crazy!..and my behavior had absolutely nothing to do with it...true story)

Barker Black on Gilt
Yesterday, the Gilt Group started its annual pre-Thanksgiving Day "Men's Final Sale". Over 50 brands are featured at up to 90% off.I was lucky enough to pick up 2 pair of shoes from Barker Black. I spotted the Wallace X Lace Up during a recent trip to the Barker Black store in New York city but I couldn't bring myself to drop the $800 required to leave the store with them (legally).

Ra-Re (or "Rare" if you're not Italian...)
There are a ton of what most would call "denim" brands out there and many of them excel at what they do because of a very clear focus on this utilitarian garment. Brands like, 7 for all Mankind, Joe, Paper Denim, etc. are just a few of the denim brands that continue to innovate in this space.For me, however, it starts to get interesting when, what we would call, a "denim brand" starts to branch out from bottoms to have a much broader point of view. Brand like G-Star, Diesel and more recently Rock & Republic have done this very well.

Velvet Footprints
Originally made popular with English aristocracy (and made timeless by Hugh Hefner....I'll let you decide who you'd like to emulate) the Velvet Slipper has never really caught on in the US. Outside of the occasional tuxedo pairing by the most confidently stylish gentlemen, this is a shoe that most men admire from afar simple because they don't know what to do with it.
