@TheBkCircus 2012 Mens Fashion Preview...

dressyjackson — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:00:05 -0600

What I love about niche “labels” like Brooklyn Circus is the way they boldly communicate not only your personal taste but several of your “internal-perspectives” on life itself! How you may ask? Well…Brooklyn Circus in particular heralds such a respect and appreciation for more traditional early american Urbana!

Again…to don Brooklyn Circus is to BODLY proclaim your own hyper-sophisticated command of personal style and taste!

p.s. (due to BKC’s increasing exposure and it’s apparel’s very ltd. release quantities, the price point is considerable! Not only that but their releases seem to sell out in a week or so…so if you see something you can’t live without…don’t sleep or you’ll have to!!! BKC doesn’t go on sale…it sales out!!!)

Duckie Brown's Menswear for F/W 2012...

dressyjackson — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 09:00:05 -0600

I absolutely love the designs that Duckie Brown’s offering for this fall & winter season! I would without a doubt sport these trousers in each of these shots as well as the jackets sans the oversized plaid one!

Being I live in an at times extreme winter climate I’d presumably be extremely comfortable in these oversized wool/flannel trousers and jackets!

I hope a couple of these offerings will be reasonably accessible!? ($)

This Men's PRPS Leather Jkt.!!! SMH!

I mean really…how many Leather Jackets can I guy really want, have, and wear!!!??? Well…looking at this PRPS leather jacket in this super rich premium leather… The answer is at least ONE more!

Cuz it’s fashion week and another bites the dust!

Hmmm, I’m feeling a bit of deja vu…

Viola!

jusbinme — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:00:00 -0600

Have no Doubt, Viola Davis is not The Help! She is a two-time Tony award winner, a SAG award winner, and a two-time Oscar nominee. We should “recognize”!

I see there’s something a little new/different brewin’….

Note to Designers...It's COLD out here!!!

dressyjackson — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:00:05 -0600

Thanks so much for all of the “cute” Luxe Brand Fall/Winter Boot offerings…but keep in mind that in some parts of the country we actually do need some level of utility & functionality!!!

Shout-Out to Diemme, Timberland, Gorilla USA, & Moncler for fashionable, functional, and wearable works of art!

MONCLER...The "New" Big-Dog on the block!!!

dressyjackson — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:00:06 -0600

Late in the fall of 2011 I began to survey my fall/winter wares for the upcoming 2012 winter season and surmised that I had a couple of pair of black boots that would be better suited with a few black jackets…more specifically a “Black Puffer” jacket, coat, or vest which I had none of!?

So to google images I went…searching for the perfect compliment to my boot avails. I kept being “engaged” by the images of the “Moncler” brand black (& other color) puffers!!! It was blatantly evident that there was just an “it factor” that separated them from about ALL the other puffers I was coming across! The richness and depth of the blacks, the shine and sheen on the jackets, and the “modern-slim-non-geeky” form factor of the “puff”!?…

So I began to search the reputable stockists only to find that these several offerings were attainable at an entry price of about $525.00 at the low end!!! (Ruh-Roh!?!) All of the major luxury “box” department stores were also offering them at these entry price levels!

So of course to ebay I went only to find a “plethora” of international sellers offering all kinds of “Monclur” goods for a little more than $150.00!? You know what that means! So with Red-Flags raised I began to continue to make a diligent search…(no I still have not purchased/acquired one!!! LOL)

But…on a 2011 trip to Chicago I had a few extra moments before my flight home and had time to peruse the infamous RUSH St in downtown. Low and behold what do I find but a Moncler boutique!!! (insert racing/pounding heart here)…

I couldn’t even get inside the store without being awestruck and stopped in my tracks!!! I literally blindly reached for my phone to begin to snap a couple of pics for the blog!!!

Yes…”She” was the head of the Welcome-In committee for the Moncler Boutique! Really study her trappings which indeed are head to toe Moncler!!!

I honestly did the whole mouth wide open, slow 360 degree museum turn in the foyer! There was sooooo much to take in with an UNBELIEVABLE amount of conspicuous attention to detail!!! I didn’t know if I needed to go around the corner to US Bank and get an express loan real quick and come right back or ask for an application for propinquities sake!!!………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Oh…ok…I’m back…whew…let’s see…yeah so, I have NEVER been in a boutique that was so uniquely and meticulously presented!!! NEVER!!! No not once!!!

To me it made such a deliberate statement to some, and an indelible introduction to others of just who Moncler Is!!! (I respectfully put the “New” in the title in quotes being that this french born ski accessory company was founded in 1952 and is by no means “New” to Intl. cold weather gear enthusiasts!) but Moncler has gained significant popularity here in the US in 2011 and is sure to be one of the most coveted luxury-activewear staples from here on! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moncler

Gentleman…all I can say is don’t pass up a chance to visit an official Moncler Boutique! You will feel that the men’s space will transport you into an AVANTE-GARDE Aspen, CO winter country club lounge designed just for you with no expense spared!!!

…and finally…a little eye-candy for ya!

FYI…as with most all of my postings…I’ve waited until the end of the release season so as to acquire the end of season pieces (on sale that is) depicted that I wanted first! Hence…the live post…LOL Wink-Wink!

…Get There!

Recycling Taken to a Whole New Level?

jusbinme — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:00:00 -0600

After that Super Bowl party, don’t throw away the empties!

I knew you could wash your hair with it; guess you can roll it on up too. That said, I wouldn’t advise sitting under a dryer or trying to sleep with these.

Just sayin’…

A Basic Revisted...

jusbinme — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:00:05 -0600

There is nothing like a crisp white shirt. As I have stated in the past, it simply is a wardrobe staple; a real workhorse. When you find one that works, buy multiples.

Ralph Lauren Rugby Peacoat Project...

dressyjackson — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:02:05 -0600

Last summer I kind of took a particular liking to the Rugby division of Ralph Lauren’s mens offerings which sent me on an ebay run to survey said articles…I came across this Rugby Cotton Pea-Coat for a quarter of what they offer it for! According to the description it was a young lady “Un-Gifted” it from her former boyfriend…”Enters…Dressy-Jackson” LOL!

Once it arrived I was kinda like…eeehhhhhh….sigh….just not thrilled…pretty basic and somewhat bland…??? So I placed it on my “form” and just kinda stared at it for awhile…and let it stare at me for a couple of days until “Voila”!!! It lacked WOW factor! I began to think of what I’d would’ve done to give it some sort of spark…hence the simple yet HUGE alteration that has already garnered several compliments and studied stares on just its first and only outing so far this winter!!! Check it out!

Added Brass!

Then during the week of Jan 23rd 2012 Rugby releases new apparel and guess wha??? ”Designing Minds” think alike!?!?!??? (still like my smooth brass application better!)

Poppin' Tags... (Peter Millar Belt)

dressyjackson — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:00:05 -0600

Well time for me to update you from the November 16th 2011 Peter Millar Poppin-Tags teaser!

As I compile my Poppin-Tags articles for my posts I’m seeing that most of them are from Saks 5th Ave and of all places various Marshall’s stores!?!? yep…who’da thunk it!?

Anyway one of my most unbelievable finds was this Genuine Ostrich Peter Milllar belt (amazingly in my size!) from a Marshalls store!!!!

“Take that, Take that, Take that!!!!”

Polo RL Lambswool Swtr. Project Update...

dressyjackson — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 08:00:05 -0600

On November 21st of 2011 I posted a rare vintage Ralph Lauren mens lambs wool sweater that was an overseas release that I acquired…

#mce_temp_url#

I “eye-balled” it for sometime thinking that it was missing just a little something….??? and voila’

Now its just right! (may end up in the soon to come “Online-Shop”!!!

Ur, Ummm...

jusbinme — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:00:06 -0600

To quote Nancy Kerrigan, “WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????” This is a look that is reminiscent of trying to squeeze ones rump into a size too small pair of jeans. Just someone please tell me why anyone would ever wear these…

Poppin' Tags... (ralph lauren denim vest)

dressyjackson — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 08:00:06 -0600

Countless, Countless, and Endless applications for this one!

Worth its weight in gold! Well not really but ya’ know!
