J.Crew Cotton-Linen Artisan’s Duffel Bag 2008-03-06 13:51:59 A certain cachet factor lies in products that age well. Somehow they justify the barrier of entry that oft lies in the price. The J.Crew Cotton

’s book is on a subject we find critical in men’s style, menswear. Don’t suppress your surprise please.

TAG Heuer Reflex 2007 2008-03-04 22:30:07 TAG Heuer’s foray into sunglasses has been sublime. Their approach towards, what they deem, avant-garde eyewear has fallen under the radar to many but overlooking their frames would be a shame. The Reflex

Harman Kardon GPS-810 Guide+Play Navigation System 2008-02-29 00:17:20 Factory car navigation systems are one of the last bastions of sheer profit motive in the car industry. Well, outside of repairs. $2,500-$3,000 for a crippled navigation system that’s outdated within a year. Seriously?
Take our advice, forego the factory nav and get a portable GPS

Maserati GranTurismo S 2008-02-28 00:56:21 [click on image to enlarge]
This car oozes. What does it ooze? It oozes sex appeal. It oozes sensuality that only the Italians could derive from a vehicle and it does it with an incredible amount of intimidating presence. We’ll stop with the ‘oozes’ now.

GP | Amazon Kindle In Depth Review 2008-02-28 00:34:43 First of all, we should talk about what the Amazon

Gears of War 2 Limited Edition 2008-02-26 23:01:03 Gears of War was reason enough to own an Xbox 360. The announced Gears of War 2 is more along the lines of a requirement.

Your Vegas - A Town And Two Cities 2008-03-12 00:30:38 There is something distinctly British about Your Vegas
. No, it’s not that their band members hail from Leeds but perhaps the convergent sound of a British alternative group meeting Nirvana then deciding to make songs as sweeping as U2.
The album is short. 3 songs. But all three songs are ear-catching, emotional and it’s almost like [...] Read more:Cities
