Postalco calfskin envelope: $465; Royall cologne: $25; Wood wristwatch: $75
I’ve got to admit that we’ve neglected any male readers we may have had the past several months. Of course, Brannan has been very busy with the shop’s site and hasn’t had any time to search out menswear type items. So today I’m linking to a few more guy friendly things, you know, if you’re into gender specific accessories. (Re: the cologne – My dad used to wear the Royall Lyme so this brings back childhood memories. The colognes are light and fresh and not overbearing. I despise perfumes, colognes, etc in general, but these get a pass from me! )Actually, all of these items are pretty much unisex, so hooray for that

Really loving these geometric shapes and prints pieces by Perks&Mini (PAM) from their Garden of Earthly Delights collection (Now I have that XTC song stuck in my head! Not that that’s a bad thing) all at their Someday store (lots of great stuff there)
American sportswear is so ubiquitous in the States that it’s hard to separate the vanilla connotations from the clothing, let alone make it appealing or progressive. In the case of NYC based Johanna Bloomfield, she deftly avoids the pitfalls with her Johannes Faktotum menswear line. Her pieces have a much-needed sophisticated appeal. A/W 2010 channels varsity jackets, preppy school sweaters, and football gear. I’ve posted looks from all three of her collections, but be sure to click over to see more (and click photo above to enlarge)
If you’re familiar with Salvor Projects you’re probably mostly thinking about their wallets and accessories, because that seems to be mostly what’s available from the brand in online boutiques. I was delighted to discover that Salvor offers much more than cool wallets and bags with unusual geometric prints. I’ve only posted a few items from various collections (click image below to enlarge) so be sure to click over to see more

So I’ve posted about Prose, Swash, and Vilsbøl de Arce recently and was happy to find that Ssaw, based out of Stuttgart, Germany, carries these lines and more. They have a nice, limited assemblage of items so you won’t be overwhelmed by too many choices. And guys – O.M.G.they have the Prose dress I’m nuts about (see above and click to enlarge)! Unfortunately, I’m a little tied up buying inventory for the Pour Porter shop, so I’ll just have to admire it from afar. They will ship internationally, although at the moment their delivery terms are all in German. Prices are in euros, and you’ll have to forgive me for being too lazy to do the conversions for you today
