Aris Allen have finally added a new mens shoe to their existing line. As dancers have seen, the white captoe is so very popular with male swing dancers the world over but I know a few guys  who have long wanted to see an all white shoe in a wingtip style  – and now here it is.

I ran across an article about the vendors at the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island and found a write up about Necks Tuesday. What a great name for a tie store!! Necks Tuesday are a New York maker of hand finished bow ties which come in silk, fine wools, cotton and cashmere and have a very sharp vintage look, unlike many modern bow ties.
I also like the fact that they are not too loud and come in more muted shades, which allows them to be worn with most of the suit and shirt colours you find in a modern man’s wardrobe. Great to see some nice vintage repro being made for men. Here are some of the ties available.

James Bond meets The Aviator, and oh how I love a man with wickedly slicked hair from a deep side part. Yes indeed…
I was looking through a bunch of old vintage shoe ads that I have collected over the years and have always wished that a pair of these, my favourite amazingly colourful shoes from the 1930s, would turn up on ebay. I have seen one or two pairs come up for auction in 12 years on ebay but they are so rare.
Then I came across these shoes by Prada from their summer collection, looking uncannily like the the shoes from the old Sears ad! They are a lot higher in the heel but definatley have a 1930s influence. Check them out!
