WatchAnother great video from the www.putthison.com video series. This one about shoes, which are often misunderstood by men. Please check out the site at www.putthison.com as it is very rare to find such high-quality videos about mens fashion and these guys deserve to be recognized so they can keep creating more.

What's Next For Mr. Sartorial?
Hey everyone, so that wraps up my little series on authenticity. Next up I’m going to start getting into the clothes of spring as it is now a balmy (for Alberta) 24 degrees celsius here and everyone should have spring and swimming and skirts on their mind.
As for guys, we need something to wear when the heat is on too, so I’m going to take some time to thoroughly explore the options....

Why does Authenticity Matter?: Counterfeit Fashion
This is the third segment of my three-segment exploration of authenticity inspired by “The Great Pretenders” exhibit put on by the Human Ecology students at the University of Alberta.
It’s well known to pretty much anyone that pays attention to fashion that counterfeiting is a huge concern for the biggest luxury labels. They spend thousands on marketing and making world class products, and...

Fashioning Authenticity Part 2: Is the Hudson's...
This is part two of the second segment of my three-segment exploration of authenticity inspired by “The Great Pretenders” exhibit put on by the Human Ecology students at the University of Alberta. I’ve split this segment into two parts because there’s a little more I wanted to explore about cultural authenticity in fashion.
I can hardly mention the authenticity of any Canadian product without...

I’ve split this segment into two parts because there’s a little more I want to explore about cultural authenticity in fashion.
I want to discuss this by using Dsquared as an example. This...

Following up my comments last week on the importance of buying second hand in finding inexpensive fashion pieces, GQ has put up this great list that probably won’t be applicable to everyone, but gives a good idea of what the second-hand circuit is like.

The Body as Artifact: Styling the Masculine...
I started this blog with the idea of not just posting some cool photos of well-dressed guys (Although I will be doing more of that soon), but also exploring the changing face of masculinity, particularly in how men dress and express themselves. It’s a subject that I find very interesting because we live in a society that has well-defined concepts of masculinity and femininity, but on a...

A Quick Mr. Sartorial Update
Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to post last night because I was occupied at the last night of Western Canada Fashion Week. However, I did move the blog over to its new home here at mrsartorial.com. I am going to try out some new ways of making the blog a better place to check out thoughts on masculinity and gentlemanly behaviour, and style photos of men. Keep your eyes on the site and...

The Lazy Man and Sartorial Style
This week I’ve been identifying objections men have to putting more effort into their appearance. So far I’ve covered 1) Not being the right build to look fashionable and 2) Overcoming the perceived high cost of living with style.
Today I’m going to address perhaps the most common obstacle that men need to overcome in dressing at a higher level: Time.
Now, I’ve already...

High Style at a Low Price
I suppose that I have inadvertently come across a theme for this article and the next one I write. After yesterday’s post describing how to overcome body type in dressing stylishly, I want to address the two other primary objections men have to being well turned out. Today, I’ll have a look at the cost of style and describe ways to look good at a better price. Within the next couple of...

WCFW: Night 1
Up this morning after being out at Western Canada Fashion Week in Edmonton last night. I’m not necessarily disappointed, but I think there are lots of area for improvement that will maybe come with more growth of the event.
For the first real night of the event, they should have put on more of a party. I know that they had the Phabrik Magazine release just a couple of (three?) weeks ago,...
