Some new graphics coming up with Miles Davis based themes…meanwhile you can still get this Limited Ed. t-shirt here.

Of the ways to wear a suit without a necktie in cool weather, perhaps the best of a poor set of choices is the roll neck sweater or jumper, where the collar provides a visual anchor that serves some of the necktie’s function.

Single ply cashmere (two ply wears warm under a jacket) plays the best lead in the role of a necktie substitute, though the good stuff - either Scottish or Italian - is as dear as several neckties. Merino wool is a reasonable substitute with most of the hand for a fraction of the cost. Either way, choose a color that picks up a secondary color in the suit, as the sweater picks up the suit stripes in the photo….- as seen on ASW.

I love this guys graphic work…I have been inspired on many occasions by this work. See the full run-down at TYPO-GRAPHICAL.

“Take most people, they’re crazy about cars.  They worry if they get a little scratch on them, and they’re always talking about how many miles they get to a gallon, and if they get a brand-new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that’s even newer.  I don’t even like old cars.  I mean they don’t even interest me.  I’d rather have a goddam horse.  A horse is at least human, for God’s sake.”  ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 17, spoken by the character Holden Caulfield.

Don’t ever tell anybody anything.

“That’s the whole trouble. You can’t ever find a place that’s nice and peaceful, because there isn’t any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you’re not looking, somebody’ll sneak up and write “Fuck you” right under your nose.” -J.D. Salinger.

In a nod to President Obama’s Samurai spirit on display during tonight’s state of the union address, I share with you a nugget from my personal collection of Marc Oldens “Black Samurai”. Time to pick them up, dust’em off and read them again. Keep up the Samurai spirit Obama! Hopefully you can cut through the bullshit and spin like Rashomon - enjoy.

We received this sponsor me vid today from Eric, pretty smooth, what do y’all think?
