This one is for my wife and could have also been titled, ‘haters gonna hate.’ Yesterday, I woke to temps below 40F (which is borderline arctic for me) but wanted to make sure I was dressed properly for worship. I do not have a large overcoat (for a number of reasons but none relevant to…

Since he hasn’t quite figured out how to subscribe to RSS yet, I figure it won’t hurt to throw up a picture or two of my son’s birthday presents before he opens them this Saturday. Mostly because of the fact that I have issues, it took me a while to find just the right pairs…
As I look over the entries for today, I realize I must be in the mood for chopping some wood or building something awesome with my hands. Both of which I do regularly. Could also be my subconscious recognition that I might be ready for fall. I’m definitely ready for the temperature to fall below…
Since the skin has melted off the majority of the people in the US by now, I figured it time to throw up some things to help you cover up your soon-to-be scarred bodies. A random mix of things I *need to have in my closet by day’s end. Warby Parker Sunglasses – Thatcher (Greystone)…
It’s about time to continue my list of personal style rules. The feedback from my last round was both enlightening and entertaining. Some for and some against my rules but all good conversation nonetheless. Once again, I’m open and encouraged by your feedback and am also be interested in seeing your rules/lists as well. I…
Imagine my surprise come Christmas morning when I unwrapped a book that had been out of print for almost 40 years. I had indeed looked into purchasing a used copy of it before but the $200-$400 price tag left me empty handed. Thankfully, my waning desire to track one down, led to my lack of…
Spring has almost sprung. Yes, I realize that most of those to the north of me are still experiencing brutally cold weather, nice changes are in effect in my neighborhood including a nice string of lower 70°F days. Now is the time to be on the look for winter sale items since stores are stocking…
While I’ve never put pen to paper with it, I do have a mental list of rules I go through when deciding what to purchase or wear. I have to remind myself regularly that the things that grace AFT are all personal style choices and each of you has your own take. With that said,…
It’s been a minute since I’ve thrown out some new pieces. I intended to do a personal AFT of things I was gifted for Christmas but it hasn’t happened yet. To ease back into it, here’s a few random pieces that should work well for any male. HELM Ray Ray Boots – $395 Two things…

As my list of things in life that I want to learn to do grows, my time to accomplish each task dwindles. Learning to sketch obviously has a higher chance of happening than my most recent scheme, learning to design and create my own clothes. My desire to do so stems more from a chance…
Get your summer swagger back with an addition or two to your closet. Though when the temperature is tipping the scale at nearly 100F, long sleeves are hard to imagine. Nobody said looking good was easy. Brooklyn Tailors – Light Blue Twill Dress Shirt I just recently found out about Brooklyn Tailors and I’m already…
This might seem like a bit of a cop-out, but sartorially, you will learn heaps more about style from JFK than I could ever teach. Brilliant. How to Dress Like: John F. Kennedy (via Debonair Magazine)
If there is a definition of style, this guy has it. Every image today is of the same guy and he isn’t modeling a designer’s collection. Follow his lead. And yes, I am about to steal the idea of a safety pin for a tie tac. Genius.
So these don’t come as quickly as I’d like but I haven’t lost interest in getting them out from time to time. This week’s AFT is powered by Urban Outfitters. I’ve never actually purchased anything from one but could see myself spending a few dollars there if I happened to stumble into a store. The…
With what’s happening in Haiti right now, it isn’t fitting to put up a post with a bunch of overpriced material goods. Maybe next week.
