Ermenegildo Zegna Touch Screen Gloves

zegna.jpg

Touch Screen gloves are a dime a dozen these days and most in our opinion don't make the grade when it comes to materials and design. Ermenegildo Zegna fixes this with its own dose of Italian luxury crafting their gloves out of supple deer and Nappa leather and in a classic look that will be a long-lasting staple in any man's wardrobe. Available today in all Zegna boutiques worldwide. Ermenegildo Zegna

I usually don't don't blog food….



Sure you could just have someone cut you open and slather your insides with a thin lard coating, but what’s the fun in that? If we’re going to be going heavy on some fat, we’re going to enjoy the hell out of it. Namely, we’ll be slathering a healthy serving of Empire Mayonnaise Company’s Bacon Mayonnaise on our next sandwich. Combining two of our favorite food groups (the bacon and mayonnaise groups) into one delicious condiment, Empire crafts their Bacon Mayo from pasteurized local egg yolks, Heritage Smoked Bacon, some non-GMO canola and a bit of flavoring to produce the world’s greatest sandwich spread thing.

Ready to take on the CLS AMG and Audi's S7, the M6 Gran Coupe packs a massive punch with a V8 TwinPower Turbo that packs 560 hp and a 0-62 time of just 4.2 seconds. All that performance is accelerated by a sophisticated engine architecture that contains twin-scroll turbochargers, high precision direct gas injection, a cross-bank exhaust manifold that all contribute to the car's electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph, but of course with the M Driver's Package you'll top out at 189 mph. €128,800, BMW

The Hill-Side | Old Virginia Modified Herringbone



Brothers Sandy and Emil Corsillo started The Hill-Side in 2009 with the simple idea of incorporating selvage fabrics into neckties, pocket squares and other accessories. It was, I’m guessing, one of those “why didn’t I think of that” moments for a lot of people. A great idea that received a tremendous response. What began as a simple idea to put a spin on accessories, has since evolved into a bigger operation for the brothers Corsillo, a mini-menswear-empire that now includes a helluva lot of wholesale distribution (The Hill-Side is the brand I most consistently see in good shops around the world, that’s no exaggeration) an online store and the well-respected Brooklyn retail outpost Hickoree’s.

What started as an idea rooted in interesting fabrics has grown from that original concept, and it has at the same time remained focused on it. Earlier this year Hickoree’s teamed with a host of different men’s brands to produce a fifty item collaboration collection that incorporated dozens of fabrics from The Hill-Side. The emphasis on interesting fabric continues today with The Hill-Side’s special new collection of Old Virginia Modified Herringbone accessories. Made in the moonshine producing countryside of rural Virginia by a sixth generation weaver named Bob on an old loom, the collection continues The Hill-Side’s tradition of incorporating interesting and artisanal elements into its quirky offerings.

Breitling Transocean Day & Date

This one surfaced a little late on our radar, but its still definitely worth noting. The already perfect non-chrono version of the Transocean gets a nice little update with a new Day & Date model. The new day function is an elegant update that perfectly complements the watch's timeless styling. Now if they'd only add an in-house movement. Breitling

The Thursday Cocktail Recipe...

alice baton

Blackberry Passionfruit Mojito
1 pint blackberries
1 bottle Mount Gay Silver rum (my homeland)
1 cup Jamaican rum
1 cup mint simple syrup 
1 cup passion fruit syrup
1/2 bunch of mint
0.75 liter seltzer water
1 cup lime juice

1 | Transfer the rum to a large mason jar, along with half of the blueberries and 10 mint leaves. Muddle the berries and leaves, seal, and allow to sit for 24-48 hours. Shake regularly.

2 | Fill a large round bowl (smaller than the bowl you will be serving from) with boiled water. Freeze. This will take at least 12 hours in most freezers, so leave time.

3 | Strain rum into a large pitcher to remove solids. Add passion fruit, lime juice and seltzer and stir well. Add additional passion fruit to taste.

4 | Get the ice bowl from the freezer and dip into hot water to release. Place it in the serving bowl. Toss in the remaining blackberries and 20 or so mint leaves. Pour the punch in, and enjoy!

Etiquette Clothiers


Drop subtle, or not so subtle hints of your inner personality with Mid-Calf Socks ($60). Made in Italy from 30/1 Italian combed cotton with a perfect toe seaming — they’re a luxury your feet and style commentators are bound to appreciate. At $20 a pop, though, we’d suggest letting them loose only on special occasions. You’re upcoming Tough Mudder run doesn’t count.

Terrain Bocce Ball Set


Bocce is right up there with table shuffleboard on the underrated sports list. In truth, the game is just as enjoyable as horseshoes, but can be enjoyed without the necessity of pits, a hammer and the danger of dinging a child with a heavy metal object. The Terrain Bocce Ball Set ($298) is a beautiful take on the classic game; anyone can throw a ball at another ball, and everyone will appreciate the pleasant spring colors. In case you forget the rules (but seriously, it’s not that hard), game instructions are printed on the set’s cloth bag. We don’t suggest breaking them out in the snow, but come May, they’ll be waiting for you, along with that mint julep and shorts.

When Airstream calls their latest concept a "Land Yacht", it would only be right to team up with the best in the business. They've called upon Tecnoform and Riva Yachts designer Mauro Micheli to create a plush and incredibly luxurious interior that's surrounded in teak and white-wood. The Land Yacht will be able to sleep five people and features a front bedroom, bathroom, and rear "social space." It also sports three remote-controlled power awnings and a silent ducted air system to keep the cabin cool. Airstream
