Kiton F/W 2010

 Kiton is one of those brands that doesn't really need to answer to anyone. They do what they've done since 1968 (or 1956 if you count CI.PA.) Check it out for yourself....

SIMPLICITY.........

"Men try to build from trends as opposed to building on classic. First, you acquire classic [before] you can go to the edge a little. I look at an outfit as a music group. There is one lead singer and the rest are backups. You may see me in an outfit and one thing will stand out and the others take the backup positions."

NOT YOUR AVERAGE FOOTBALL GAME.........

 WELL AS ALOT OF YOU KNOW IN THE SOUTH, FOOTBALL RULES ALL AND IN ALABAMA, ITS ALL ABOUT AUBURN AND ALABAMA FOOTBALL.WE ARE ALSO KNOWN FOR HAVING THE #1 HBCU(HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES) KLASSIC IN THE U.S., NAME AFTER BIRMINGHAM'S NICKNAME "THE MAGIC CITY CLASSIC". UNLIKE SEC FOOTBALL, THIS FOOTBALL GAME IS ALL ABOUT THE PARADE, MARCHING BANDS(HALFTIME SHOWS), AND THE FASHION.THIS IS THE ONLY FOOTBALL GAME WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE AT THE GAME ARE WEARING FURS,DRESSES,SUITS,DRESS SHOES,HEELS, AND OTHER THINGS OF THIS NATURE....SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE A KOUPLE OF PICS FROM WHAT ME AND MY FRIENDS WORE.

The worst misconception of men who are considered fashionable is homosexuality. More men would entertain the notion of being well-dressed if they believed their manhood wouldn't be questioned.

3 AND A HALF MEN

 

Hi guys!I know its been a while since i've done a post,but i am back with a new found love! The 3/2 rolled norman hilton blazer. Alittle background on Mr. Hilton, known as Ralphie money man,Norman was one of the original men to create what we now know as the "off the rack suit".In 1966 Norman was hitting his stride. Orders were coming in like never before. The influence and renown of Norman Hilton Clothes had reached almost mythic proportions. It was the “in” thing, sold in every better respected shop in the country. The blazers have a higher 3/2 roll like many Hiltons did. The lapel roll is a true roll, not a foldover. Great narrow lapels, partially lined, lap seams, hook vent. Plus a removable throat latch with stowaway MOP buttons on the interior--fantastic!
