I love it. The fabric feels tough as shit, finishings are spot on, and the bag holds its frame whether or not it’s filled. #MAKR

Move Over Topman, Say Hi To Everlane
Really sick of expensive, shitty, low-quality basic Topman t-shirts. They really aren’t paying me for saying this, but thank you Everlane for coming to my rescue.
The link to Everlane above is my referral link, and I’ll only get $20 in store-credit if you make a purchase. Well, if you’re going to anyway, why not help me out? Hehe.
The Essential Gentleman
Tom Ford’s Essentials
My poor man’s take on the Tom Ford’s Essentials
1. The perfect pair of dark denim jeansA pair of unwashed 8 month old organic dry selvage Grim Tim Nudies. I should probably wash them soon.
2. A sense of humour
I would like to think of myself as humorous, but I think there’s definitely more work to be done.
3. A daily read of an intelligent online newspaper
I don’t know what qualifies as an intelligent daily read, but there are a couple of tech blogs and other sites that I read on a daily basis, so I guess that counts.
4. Good manners
I think I have these
5. A nail clipper
Definitely.
6. Tweezers
I have a few. I love the one from Tweezerman though. The tips are nicely balanced and sanded so it’s really accurate.
7. Magnifying mirror
I used to have one, but it broke. Time to get another. Having one is really useful though, especially for tweezing facial hair.
8. Beautiful toothbrush
Why on earth would you need a beautiful toothbrush? I use regular ones from the supermarket.
9. Bottle of mouthwash
I have one, but rarely use it because I find it too harsh on the mouth. Only used in emergencies.
10. A good cologne that becomes a signature
I used Polo Blue for 6 years, and loved it. I’m currently switching back and forth between that and Davidoff’s Cool Water.
11. A well-cut dark suit
Got mine tailored in Bangkok.
12. A pair of classic black lace-up shoes
I’m currently wearing in a cheap pair from Aldo.
13. Black loafers
Don’t have a pair, but I have a pair of really dark navy blue ones that might be able to double up as black loafers.
14. Blazer
I swear by a multi-purpose navy blue blazer. But I’ve been meaning to get a sports jacket for the longest time. The weather in Singapore isn’t exactly very forgiving, so wearing blazers can be very punishing.
15. Lots of crisp white cotton shirts
I love crisp white cotton shirts. Unfortunately, they’re expensive. And I don’t really see a need to have so many of them. Unless of course I wear them on a daily basis, which I don’t. That said, I do have a few and my favourite is the one tailored from Tailor on Ten in Bangkok.
16. Always new socks and underwear
I have a good supply of underwear because I can bathe up to 5 times a day, and changing of my underwear is really important. But I don’t really have a good supply of socks, partly also because they’re expensive. Time to get new ones.
MAKR Farm Messenger Bag
One of the bags from one of my favourite brands of all time went on sale today. I couldn’t not buy it.
It’s also actually my first time using vPost to ship stuff from the United States to Singapore, where I am. Can’t wait for the bag to arrive.
Finally Got Them Nike Flyknit Lunar 1s
After many months of deliberation and exercising restraint, I caved. But I’m really happy and can’t wait to take them for a test run.
