Great Finds from Two Unlikely Stores

Brandon Crittle — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:23:08 +0000

When you’re out shopping, you never know what you might.I won’t try and bore you with my story, but it’s a interesting one nonetheless.

Penguin Cashmere V-neck Sweater

I normally don’t like visiting stores like Ross because they’re too chaotic for me. Clothes lying everywhere. Barely any room to browse around. But I’m used to it now, so it at this point I just had to do what was necessary. So after I went to the Men’s Department, the first thing I thought about was finding at least one winter related item. The Jackets were okay but nothing really grabbed my attention. Jeans, while nice still didn’t scream “buy me”.

Sweater by Original Penguin

So I randomly walked over to my size section of the rack and what do I find? I nice yellow cashmere sweater. I picked it up, and if you could just imagine how incredible the fabric felt. It was a really nice v-neck sweater overall. The company who designed this particular sweat was noted fashion brand Penguin. Metrostylemen has talked about Penguin on numerous of occasions.

I was really surprised that it was only $20.00. It wasn’t until I got to the counter that I was really in for a shock. My relative asked about me about the original retail price. Which was $250.00. That’s a great deal if you ask me.

Captain America Tee

I’ve always seen collectible t-shirts around stores, but I’ve never had any of my own. The one-of-a-kind Captain America Tee by Next Level Apparel had a really unique design and it only cost me $4.00. It’s original price was $22.00 Not bad huh? I bought this shirt at Kohls.

So my lesson here today was never underestimate any store because there’s bound to be something there you like. Luck was on my side this past week and I couldn’t be more happier that I got two shirts for a great price.

The RUDSAK Man at Toronto Fashion Week

Brittany Dow — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:58:27 +0000

While covering LG Toronto Fashion Week I was disappointed by the lack of men’s style. There were a handful of stylish dudes in the audience but it was on the runways that were lacking.

And then there was the RUDSAK show and I quickly bit my tongue. These men were stylish, sexy, and exactly how I want men around me to dress!

If any man has any doubt about his style I would suggest turning to RUDSAK because they know what’s up.

Take a tip from any of these models and know that less is more. Simplicity with a touch of bright red will make any man stand out.

These red pants are pretty daring and I don’t recommend them to the faint at heart. None the less they look great with that beige jacket and the slim fit is very stylish. These could easily be dressed up or down!

RUDSAK is known in Canada for their great jackets. The quality is excellent and the designs are timeless. A purchase you would never get sick of.

This is also a company that specializes in great bags/totes and footwear. Although I didn’t get the best pictures of the models shoes I assure you that they were very laid back yet modern looking.

I love this bag!

Actually this whole outfit is awesome!

I was a bit worried for Canadian men’s fashion but RUDSAK saved the day. I hope to see men sporting these looks this coming Spring!

I would love to know what you think. Shoot me a comment with your thoughts, likes, or dislikes regarding RUDSAK’s Spring/Summer collection!

Yesterday evening, I had some free time to myself and while browsing the dress wear section at Dillards, I stopped by a grand selection of neck wear by Murano and Roundtree and Yorke respectively.
