Malaysian Men's Style Faux Pas #3 - Still wearing the designer's label or tag on a suit jacket sleeve

This series of articles is to assist a whole lot of you out there. I am slowly coming out with stuff which you SHOULD NOT be doing as it is not how you should do things. Now notice that when you buy yourselves an off the rack new suit, sports jacket or a blazer you would notice that it comes with a lot of things that you should need to remove before you wear it.

How things (do not) last: TUMI card holder with money clip

This is my TUMI cardholder with money clip that I had used almost every day since I purchased it at the Johor Premium Outlet sometime in December 2011. I think I bought it first time visiting JPO. It had just opened and TUMI was one of the first who opened up shop there.

A good article on receiving a compliment

Spending some time to look presentable actually pays off for me. Most of you are aware in sunny and always summer Malaysia almosts everyone dresses very, very casually. I have been getting a fair bit of compliments just because I wore a decent pair or shoes or the shirt was properly tucked in. When you start with the suits, ties, blazers with pocket squares things get even more interesting. 

Change in distributors for BELL & ROSS watches in Asia and the Middle East

Not my usual posting but I just wanted to share this press release about BELL & ROSS watches. New distributors in Asia and the Middle East for the brand. But instead of a real change, it would seem that B & R are going to do it by themselves and not through any distributors. 

Do read the press release below for more information.

Reality vs expectation - Cream Crackers and a Panerai

This here is a pic of my friend's wrist on which is attached a Panerai Luminor (PAM112). Usually when we look at photographs of expensive watches we see them pictured in exotic locales or together with the steering wheel of a luxury car or on the wrist of someone beautiful. . 

No WWII Italian frogmen or Arnold Schwarzenegger or any of The Expendables close by. Or caviar and other exotic food for that matter. 

A messy desk with a calculator and a laptop. Some cream crackers and a cup or coffee to dunk them crackers in. Reality is much simpler actually. The watch still looks good though.

Bresciani Socks here in Kuala Lumpur

I have written about the benefits of wearing above the calf length socks before and you know that it is actually hard to easily find them here in Kuala Lumpur. Usually you have to see if the local Paul Smith boutique has them in stock or you have to ask around as the various designer boutiques whether they keep them in stock. They usually don't. Sometimes, Plal Store in Petaling Jaya keeps some wool mix ones in stock. But they aren't that dressy - a little thick and more suited for winter (Plal usually sells them in their winter wear department and not at their shoe department).
