How to Fold a Pocketsquare

Classic, simple and to the point. After all there is a reason why it's called a pocket-"square".

My First Levi's

Everyone knows that Levi's is known for their long history of making jeans (since 1873 to be exact) and I think it's especially great that they make affordable quality jeans in the age of $300+ denim. I personally have heard a lot from people about how much they love their Levi's (in particular the overhyped and gigantic 501 model) and have been on the hunt for a pair. I have tried on countless pairs of Levi's and have yet to find a pair ... until today!

It's a pair of blue Levi's Skinny 511 Skyscaper. I like the classic blue wash and the fit is great - fitted but not severely skinny, similar to Nudie Slim Jim. If you want the super skinny fit, you want to check out their 510 model. Considering that Levi's is mass brand, I was amazed that I had go a size bigger in the waist than normally. I have been wearing them since I got home today and I am already thinking about getting them in other colours (gray, black, raw denim, cords, etc.) Okay, maybe I should wear these new ones for a bit first :-)

The Fluctuating Waistline

Do you ever wonder why pants size is never the same as you try on pants from different brands? The good people at Esquire was nice enough to look into this and measure the actual waistline of pants from some of the most popular brands in North America. The worst offender is Old Navy whose size 36 pants measure a whopping 41". So if you shop at Old Navy or one the other don't-know-how-to-work-a-measure-tape brands and think you know your size, THINK AGAIN!

Notice how the more "generous" brands are also often the more popular brands among the general public.
