"cat gentlemen"

Yeah, I'll call myself a "cat lady" if that means I'm in the same company as these feline lovin' macho men...

"This is Not a Polo Shirt"

via Highsnobiety

Of course "Band of Outsiders" is nodding to Magritte's famous work, "This is not a pipe," in the naming of their line of polo shirts for men, but I think their best selling strategy is to continue to post to their website classic and fun images of polo shirts in action:

(Please note that I've taken liberties in the naming of these images because, well, because I guess I can).


The 40s Dancing Polo:




The 80s Painting Polo:



The Angry Man's Polo:


The Angsty Boy's Polo:



The Blue Jeaned Dad Polo:




The Blue Blooded Dad Polo:



The Over-Grown Kid Polo (with ironic half popped collar):



The Under-Grown Kid Polo (with earnest fully popped collar):



{all images found on "This is not a polo shirt"}

P.S. For those of you with wicked crushes on Jason Schwartzman (I'm looking at you, Bootsie!) - how cute are these images of the actor on the "Band of Outsiders" regular website?

Thursday, a manly closet, and Etsy

"A Closet Without Pretense" by dembree


My boyfriend is in the process of cleaning out his closet and so I dedicate this etsy-designed closet to him (now let's see if he picks up any of these lovely... urr... very manly finds!)


Of course, no wire hangers - just vintage, French, or wooden (something all men want, right?):

The gents love their shoes too and this handmade Maple Storage Bench, by AbleandBaker, is the perfect place to store 'em (the shoes, not the fellas):



Of course a vintage shoe valet filled with brushes and polish, via valnorthwoods, belongs in the distinguished man's closet as well:


No silly baskets or bins for a man's winter sweaters. Better to go the vintage suitcase route especially if you have ones as cool as this blue-green set via OleaVintage:


And hanging in the closet, what fella wouldn't love the clean smell wafting from this set of three Provence lavender-filled sachets by auntierumpos?:



And if there's room (or, miracle of miracles, it's a walk-in-closet!) - how about a display of vintage (and a few wearable!) hats? Men are so darling in hats - why is it that they don't seem to believe that?

And because men tend not to be super organized, I bet this uncut pattern of closet accessories from the 1970s (via GreatScott) would be a big help:



And for all those all those wonderful ties, this Galloping Deer Wooden Tie Rack via ButlerandMaid is a must:



And, finally, who wouldn't love this Horse Shoe Hanging Rack via WhiteWillowVintage? It would make hanging things up such a delight!




P.S. The bf took a look at my finds - apparently still too girly... I guess I still have some work to do on him!
