Holdall & Co - Get Organized!

So first and foremost, a quick tip of the hat to the Fantastic Mr. Grey Fox for pointing these nifty folios out.  I have, to some extent, lead an "unexamined life".  To this end I am forever schlepping around the Halls of BaselWorld with too much stuff.  A desperate need to carry a full bag over my shoulder jammed with a ton of things I never end up using.

Where has this been all my life?!?

This is from Holdall & Co.  A vintage inspired blast of fresh air from a nice group of people in England making authentic, handmade folios!  Big enough to hold a magazine, your pocket journal, may a pen case.  Not so big that you are tempted to fill it up to the top!

Elegant, simple, and organized - which frankly is how I would really like to be thought of when hobnobbing with the watch cognoscenti!

Available in London Tan as pictured above, or in Chestnut -

Available in 12 inch or 14 inch sizes.  Once again the Grey Fox points the way!

Something Good to Read - Grey Fox!

As I was laying in bed this morning wondering what the hell I was going to write about, I came upon what I think is one of THE COOLEST men's fashion blogs I've seen in some time -

Grey Fox

The summary from the author is:

About

I started Grey Fox in December 2011. As an older man, by which I mean over forty, it becomes increasingly difficult to decide what to wear and how to dress. This fashion and style blog is my response.

The fashion industry is blind to a large, affluent market - middle-aged men. It advertises and sells mainly to men under forty; how often do you see images of older men in fashion advertisements? So, we must find our own way; this blog describes my journey to find a style of my own. It's therefore a personal blog, reflecting my tastes and attitudes. Please let me have your views, but respect mine.

I have no background in fashion. I practised law and then taught. I have no idea why I'm doing this, but I enjoy writing and exploring the new world this blog has opened up.

Being a Northern Youth of a certain age (i.e. over 40), I have to say that this speaks to me!

So, fellas - check it out!
