The lean toward retro style may have made the wearing of neckties - both for business and casual - cool again, but these ties from
Miss Feeney's Finery also take those gentlemanly ideals of the 40's and 50's and add a bit of present day guy rebellion...
Hidden on the back of every one of their 100% premium silk, hand sewn ties, is a limited edition, hand-drawn, pin-up girl. Each one designed to fit perfectly with the tie that hides her.
And not only do you get to pick the color and pattern that best suits your personal style, you also get to choose which special lady will be spending the workday with you. Or joining you on your date this weekend.

Unless you've been living in a cave (or have been busy waiting for the friggin' Giants to win another game), you know that retro is the big word in style right now. And as I've said more than once, the men of AMC's
Mad Men are partly responsible for bringing this resurgence of slicked hair and skinny ties.
Which is fine with me because, besides my Rat Pack obsession, I think it's about time to retire the whole bed head and untucked look, and get back to showing some class. Not for nothing, but I doubt we'd have ever seen Frank and Dino out on the town, martinis in hand, in sneakers and wrinkled shirts, looking like they just woke up.
So to help you get that classic look, I'm giving away an AXE Hair and Mad Men Classic Look Kit. Inside the oversized, highly-polished wood cigar box, you'll find:
- AXE Itch Relief 2 in 1 Cooling Anti-Dandruff Shampoo + Conditioner (even if you don't have the flakes, you'll dig the menthol buzz)
- AXE Smooth & Sophisticated Look Shine Pomade for getting that wet look
- A shoe shine kit to give your dogs a mirror finish
- A box of mints to keep you "this close" fresh when chatting up the skirts
- A skinny, black Brooks Brothers tie to make any day at the office a Mad Men day (afternoon cocktails not included.)
- And the entire Season One of Mad Men on DVD
All you need to do to score the kit is

There have been a few important innovations in men's underwear the last few decades: The elastic waistband. The boxer brief. The removal of that annoying tag from the back. And now, I give you the sack sack.
Actually the latest design innovation from (appropriately named)
Saxx Apparel is officially called The Comfort Side Panels. They're a pair of ultra-thin mesh panels that run on either side of your boys, creating a breathable, hammock-like pouch that keeps your package from rubbing against your legs all day. Which lets you stay cool and dry, while providing support and improving comfort. A welcome relief to active guys who are susceptible to the dreaded crotch rot. (Yeah, that's a medical term.)
Saxx come in several styles: Trunk, Boxer Brief, Long Leg and Long Johns. (Notice there are no bikini briefs... lets keep it that way.) And they're offered in three different fabrics, depending on your sack comfort needs. There's Everyday, made of 95% cotton and 5% Spandex for daily comfort; Performance, with moisture wicking fabric for extra dry-balledness; and Bamboo.
I know what you're thinking: "Isn't bamboo sharp, pointy, and made into bad Kung-Fu movie weapons? I don't want that anywhere near my manliness." But if you've ever worn anything made with this incredible fabric, you know it's super soft and lightweight, and Saxx adds a moisture wicking and anti-microbial finish for extra ball care. I'm wearing a pair of Bamboo boxer briefs right now as I type this. And Little BG has never been happier.
As an added bonus, for the entire month of November, Saxx will donate $1 from every pair sold to the
Movember Foundation, to help with the fight against prostate cancer. So not only are they providing comfort for our junk, they're helping protect them too.
To grab a pair, head over to
SaxxApparel.com. They start at $23.99, which is a small price to pay for keeping the boys happy.
