Lanvin : Frayed Jacket

Spotted this Lanvin frayed jacket at ssense.com and totally love it! Its basically a long sleeve nylon jacket constructed with a notched lapel collar accompanied by zip and button tab fastenings. There is epaulet on the shoulders and you know what? Im a sucker for these details!

As the name suggests, its a frayed jacket at the edges. Definitely a stylish nylon jacket not to be missed. A fine piece made in Italy. Lanvin for The Manly.

Dior Homme duffle bag

Hmmm saw this delicious bag all the time, every time, almost anytime when I walk past ION's DH boutique. I do admit that the bags that DH produce was way cooler back when Heidi was around. However, if you were to see this bag in person, its actually pretty sleek and stylish. It has got its own character. My friend had a great fetish for leather, just like me. I have already own a number of leather bags and haven't really have enough of sling bags, at least not enough to rotate around the month for now. Heeheehee...

Oh well, The Manly reckons this as one of his wish list and might even give a it shot once I made up my mind on it. Oh and I think they are running low on stock! 

BOIS D'ARGENT cologne by Christian Dior

Have you visited any Dior Homme boutiques so far in your life before? All I must say I have loved Dior Homme since Heidi's time as creative director of the house. This cologne was one of the fragrances that  I bought whenever I shop at any of the DH boutiques. I haven't seen any of these around other that the DH boutiques. It has a very nice refreshing scent, almost like you just came out of the bathroom. To me this musky feeling is very seductive. My ex girlfriend actually loves it whenever she comes near my neck. It completely left her defenseless. 

Anyway, my current combination would be YSL, Dior Homme and Ermenegildo Zegna. But as a cologne, the BOIS D'ARGENT is doing a fine job. One Manly cologne indeed.

Nooka shades

Ok I am seriously not a Nooka fan but this pair of shades caught my attention the other day when I went shopping with my pal, Paulson. Had to try it on. The black pair, known as "Mercury" was one of my favorite. Here's a picture I tried with the new model. In fact the neon range actually glows in the dark. Not exactly for The Manly, except maybe the black. It strikes quite a bit of a style. 

Prices range from S$180 to S$365.


OH MY GOD! George is 50!

Yes! One of the most eligible Manly man of all time, George Clooney is 50th! I always like seeing George in white shirt. It somehow makes him very charming. This is one of the hottest man alive to still attract women of all ages. And not to forget, nice hair ah! 

Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L'Homme Cologne

This is definitely one of the most Manly perfume I have used so far. And I was like "what the fuck?" when I was told that YSL has decided to withdraw their supply of fragerances. I got my last one from Tangs. Damn, this perfume gives off a rather mysterious scent and  it is extremely rich in that it leaves a masculine and intense aroma. 

And the best part of it, the design of the packaging is "Tok Kong"! Oh, not to mention it, The Manly likes Black.

Another very impressive Roadster. Totally "No-Horse-Run".

Factory900







The aesthetics of the beautifully crafted and engineered eyewear from japan, Factory900. The designs are simply out of this world. One of the few brands that I have always been very much fascinated. To me, not everyone out there can wear it up and it is definitely one of its kind! It look very much like googles done to fit nicely on you. 


Some of the designs can be extremely avant grade. But The Manly prefers the sleek black google.  Below is a video doing the demonstration for wearing of the Factory900 glasses. Feel free to email me if you are looking for a pair here in Singapore.

Mini Cooper bicycle




Are you ready for a nice evening cycle session with your new fling? Or lover?


Last weekend, while browsing through Tangs, I saw a section selling Mini Cooper bicycles. These babies are the bomb! There were folding bicycles, as well as ready assembled ones.  In case you have some spare cash to splurge, you can actually jazz up the bicycle with some amazing accessories. 







Im quite sure everyone at East Coast probably rents a retarded bicycle from the kiosk every time they hit the park. Perhaps it would be great to be a little different than the typical kind. 


Anyway, these babies cost like S$700++ to S$1000++.

The Manly Ride - BMW Z4

I bet you must have seen this Manly ride on the road right? Yes, its the BMW Z4. Im telling you, it ROCKS LOR. No doubt, one of the rides that I will definitely want to feature on my blog. This ride has a very sleek and prestigious look and can be quite a chick magnet. If I am not wrong, it has both the hard top and soft top ones. 

I was on my way to St James Powerhouse that night for a Manly gathering with my cousins to watched a soccer match and happen to see the Z4 in white. I must confess it look damn good lar! Even in the night, the reflections from the night street lamps were like dancing on the car.

From what I know, this extremely stylish Z4 is one powerhouse which is built with a 3.0L engine and six speed gearbox.  The engine has extremely great performance and when it comes to revving on the acceleration its superbly smooth. A friend of mine who works in as a car dealer told me the Z4 has an awesome pick up as well. It reaches 100kmph in a mere 5.2 seconds?! 

If you asked me, this ride is one Manly ride.



Takashi Kaneshiro

One of the few men out there classified as The Manly mens' category. Ever since young I have always admired the charms of Takashi Kaneshiro. Lately, he has done up quite a few impressive campaign shots for Armani. I have taken out some shots which I personally believe to be very sexy and seductive. As a man gets more mature, it is extremely important to look sleek and sharp. The hairstyle should give off the sleek look.

Long side burns and short stubs gives off a level of maturity while the long thick eyebrows trimmed to precision, extrudes an intense look. Overall, this new image gives a very sophisticated impression for a man, especially one of such calibre.  





Wash That Manly face!

It appears that most men are using economic and cheap facial products that is mostly found in the supermarkets or mama stores. Worse, if you are one of those guilty of using the worse possible cleanser on earth - The Soap, you are hopeless and completely un-Manly! 

I find Biotherm's Cleansing Gel for normal skin, a very easy to use and effective cleanser that keeps the face really refreshed after bath. And best of all, I like the fragrance. Its very Manly.

I have landed on Earth.

Attention, all my fellow Manly people,

This shall be the place where you can view the world through the eyes of The Manly. I must document the life I see and understand from the smallest possible details to the most significant changes I see in men as time progress. Most importantly, The Manly can have no money at all, but he must have style.
