Then there’s his bolo tie, which is tied with his bow tie for first place in the neckwear category.

Finally: his hair. Which is well on its way to being Morrissey hair.

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.

In the beginning, there was the scarf. A gorgeous vintage scarf. And now it has become these amazing shoes.

Te Cesan shoes

Purchased at Te Casan in NYC (RIP), the broadway-dancer-wannabe-turned-sales-associate only had to utter the words “one of a kind” and I was sold.

If you want to get ahead, get a hat

Or, more specifically, get the Blocked Toyo Romanelli by Still Life. My pal (and colleague) Len sent in these shots of the handcrafted Trilby, which is available at Freshman in Vancouver.

The Backstreet Boys summed it up

‘That’s the way I like it’ pretty much sums up why I love getting clothes custom made. I can get wool slacks that fit how I want them to.

Simply because I want it that way.

I couldn’t talk about custom-made goodies

without including my two favourite rings (k, fine: my two only rings). The band was designed with the help of my talented designer friend (you’re the best, Ben).

I love it so much I’ve hardly ever worn it because I never want to wash it (heaven forbid it shrinks). Is that so wrong?

Is there anything you consider too precious to wear?
