Celery Hard-On, Our Legacy, and Black & Noir

• All of you Discerning Brutes out there know how difficult it is to find menswear that is distinctive, well-made, ethical, and classic. Our Legacy is a Swedish line featuring thoughtfully tailored shirting, suiting, knitwear and more. Their blazers are versatile, and cut short. Many of their shirts are inspired by cuts from the 1940′s. They do have several ethical options, including a naturally dyed, oak-buttoned blazer in hemp, a linen bomber-jacket in navy, dead-stock shirts, shirts in organic cotton, and hemp shorts and trousers in olive and camel. Everything is sweatshop-free; designed in Sweden, constructed in Portugal with Japanese fabric. I really hope to see more and more sustainable fabrics added to future collections, and for these Stockholm designers to ditch leather (why, you ask?).

http://4pack.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/celery2.jpg• Admit it, celery gives you a hard-on. A new study concluded that eating lots of celery is like “Vegetable Viagra“. It contains androstenone, a natural steroid that increases pheromone secretion, sex drive, and ups the amount of ejaculatory fluids, making climax stronger. Of course, this is not news to you guys who already know that diets heavy in meat and dairy have been linked to poor sperm quality, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction. Contrary to popular belief, the male hormone testosterone that determines sexual development and interest has been found to be 13 % higher in vegans than in meat-eaters.

    How does the dry shampoo work?

      from the website: “sprinkle a dime size amount of powder into your hands and rub through the roots of your dry hair. You’ll be amazed at the results.”

    The cuts on the clothes seems odd to me. They flair a bit towards the bottom. I dislike that. My body shape does not do well when they are. Seems like they were cut for men whose shape does not narrow towards the stomach and hips.

      I have not tried them on, myself, but based on some other photos of the model wearing them, I imagine they look different on a person than on a hanger. The jackets are cut shorter to accommodate more casual usage (with jeans or shorts). I do see what you mean, though.
