Atlanta artist J. Stroke concluded that one thing the world sorely lacked was quality striped socks. Beginning his line in 1999, he has slowly added new designs to his product line. Greyscale is an elegant monochromatic pair of socks which would complement any type of slacks.
Manufactured out of ring-spun yarn, which has the best characteristics of both cotton and wool, Stroke Socks are built to last. If you buy 10 pairs of socks online, you get your 11th on the house. Which sounds great, but who will be buying US$100 worth of socks at a time?

Neckties by Baruch Shemtov
Baruch Shemtov is the underage savant who has been making waves in the New York fashion scene. Shemtov sells a special "double tie" that resembles one tie on top of another which sold out at Takashimaya; I guess they are cool - if you somehow find yourself in Back to the Future Part II - but those neckties have a fashion shelf life expiring yesterday.
Luckily, Shemtov designs simpler neckties and you can buy online. These classy, unique neckties come in four styles. But if you aren't brand-aware or don't care to follow the newest fashion flavour du jour, the Manccessorist suggest passing on these US$90 neckties and heading to Express or Club Monaco for a more cost-effective buy.

Belt: New Asymmetric Palladium
Alfred Dunhill Ltd. is a London-based design group who have been in business for over 100 years. Maker of fine accessories, Dunhill fashions elegant and simple mancessories at (unfortunately) a premium.
The New Asymmetric Palladium is a polished and brushed palladium plated buckle with asymmetrical prong and holes in a black saffiano print belt.The New Asymmetric Palladium is also available in polished and brushed gold plated black saffiano.
However, the manccessorist would suggest to the men of the world not buy the gold version. Silver-based accessories are easier to match with a larger set of your clothes - which means less pain for you. Gold is just too difficult to match your clothes, and other accessories. Gold and gold just doesn't work as well as silver-based accessories.
For those in New York City, you can visit the A. Dunhill store at 711 Fifth Avenue, between 55th & 56th Streets (tel. 212 753 9292).
