WOLF VS. GOAT CHINOS: EARLY REVIEWS

(posted by Payman)

The Wolf vs. Goat chinos have been online for about  two days now, and thus far, the response has  been nothing but positive, and rightfully so! Of course I like them, I want you to buy them so I can still have a job, but don't take my word for it. A couple of our customers in Baltimore were the first to receive them, and here's what they had to say:

UGH...UGGS...

(posted by Payman)

And now for something completely different. I don't often get the chance to blog about women's fashion, mostly because we don't really sell women's clothing anymore; but last night, I got on the internet, to do some internet-ing, as I often do, and an article on the Yahoo! front page caught my eye. The article basically said that science has confirmed what I have been saying for years: Ugg boots are slowly, and painfully, leading to the extinction of attractive women.

After many weeks of excitement, an unprecedented three sneak peeks, and six thousand e-mails that I answered individually, the Wolf vs. Goat chinos are officially online!

THE NEXT GUIDE

(posted by Payman)

If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend checking out the two "Farinelli's Guide" blog entries that we did two weeks ago. Here are some links in case you missed them because you are new to this blog, or, if you simply have better things to do than check up on the blog every day (it's ok, I'll just hide how hurt I really am):

SNEAK PEEK: WOLF VS. GOAT CHINOS (PART 3)

(posted by Payman)

We're pretty excited for the launch of the Wolf vs. Goat chinos, which have arrived, and will be going up on ShopFarinellis.com later this week. In the meantime, I thought I would give you guys another teaser of what is to come, especially considering the number of questions I got after posting the five colorways (click here if you missed that post). The fabric samples I posted back then were before the wash treatment they were to go through prior to going into production, and the "espresso" fabric, post-treatment, is definitely one of my favorites. Take a look at some of these pictures of Mauro rocking the Wolf vs. Goat Chino in Espresso:

STEAK AND BJ DAY

(posted by Payman)

Today we bring you yet another disturbing blog post that has nothing to do with fashion. Our update today is dedicated to the unofficial man-holiday known as "Steak and BJ Day," celebrated every year on March 14th (one month after Valentine's Day). Every year, you deal with the vagueness surrounding Valentine's Day that inevitably leads you to reading countless articles (like ours from last month) on what to get your loved one, and ultimately, grey hairs, because are they ever really satisfied? No. Nothing is ever good enough. This is why some very forward-thinking individuals created Steak and BJ Day, and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.


This begs the questions: is it really appropriate to blog about Steak and BJ Day on a business' blog, and why am I blogging about this holiday when it really has nothing to do with fashion? The answer to the first question is probably not, and in my defense to the latter: Mauro made me do it... He's been telling me to blog about Steak and BJ Day for over a month now...

ACL: LVC

(posted by Payman)

Wow, two acronyms in one blog post title. You must be thinking today is going to be pretty exciting day for the blog? Well, no, you'd be wrong. Today is one of those blog posts where you come here and I tell you to click and go to someone else's blog. I like to think of everyone who visits the blog as my best friend, and like my best friends always say to me "I really can't see you today. Go away, go somewhere else." I hate my friends...

ROBERT GELLER BY MIKE KOBAL

(posted by Payman)

In anticipation of our Robert Geller Spring/Summer 2010 buy, I went in search of interviews with the designer who was crowned GQ/CFDA Best New Menswear Designer in 2009. I found a really well-done one by Mike Kobal that I thought I would share with our blog readers. While the interview isn't totally in-depth, the video itself is awesome. It's also done in black and white, so you know it's going to be good right from the start. Enjoy!

THE FARINELLI'S GUIDE TO: PARTY ETIQUETTE

(posted by Payman)

Well we're back, just like we said we'd be back, and once again, we're here to tell you how to live your life. You're probably thinking, "but I'm already doing such a good job of living my life!" Really? You're spending all your time reading a blog, written by a guy who admitted he gets drunk and acts like a pterodactyl (sometimes) in the last "Farinelli's Guide". You really think the life choices that brought you to this blog were good ones? Don't feel bad, we're not here to judge. On the contrary, Mauro, Nathan, and I are here to guide you through the many strange situations you may encounter throughout the course of living.

This week, we tackle party etiquette, and I'm not talking about those parties with all of your old buddies from back home in someone's basement. Not the kind of party where everyone knows one another and inevitably, a girl shows up who has slept with nine different guys who are also there, and you know that's the case, because when she walks in, they all start high-fiving one another and abusing the word "bro." I'm talking about the kind of swanky affair that's usually thrown by some large group (like a company), or held in a really nice hotel/lounge, and is open bar. The kind of thing where you want to walk around and meet people.

Now that I've got your attention (I had you at "bro"), let's get to it:
