Welcome to our latest Sunday Shop update, the “Getting Hitched in Hawaii” Edition.

In case you’ve missed the first couple editions, Sunday Shop is a new, (usually) bi-weekly update of the small business side of EG, as well as a chance for me to share any good deals I come across, products I think are worth a look, and site updates I feel you should know about.

I’ve got wedding on the brain, apparently, with the wedding-related articles, my own wedding coming up next week, and now this shop update.

Anyway, on to the juicy stuff you care about. In celebration of my wedding week, I’m offering a special promotion for all current EG products.

Wear a Tuxedo Every Chance You Get: An argument for the formal wedding celebration

Let me ask you a question. How often does a man get a chance to wear a tuxedo?

Unless you’re Jack Donaghy, probably not very often.

I’m within that age range where many of my friends are getting engaged and married. In fact, I’m getting married myself (next week!), and when K and I started hardcore planning a few months ago, there was no doubt in my mind I wanted to wear a tuxedo.

Since you’re an EG reader, I’m going to assume you enjoy dressing well and welcome the opportunity that formal events provide to do so :)

F#%K Fashion: Eight Tips to Being the Best Dressed Guy You Know

May 28, 2013
eight tips

I have a confession to make. Admittedly, I don’t know much about “fashion”.

I don’t follow menswear blogs or keep up with the latest on the runways of Pitti, Capsule, or New York Fashion Week.

I have a lot going on, and frankly, I’m not all that interested in the newest collections and the current season’s “must have” items.

Maybe you’re like me.

Welcome to our second Sunday Shop update, the “Spending Summer in Shorts” edition.

In case you missed the first edition, Sunday Shop is a new, (usually) bi-weekly update of the small business side of EG, as well as a chance for me to share any good deals I come across, products I think are worth a look, and site updates I feel you should know about.

Been getting a lot of shorts-related questions lately, and considering it’s almost June, figured it would be an appropriate topic to address.

Fewer, but better: How buying cheap clothing kills people

Did you hear about the tragedy that happened in Bangladesh a few weeks ago? If not, read a bit about it here, and a more personalized account of it (and other similar events) here.

Pretty sad, right? Every article has varying numbers, but the final death toll is estimated to be more than one thousand people.

How often do we pay attention to where our stuff is made?

Probably not that much, if at all.
