Bebop broke new ground in Jazz music, moving beyond the popular songs of the 20s and 30s into something more intellectually and musically challenging. The creators of this music where men of supreme talent (Dizzy, Bird, Monk, Powell...etc), but some could not overcome their self-destructive behaviour.

It is great to see that GQ doesn't only feature $3,000 Tom Ford suits on their cover models.  GQ's latest cover boy, Shia LaBeouf, is wearing a great pinstripe Club Monaco number...one that I bought a couple of weeks ago. I am always happy to see something that I own in the pages of GQ, but it surely doesn't happen often, given my limited budget for clothing!  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

They feature a shorter jacket, high arm holes, working buttonholes and narrow lapels; so you get the look of a &lt;a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/blackfleece.process"&gt;Brooks Brothers Black Fleece&lt;/a&gt; suit, without needing to take out a bank loan.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The suits come in two styles, the Kennedy fit (traditional) and the Wright fit (slim), and are sold as separates (jacket and pants).  I bought the Wright model today in a pinstripe grey, and it fits great.  One word of advice: try on one size bigger than you are used to wearing, the suits may be made a little bit 'snug' for some tastes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7015659432000611054-3990218188378510857?l=alistair1958.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alistair1958.blogspot.com/feeds/3990218188378510857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alistair1958.blogspot.com/2010/01/club-monaco-suits.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7015659432000611054/posts/default/3990218188378510857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7015659432000611054/posts/default/3990218188378510857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alistair1958.blogspot.com/2010/01/club-monaco-suits.html' title='Club Monaco Suits'/><author><name>Alistair 1958</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02594839098803289602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqXXtQoVwJI/AAAAAAAAARU/guQGCYQaNHU/S220/Picture+1.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/S1Szxc0FJII/AAAAAAAAAno/q98YkGjozqg/s72-c/Picture+2.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015659432000611054.post-7069174543551973670</id><published>2010-01-15T08:08:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-16T21:31:00.538-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='accessories'/><title type='text'>Byrd and Bell Laptop Sleeves</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/S1BpVciw2zI/AAAAAAAAAmw/QjYWHnRuGCo/s1600-h/il_fullxfull.112407410.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Specifically, I am a bit torn between the north/south versus the east/west styles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Answer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, we men do not have a lot of options available to us in when it comes to bags.  Woman (as is usually the case) have a multitude of options for different situations, and in different colors to choose from.  However, the one style rule that I always try to follow is function over form, and bags cannot escape this rule's graps.  For school I use my incase laptop back pack:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SsaW3Zngu7I/AAAAAAAAAWE/eaCuDgKq9vM/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 273px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SsaW3Zngu7I/AAAAAAAAAWE/eaCuDgKq9vM/s400/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388159882708958130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It is functional enough to hold all of my essential gear (books and Macbook), but I don't look like I am going on a 8 day backpacking trip into the Andes.  When I am lucky enough to travel I take my soft leather Rudsak brief case, but one bag that I do not have in my arsenal is a messenger.  I am partial to the 'East/West' style of messenger bag in a simple canvas or leather:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SsaYz0ogj9I/AAAAAAAAAWM/hm1IrM_pIpY/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Unfortunately, it looks like the venerable Italian suit maker Brioni is going down that same road.  I discovered this disappointing news through an article from the New York Times entitled, &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/11/business/global/11brioni.html?pagewanted=1"&gt;Brioni, Suitmaker to Presidents, Adpats to Crisis&lt;/a&gt;.  Obviously, it has become very difficult for people to justify spending $4,000 of their hard earned cash on anything material, let alone a suit.  However, does buying a T-shirt for $250, that will last a year or three, make more or less sense than buying a suit that will last you a life time?  One thing that I did enjoy seeing in the piece were the accompanying pictures of Brioni's factory and tailoring school in Penne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3SzbbW6I/AAAAAAAAAPI/HL-SNN-uTVs/s1600-h/28881779.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3SzbbW6I/AAAAAAAAAPI/HL-SNN-uTVs/s400/28881779.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377780963727858594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3T5B3PSI/AAAAAAAAAPg/wFksTX9Rdnw/s1600-h/28881943.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3T5B3PSI/AAAAAAAAAPg/wFksTX9Rdnw/s400/28881943.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377780982411115810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3TnRf_kI/AAAAAAAAAPY/UYE4X-s3NeA/s1600-h/28881883.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3TnRf_kI/AAAAAAAAAPY/UYE4X-s3NeA/s400/28881883.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377780977644863042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3TZokdwI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/oAwZHWgSRiY/s1600-h/28881815.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3TZokdwI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/oAwZHWgSRiY/s400/28881815.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377780973983528706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3SUojTDI/AAAAAAAAAPA/Y_Jr1Obl_Z0/s1600-h/28881725.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG3SUojTDI/AAAAAAAAAPA/Y_Jr1Obl_Z0/s400/28881725.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377780955461405746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Courtesy of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/08/11/business/0811-BRIONI_3.html"&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I am ever in need of a mid-life career change, I know where to look.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7015659432000611054-4182289955341741095?l=alistair1958.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alistair1958.blogspot.com/feeds/4182289955341741095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alistair1958.blogspot.com/2009/09/300-t-shirt.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7015659432000611054/posts/default/4182289955341741095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7015659432000611054/posts/default/4182289955341741095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alistair1958.blogspot.com/2009/09/300-t-shirt.html' title='The $300 T-Shirt'/><author><name>Alistair 1958</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02594839098803289602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqXXtQoVwJI/AAAAAAAAARU/guQGCYQaNHU/S220/Picture+1.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BtGOxwyuj_A/SqG0MhwYpeI/AAAAAAAAAO4/SpbRKQrS3Zk/s72-c/shirt.650.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015659432000611054.post-4333106975898813045</id><published>2009-09-02T22:37:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-03T09:54:04.699-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='style'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Esquire'/><title type='text'>Esquire: Best Dressed Real Man -
