i heard niggaz was sleepin on my post GAME..Well I never sleep..
I just saw Lebron in a post-game interview and I realized not only is the best player in the League (Sorry Kobe)..
But he's also The Best-Dressed Player...
(Again Sorry Kobe)
LeBRON JAMES
Whoop...no surprise here. Bron had to make the list at some point, and he's number 1 in my book. If you've ever seen LeBron during post game interviews or magazine covers, he always looks good. He has the billionaire playboy image down and his game is just as great as his swag.

BlackOut Quote of the Day:
Don’t buy something simply because it’s expensive.
Chasing the status price tag only leaves you poor from buying things based on other people’s taste.
Find your balance.

Midrange Game (Part II): The Denim Jacket
Wednesday, April 21, 2010
In Part II of ‘Midrange Game’ I’m going with the vintage denim jacket.
Beyond popular belief, denim jackets are easy to wear. The trick is to grab one that understands its history and pays homage to its roots. All these crazy contemporary jackets with fake distressing, nonsensical zippers and over-the-top pocket details (think Diesel, True Religion, etc) are over-designed and look silly.
I picked up this Levi trucker jacket at one of my favorite vintage stores in Chelsea, NYC. Although Im a 40 chest, I bought a 38 to get a better fit. This jacket was made circa 1970, smelled like authentic trucker cigarette smoke and was beat-up from decades of wear and tear. After a quick dry clean it was exactly what I was looking for. Probably the best $30 I’ve ever spent.
To play it safe, pair a denim jacket with slim cotton chinos in khaki, navy, olive, brown, or stone grey (like the ones pictured). If you’re a little more adventurous - and experienced - try a broken-in jacket with dark raw denim to add a little F*ck You to your look. Just make sure the washes are different enough that it doesn’t look like a Canadian tuxedo - which in my case is just a tuxedo ;)
Keep in mind, as always, when you read this blog that I do not encourage dressing like me or copying my looks. I only share pictures to use as inspiration for you to find your own look.
For example, do I recommend wearing retro Jordan sneakers with tailored designer pants and a luxury timepiece? Not necessarily. But do I recommend expressing yourself through your method of dress? Absolutely.
Thanks for reading.
Yours in style,
SB

Classic Burberry Suit from NordstromNordstrom
This is where I learned about the details of men’s fashions and styles. If you want superb one on one personal service to help choose a suit, then Nordstrom is the only place you want to go. They only carry the best brands and they have some of the best tailors in the business. Nordstrom does not have tons of promotional sales or coupons, they have a half-yearly and a anniversary sale that easily trumps the sales of all other retailers. Those sales, that are usually during the summer, are the best times to buy suits, shirts, ties, shoes, belts, pocket squares, and anything else. Featured brands include: Canali, Hugo Boss, Joseph Aboud, and many more.

Modern Hugo Boss suit from BloomingdalesBloomingdales
If you want the most stylish and most trendy suits, then Bloomingdales is perfect for you. The store offers a wide variety of styles and brands including: Armani, Purple Label, Hugo Boss, and many more. Bloomingdales, known for its brown bags, has sales throughout the year and is great place for anyone on a reasonable budget or who has thousands to splurge. This is usually my first recommendation for someone searching for a suit.

K&G
If you are on a very tight budget and looking to spend $100-$200 on a suit, then K&G is your godsend. K&G is a warehouse so the store has a plethora of suit offerings- every color, style, and cut. K&G carries the Steve Harvey wide-leg suits, Jones New York athletic-fit suits, italian-made suits like Zenetti, and even 3 piece-suits by Sean John. They have a wide variety, but it’s hard to find a teir-1 suit in K&G, you have to really search and you’ll only find a few to choose from.

Signature 3-button suit from Jos A.BankI’m sure you’ve seen their commercials and advertisements- Joseph A. Bank is known for its sales. This store is good for the average guy on the search for his first suit. They have helpful attendants and have many traditional styles and brands to choose from.
*Other Notable Stores: Brooks Brothers and Men’s Warehouse
Every man should own atleast one suit. Not one that you got from your dad or brother, but one that you bought specifically for you and your body. I also recommend all men to have atleast one quality designer-type suit. A good suit can easily be spotted and definitely speaks tons about who you are- it says that you are serious and ready to succeed, not to mention that you have great taste!
