6 edgars club man / autumn 2013

hello there

The long

summer

nights,

lie-ins and

lazy days in the sun

may have been

replaced with

meetings, deadlines

and obligatory

post-holiday

shape-up, but the

new year – making

resolutions, setting

goals and facing

new challenges –

is what I get excited

about. With more

pages than ever

before, we equip

you with the

wardrobe, expert

advice and info

you need to take

2013 head on.

Discover how

to suit up for the

boardroom or the

bar (p30), fi nd even

more ways to wear fashion’s all-rounder – denim

(p35); and get to know fashion icon, Mr Tom Ford,

and his new fragrance Noir (p66), plus more

essential fragrances on p68.

And speaking of fashion icons, we set a challenge

for local style star and GQ’s Best-Dressed Man of

2012, Tyrone Keogh. Find out more about his love

of design and his fashion must-haves on p20.

We were also at the launch of the fi rst Topman

store in South Africa, and spoke to creative director,

Gordon Richardson, about this powerbrand (p36).

What are your plans and resolutions for 2013?

Remember to keep them stylish.

PS: Check out more of my favourite items from

this issue on p28.

3 Never forget to polish. There’s

nothing worse than

a well-dressed man

in scruffy shoes. It

ruins the entire effort.

2 Keep a range of classic shoes in rotation. Purchase

a brogue, a cap toe and

a loafer, and you’ll have

every situation covered.

Shoes1 Think of your shoes as an investment. Well-

maintained shoes that

are regularly cleaned,

polished and resoled

will last a lifetime.

3 Don’t be afraid of slim-fi t shirts. It’s not

a look everyone can

pull off, but if you’re trim

and lean, always opt for

a more tailored look.

2 Does your collar fi t your neck? You

should be able to

slip both your index

and middle fi ngers

side-by-side between

your neck and collar.

Shirt1 Always ensure your shirt is tucked in. To look

smart, you have

to play the part.

3 Have fun with your look. A little

bit of individual

fl air – a folded silk

pocket square or

unique cuffl inks

– will mark you as

a man of distinction

and adventure.

2 If you’re going to wear a suit, wear it with pride. Ensure it’s

always cleanly

pressed and

presentable.

1. Place around your neck, with one side longer than the other. Cross the longer side over and under the shorter side. Adjust to fi t.

2 & 3. Bring the shorter piece forward and fold it into the shape of a bow against your neck. Bring the longer piece down in front of the bow shape.

4 & 5. These are the tricky steps: take the tips of the "bow" shape you created and pull them together. If you stand sideways facing a mirror and pull the tips, you'll see you've created a hole at the back. Take the top end of the long piece (which is hanging in front of the bow shape) and poke it through the hole.

6. Adjust until you're happy with the shape.

ES.

She said…I’ve been known to sob over the kitchen sink – that’s

how much I despised the drudgery of washing dishes.

A teenager with questionable hygienic habits, dubbed luigat (lazy bum) by my fastidious parents, I was quickly

moved into the outside room where I was allowed

to wallow in my sloth. Then I met my domestic match

– just like me, he was quite content with an unmade

bed of tangled sheets and towering heaps of clothing.

As soon as we were married though, an inexplicable

transformation occurred: I discovered my inner 1950s’

housewife. I harboured dreams of cooking mouth-

watering meals, while transforming our apartment

into a sparkling oasis of domestic bliss. Of course,

the reality was a little different – my outer sloth is not

easily tamed. But I did start washing the dishes almost

daily, sighing martyr-like, hoping my husband would

appreciate the extraordinary lengths I was going to.

He just turned the volume up on the TV.

Our bedroom too became a hotbed of contention.

Take this conversation for example: Me (tackling our

bed like a drill sergeant schooled in the sublime lines

of hospital corners), “You know, I read an article that

said people who make their beds sleep better and

are more productive and happier.” Him (flicking

an imaginary speck off my perfectly-aligned linen),

“Ja? Well, obviously they didn’t interview me,” as he

bolted for the safety of his mountain bike. I was left

to ponder whether Bed Wars had led to tricky men

inventing cycling and other endurance sports.

I’m happy to report, however, that my husband has

learnt the hard way that employing the rational faculty

men are reportedly blessed with, really does pay off.

I’d recommend you boys make your bed too (more

than once a month). By taking a mere minute out

of your morning, you’ll not only ensure that you’re

more productive and happier outside of your bed

– but, more importantly, inside of it.

He said…It was all too much. After 10 years of demanding,

begging, eventually pleading, my mother wept in the

corner of my bedroom. She was defeated. “But why,

mom? Why must I make my bed? You don’t re-wrap

a birthday present and open it again the next day. So

why should I pull the duvet over my sheets if I’m just

going to get into bed every night? It makes no sense.”

Of course, it was different with my grandmother.

If the corners weren’t crisp come morning, she wasn’t

afraid to haul off the slipper and belt me within an inch

of my life. There’s no school like the old school to instill

obedience and decorum in a young man.

And now, after eight years of blissful bachelordom

I find my lazy mornings under siege yet again from

a terrifyingly neat female – my fiancée. She has no

record of military achievements, so where her love

of corners sharp enough to detach an errant toe

comes from I have no clue. Worse still, she leaves

for work first every morning with these clipped,

parting words, “Make the bed please. Thank you.”

It’s the “thank you” that’s most telling. With a simple

“make the bed please” there’s room for interpretation.

Could it be a polite request? Yes. Is it a wishy-washy

statement, with no dire consequences if ignored?

Yes. But the “thank you” is a direct order that will equal

untold misery if not followed. It’s in the smile on her

part; the assumption on my part that it’s not entirely

fatal to leave the bed unmade. A vicious cycle of differing

opinions and expectations on household chores.

The bed is for sleeping. The sheets, the duvet…

all present to keep you warm and comfortable. Ladies,

if you want precision, if you want order amidst the

chaos, turn to your rose garden, or collection of scatter

cushions in the lounge. But leave the bedroom alone.

We will not be bowed. We will not make the bed.

There are more important things in life to worry about;

like whose turn it is to do the dishes…
