Some Spyders are very cool

Sure you can tool around town on a scooter if you want to. Save gas, carry a man bag, look European and all that. But why? Brought to you by the same folks that make Sea-Doo's and Ski-Doo's these road warriors put a new shift in open road freedom and are just bad-ass fun.

GQ's Abbey Road Collection for 2009

It was 1969 and John, Paul, Ringo and George knew that this was to be their last album. What they didn’t know was that Abbey Road would become one of the greatest albums of all time and that the cover would become perhaps the most well know of album covers ever.
Did you know that the cover photgrapher Ian MacMillan had only 10 minutes to shoot the picture. So at 11:30 in the more he took that famous click of the Beatles walking across the zebra crossing outside the studio. That was in 1969. Nearly 40 years later GQ’s own photographer Chance Buell took our Wazee Street version of Abbey Road at 11:30 in the morning.
Our Creative Director, Crystal Hass took her inspiration from that iconic album to design our first collection of men men’s hair design men’s hair styles for 2009. While Beatles had their differences in 1969 with themselves, with each other and with the world, they came together to produce a very strong, solid album. And so it is with this collection.
There is weight and texture and a decidedly square orientation of these designs that add strength to the male presentation. Strength to get through adversity and uncertainty that is with men today and was with the Beatles 40 years ago. Have a look.

The Classic White Shirt

Here's the deal. The classic white shirt, spread collar not buttondown is a mandatory staple in the gentleman's wardrobe. Here are a few tips:

1. Buy the best one that you can. Even better, get it custom made. That way the measurements are more precise and you can choose a high quality cloth. Egyptian cotton, high thread count, avoid patterns.

2. Buy one that has a long tail so that it stays tucked in and doesn't blouse.

3. Have the shirt hand washed and hand finished by someone who knows how to iron a shirt (not your mother). When you get it back keep the plastic over the shirt so that it remains free of dirt and dust. Oh and make certain to keep it out of the light.

4. Shave long before you put the shirt on to make certain that you don't have any bleeders. That's the last thing you need before rushing out the door.

5. Wear a crew neck tee shirt underneath and opt for an expensive one not the ones that you get 10 for $10 at the discount store. Why? The white shirt will lay better, look better and will not show perspiration stains. Kinda spoils the impact if you've got large yellow circles under your arms.

6. While you're at buy two of those bad boys so you can wear one of them more frequently. Try it with jeans when you're going out with her in the afternoon. It just reeks of style and elegance. Oh, one more thing, tuck it in
