Historical Fashion Inspiration

There are certain details that pass the test of time as just good design. This blog post is just my take on the subject. Going back through history, men have enjoyed a bit of dapperness. When watching shows like Peaky Blinders, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, my eye is drawn to the details, the accessories.

The unknotted necktie with a tie tack up high. Get the look with a Mag TAK. Made with magnets so you don't ruin your nice silk ties.

Boardwalk Empire guys are all over the collar bar. It is an easy add on functional accessory. It has a way of totally tightening up the whole look. Badass in the boardroom.

Tie adornment details from left to right: Victorian gold painted black glass magnetic Mag TAK. Victorian metal picture button of an angel Mag TAK. Mantique Vintage "Churchill" hat pin upcycled into a Mag TAK.

Lapel pins have always been a part of the mix. Icons of clubs, legions or just a decorative element. I like to think this is the perfect way to add a bit of personality to your outfit as well as a way to draw people in. A little bit of something that grabs people's attention, they ask about what it is or what it means......Then my friend you have a conversation going. Shown above: A brass Victorian antique button featuring a soldier wearing a helmet,  Upcycled into a magnetic pin. Mag TAK. This can be worn on a jacket lapel, hat or necktie.

LOVE the polished, buttoned up look here. Pocket square, scarf, cufflinks, the whole nine yards. The Mag TAK is a great substitute for the stick tie pin shown here. Don't poke holes in your beautiful silk ties.
