Michael SatterfieldFitness guru Nick Long stopped by the barn last week for a quick photoshoot. I have just received some new watches from MAX Watches to review and check out. So I pulled some products from my line, Morgan’s & Phillip’s, some classic Levi’s, and some glasses from my favorite online glasses shop, Zenni, and we put together this quick shoot. (Links to all the products are at the bottom of this post)
There are tee shirts and there are tee shirts. For this shoot, I used tees from both my premium and basic lines. You can see that the premium tees are fitted and less boxy. Depending on your body type, you might want to go with a more boxy tee. If you happen to be a personal trainer like Nick, go with the fitted tee.
I ran across this company, MAX Watches, online and sent them a message asking if I could check out some of their newest lines. They sent over several watches in different styles for me to look at. MAX watches are designed in the Netherlands and manufactured overseas using Japanese automatic and quartz movements. They have watches priced between $22-$700, and all come in nice packaging and are well designed. In handling the watches, they have a nice weight; they don’t feel cheap, and while many of their designs echo higher-end watches like Tag Heuer, they are unique enough to stand on their own. Out of the watches I have seen in person, I would have to say that the Tobacco Gentlemen or the Flare Grand Prix would be welcome additions to my collection.
There are pretty much two brands of denim that dominate my closet and my styling racks: Levi’s American Classic and American Eagle Outfitters. For today’s shoot, we used some standard Levi’s 511s and stuck with that. For the ultra denim obsessed, I know you can preach about your $400 virgin denim from Japan you have been wearing for 5 years before its first wash to get that perfect fit… well I like jeans but since I do actual things that involve more than sitting around a coffee shop on denim forums I like jeans that fit well, last, and are not so dear to me that I would not be willing to climb under an old Fiat on the side of the road. Levi’s and American Eagle tick all those boxes, and you can buy them anywhere, but some of my favorite pairs have come from my favorite thrift store, Community West in Corona, California.
