Well it’s the end of the year and in the tradition of that, I guess it’s time for my top picks of the year. In no particular order here are my top 5 links of 2009. Companies, who over the last year have come to my attention via Twitter, Facebook, this E-zine or over my extensive travels:

www.englishlaundry.com – Stylish, unique and trendy men’s wear. I can say the quality is great, the shipping is fast and the items are truly unique. The shirts work best un-tucked and in a more casual setting such as the beach.
www.pocketsquarez.com – The best selection and price for pocket squares I have ever seen! Honest! Pre folded and easy to use, I have a few of these and will be ordering more. They add tons of style to any suit, rented or not.
www.indochino.com – Custom made suits. I have a tuxedo from these guys, it fits like a glove, the quality is impeccable and it has my name stitched into it, who could ask for more? I highly recommend these guys for your suit or Tux needs.
www.themanregistry.com – All things Groom! Great gifts for your Groomsmen, or yourself…go ahead indulge yourself. I’m on the expert board, answering questions for the Groom along with some others from the industry. A really great site to help you out as a Groom.
www.blank-label.com – These guys recently found me through Twitter. You can design your own shirt. It’s pretty cool and adds a really unique factor to your attire. You could design your shirt and also those of your wedding party, plus the shirt would make a great take away gift for your Groomsmen.
