J. Crew is one of the few things we men can’t resist. Perhaps it has got something to do with the style and ruggedness that go hand in hand. They have been collaborating with every other fashion house or designer to launch new bags, belts and other such accessories.

This time around, they have unveiled a cool Tote in collaboration with the Japanese label Superior Labor. Now one can go to lengths at discussing what this collaboration might imply, especially at a time when luxury goods are finally beginning to hit the hard face of recession. The bags are handmade, distressed and comes with an awesome J. Crew label on it. The bag costs $350 and would go well with casual wear.

The problem with men’s bags is that most designer have ignored the aesthetic part of the design and concentrated on the design part of the bag. However, this bag comes with not only a functional design but also a svelte and sexy look that no one can possibly resist. The bag was inspired by an engineer’s tool bag but it looks more like a bag a model would carry on the runways of Milan or Paris.

J. Crew has teamed up with American leather makers Billykirk to launch their limited edition belt that comes hand stitched with custom solid brass buckle. It will be sold at select locations and a select shops like Hamptons J.Crew store. The belt would cost between $140 and $160.

These belts would be great for any guy worth his salt and if you are the kind of guy who would not mind spending a tidy amount on awesome belts, you really should go in for these belts. They would look great on jeans and even on casual trousers. Just make sure you wear a similar kind of shoes.

You should always wear socks that match your trousers and belts that match your shoes. It is a golden rule that many guys do not follow. This belt will turn a geek into a dandy! And I cannot wait to get one for myself!
