Why, wouldn't you?

This jacket from Grasp demanded blogging, and while it's available for both men and women, Adam beat me to it this time. I have to say that my personal preference for coats is that they use the jacket layer and then prims to detail: this one doesn't disappoint, offering some very well made sculpted parts. The prims fit neatly without the need for editing, and there are plenty of sculpted embellishments. "Nothing a texture wouldn't sort," Adam said when inspecting the many sculpties used to create a button, "but kudos for the effort". Close examination shows that even the zips on the arms have their own sculpties, and while it seems there is quite a lot of photosourcing, there are some nice details like the hand stitching on the neck. A lot of effort went into this one. 

The tshirt is iSpy from Lookr. I'll admit my designs are eclectic, but I often run with an animal theme. This one was inspired by our dog making eyes at me when I refused to share a snack with her. I think I managed to capture something of that woeful longing in her eye: wear it enough and you may find people start to pass you gifts out of some unplaceable sense of guilt. 

A trip to LikeA produced these grungy jeans, which really won Adam over. They have an interesting colouration at the top that's seldom seen in SL. Using it here makes the jeans more unique, and a worthy addition to your wardrobe even if you already own your fair share of denim. The cuffs have a good slouch to them and are scripted for easy resizing. The only downside with that is the cuffs are no-modify so tinting is impossible. With most standard sky settings they render fine, but unusual lighting may give a sharper contrast. 

The neckchain is also from Grasp and shows the same level of care and thought as the jacket. Because the tags are done in the same style as the jacket buttons, there's a certain amount of harmony in this outfit's design, which rounds the whole thing off nicely.

Belleza came up trumps with this skin. I can't resist the handsome smile, the perfectly hewn body, and that fine sprinkling of stubble that somehow jellifies my feeble female form. Rest assured that my love of the Belleza's ladies lines is completely irrelevant here. Notice how I didn't even mention the fact that I can shop in the opposite room while my better half peruses the latest in manly tans? I hope you noticed. I wouldn't want you to have me down as a self-centred skinaholic.

Moving swiftly on to the finale, this hair is another great style by MADesign. The sculpts give their dos an edge and charm that's easy to appreciate, proving to the sceptics that while there is generally a lot less choice in men's hair on the grid, there are some fantastic designers out there doing it for the boys.
