Not sure if you should wear that Tommy Bahama shirt out tonight? The magnificent bastard is here to help. Go ahead. Ask away.

Relax, big spender, we want your knowledge, not your credit card info. If you know about something you think we should know about, let us know (so we can then pretend that we knew about it all along.) Send a tip.

  • Ask the MB: Belstaff

    Ask the MB: Belstaff

    Q: Real Simple - How do you feel about Belstaff products? Especially the bags and leather jackets.
    --Gonzo

    A: It's hard to knock Belstaff given their Anglophilic pedigree. Hollywood certainly loves 'em, and has had success in wildly varying degrees:

    Clockwise From Top:

    * Older Brad Pitt in the "Button" jacket in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

    * Will Smith in "Trialmaster" jacket in I Am Legend

    * Tim Allen and others in various Belstaff jackets in Wild Hogs

    * Shia LaBeouf in "Mutt" jacket in Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    In fact, part of the reason we can't fully endorse them is they're almost a little too Hollywood. At a certain age the women start getting Botox, the men start wearing leather Belstaff jackets.
