Cold Spring

Good morning, Fab Free Readers. The calendar may tell me it’s Spring but it’s still rather cold here in the real world. 25 degrees this evening and that’s before our chance of snow this coming weekend. While the shops and designers are bringing out the bathing suits and shorts, I still want something warm I’m afraid.

In deference to that, I have found a very nice new coat, scarf and sweater from a new-to-me designer – R3VOLT. The shop doesn’t appear to have an in-world store any longer but their Marketplace store is up and running.  This is the “Sterling” coat but really it’s the entire top in one piece. That’s coat, scarf and sweater.  There is also a HUD to change all three plus the pocket square to any one of fifteen color/pattern choices. All this for a low 10L price makes for an easy bundled up ensemble indeed.

Sizes Included

• Classic Mesh – XS – XL (Alpha layer included)

Black Heart

Good evening, Fab Readers. If you ever wonder what the bloggers here on ‘the Fab’ go through for you… wonder no more. I have braved the Valentines Day Shop & Hop for you.  I may be seeing pink and my ears ringing with love songs for days. But there was men’s wear to be had… so I prevailed. 😉

I found a very unusual shirt as the free gift for Reinvent and ended up rather liking it. This is the “Black Heart long sleeve” and yes… it’s sheer. Good thing I was at the gym earlier. The heart shape on the chest reads “Black Black Heart” and it may accurately describe how a lot of people feel about this holiday. The shirt is very well made and the details are spot on. Be sure to stick around and check out the Reinvent booth… there are some very nice things for sale.

The Valentines Day Shop & Hop runs until Feb. 15th so don’t delay.

Sizes Included

• Belleza Jake
• Legacy
• Signature Gianni

my mother told me son let it be

Good evening, Fab Readers.  Finding good quality men’s wear and accessories here on the Grid is often a trial and can be very frustrating. Honestly, I think if I have to see one more hoodie… Never mind, I digress. When the morass of “not affordable” or “mundane” men’s wear gets me down, I retreat to my stand by favorites. Places with quality work and generous groups. One such place is R&R Swag. They can always be counted on for excellent group gifts and other affordable options. Plus, the designers are rather charming and very friendly.

I found recently that the prizes on the Lucky Chairs in the main store have been updated and I was delighted to see that my initial had popped up as well. I didn’t hesitate to grab this full outfit ; The Blade Biker Outfit. The complete outfit includes the jacket, with and without the tee shirt, the jeans and the boots. All impeccably built and perfect for casual days or nights. The outfit is designer exclusively for the Signature Gianni but I found it looked just as smashing on my Belleza Jake. As Julianna would say, “Your mileage may vary.” Even if this look doesn’t suit you, R&R Swag has many other past group gifts available as well as other outfits loaded into the Lucky Chairs. The Group is free to join as well.

Now I’m Gone

You’ve got three days, FabFree. Three days left to hunt down the prizes for the Menstuff Hunt. This is one of the few Men’s items only hunts in Second Life. It’s wildly successful and well attended … maybe some other Hunt organizers will take note and make their own ‘masculine’ hunts.

She wants to steal my jacket

There are a lot of great prizes this year but this has to be one of my favorites. This is the “Skulls” Jacket and tee set from Illustrious. You can pick this up for just 1L when you find the tuxedo shirt shaped prize object. However… the Hunt ends in just three days. So get in gear and hunt some great prizes down.

Good evening, Fab Readers. I’m taking a quick break to show the gentlemen and well built new free gift from Tori’s Stylez this evening. Its been a hard scramble lately for good quality men’s gifts so this jacket, shirt and jeans combo is a breath of fresh air.

Tori’s Stylez has teamed up with Second Life Frees and Offers to give us the “Ewan Tan Collection”. And it is a generous collection indeed. The denim over shirt can be worn alone or with the tee shirt. Included are three HUDs for different colors, textures and patterns for the tee shirt. Twenty four choices in all. The jeans come in two versions, a tapered leg and a classic straight leg.  You will need to join the free SLF&O group, easily done at the sign underneath the “Ewan” ad, to pick up your gift.
