Jeans used to be one of the easiest items in men's fashion to buy, right next to socks and that necktie for your dad's next birthday. Recently, though, that denim-clad style choice has gotten much, much harder. With the addition of countless new labels on every price point and the expansion of styles and cuts, today's jean market can be overwhelming. How is the savvy shopper to cope? Know Your Priorities Price is just one of the aspects where denims have expanded in the last decade. They now run the whole price point gamut from under $10 to just over $1,000 and every imaginable place in between. After all, you only get more quality the higher you go.Yet even quality has limits. There will come a point where you're just spending more and more money without getting a considerable increase in quality - the point of diminishing returns. Once you spend past that point, you'll only be paying for brand equity, the value of the label on your pants. While that's justdandy for a lot in the fashion show crowd, it's not exactly practical, especially if you're the kind of guy who's after savvy style.Before setting aside a few Benjamins for those...more

One of my best pals from University is an architect by profession. His name is John and for the first ten years after college, he made a name for himself in the construction business by integrating his designs to a modular form of housing construction. Basically, he did the IKEA way of designing houses for people at really affordable prices. I think he made a killing with his design and construction firm because he became famous for making modular housing trendy and year after year, he would make designs that were unique, aesthetic, and affordable.These days he is into deconstructing. Essentially, he buys old antique houses and piece by piece, he deconstructs them and rebuilds them as is in a property owned by him that is now making a mark in his place as a tourist attraction. Contacting him one day, he arranged for us to meet at this place where he would give me a tour.The first place he brought me was to his workshop and there I saw so many antique items that were from old houses.
