With all of the beauty products and cosmetics being marketed to men, it's really no surprise that more and more men are electing to go under the knife. However, one procedure in particular is catching on with lightening speed -- manbag (or eye-lift) surgery has more than quadrupled over the last two years in one chain of clinics, with similar increases seen across the board.

We're sure you recall our pant crush on Bonobos. How could you not, the way we went on and on about the waist and the chimps and the ninjas and the stuff. It makes us all giddy just thinking about it. In fact, if we weren't doing real guy stuff, like sitting around in our boxers, drinking beer and watching the Olympics, we'd be wearing a pair right now. That's how we roll.

The guys at Bonobos like to look good, but they're over the whole tie thing. They decided to do something else with the silk- make it into belts. They are offering "premium tie silk wrapped around a durable backing, in a colorful array of styles and colors" in limited editions. That means buy quick.

Junk Food Clothing makes t-shirts for everyone, man, woman and child, but they aren't for everyone. They are for the true connoisseur of t-shirt art. Their shirts are soft and weathered, creating a comfortable feel with a retro aesthetic. They combine eras of pop culture and original design with a result that is equal parts geek-chick and contemporary hipness.

Today, in the spirit of school (hey, school spirit!) we're looking at the prints for kids:

We found you something. It's Maryink.

Maryink is an Etsy shop that sells t-shirts, jewelry, tote bags, candle holders, and more. They are run out of Nashville and have a terrific Scandinavian fairy tale meets punk rock vibe, resulting in designs that are retro-cool and playful. According to Mary, yes, the Mary, one of their items was even inspired by Sesame Street! (Blue Russian Nesting Dolls Tote, click here.)

Here's a link to a great video about the designers, Mary and Chris.

Worn any good books lately? Want to accessorize your book report? Do you like people to think that you are well read, literate and intelligent, not to mention fashionable? Then here are the shirts for you.

The newest barber shop in NYC is a perfect mix of old school meets new school. FSC Barber, opened August 1st, is a expanded location based off the success of a not-so-secret location in the LES, a four chair babershop, at the back of a clothing store called Freeman's Sporting Club. It's also where, just down Freemans Alley, Freemans Restaurant and Bar serves a fresh, gourmet menu.

The new location (shown above) sits between the tourist friendly Meatpacking district, the West Village and Chelsea, just a two minute walk south from the 8th Avenue L stop. Part owner Sam Buffa says the location is, "trying to redefine the idea of the barbershop."

The interior features art deco and re-purposed, vintage decor. The worn, blond floor is salvaged Appalachian wood, the left sideboard is vintage Koken and the right sideboard is a recreation to match. The hair washing station rebuffs salon, white glove treatment. It's straightforward and functional with a dual spout and beautiful, vintage basin.

Rachel Comey has a stand out line of men's shoes, featuring traditional styles in updated fabrications. Surprising colors and slight tweaks in shape and fit make for a very strong collection. Shown above, oxfords on the beach without socks from the s/s '09 look book. Prices start around $150 for espadrille slip ons.

Straight from Supermarket comes Mnkr Clothes, an independent maker of "stuff."

The stuff we're focusing on consists mainly of conscience and t-shirts.

When you've got a pair of old jeans that have gone out of style, but you can't make yourself to throw them out -- there's still a way to breathe new life into them: turn them into shorts. You know, get after them with a pair of scissors just above the knee. At least, that's the way we thought that cutoffs were made.

Now that men's cutoffs are finding their way back into all sorts of fall collections, the cutting has apparently been done for you. Does that kill the whole über-casual, granola vibe for anybody else?

Don't get us wrong -- we love us some cut-off shorts. The fit is slimmer than with regular shorts, and somehow they look more comfy and more refined. It's just that buying a pair of pre-chopped designer cutoffs just seems like a waste. Is the sustainable clothing trend already over? Guess we can chalk it up to another fashion statement hijacked by savvy hipster retailers. Oh well, they still look cool.

Not much is bigger in the way of popular culture right now than superheroes, which makes geeks chic and true-believers the toast of the party (which we're finally invited to). It's time for us to blow the dust off our stash of comic books, take a deep breath and shout to the world, "I told you so!" After that it's best to drop it.

As goes popular culture, so to the world of t-shirts. While the superhero has been something of a mainstay over the years, the demand for cool shirts featuring the stars of comic and screen is now amazing (also: mighty, incredible, fantastic, spectacular, and uncanny).

If you read Esquire, and you really should, then you are familiar with the monthly feature "Ten Things You Don't Know About Women" in which a very attractive female celebrity throws out 10 chunks of insightful knowledge. In theory these nuggets of wisdom, if heeded, should have such positive results as better dates or a stronger marriage- if nothing else they should help a guy get lucky.

This month it was Andrea Savage of Step Brothers that offered up the 411 on the fairer, less hairy and better smelling sex.

Here are a few of her suggestions:

• Wedding rings need to be sparkly to remind us not to have sex with other people.
• If teenage boys knew that no matter what they look like, knowing how to dance will get them laid at every wedding they attend in their twenties, cotillions would be wait-list only.
• We don't understand your fascination with boobs, but we're happy you have it.

See, that's the kind of stuff your buddies could never tell you, no matter how many beers you have. That's wisdom, Holmes.

Here's the whole enchilada:

Well here's another way to say it: instead of telling your co-workers they stink, you can simply get them a gift certificate for the Farago Aircool Suit. At $370 it costs a pretty penny, but avoiding their bad body odor is certainly priceless. That had to be what Japanese retailers, Aoki were thinking when they launched this line of suits which were developed with Shinshu University. In addition to stopping profuse sweating, this suit also deodorizes the wearer and has anti-bacterial benefits to kill the smell before it starts. If the suit isn't enough to stop the perspiration, you can also buy the t-shirt for $13, the polo shirt for $37 and the socks for $7.80.

Ve'cel Clothing was founded by Chester Bennington of the band Linkin Park to "promote individuality and uniqueness through different forms of fashion." You know, t-shirts (and one sweet hoodie).

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were recently named by Vanity Fair as the Best Dressed Couple of 2008, which is pretty impressive since they spent a good portion of this year in hospital gowns.

According to FameCrawler the celebrity couple "beat out Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore and fashion don't Victoria and David Beckham."

Ashton Kutcher? Did Vanity Fair get Punk'd?

Speaking of the Jolie-Pitts, did you know that they had twins? It's true!
