Create your own paper craft beard at the Build a Beard Workshop. I'm partial to the "Bob Ross" (pdf). It's a solid classic.

Kitschy and yet so amazing. But would these finely knitted beer sweaters captivate the discerning lens of the Sartorialist?

These obscene denim jeans are a result of a collaboration between Damien Hirst and Levis and can be yours for approximately $27,000 each.
Calling Jeff! Forget business school and get these jeans instead because these will open far more doors for you than any HBS degree.
Menswear company Jos. A. Bank's promotion during these recession times.
Buy a suit now and if you’re fired by July 1, 2009, Bank will refund your money. You can keep the suit.
Relatedly, Jet Blue has been running a similar refund program for laid-off customers.

I missed the memo on this, but apparently charm bracelets, particularly the solid gold one pictured below with the gorilla, "designed by Entourage’s Jamie-Lynn Sigler and her friend, Holly Freeman" is "is quickly joining fast cars, yachts and Malibu beach homes as the latest Alpha-Male accoutrement." It's sooo pre-recession.

This puffy collar shirt and tie combination is perfect for falling asleep at your desk when working late, so long as you don't mind looking like a more dapper version of the Michelin Man.

All you haters will probably rejoice at the news that the economic downturn has kicked around Crocs and it may not survive. Their brilliant rubbery shoe-sandal hybrids might possibly be no more.
Crocs faces an April 2 deadline to pay off $22.4 million it owes on its revolving credit line. On Thursday, the company said it is seeking an extension and is in discussions with lenders to secure a new line of credit.The company on Tuesday disclosed that its auditors had expressed "substantial doubt" about Crocs's ability to stay in business.
Relatedly, bucking the trend, Deckers Outdoor Corp has increased sales along with their share price. Oh yeah, they make Uggs and Teva sandals (Boo! Hiss!).
Read previous Crocs coverage and commentary on the brilliance of their sandals here.
A friend of mine likes mocking me because I once wore slightly offbeat socks. She called them creepy, which is an odd choice of words for someone who claims to work in the fashion industry, because those socks are Japanese ergo fashionable. Relatedly, AshiDashi, meaning "stick out your feet" in Japanese (Moye, please confirm. Kthnxbi), is a sock company started by a Japanese American (Moye, Asian high five!) that aims to bring a a bit of color and whimsy to the dull lives of people like my aforementioned friend.
I especially like these two designs, "meat" and "kick the habit" cigarette socks.

We all know Nnamdi loves his dinner deliveries from BLT Burger, but I think wearing this knit hamburger hat/mask is taking his red meat obsession a bit too far. I just fear for the day when he snaps, pulls the hat down as a mask and tries to rob the joint of ALL THEIR BURGERS. Previously.
On sale $12.99 at Fred Flare.
Mustache ski mask. $14 at American Apparel.

Stay clean AND classy with this napkin tie.
In related news, restaurant "21" Club in New York City recently rescinded their ties-required policy. Ties are however still required in the Wine Cellar, its private 20-seat dining room.
The tie drawer in the “21” cloakroom — where generations of patrons have repaired their faux-pas — is as much a part of the restaurant’s lore as its checked tablecloths and the ceiling dangling with dozens of (obsessively dusted) toy airplanes, ships and football helmets (including that of Frank Gifford). The restaurant’s publicist, Ms. Biederman, said it would continue to proffer ties to the needy who prefer them.
"I remember one night they loaned me a navy blue fly-fishing tie — you know, with the flies on it,” Mr. Hennessy recalled. “I told them I liked it — and they gave it to me! I still have it."
