Bracelets For Men - How To Do It Properly.

[JLibourel]

I am surprised I missed this thread for so long. I am even more surprised, given the general conservatism regnant on CM, that there is so much interest in and enthusiasm for male bracelets. I should have thought the question, "How to do it properly," would have been answered by a chorus of "not at all." Although there were some few answers to this effect, there was hardly a consensus.

I had rather thought bracelets for men were a relic of the hippie era. As a counterpoise to hippie beads, some people wore bracelets with the names of POW/MIAs on them. I wore neither. Some men I worked with wore bracelets made from the tail hairs of elephants. Invariably, they had shot the elephants themselves. In my more sanguinary youth, I probably would have enjoyed shooting an elephant, but I still wouldn't have worn one of those bracelets, in all probability.

In sum, I strongly dislike jewelry on men. I won't even wear a wedding ring, which I consider to be (for men) an un-American novelty. (They really only came into vogue in the post-WWII era.) However, I do recognize that in some other cultures, jewelry for men was far more commonplace. The Northmen in their heroic age were certainly a hyper-masculine lot, yet they were very big on rings and arm jewelry and such, just to give one example.

Maybe I am just being an old fogey.

By the time this thread arrived, much discussion had been had and many of the naysayers had effectively given up. Bracelets were quite the thing for a while, along with fake lapel flowers, but both fads have waned.

Just bought this one.

Would it be possible to make it smaller?

I know this thread is almost dead, but I'm going to take a shot anyway! Does anyone know where to buy a Miansai Noir Anchor on leather?



I know I can get them off the site, but shipping is ludicrous (I live in Australia). I've checked the standard go-to sites, but none seem to carry this specific one..

Contact them and ask for a stockist?

I've tried, but my standard ones like End., Mr. Porter, all don't seem to carry this specific one.. Any suggestions? It's tough shopping in Australia. Hahah

My favorite at the moment is this oxidized silver bracelet from John Hardy.

I sometimes wear a blue/green/yellow lanyard bracelet that my kids made for me. When I'm not wearing it I place it around the gear shifter of my car to remind me of them.

That one looks really cool.

I tend to wear this Omega on most days. I like it a lot and I think it's simple enough.

Where can I find bracelets with more interesting designs? Looking for something more fun and colorful for the summer.
