Man Gadgets: Movie Emotion Jacket

Want to have better watching experience when you walk into movie theaters next time? As we slowly move to digital projectors and film makers start to experiment with 3D more, Philips Electronics are demonstrating one such experiment that takes the form of a jacket at the World Haptics Conference 2009 this month.

The researchers have modified a tight-fitting jacket to include 64 vibrating motors that sit against the body on the chest and arms. The motors are grouped into 4 lots of 16 with each controlled by its own processor. Even so, it can function on just two AA batteries, however, more batteries would be required to make it last through a full film.

The point of the jacket is not to act like a force feedback device making the wearer feel every punch, kick, or explosion. Instead it is meant to gauge how a viewers emotional response and immersion in what they are viewing can be enhanced.

Man Travel: Travel With Style

International business travel is an activity that is becoming more and more complex on a daily basis. You must be well prepared before you start your journey and be prepared for all eventualities.

Most important, do not carry a lot of clothing. You need only basic wardrobe and some leisure items (sports maybe) and make sure that it’s consistent with the local weather conditions as well as custom. But no matter how long the flight, you can always avoid looking like you stowed away in the cargo hold. Here, the clothes that will let you stretch your legs without short changing your style when you're 30,000 feet in the air.
  1. Men Washed Cotton Shirt

  2. The last thing you need while sleeping in-flights is a stiff collar scratching your neck. A rumpled cotton button-down helps you maintain some decorum even when you're slumping in your seat.

  3. Men Cardigan

  4. A cashmere cardigan keeps you just as insulated from the airplane's air-cond as a complimentary Scotch whiskey or two, but without the dehydration too. Unlike a pullover, the beauty of Cardigan is that it's easy to put on or take off.

  5. Soft Structured Men Jacket

  6. A deconstructed gray jacket makes an ideal outer layer for traveling. Stow it once you're in the air, then slip it on as soon as you exit the lan for a minimum hassle, put together look.


  1. Dark Denim

  2. When there won't be time for a post-flight change of clothes, choose a pair of dark jeans that will weather wrinkles, allowing you to move seamlessly from seat to your next destination.

Lastly, don't over-stuff your suitcase. Pack enough clothing for each day of your trip, plus an extra shirt or two for variety. Strike a balance and travel with style.

Business Attire - Signs of a Good Fit Part II

I am sure some of you must have been waiting this for quite sometime. First of all, I am really sorry as I was tied up with something else, and finally here I am to put down the Part II of Business Attire - Sign of Good Fit.

Jacket Waist
When you button your jacket, it should cinch tightly enough around the waist to create slightly visible tension lines.
Useful Tips: If the tension lines extend into a large, pro-nounced X-shape, mean the jacket is too tight!

Trousers Waist
The waist of dress trousers is designed to sit higher than casual pants. Nevertheless, you want them to sit comfortably, so wear them during your fitting as you anticipate doing regularly. Well, this is to ensure that you crotch is not dangling absurdly low in everyday use.

Trousers Fit
In keeping with the narrow silhouette that you've established from the waist up, your trousers should be trim throughout. Remember, is trim, but not tight! If your pants have pleats, they should not be pulling open from tension.


Trousers Break
Your pants should break once on the top of your shoe, and only once. They should be cut slightly longer at the back, so they hang roughly an inch above the ground, We shouldn't see your sock when you're walking, and neither your pants touching the floor while walking.


So here it end the Business Attire - Sign of good fit. I hope you enjoy and find this man fashion tips helpful.

Business Attire - Signs of a Good Fit Part I

You can't determine if a garment fits you if you don't know it's supposed to fit. The proper fits of your jacket, shirt, and pants are determined both relative to one another and relative to your body! Yes, your body as well. So in this coming week, I will bring all of you to look at all these three man fashion garments, jacket, shirt, and pants one by one.

Shirt Collar Fit


Your dress shirt collar should appear trim, but sit loose enought to accomodte comfort and future shrinkage. Remember! When you're trying a shirt on, a finger should fit between your neck and the collar with a bit of wriggle room to spare!
Lastly, half an inch of your shirt collar should be visible above your jacket collar!


Jacket Collar Fit

Simple, your jacket collar should lie flat against the entire circumference of your shirt collar.


Shoulder Fit

The shoulder line of your shirt and jacket should align with your body's natural shoulder line. The fit of your jacket here is especially important, if only because it is so visually apparent when it's off.


Jacket Length

Your jacket should hang just long enough to cover yoru entire ass, but still afford your legs maximum length.

Sleeve Lengths

When your arms are hanging loose at your side, your jacket's sleeve should extend to the first knuckle of thumb; where the wrist becomes the hand. Your shirt sleeve should extend a bit longer, so that half an inch of it is visible past teh jacket cuff.

So remember to visit me again for Part II of Sign of Good Fit.
