Leather: Good Gifts For Men

People are so fickle minded nowadays that they don't know what to give men these days. Let me tell you one thing, we are not hard to please. Gifting us is also not rocket science, a good massage, a good shirt, stuff from our favorite sport, gym equipment, I've got a ton on my list and let me tell you hunny, it's easy.

For those who think those things wouldn't work, the solution is sticking to the classics. Have you thought about giving your boy, your man or gramps some leather? Don't raise your eyebrows on me because dear, because if you didn't know... it actually feels special being gifted with it. There are belts, bags, wallets, even ones you could get at local brand McJim is good!

Their stuff? It's not that complicated. From things you could carry your gadgets in, documents, small ones for everyday wear, leather would and should work. It's got the ample amount of support, you'll even complete your outfit and get you to make your man look expensive. Mind you their shoulder bags and body bags are not that expensive. Heck you could buy a lot of it and not break the bank compared to other international brands that are of the same quality bur show up in their stores over priced. 

Men these days, they are smart, confident, always can carry themselves well because it's not about the outfit babe. You can always look good if you accessorize in the right place, right time and occasion. Again it's not rocket science, take a look at McJim's Facebook page over at Facebook.com/OfficialMcJim for example because even the men from Montreal looked good with it. It shouldn't be that hard boo!

McJim Goes Global: The Montreal Shoot

I couldn't believe my eyes seeing Filipino leather brand McJim being immortalized in shots made and done in Montreal, Canada. It's the largest municipality in Quebec Province which is home to a mix of communities of French Canadians, Brits, Asians and natives. The achitecture is a mix of gothic, bohemian, modern, industrial and even pop. They have 4 seasons and gets to extremes during summer and winter. They also got it's name from Mount Royal which sits nearby. It's population is around 6 Million and was the center of commerce up until the 70's wherein Toronto had surpassed them. Their style is primarily urban, yet very classic, very stylish and is dictated mostly by the climate, but they never forget to be fashionable all year round and this is where McJim comes in the picture. 

These were done by Models LCP, a North American based male modeling agency. With a location like the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal, it just looked so good on photos.

McJim specializes in quality classic leather, as it now stands, their wallets just looked phenomenal on these guys even if they are caucasians. Proving to most that classics can never go wrong no matter what place in the world you may be.

I owned one of these man bags and with a good suit, you'll be definitely turning heads in formal or office locations. 

Messenger bags on a light day if you want to carry around a laptop and a few files. You can work in style and go out on a date in the evenings, it looks good on you any time of the day.

I prefer long wallets like these especially because I have a lot of cards to keep. Now you can have them in one place with your money neatly placed inside. You don't have to be too rough around the edges.

A staple for every man, a good belt. Don't pull those pants each time you walk and just make your look extra snappy. It's going to make your assets stand out too at the back, ladies love that.

For business, casual, work and play, McJim can always fit your wardrobe. Make these leather items an essential part of your everyday wear and you won't get wrong. Thanks to photographer Nick Merzetti who shoots Toronto Fashion Week for immortalizing these photos. It looks so genuinely stylish and classy. Congratulations McJim!

McJim's Dreams Get Real Season 2

It was powerful, surprising, ultimately amazing to see the finalists of Dreams Get Real Season 2. It's the second installment of the successful Dreams Get Real campaign that popular leather products company McJim has launched since last year in the aims of discovering a new breed of talents and making their dreams of performing come true. The prize include Php 100,000, a talent managment contract, a full album and even a whole production of their music video.

Here's what happened during the event:

McJim Classic Leather presents Dreams Get Real... by kumagcow

In the end it was the vocal prowess and experience of Apple Deleva that got her to win the contest. She's already got several contests locally and won an international competition too. We saw her crying on stage while she was getting hounded by the press because she says "I don't want to join contests anymore because it's really hard for me and my family. It's not a joke, I hope winning this competition will now make my professional career as a singer take flight and hopefully make my dreams come true."

She's got a lot on her plate now and perhaps the prize money, the management contract, the video grant and the album she won from this particular contest will get her places just like the previous ones who also won in this competition. She might just be your next OPM star, and think about it... she's just starting!

Congratulations to the finalists and thanks to Mc Jim who has always supported the talented Filipinos and the OPM industry since the very beginning!

Dreams Get Real for McJim's Three Winners!

Who would have known that in the end of grueling eliminations and auditions that three (3) talented performers would end up as Grand Champions of McJim Classic Leather's "Dreams Get Real: The Search for the Next OPM Star!". The finals ended with an epic twist at the Teatrino Promenade in Greenhills. Now, the band Fifth Dynamics, trio JBK and Neo Domingo will fully enjoy their win and get OPM back on track as their singles have been heavily appreciated by the public. It was a decision they had to make because now, McJim will be supporting them all as they embark on achieving their dreams as OPM artists. They all have received cash prizes, gift packs from the brand and a recording + management contract plus a chance to film and release their own music videos. Isn't that awesome?

JBK proudly shows off their Critic's choice award and the Championship trophy too.

Neo Domingo, solo artist also got his own Championship trophy. A worthy winner.

This Filipino company only knows how much talent there is in the country and they are just barely scratching the surface. Chris Cahilig their adviser adds that he's so proud to see how they've already been able to encompass performing in small clubs and now they're being seen and heard even on tv and radio. They will soon have more and the guys were so thankful for the feat. This has opened so many doors and opportunities for them. They promised even better material and compositions too. I've heard they also have gotten great nods from Jim Paredes who has listened to some of their singles during this competition. 

Kalye Pop artists 1:43 has gotten thousands of fans and just like them, these guys would probably get more airplay and seen in TV stations. As we speak, 1:43 has been able to also get tapped by networks so their songs can be used in their home grown programs and shows too. You probably heard of "Hayop Sa Ganda" (Animalistic Beauty) which has been played countless times in stations here and other provinces. Some even topping the charts, pretty cool no?!

I can't wait to see these artists be appreciated with the material that they have and I say, I hope everyone would be able to appreciate what new kind of OPM music is out there. The public surely deserves the best!

McJim Announces Newest Endorser Anton Del Rosario

One of the most reputable brands of leather goods and accessories McJim finally came out and announced their latest endorser Mr. Anton Del Rosario of the Philippine Azkals. This American born Filipino football player has continually inspiring sports lovers and their fans to be the best they can be no matter what field or endeavor they choose. Having been able to play for the national team for years, he says it's but an honor to have been chosen to represent the brand. His good looks, great body and classy exterior  no matter what events I found him in makes him even KUMAGCOW approved. He's a little soft spoken but very well dressed. I guess that part is a no brainer for McJim.

Anton also tried out the products himself. He was expecting nothing spectacular since it's a local brand. Knowing how some unscrupulous manufacturers in the Philippines work he probably thought it was okay to expect less. The belts alone made him think otherwise. He couldn't believe how much care and attention to detail was put into each of these pieces. McJim presented him with stylish, great quality leather goods that is world class. It's something very surprising to have in the local market, good thing I already know that because I've been using McJim for years now.

The quality and design of their new products were also seen by my compatriots. It all looks so good from where I was. I still have my McJim bag, belt and wallet around my artillery. It still works no matter how formal or casual I need to be. They've got this guy Anton Del Rosario to prove more how the brand can encompass any age group and any style. Rugged, classy or athletic, you can count on McJim to get you whatever stylish leather accessory that is.

That is good vibes.
