I hate doing interviews. I find them too mechanical and the dialog is far too forced to be meaningful. Plus I suck at them. I always find it more comforting to shoot the shit and chat with people in normal, everyday conversation. The good people at Old Spice invited me on the Tall Ship Kajama to meet the Old Spice Guy, also known as Isaiah Mustafa. With the sun beaming down on his guests, we were...
As seen on the Gotstyle blog. One of the best things about stopovers at international airports is the opportunity to find a few great magazines, namely ones that aren’t available in Toronto. In Hong Kong, I picked up three must have magazines from around the globe. Probably one of the best magazines I’ve seen to date, The Rake is the “modern voice of classic elegance”...
Creeping through my news feed on Facebook (which I’ve heard they’ve begun removing Most Recent posts, leaving me very irrate), my ol’ buddy Michael Clarke posted a link to this infinitely cool menswear line Lova. Carried in a few stores in Toronto (sadly, not Gotstyle), this classic menswear line fits the mold to a tee. Browsing through their Fall/Winter 2010 collection, you can...
7-3 Canada. Good time to write a quick post.
I wrote a blog entry on the Gotstyle blog last week called the Definition of a Henley, in case you missed it. I’m a big henley fan and think it’s a very underrated piece in any man’s wardrobe.
That’s all for now. My brain is way too scrambled from work. Back to my Starbucks orange blossom tea.

On a business trip and afraid to wrinkle your chances for success? Valet provides a good how-to when folding up your material goods into a travel size bag. And for the record, if your suit is box cut, you might as well skip the folding and go straight for the crumpled look – you’ll look equally as unpleasing.

Beautiful (and semi-tragic) read on the Japanese style-gang, “Miyuki-zoku”. Favouring the polished Ivy-look of mens and womenswear in the 1950’s, this rebellious troop of young Japanese men took against the then-conservative clothing style of their home country, forcing the government to arrest hundreds and warn others of defying their strict style code. In their late teens...
RAMONE is a composition of non-fiction short stories and introspections by Reggie Tan.
Howdy. I first started blogging on RAMONE.ca in 2009, with a dedicated focus on men's lifestyle and stories of inebriation. Shortly after, I was listed as a top Canadian blogger, and over the next decade, I've collaborated with hundreds of notable brands.
Then I grew up. As of late, I've graduated to writing about life experiences, well-researched opinions, and hopefully a few things you might find useful.
This is my memory vault.
About me－Power user of technology. Style guy. Avid gamer. Obsessed with the Cybertruck. Lyrical poet. I like my beats bottom heavy. Madaline is ∞. Only God can judge me. INTP. Birthed in the East Coast of Canada by a pair of cool Filipino parents. Cautiously ADHD. I prefer my whisky neat with a tumbler of room-temp water. Otherwise, a pint of your best draught will do.
I'm a member of the anti-social club. Happily retired from Facebook or Instagram. My verified Twitter account was recently hacked. I do use LinkedIn for business.
