Monogram news from the folks at GQ.com:

“At a recent London event which recognizes the courage of seriously ill children, Prince Harry knelt down to talk to one of the award winners and flashed a monogrammed article of clothing accidentally. It was not a showy signet ring or a preppy, embroidered shirt sleeve but a boss-as-hell monogram made from brass shoe tacks on the bottom of his oxfords.

Let this be a lesson to us all: Not all monograms need to be in-your-face three-letter motifs. An almost hidden, single-letter monogram speaks just as loudly. Also, your shoe-repair guy could stand to step it up a notch. (For the record, he can do this for you if you just ask for it.)”
