UD | Cinco de Mayo. It's About to Get Real.

If you have trouble reading this email, go to the online version 04/29/13   In Cinc Cinco de Mayo. Mariachi. You. Big Time. You’ve got six days until Cinco de Mayo hits. And when it does, you’ll need: 1) an industrial supply of guacamole and 2) the greatest collection of mariachi band equipment of all time. Assuming you’ve got the guac, we’ve got the rest...     LUTHIER VANDROSS A Handmade Mariachi Guitar: Necessary   Meet Tomas Delgado. He’s just your average third-generation guitar luthier making mariachi guitars like his granddad taught him. In other words: the perfect thing to help you bring out your inner Antonio Banderas in Desperado. And in other other words: actually... no, that pretty much covers it.   411: Candelas Guitars, see what 80 years of luthiering looks like here     SUIT UP Made-to-Measure Mariachi Suits, Yep   You’ve got suits. Navy ones. Gray ones. But unless you have a bejeweled, made-to-measure traje with dragons embroidered on the sleeves from the most renowned mariachi tailors in the game... well, you’ll just have to play “La Cucaracha” in black tie. Which is fine the other 364 days of the year, but...   411: Sastreria Escamilla, get serious about your mariachi suiting here     MEX CONNECTION Sombreros. The Best Ones. Right Here.   A mariachi band without sombreros is no mariachi band at all. Likewise, a mariachi band without some custom-fitted, custom-embroidered and custom-colored sombreros is... well, not your mariachi band. Because that’s what you’ll get from these guys. And come on, your guests deserve it.   411: The Mariachi Connection Sombreros, the sombreros of your dreams await here     SAY LUCCHESE These Boots Were Made for Mariaching   You know Lucchese. They’ve been cobbling up cowboy boots since the days of actual cowboys. As for this one: looks just like your traditional mariachi dancing boot. It’s fashioned right in El Paso. It’s got a teakwood sole. It’s made of buttery-soft calf leather from India. And hey, cows are sacred there.   411: Lucchese Jaipur Boots, get booted up here     ALL TIED UP Don’t Forget Your Mariachi Bow   Somewhere between margaritas two and five and a half, a flaxen-haired tequila goddess will say to you, “My, that’s a nice mariachi bow you’ve got on.” And you’ll say, “Thanks, it’s hand-embroidered. Called it in from Houston yesterday.” To which she’ll respond, “Oh, I love hand-embroidered mariachi bows from Houston.” Probably.   411: Mariachi Bow, available for order by phone, complete the ensemble here UrbanDaddy is pure editorial. You can't buy love from the Daddy.
