Time-Tested, The Red Wing 6-inch Postman

+
Photo: Red Wing

The 6-inch Postman is based on a shoe that's the very definition of classic, a shoe that debuted in the '50s and was standard issue footwear for both policemen and postal workers. Even more impressive is that the shoe continued to be on sale for 46 years and sold a whopping 2,000,000+ pairs, one of the best selling models in the company's history.

Today, Red Wing has modeled a new style of that design with their 6-inch Postman, a well-constructed, black boot you simply can't go wrong with. The upper is crafted in Black Chapparal leather and sits on a cushioned crepe wedge sole.

The Bellroy Coin Fold

Photo: Bellroy

As much as we'd like to keep our wallets as light as possible, many people around the world still rely on a palm full of coins to get through the day. Now, there aren't a lot of wallet options that accommodate this need, but Bellroy has come through with a slimmer wallet option that gives you the best of everything: the slimness of a card case, the utility of a billfold, and of course, a pocket for all your change. 

If you're an international traveller then you know exactly how much the rest of the planet still loves their pocket change. Bellroy's new wallet is ideal for those scenarios with room for all your cards, cash, and a clever pouch to give you quick access to all your coins. It also has a flap to keep it all secure and it even has a sim card pocket to store an extra card for your travels. 

$100, Bellroy

Yamaha reveals its answer to the Ducati Scrambler, the XSR700

+

Yamaha is getting in on the retro-style action with a new two-wheeled machine that pays homage to the original XS650 and brings that heritage look into 2015. The bike builds on the "Faster Sons" retro concept bike that was created in collaboration with motorcycle legend, Shinya Kimura. 

What powers the bike is anything but classic, the bike sits on the latest Yamaha technology with a 700cc inline 2-cylinder engine which is complemented by a 270-degree crank and a lightweight chassis with a total wet weight that comes in at just 410 lbs. 

The bike comes in Forrest Green or Garage Metal and features two-texture leather seating, aluminum fuel tank, fenders, and headlight brackets, mesh side panels, and of course, a whole host of customization options are available. The bike will hit European showrooms in November, no word yet on when it'll come to the States.

A Knife Life Trailer

Our friend Gianluca – who directed O’Mast, among many other things – has a new documentary coming out on G. Lorenzi, a famous, near-century-old Milanese shop for knives and fine accessories. They unfortunately closed down last year, much to the dismay of many. We shot part of our second season at the store and Jesse once called it the most amazing shop he’s ever visited. 

At the moment, Gianluca is working out the details for the film’s distribution, but he tells us that he can set up a pre-order for the DVD if people are interested. I’ve already told him I’m ready to place an order and you can to by emailing him here. 

For some amazing photos of G. Lorenzi, you can visit The Gentleman.

How to Assemble the Perfect Toolbox

You should own a toolbox—that's a given. But unless you've inherited a load of tools from some handy relative, acquiring the right stuff is easier said than done. And no one wants to feel inadequate when a buddy or father-in-law asks to borrow a tool. So we called David Frane, Editor of Tools of the Trade magazine and former carpenter and furniture maker, to get his advice on how to assemble the perfect toolbox.

Saving Face: The Magical World of Facial WipesMaybe it’s because...

+


Saving Face: The Magical World of Facial Wipes

Maybe it’s because I’m a Canadian living in California, but I absolutely can’t stand being hot. For the brutal, swamp-like conditions we’ve been having lately, keeping a few facial wipes on hand can be a lifesaver. Just a few quick swipes and you’ll instantly feel refreshed and clean – not to mention, look a lot better too. 

Most facial wipes on the market are aimed at women, although my sneaking suspicion is that they’re actually pretty gender neutral. If you’re looking for something that’s specifically non-gendered, I’ve used Ursa Major. They tout having a special “four-in-one facial tonic formula,” which supposedly lifts oils off your face without throwing your skin’s pH balance. I don’t know about all that. They feel the same as any other facial wipe I’ve used, although they’re lightly scented and come in better looking packages. The downside? They’re kind of expensive. 

For something cheaper, there’s Total Refresh. They come in both scented- and non-scented options, although I find they all leave a powdery finish (which is not so great). Plus, rather than being individually packaged, they come in big packs. Great if you’re trying to be environmentally conscious, but less so if you want to carry these in your jacket pocket. 

My favorite so far is Dickinson’s, which is a basic, individually-packaged wipe that mostly relies on a mixture of witch hazel and aloe. They’re non-scented, non-powdery, and they nicely wipe oils away without leaving your skin feeling dry. Best of all, they’re affordable at $7.50 for a pack of twenty. Find them on Amazon or at your local drug store. 

Bonus: Along with being useful for the summer, these are great on long trips. Bring one along with you on a long flight, so you can freshen-up mid-way through.

Hands-On: The New Patek Philippe Nautilus In Rose Gold Reference 5711R (Live Pics, Pricing, Availability)

+

Patek Philippe's showing at Baselworld 2015 was, in my belief, its strongest in years. We saw them show absolutely stunning updates to the 5170G (black dial, oversized breguet, leaf hands make a world of difference) and 5270 (now available in rose, and no more chin on existing g models). We also saw perhaps the best watch Patek has made since the 5970P in the 5370P – a platinum split seconds chronograph with a black enamel dial. Okay, they also brought out the least Patek watch they've ever made in the 5524G but we've already covered that craziness here. One piece from Basel that we haven't talked about yet and is just now hitting authorized dealers is the new Nautilus 5711 in rose gold.

The Value Proposition: The Unbreakable Allure Of The Rado DiaStar Original

One of the interesting things about watch collecting is that it has all sorts of little archipelagos of design and mechanical innovation to be discovered, once you branch off from better-traveled territory. One of the most interesting watches of the late 20th century is, to me, also one of the less appreciated, for various reasons (more on that in a minute) and it’s a watch that says a great deal not only about shifting tastes, but also about the march of technology and how it’s affected what we expect from watches right down to the present day.

Design superstar Marc Newson's name is well known in horological circles – most significantly, for his co-founding of Ikepod. He's also done work for Jaeger LeCoultre (he created an Atmos clock in partnership with Apple's Jony Ive) and just last September, Newson joined Apple as part of Ive's design team. His interests have led him into many other fields than watches, of course – the iconic Lockheed Lounge is perhaps his most famous design, and one sold last April at Phillips for £2,434,500. However, he has also always had an interest in objects more relevant to use in daily life (his Streika cutlery collection for Alessi is an excellent example). And for Newson fans, one very enjoyable way to get your hands on his work without breaking the bank is to try out one of the Nautilus pens he designed for Hermès.

Made from a lightweight, water-repellent nylon, the Tech Shirt has a clean and crisp profile with a placket that hides the zipper for a dress shirt-style look.

If a company like Ural Motorcycles is going to make a duffle bag, they can't just make any 'ol duffle and slap their logo on it. So they've stepped up to the plate with a duffle that's as rugged as their motorcycles with their new \"Burn Bag.\" 

The bag is made in the USA from 20 oz. military M34 Tarpaulin fabric that is both water and tear-resistant. The bag's lining is made from an equally durable 1000D Cordura and all the hits of leather are made from premium Austin Calf Horween leather. Other details include a four point anchor system to attach to roof or luggage racks and apparently it can fit $893,000 in $20 bills, y'know...just in case.

There's just something about the combination of aluminum and leather that just works. Just ask Ferrari, Aston Martin, or Lamborghini. While we're not talking about an exotic car, this Passavant and Lee No. 25 Attache is just as beautiful and special. They've updated their briefcase design ever so slightly with a detachable shoulder strap, a dual-handle design, and the addition of a great new colorway, \"Port.\"

As with the other models, the Attaché has an outer shell crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum with high-density foam lining, which should be more than adequate protection for all your goods. It's also RFID-resistant, so no sneaky hackers will go Mr. Robot on you and each case is made by hand in London.

Alex Gibney places his lens on the much-celebrated and polarizing figure that was Steve Jobs: 

\"Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney (Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief) pulls no punches in his portrait of Apple founder Steve Jobs and his legacy. This probing and unflinching look at the life and aftermath of the bold, brilliant and at times ruthless iconoclast explores what accounted for the grief of so many when he died. Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine is evocative and nuanced in capturing the essence of the Apple legend and his values, which continue to shape the culture of Silicon Valley to this day.\"

Launching at the Silverstone Classic, Morgan marks 65 years of the Plus 4's production with a limited edition model built by their motorsport division, AR Motorsport. The quintessentially British car has been a favorite of enthusiasts since the '50s and its unmistakable silhouette manages to still turn heads wherever it goes. 

The special edition AR Plus 4 will be released in a limited run of 50 cars, each of which will feature 2.0L, 225-hp Cosworth engines that are tuned by their AR Motorsport engineers. It also gets a brand new suspension, adjustable shocks, a new braking system, tweaked axle ratio, and an updated chassis. 

As for the exterior, the AR Plus 4 takes those classic lines and mixes it up untrimmed and exposed aluminum that hint at the car's lightweight performance while the interior remains luxurious and plus with loads of leather and box weave carpeting. The hood and body also gets soundproofing upgrades to reduce noise and LED-lighting is featured throughout the car.

Colors in Men’s Clothing, Ranked

Objectively correct rankings for 2015.

1. Indigo blue–The king. Flattering on everyone. Deep heritage across many cultures. The color of blue jeans, big sky, the Pacific ocean, Robert Redford’s eyes. Name an item of clothing that doesn’t look good in indigo.

2. Olive drab–Cork Grips knows.

3. Mid gray

4. Navy blue–Two blues in the top 5. Wow. What a run.

5. Tobacco brown

6. Khaki

7. Black–Fast riser. Good for: knit ties, formal shoes, band shirts, leather jackets. Bad for: most suits, leather sportcoats.

8. White

9. Ivory–Could ivory overtake white? Maybe next year.

10. Charcoal gray–Lost a lot of ground to younger, hipper, lighter grays.

11. Bottle green–Ties and socks, primarily.

12. Pink

13. Stone

14. Turqoise

15. Gold

16. Red–Real, true red? Your sports car should be red, your clothes need not be. Maybe your selvage seam.

17. Nantucket red–had a nice few years but it’s over.

18. Orange

19. Coral

20. Purple

    How to Raise a Shine on Shell Cordovan

    Want to know a dirty secret? Shell cordovan – that durable and robust leather known for its luster – doesn’t stay shiny for long. It can look pretty dull after a year’s worth of wear, and afterwards, it’s hard to get that factory-fresh gleam again. 

    Readers of online menswear forums might be familiar with The Mac Method. Invented by Macarthur, a man known for his love of argyle socks and Alden shoes, it involves using a bit of polish every fifteen wears and brushing until your arms fall off. It’s hard to argue with his results, but I haven’t had much luck with the technique. 

    A Shine & Co recently held a special event at Leffot, where they treated customers to their special shoeshine services. Among those shined were the shell cordovan loafers you see above – which look like night and day after A Shine & Co. was done with them. I spoke to KeaLani Lada, one of the company’s co-owners, about how they treat shell cordovan leather:

    • Don’t Use Cream: Since shell cordovan is dense and non-porous, A Shine & Co. recommends forgoing cream conditioners. “We find it just sits on top of the material, rather than getting absorbed,” says KeaLani. “As a result, you get this dull – sometimes even sticky – finish. It makes for bad surface when you’re trying to build a shine.” 
    • Build Layers of Wax: Half of A Shine & Co’s secret is about what they don’t put on: cream conditioners. The other half is about what they do: wax polishes. “You want to slowly build multiple layers,” says KeaLani. “Apply a small amount of wax with a damp rag, and then buff to a shine. On the next layer, use about half the amount of wax as you did last time so you don’t get too much build-up.” A Shine & Co’s wax polish of choice? Saphir. 
    • Cut the Fat: Wear shell enough and you’ll start to notice white streaks forming around the creases. That’s the leather’s fat getting expressed through the surface. To clean it up, lightly dampen a rag with a small 50/50 mixture of distilled white vinegar and water. Doing so not only helps get rid of those white streaks, it also prevents the fat from spreading across your shoes – and dulling that glow. 
    • Strip it Down: Sometimes you just need to start anew. To get rid of old layers of polish and dried up conditioner, wipe your shoes down with naphtha lighter fluid. The idea admittedly sounds scary, but KeaLani assures us it’s gentle. “Just don’t use too much and don’t rub too hard. Common sense will go a long way.” 

    To get your shoes professionally shined, you can visit A Shine & Co at any of their seven locations. They have four in San Francisco and three in NYC. They also offer repairs and restoration services for all types of leather goods – from shoes to belts to bags. For those services, customers outside of San Francisco and NYC can just mail-in their stuff.

    One of the most beautiful automotive silhouettes to ever touch the asphalt celebrates its 50th anniversary this year as the Daytona Coupe gets a limited edition production run. The Peter Brock-designed masterpiece left an iconic racing legacy as it became one of the first American companies to win a FIA World Sportscar Championship and it continued to be a force to be reckoned with as it won multiple GT championships in 1964 and 1965.

    For 2015, Shelby is building 50, 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupes, which will be available in aluminum or fiberglass bodies. Each coupe can be configured with a number of options including your choice of a 289 or 427 motor and will cost $179,995 for the fiberglass model and $349,995 for the aluminum model.

    -Row a 2K properly to increase power endurance and get a guaranteed V-Shape body

    -
    -

    Rowing is hard, that's why Steve Redgrave used to renounce the coxless four after seemingly every Olympics (only to inevitably knuckle down and scoop another gold medal at the next one). More specifically the 2,000m- the distance of every Olympic event- emphasises endurance, power delivery, and mental toughness. It’s also one of the few forms of cardio that builds muscle rather than eating it away all while building a V-shaped body. A 7min 30 sec 2K row is respectable and 7 min is impressive. Here is how to get there. 

    -

    The form

    -

    Yanking at the handle like a lawnmower won’t cut it. Here’s how the pros pull.

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -

    1. The Catch

    -

    Keep your arms straight, head up and upper body leaning forward from the hips. ‘Your shins shouldn’t go past vertical,” says David Hart of rowing machine company Concept2. ‘And don’t overreach.’

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -

    2. The Drive

    -

    Start the drive by pressing with your legs. As you move back lean back slightly, then finally add the arm pull. ‘Your hands move in a straight line to and from the flywheel,’ says Hart. 

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -

    3. The Finish

    -

    ‘At the end of the stroke, your upper body should be leaning back to about 11 o’clock. Keep the handle held lightly below your ribs, and don’t “chicken wing” it- keep your elbows in.

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -

    4. The recovery

    -

    ‘Extend your arms until they’re straight, then lean forward from your hips. Once’ your hands have cleared your knees, allow your knees to bend and slide the seat forward.”

    -

    The Plan

    -

    Devised by Gym Jones coach, Pieter Vodden, this 2k- smashing strategy takes just 11 days to complete. Repeat the whole thing until your best reaches the ‘respectable’ time of 7min 30sec.

    -

    Day 1

    -

    Row for 30 sec with 90sec recovery. Start by aiming to go 150m per 30sec period and increase that by 1m per round. Take it up as far as you can- 170 is the goal.

    -

    Day 2 Rest

    -

    Day 3

    -

    Row 10 x 500m with 1 min rest. Try and hold your intended 2K ‘Split time’ pace- so if you’re shooting for a 7min 2K, you need to hit 1min 45 sec. On the last round go all out.

    -

    Day 4/5 Rest

    -

    Day 6 Warm up for ten minutes, and then row 1,000m as fast as possible.

    -

    Day 7 Rest

    -

    Day 8 Warm up for ten minutes, and then row 1,500m as fast as possible.

    -

    Day 9/10 Rest

    -

    Day 11

    -

    Warm up for 20 minutes at a slow pace, with occasional ‘power 10s’- ten hard strokes at your target 2K pace. Then row 2,000m as fast as possible.

    Hoping to steal away some marketshare from the iPad, Samsung introduces a new range of Galaxy tablets in two sizes that directly compete with the iPad Air and iPad mini. The 9.7-inch and 8.0-inch tablets boast a metal frame construction with an ultra-thin design, even thinner than that of the iPad Air 2. 

    The S2 models will feature Super AMOLED displays and a powerful chipset that includes a Octocore application processor consisting of Quad 1.9GHz + Quad 1.3GHz CPUs, which sits alongside 3GB of RAM, 32/64GB of storage, and WiFi or WiFi+LTE connectivity. 

    Other features include the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system, 8MP rear and a 2.1MP front camera, microSD storage up to 128GB, and a built-in fingerprint scanner. Both tablets are set for release next month. 

    $TBD, Samsung

    -Nutritionist Drew Price tests the anabolic diet’s claim to be a muscle-building and fat-burning diet all in one

    -
    -

    The Diet

    -

    The anabolic diet is a carb-cycling diet that’s aimed primarily at bodybuilders and strength and power athletes. It involves cycling between periods of low and high carbohydrate intake with the aim of generating optimum conditions for building muscle and burning body fat.

    -

    The Claim

    -

    The diet’s creator and author of The Anabolic Solution, Dr Mauro di Pasquale, says that by cycling your intake of fat, protein and carbs, you’ll boost your body’s levels of anabolic hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone, while increasing its use of stored fat as energy. This means you can use the diet to bulk up by building lean muscle or to reduce body fat while maintaining existing muscle mass, depending on how much food you eat. It aims to be a safe and natural way of eating building muscle instead of using drugs.

    -

    Learn about other diets for building muscle

    -

    The Method

    -

    The diet begins with a low-carb phase that lasts between six and 12 days, during which your body adapts to using fat as its primary fuel source. It takes your body about 4 weeks to adapt to the diet. This means you keep your limited supplies of muscle glycogen in reserve for when you really need them – during training. After the low-carb phase the diet proper begins, and this involves ‘cycling’ five to six low-carb, high-fat, high-protein days each week with one or two days of eating mostly carbs.

    -

    The Reality

    -

    The initial low-carb adaptation phase – where you’re purposely running down your stored carb supply – is very tough physically, and my concentration and energy levels really suffered. But once my body had switched to using fat as its primary food source, I felt great and full of energy.

    -

    My food choices during the week were fairly meat-heavy, and I was free to eat fatty foods such as cheese and butter, so I never felt too restricted or hungry. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that Di Pasquale condoned a degree of drinking and partying during the ‘high-carb’ weekend days – most booze and junk food is carbohydrate-heavy, after all – which made it a lot easier to maintain a decent social life and helped me to stay strict and motivated during the week.

    -

    The Result

    -

    The amount of weight I was lifting in training didn’t increase spectacularly over the month, but it didn’t drop during the low-carb days either. However, I did notice a dip in cardio performance during the week as my body ran out of glycogen.

    -

    I saw small but significant improvements in body composition, gaining half a kilogram of muscle and dropping a kilogram of body fat. My cholesterol profile improved too – all while eating cheese, bacon and pancakes!

    -

    The Verdict

    -

    Vegetarians and people who do a lot of cardio training or team sports will struggle on the low-carb days, but if you’re primarily focused on weightlifting or bodybuilding and you’re happy eating plenty of meat and fish, this diet could produce excellent results – provided you can deal with the initial adaptation phase.

    Photo: Gooding & Co.

    Just when you thought you've seen all the incredible cars that are hitting the auction block next month in Monterey, Gooding & Co. drops a bombshell of three of the most rare and special Ferraris in the world: the 1961 250 GT SWB California Spider, a 1957 410 Superamerica Series II Coupe, and a 1965 500 Superfast.

    At the top of the list is the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider which is estimated to go for a whopping $16-$18,000,000 and at this auction they'll be presenting a 3095 GT chassis that is one of the 37 covered-headlight SWB models.


    Next up is a '57 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Series II Coupe, a chassis 0717 SA example once owned by HRH Mohammad Shah Reza Pahlevi of Iran. The car features a red roof and a Grigio Metallizzato exterior and under the hood is a Aurelio Lampredi-derived 4.9-liter V-12. Estimates for this 410 are $5,000,000-$6,000,000. 

    Last but not least, a 1965 Ferrari 500 Superfast, our favorite of the bunch and wrapped in an immaculate navy blue exterior. Like the previous Ferrari, this model was also under royal ownership originally purchased brand new by Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan. This one is expected to go for $3,000,000-$3,400,000.

    Photo: Tesla

    Tesla grabbed headlines when it launched the new P85D model with its all-wheel-drive system and an "Insane" mode that takes the car from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Today, Elon Musk is bringing an even faster mode to the car and it elevates the Model S into supercar territory with what Tesla is calling "Ludicrous mode."

    Available as an option on the new top-of-the-line Model S P90D, the mode will allow the car to reach 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, which is fast enough to outrun a Ferrari 458 Italia. For it to achieve that speed, the car gets a new 90 kWh battery and a total driving range of 300 miles, when you stick to the speed limit, of course. Customers with a P85D can also head to a local Tesla dealer and get the upgrade for $5000.

    Most flashlights you see out there are of the EDC sort, over-engineered, blacked-out, and ready for field duty. That's nothing to complain about, but for many of you, you don't need something that belongs more on Batman's utility belt than your outdoor toolkit. 

    Vipp's Flashlight takes that into mind with inspiration from the outdoors, but not overtly so. Simple and effective in its design with a throw of 85 meters from its LED light and a minimalist solid steel housing. Nothing more to complicate things, just a beautifully simple flashlight.

    -See how Jake Gyllenhaal transformed his body for his latest film Southpaw

    -
    -

    Jake Gyllenhaal takes training dedication to a whole new level as he transforms his body for his latest film, Southpaw. The film tells the compelling story of Billy ‘The Great’ Hope, reigning light heavyweight boxing champion of the world (played by Gyllenhaal). Hope seemingly has it all with an impressive career, a beautiful and loving wife (Rachel McAdams), an adorable daughter and a lavish lifestyle.

    -

    But it all comes crashing down: tragedy strikes, causing his lifelong manager and friend (Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson) to leave him behind, and Hope hits rock bottom. In desperate need of a comeback he turns to an unlikely saviour at a run-down local gym: Tick Willis (Forest Whitaker), a retired fighter and trainer to the city’s toughest amateur boxers. With his future riding on Willis’s guidance and tenacity, Hope enters the hardest battle of his life as he struggles with redemption and to win back the trust of those he loves.

    -

    Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer) wanted Gyllenhaal to give it his all and decided to go along for the journey with him. Get a behind-the-scenes look at their regimen and Gyllenhaal’s physical transformation as seen in the film.

    -Check out Gyllenhaal's other body transformations

    Southpaw will be released across the UK and Ireland by Entertainment Film Distributors on 24th July 2015

    Photo: Hickoree's

    Any clothing designer will tell you how difficult it is to simply even just think about getting into the denim business let alone making your own. So any attempt these days better be something special and the Hill-Side's new pair of selvedge definitely hits the mark. 

    Amongst the list of impressive details you'll find a 14.5 oz double-slub red-line selvedge from Okayama, Japan where the jeans are handmade and cut in a slim-straight fit. Inspired by jeans from WWII, these feature minimal branding and subtle touches like a painted laurel-leaf military waist button, pocket bags made using fabric from the Hill-Side's SS15 colleciton, and unmarked copper rivets. 

    $198, available in-store and online at Hickoree's

    Photo: Red Wing

    The 6-inch Postman is based on a shoe that's the very definition of classic, a shoe that debuted in the '50s and was standard issue footwear for both policemen and postal workers. Even more impressive is that the shoe continued to be on sale for 46 years and sold a whopping 2,000,000+ pairs, one of the best selling models in the company's history.

    Today, Red Wing has modeled a new style of that design with their 6-inch Postman, a well-constructed, black boot you simply can't go wrong with. The upper is crafted in Black Chapparal leather and sits on a cushioned crepe wedge sole.

    Photo: Bellroy

    As much as we'd like to keep our wallets as light as possible, many people around the world still rely on a palm full of coins to get through the day. Now, there aren't a lot of wallet options that accommodate this need, but Bellroy has come through with a slimmer wallet option that gives you the best of everything: the slimness of a card case, the utility of a billfold, and of course, a pocket for all your change. 

    If you're an international traveller then you know exactly how much the rest of the planet still loves their pocket change. Bellroy's new wallet is ideal for those scenarios with room for all your cards, cash, and a clever pouch to give you quick access to all your coins. It also has a flap to keep it all secure and it even has a sim card pocket to store an extra card for your travels. 

    $100, Bellroy

    Photo: Wallpaper

    Well, you probably shouldn't mix cognac and cycling in general, but we couldn't ignore just how beauty of designer and cyclist Yorgo Tloupas's flask created with one of the oldest cognac houses in the world, Martell. The idea here isn't a flask for your bike, but combines a water bottle with a special reservoir for Martell's finest beverages. 

    Created for Wallpaper's annual Handmade collection, the chrome housing is where you'll find the water portion of the flask which is crafted in polished steel and for the cognac a screw in glass portion is fitted on the bottom which also adds a nice contrast against the chrome. 

    Visit Wallpaper to find out more about the flask and the rest of this year's Handmade collection.

    Marilyn Monroe was no stranger to taking photos, but most people never saw her in private. Today, we decided to offer a visual treat, rounding up some photos that aren't as well known. Scroll through for shots of the siren relaxing at home, trying on costumes, and getting lost in a book.

    Leave your buddy's Cessna in the dust with a Martin Jetpack or hyrbid airship.



    image

    The most obvious difference is in the last – that wooden form over which leather is pulled in order to give the material shape. The C&Js are made on the company’s 341 last, which features a nice, almond-shaped toe. I like that it has a conservative sense of style without being overly bulbous. 

    The Saint Crispin’s, on the other hand, are built on their much sleeker Classic last. Despite how things appear in the photographs, these actually aren’t any longer than the C&Js. The body and toe box are just narrower, giving the boots a slimmer and sleeker profile. And surprisingly, although they fit much snugger than the Brecons, they’re just as comfortable. 


    image
    image


    Some of the difference can be accounted for in the welting process. The Brecons are machine-welted through a Goodyear machine, while the Saint Crispin’s have been hand assembled. This allows Saint Crispin’s to trim the sole much closer to the uppers, as they don’t have an exterior welt. As a result, the sole on the Saint Crispin’s almost disappears from view when seen from above, while the C&Js have a noticeable ridge that sticks out from the perimeter.  


    image
    image


    There’s also the waist treatment, which on the Saint Crispin’s, gives the boots a more sophisticated sense of shaping than a pair of shoes that only relies on a sleek last. Here, the waist curves in, so that it hugs the arch of the foot. This allows the ball of the boot to look a little more dramatic as it sweeps out. The waist on the C&Js, on the other hand, is just as you’d find on any Goodyear welted shoe. It curves in, but not nearly as deep or high.

    You can really appreciate the difference when you view the shoes from below. The waist on the Saint Crispin’s is almost a third of the size smaller than the C&Js. Also, there’s no visible stitching, making this something like a rubber version of a channeled sole. 


    image


    This isn’t to knock the C&Js, of course. In fact, I count them as some of my favorite boots. The slightly more conservative shaping makes them easier to pair with a wide range of trousers – from dressy flannels to casual jeans. If you needed a versatile pair of shoes, you’d be hard pressed to find a better model. 

    The Saint Crispin’s, on the other hand, are much more striking. And although the basic stylistic details are the same – chukka boots made from dark brown, textured leather and built on studded, Dainite soles – they couldn’t be more different. They only really feel right under slim, tailored trousers, but hot damn – they look so much better when they’re worn. 

    Incidentally, these were bought through M Classic, which I was introduced to thanks to Gentlemen’s Footwear. They were kind enough to have these boots remade after Saint Crispin’s attached the wrong sole (they used a double leather sole instead of Dainite). If you’d like to buy the original boots, they’re available at M Classic for a slightly discounted price. The size is listed as 7.5F but I find these to fit my 9D feet. Should you have any concerns, you can contact M Classic. The guys there provide excellent service and I can’t recommend them enough.

He never missed a week. Mr Mul (born in 1932) made more than 1,000 flights over a period of 20 years.

    - -Travel is what you make it. In the early days of my travel quest to visit every country, I would get defensive when people asked why I only stayed in most countries for a relatively brief period of time. Unlike this guy, I left the airport and usually spent several days in a place—but still, I totally get why someone would love flying for the sake of flying.

    -The August issue of Men's Fitness is on sale now, and it's a corker if we do say so ourselves

    -
    -

    There was a time when a footballer with a six-pack was a rare, mythical creature, like a golfer with a decent bench press, a rugby player who looked good in a compression top or a darts player who could climb stairs without wheezing. These days it’s not exactly the standard – yet, anyway – but players who look like Spartan warriors are more and more common, as the brutal Darwinism of modern football forces teams to look for every possible edge. 

    -

    Our august cover star is Jack Wilshere, a prime example of this modern phenomenon. A product of Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal revolution – which introduced periodised training, plyometrics and proper nutrition before almost anyone else to create the strongest, leanest players in the Premier League – Wilshere takes training seriously, with a six-pack that’s a side effect of a core regime laser-targeted at midfield efficiency. 

    -

    You’ll also meet Mat Fraser, tipped to be crowned the world’s fittest man in 2015, Whitney Miller, a former Miss USA who’s turned her attention to choking people unconscious, and ten other men who exemplify modern sporting success. But because not everyone has access to hi-tech training facilities and tailored nutrition, we’ve also included a training plan that you can do with a £40 weight kit to make elite-level gains, and some simple ways to reset your brain in less time it takes to have a tea break. 

    -

    We hope you enjoy it, and remember: Tiger Woods reportedly benches 140kg. Though you’d probably still beat Phil Taylor in a stair running contest

    War Craft: Jewelry Made from Vietnam Era Bombs

    I’ve been looking for a new necklace for a while now. My friend Kyle has one with a silver twig on it, which I’ve always liked. It’s made by Ransoun, but unfortunately – although the company’s website is still up – they’re no longer in business. I’ve also look to Maison Margiela, a company known for their simple and deconstructed designs. Some seem nice enough, although others are confusingly expensive ($400 for what effectively looks like a mailbox key?). 

    Recently, I came across Article22, a company that’s turning Vietnam Era bombs into homeware and accessories. Their story starts in the 1960s, when Laos was embroiled in what’s now known as The Secret War. In an effort to control communism in the region, the US military dropped about 1.5 million tons of explosives on the South East Asian state, making it the most heavily bombed country per capita in history. Unfortunately, an estimated third of those ordinances didn’t exploded, which means about 75 million unexploded bombs are littered throughout the countryside. Many of those are still killing people today. 

    Article22 is taking metals from some of those Vietnam Era bombs; melting them down; and turning them into bracelets, necklaces and spoons. Most of the production is done in Laos, and a portion of their profits is donated to organizations working to clear the land of explosives. 

    I bought two of their necklaces. One is a lightweight, scrap aluminum piece that comes on a thin, 24″ silver chain. Then there’s a “shard” design that’s also made from scrap aluminum, but has been finished with precious and semi-precious metals in order to give it some weight and shine. The second is a bit nicer, I think, and at the moment, is available at 50% off ($150 to $175, depending on the metal you select, which is just $50-75 more than the Story ID Tag model). If you need longer or shorter chains, the company can provide them upon request. 

    Elisabeth, one of the co-founders of the company, tells me that they’re planning to release another men’s collection later this year. Prices will likely be higher, as they rarely have sales that go this low, but at least a portion of your money is going towards a good cause.

    -Expert tips and targeted exercises to keep you fit during rugby season

    -
    -

    People often think that rugby – whether it’s union, league or sevens – is dangerous. Physiotherapist Nell Mead gives tips to help prevent common rugby injuries. She served in the Army for 14 years, including seven seasons working with forces rugby teams. She now runs Victory Health and Performance in London.

    -

    ‘There have been some horrific and well-publicised cases, but in reality the risk of catastrophic injury is lower than when you cross the road or travel in a car,’ says Mead. Stats show the most common injuries in training are far less serious – and there are simple steps you can take to reduce the risk.

    -

    Muscle strain

    -

    ‘The hamstrings and the gastrocnemius muscles of the calves both cover two joints, making them doubly vulnerable to strains and tears in contact and non-contact plays.’

    -

    Prevent it

    -

    ‘Glute bridges and eccentric calf raises will keep your muscles flexible and strong. For the bridges, contract your glutes as you raise and lower for three sets of 20 reps. For the calf raises, stand on a step on the balls of both feet. Push up, then take one foot away and slowly lower your other heel as far as you can. Repeat on the other foot, building to three sets of 15 reps on each leg.’

    -

    Shoulder damage

    -

    ‘Most people who’ve played rugby consistently will have suffered some form of shoulder trauma, from inflamed ligaments to dislocations, especially when tackling opponents.’

    -

    Prevent it

    -

    ‘I use Torq-Kings – similar to abs wheels for each hand, but dumbbells also work – for shoulder strength and control. Start in a press-up position on your knees and, keeping your arms completely straight, roll each hand out at a 45° angle as far as you can under control, then reverse. Aim for three sets of ten reps, working to take your knees off the floor and to change the angle to 90°.’

    -

    Injury proof your shoulder

    -

    Lumbar spine injury

    -

    ‘Tackles, hard landings and scrums can all compress the spine’s discs temporarily. Unless you stretch and decompress your spine afterwards, the damage can build up and leave you with long-term disc problems and pain.’

    -

    Prevent it

    -

    ‘You can decompress your spine and increase the flow of fluid around the discs by using a yoga brick. Alternate lying on your back and rocking your knees towards your chest for 30 seconds, with placing the yoga brick under your pelvis and draping yourself over it for 30 seconds, relaxing as much as possible. Do this three times before bed.’

    -

    Prevent lumbar spine injuries

    -

    Ankle sprain

    -

    ‘Ligaments contain proprioceptors – nerve cells that tell your brain where each part of your body is – and the more acutely tuned these proprioceptors are, the faster you’ll react to being off-balance and reduce the risk of sprains.’

    -

    Prevent it

    -

    ‘Improve your proprioception with a wobble cushion – a circular cushion filled with air. Aim to stand on it for 60 seconds with your eyes open. Next, go for 30 seconds with your eyes closed. When that becomes easy, do it on one leg.’

    -

    Improve ankle mobility

    -

    One-kit Fix

    -

    66Fit Massage Ball

    -

    £6 66fit.co.uk

    -

    ‘Portable and cheap, the massage ball is the unsung hero of the recovery world,’ says Mead. ‘Most injuries occur when muscles are tight rather than weak. Put the ball on the floor underneath you, let it dig into any tender and tight muscle, put as much weight on it as you can manage, then relax and let it sink into the tight muscle until you feel it relax.’

    -Use the mental state ‘flow’ to get better results in the gym without the grind

    -
    -

    ‘Flow’, to the uninitiated, sounds like a term dreamed up by new-age gurus to describe what happens at a particularly productive Rainbow Rhythms class. It's not, it's a state of mind that will get you better results in the gym.

    -

    Technically, it's defined as an ‘optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best’. According to Steven Kotler, creator of the Flow Genome Project ‘concentration becomes so laser-focused that everything else falls away. Action and awareness merge. Our sense of self and self-consciousness completely disappear. And, of course, all aspects of performance are incredibly heightened.’

    -

    This, of course, is not news to top performers around the world, who’ve been harnessing the state through workouts since before the term was coined. Below you’ll find a selection of workouts designed to harness the flow state and increase your work capacity – without the grind.

    -

    7 ways to improve concentration

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Core strength and agility

    -

    Before you build, you need firm foundations. Ginástica Natural, developed by surfer and Brazilian jiu jitsu expert Alvaro Romano, fuses moves from both disciplines into a nonstop workout that’ll challenge both your core and your co-ordination. Do this entry-level flow at least once a week.

    -

    Kickback

    -

    Starting from standing, dive forward onto your hands, bringing your leg high up behind you. Bring your foot down and go straight into the next move.

    -

    Lunge twist

    -

    With one leg forward, feeling the stretch, twist to face your leading knee and bring the hand on that side into the air. Hold it, then step into the same stretch on the other side.

    -

    Roll

    -

    From the lunge, pass the arm opposite your forward leg in front of your body, and roll onto that side. While on the floor swing one leg to your and and then come back up into a crouch.

    -

    Cossack

    -

    From your crouching position, bring one leg straight up in the air as if you’re kicking an opponent above you. Hold, then repeat on the other side.

    -

    Hollow sit to press-up

    -

    From the cossack, lower yourself to the ground, hold briefly and then spin your legs around behind you, coming into a press-up.

    -

    Pop-up

    -

    From the press-up position, lower to the floor and then explode up, as if you’re jumping onto a surfboard.

    -

    Do the best workout for your core

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Power and Endurance

    -

    You don’t need weights to build a physique worthy of an MMA fighter. Strikeforce veteran André Galvão combines gymnastic moves and animal drills into a cardio-sapping circuit. Do them for five nonstop minutes at the end of your workout.

    -

    Alligator Walk

    -

    Bring one knee up as high as possible next to the elbow on the same side, keeping your hips as low as you can. Lower into a press-up, then repeat on the other side so you ‘crawl’ forward, gator style.

    -

    Gorilla Walk

    -

    From a squatting position, walk your hands forward on the floor until you’re stretched almost full-length, then sit back on your haunches briefly and explode forward into a jump, landing with your feet by your hands. Repeat five times.

    -

    Macao

    -

    It’s Portuguese for ‘monkey’. Sit with your hands and the soles of your feet on the floor, then bridge up, bring your arm behind your head and move on to your toes. Experts would move into a flip – you should hold the position for a second, lower and repeat on the other side.

    -

    Technical Stand

    -

    Fighters use this to get up efficiently, but it’s also a core-bracer. After sitting down when you finish the macaco, fold one leg under yourself and plant your other heel on the ground, pressing your weight through it to stand up.

    Mobility and Speed

    -

    Functional muscle is about movement, not size. Build both mobility and speed with these moves inspired by free running and calisthenics.

    -

    Squat to all fours

    -

    Keeping your weight on your heels, do a squat. Staying controlled, lean forward onto all fours. Go straight into the next move.

    -

    Dive Bomber Push-up

    -

    Starting on all fours, dive your face towards the floor, trying to keep as low as possible. At the end of the move, bring your chest up.

    -

    Mountain Climber

    -

    Without taking your hands off the floor, pop up into a press-up position and then bring one knee forward, then the other.

    -

    Sit-out

    -

    Starting on all fours, take one hand off the floor and ‘kick’ the opposite leg through to where it used to be.

    -One of the godfathers of drum and bass, Goldie explains why yoga is his new passion

    -
    -

    You're into yoga, has that always been the case?

    -

    Not at all. I used to work out a lot in the gym and got pretty hench, but I didn’t focus on my core, breathing, or mind state – all the things that make yoga such an incredible approach to exercise. If anthing, I probably used to leave the gym feeling more aggro and pent-up than when i arrived. Now, with yoga, it's the complete opposite.

    -

    How did your first session pan out?

    -

    The first time I went I just kept drifting out of the zone. I couldn’t hack it. It was too much for me and I even walked out of the room, which shows what sort of a negative place I was in at the time. I could go to the gym with my friends and it was much easier, but I needed to front up to how I wanted to be and the hard work it would take to achieve that. Over the last few years, I've mellowed out a bit so going to my first session for a while I was far more open-minded and receptive to yoga's underlying principles.

    -

    How has yoga postively impacted you?

    -

    It’s been a bit of a breakthrough for me. Though the physical side is proving really beneficial in terms of keeping me limber and feeling fresh, it’s more of a mental thing. The gym can be an aggressive environment and I’m quite an aggressive guy, so going was fuelling that as opposed to calming me down. I don’t care about the past anymore either, I believe in adapting your lifestyle and accepting your demons. It’s been all about shedding skin and starting afresh.

    -

    If someone had suggested yoga while you were going to the gym what would you have said?

    -

    I would have said it’s not for me, but fitness has changed so much recently with new techniques, routines and exercises that it’s no longer just about heavy weights and working on specific muscles, it’s also about core strength and a holistic approach to health. People are getting into different sports too, such as cycling and swimming, whereas back in the 90s it seemed to just be that guys lifted weights and girls did aerobics, and that was about it.

    -

    How does yoga help you to cope with the manic lifestyle of a DJ?

    -

    Living in the music environment can be pretty toxic. When I did drugs in the earlier stages of my career I didn’t really know what it was doing to me. Yoga brings so much clarity. I now get so much work done because of it and I never thought I’d say it, but it really has rewired me.

    Brooklyn - a place where dreams are made and slick apartments ooze manly persona. Case in point, the latest living space penned by Ukrainian design studio YoDezeen. Slated to be built in New York, the apartment features some lavish use of grey, floor to ceiling curtains, raw brushed steel and exposed brick for an overall brooding persona without the whole serial killer feel. This is one space we could definitely get used to with minimal lighting.

    Photo: Outerknown 

    Kelly Slater's latest focus isn't winning another surfing championship, the famed surfer has spent the last couple of years building a new menswear company with the aim to improve supply chain conditions and create great looking, sustainable products. The end result is Outerknown, a clean-cut line of stylish menswear pieces that brings together a taste for fashion, travel, and of course, surf. 

    One of the key features in the line is their use of Econyl, a nylon yarn that is created from pre and post-consumer waste. The material is at the core of their Evolution Series collection which includes tailored bombers, insulated jackets, and board shorts. Some of other favorites include a beautiful top coat called the "Crossing Coat" which is made from regenerated wool and their "Jetlag" crew neck sweaters made from baby alpaca and organic cotton. 

    See more highlights from the collection in our gallery below and shop the styles today at Outerknown.com

    Yamaha is getting in on the retro-style action with a new two-wheeled machine that pays homage to the original XS650 and brings that heritage look into 2015. The bike builds on the "Faster Sons" retro concept bike that was created in collaboration with motorcycle legend, Shinya Kimura. 

    What powers the bike is anything but classic, the bike sits on the latest Yamaha technology with a 700cc inline 2-cylinder engine which is complemented by a 270-degree crank and a lightweight chassis with a total wet weight that comes in at just 410 lbs. 

    The bike comes in Forrest Green or Garage Metal and features two-texture leather seating, aluminum fuel tank, fenders, and headlight brackets, mesh side panels, and of course, a whole host of customization options are available. The bike will hit European showrooms in November, no word yet on when it'll come to the States.

    It’s on Sale: Steven Alan Sample Sale

    Steven Alan remains one of the coolest American retailers online, even though most of what they sell is their decent though rarely outstanding house brand, which is like a slightly more exclusive J. Crew. Right now, they’re running one of their “sample sales” (mostly old stock, not samples, per se) and many items from the house brand and lines like Arpenteur and United Arrows Beauty and Youth are discounted deeper than 50%. The trick for me is sorting the stock by designer A-Z, and scanning the non-Steven-Alan stuff (sorry, Steven Alan?). Check out this Arpenteur olive drab chore coat, Filson waxed Cruiser, Beauty and Youth “shaggy” sweaters (size up), lots of Steven Alan shirts, Engineered Garments polka dot shorts, marled Anonymous-ism socks, and New Balance CRT300 sneakers.

    You Are a Target Market: Modern Bachelorhood and Men’s Media

    Manisha Aggarwal-Schifellite, writing in the Awl, details (critically) the history of the bachelor, from his enshrinement in law in the 1700s to his rise in post-WWII America in men’s magazines like Esquire and Playboy, which dished out clothing advice as well as tips for entertaining, etc. at a time when men were wrestling with their roles in society, at work, and at home.

    Esquire‘s portrayal of bachelorhood was based on looking and -acting the part of the swinging ladies’ man, even though most of the -magazine’s readers were married. Esquire’s idealized postwar -bachelor had no obligations outside of his own desire for women and -luxury products (often considered one in the same). He bought his own -clothes, drove his own car, and took solo vacations to exotic places.

    For the most part, the single man is still presented in Esquire as the one who has the most control over his life, and as a result, is the most masculine one can aspire to be.

    Aggarwal-Schifellite points out how men’s publications intentionally and carefully make certain tasks, like shopping and cooking, that might be considered unmasculine, palatable to readers, often by framing them as things women do but that men can do better. I read and enjoy a lot of men’s magazine writing, current and “vintage,” but it’s good to be aware when you’re being condescended to. Read more here.

    Repairing Alden’s Shell Cordovan Boots

    Although we all know well-made shoes can last for decades with the occasional resoling, it’s always amazing to see the before and after pictures of a shoe repair. These beat up and near-destroyed shell cordovan Alden boots were brought into Moulded Shoe earlier this year. They looked like they’ve been through a war – the soles were worn past their corkbed and the uppers were heavily scratched and discolored. 

    Rafael, whose family has owned the store since the 1940s, tells me that when the soles have been this worn down, they repair the shoes on one of their custom lasts. “The problem is that we have to completely deconstruct and rebuild the sole, which means when you take off the bottom, the uppers are loose – like a sock,” he explains. “So before we rebuild the bottom, we have to put the uppers on one of our custom lasts in order to give them some structure.” 

    Next, the uppers were restored by stripping away the dirt and old layers of polish. Then new creams and waxes are layered before the shoes are buffed out. “Shell cordovan is a tough leather, so it can last for decades. With something like this, you just need to rebuild the luster.”

    What else can they do for shoe repairs? “Pretty much anything,” says Raphael. “We repair damaged speed hooks; patch up holes in heel pads; replace soles. We can even change a sole from leather to crepe or Commando. The only question is whether the uppers are in good enough condition to warrant a repair job. If the leather is cracked, sometimes a customer might be better off just getting new shoes.” 

    You can visit Moulded Shoe in NYC at 10 East 39th Street. For those outside New York City, they’ll also take mail-ins.

The quest to find the next Protein Dynamix™ ambassador at the BodyPower 2015 expo saw some of the best amateur physique athletes in Britain showing off their impressive bodies, but Deke’s passion and determination to inspire his friends and family with his dedication to training saw him emerge triumphant. A committed family man with a full-time job and a promising music career, Deke proved that you don’t have to work in the fitness industry or be a PT to get a body fit to grace Men’s Fitness.

    -

    Class act

    -

    Having won the competition, Deke will now become part of a growing team of Protein Dynamix™ ambassadors who promote the brand’s ‘Best in Class’ range and demonstrate its values at events and in advertisements and other marketing opportunities. He will also receive a fully-fledged sponsorship, which includes a free supply of Protein Dynamix™ supplements to help him maintain and even improve his already outstanding physique.

    Keys to success

    -

    Deke attributes his impressive physique to structured training, pinpoint nutrition and a well-balanced schedule

    -

    1. Split your training

    -

    ‘I train six days a week, using a bodybuilding-style body part split,’ Deke says. ‘Typically I train my back on Monday, my abs and shoulders on Tuesday, my chest on Wednesday. Thursday would be legs and Friday would be arms, then on Saturday I’ll do an all-round touch-up day. I take Sunday off as a rest day. I tend to use a lot of supersets and drop sets to help get as much volume into my workouts as possible. For some people doing four sets of 12 reps for every exercise would be plenty, but for me it’s just not enough.’

    -

    2. Nail your nutrition

    -

    ‘I’d guess around 80% of the results I’ve had are due to my nutrition – it’s definitely the most important thing. Understanding the science behind how your body uses carbs and fat and protein is crucial. You can train as hard as you like, but if your diet’s not on point, you won’t get anywhere. Keeping your intake of sugar and unhealthy fats down and eating plenty of protein is a great place to start, then you need to adjust your carb intake – either increasing it if you want to build muscle or lowering it if you’re trying to burn fat. Salmon with sweet potato and steak with brown rice are some of my favourite meals.’

    -

    3. Find the right balance

    -

    ‘I work a full-time nine-to-five sales job and I’m also a musician – I do alternative R&B fused with a bit of hip-hop – plus I’m a family man with a partner, a two-year-old son and a daughter on the way, so finding the time to train requires organisation and discipline! To make things easier I try to do my workouts first thing in the morning. Now that I’m a Protein Dynamix™ ambassador I’m looking forward to doing more fitness modelling too, so things are only going to get busier, but my aim is always to find a healthy balance with everything in life.’

    -
    -
    -
    -

    When it comes to supplements, it pays to invest in the best, but knowing which products to choose can be tricky. To make things simple, Protein Dynamix™ has had its ‘Best in Class’ products tested against other leading brands, and these can now officially be named as the ‘Best in the UK’. Standout products from the range include DynaPro™ Anytime, which contains more protein than any other blend in the UK, and DynaBar™, which has been officially voted the UK’s best-tasting protein bar.

    Our Beloved Sponsors

    Put This On is made possible thanks to the support of our sponsors, so twice a month, we like to give them a special shout out. We have a new one this month – Private White VC, a UK company that specializes in classic outerwear. They have an end-of-season going on right now, but first, a quick word about our other supporters.

    Ledbury just released a new collection of summer travel shirts. Designed for the heat and summer vacations, they have playful designs that keep you feeling and looking cool. This Renata Printed Pique, for example, features a grey palm print that adds a little punch without going too Tommy Bahama, while the Clyne Plaid is made from a loosely woven cotton designed to look a little broken-in.

    The Hanger Project is having an end-of-season sale. Merola gloves, Drake’s ties, and Inis Meain sweaters are all available at 50% off. Included are some Drake’s grenadines starting at $85.

    Speaking neckwear, Chipp has nine colors in their array of Matka silk ties. Made from a loose basketweave and slubby silk yarns, these add a playful, summery texture to your cotton and linen jackets. Also, a little teaser: next month they’re coming out with some Dupioni silk ties, for those who want even more summer neckwear options. 

    Next, Gustin has some projects this week for selvedge oxford cloth button downs. Made from Japanese selvedge fabrics, these come in white, blue, and pink. 

    Lastly, our thanks to Proper Cloth and Private White VC. Proper Cloth just introduced their long sleeved, Italian-made polo shirts, which you can use to help dress down a sport coat. Meanwhile, Private White VC is holding their end-of-season sale, where you can find things such as waxed cotton bombers and Ventile raincoats available at 50% off. In addition to their Manchester-made Private White VC products, they’ve also added some British brands such as Cheneay, Sunspel, and Inis Meain to their sale section.

    -Can fitness apps help you lose weight and beat your PB? MF's Freddy Wichert investigates

    -
    -

    Like many 30-somethings, I’m dangerously close to developing a ‘dad bod’ despite not having any offspring to show as an excuse. I cycle to work, go for the occasional run, and six months ago, signed up to the gym. I took my complimentary PT session and came away with a simple workout and then, unsure of what to do next, followed the same plan to the letter for months. Progress and motivation quickly dissipated. At this point I turned to my smartphone.

    -

    I’m not the only one seeking digital alternatives. A 2014 study found that 60% prefer to use their smartphone to track health and fitness over listening to music. Research is raw, but a recent Australian study found that fitness apps, including Nike Training Club and Gorilla Workout Free, are just as effective as group cycling (spinning) for burning calories. Admittedly the same study found that one in three people stop using apps because they’re too hard.

    -

    -
    -
    -
    -

    -

    Then I found something that seemed ideal. Freeletics is an online and in-app tool that promises to deliver a comprehensive, intuitive fitness programme to get you in shape. Founded in Munich in 2013, Freeletics offers an alternative to crowded gyms and expensive personal trainers, and people clearly find it appealing – it’s one of the fastest-growing apps available on iOS and Android, with over five million users in more than 160 countries. I decide all those millions can’t be wrong, and install the app.

    -

    My first impression of Freeletics is positive. The free app provides dozens of workouts, each named after Greek gods, which is appropriate since they promise to transform you into an Adonis. The workouts use bodyweight moves such as burpees, sprawls, jump squats, pull-ups (I use a doorframe mount from Iron Gym) mountain climbers and sprints that you have to complete as fast as possible. Freeletics applies the protocols of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which cause an oxygen debt – called the after burn effect – to encourage your body to torch calories and improve your endurance.

    -

    The best health and fitness apps

    -

    Train like the gods

    -

    There are various benefits: you can opt to focus each workout on endurance or strength; every move has a slick video form guide with training cues; it saves you time; you can post your scores on the Freeletics social community to compare with those of other users; and it rewards you with points and level-ups for completing it. However, these seem less appealing when I take on the first workout, ironically named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of pleasure: 50, then 40, 30, 20 and ten reps of burpee press-ups, squats and sit-ups as fast as possible. I almost faint just reading it. Burpees have never been my strong suit.My lower back feels too weak and, demoralised and in pain, I give up halfway through.

    -

    The free app offers these workouts, but you have to invest (£25.99 for three months of Freeletics Coach and a further £21.58 for a 15-week nutrition guide offering weekly recipes) if you want to get any actual coaching. I upgrade to Coach for a tailored weekly plan, which means I need to take a fitness test – and memories of Aphrodite come swirling back. Max burpees in five minutes, max lunges in five minutes and max pull-ups in 1min 40sec. Once I submit my (paltry) scores, the app’s algorithm works out a programme to follow.

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Impersonal training

    -

    For my next workout it tasks me with taking on Aphrodite again, although I only need to do two-fifths of the full workout. You can also rate the difficulty of each training week so the next one will be adjusted accordingly, and you can swap out moves you can’t manage. Good riddance, burpees.

    -

    Over the next six weeks I follow the programme as best I can, with the prospect of improving my times and earning more points keeping me motivated. I still train only twice a week on average, but I’m able to do so in the privacy of my own bedroom, disgruntled downstairs neighbours permitting, and I’m seeing real changes. I’ve lost two kilos of body fat and my PBs for press-ups, sit-ups and 400m sprints have all improved.

    -

    I’m not quite a fully-fledged fanatic, though. I still detest burpees but all I can do is avoid them, whereas one-on-one training with a personal trainer would have identified and attempted to resolve the problem rather than ignoring it. The Coach also throws up the odd, seemingly pointless workout. ‘Run 40m’, for example. I already did that just chasing my bus down on the way to work. Ultimately Freeletics is a self-contained sport. The Coach makes you good at Freeletics, rather than specifically tailoring it to your other sporting passions and individual concerns. I might have cut my Aphrodite time in half but I miss the personal touch of one-on-one coaching.

    -This intense chest circuit will deliver explosive strength fast and help to get rid of moobs – all in the comfort of your own home

    -
    -

    Moobs, man boobs or gynecomastia; whatever you call them, the excess flab that some of us carry in our chest area that gives the appearance of a pre-pubescent girl rather than a chiseled Olympian are an, ahem, growing problem. According to the Belvedere Clinic, 47% of men in the UK hate the appearance of their chests and there was a 44% increase between 2007 and 2011 in the number of men opting for cosmetic surgery to tackle the problem.

    -

    What causes moobs and how do you get rid of them? With around two thirds of British men now tipping the scales into obesity, the vast majority of moobs are caused by simply being overweight. But if it’s not a flab problem you’re dealing with, a hormonal imbalance could be at play. Lowered testosterone and elevated levels of the female hormone, oestrogen can be the reason, and are best dealt with by a doctor who can advise you how to rebalance your hormones and could recommend surgery.

    -

    However, the vast majority of man boobs can be tackled with a few simple lifestyle changes.

    -

    Lose fat

    -

    We all know you can’t spot reduce fat, but cleaning up your diet and hitting the gym a little harder will help to lower your body fat percentage and decrease your moobs. A healthy body fat percentage for most men is considered to be 22% or less. Achieve it with a balance of cardio and weight training, which should include around three to five HIIT (high intensity interval training) sessions a week to kick-start your metabolism and accelerate your fat burning potential. Dietary changes will also make a huge impact. You should eat more add in oestrogen reducing foods, such as fibre, and vitamin B6 rich foods while cutting down on processed foods and refined sugars.

    -

    Build muscle

    -

    Doing endless bench pressing or chest flies alone won’t budge your boob bulge, but it will help to reshape the muscle underneath which will improve the look of the area. Not only that, but the more muscle mass you have, the more efficiently your body will burn fat, so the end result will be a more masculine chest. To maximise your muscle gains, don’t just focus on your chest area. Concentrate on big muscle exercises such as squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, bench presses and rows to activate large muscle groups and achieve big results.

    -

    Fix your posture

    -

    Don’t let your posture take a back seat when it comes to managing your moobs. Working your back and core muscles go a long way to creating a good posture and helping you to stand up straight. This small change can dramatically affect the way your chest looks. Let’s face it; slouched shoulders don’t make anyone look good. Strengthen the surrounding muscles and you’ll not only set your metabolism roaring into action - you’ll improve your stature and overall physique, too.

    -

    Exercise regularly

    -

    Don't panic. One of the best ways to keep man boobs at bay is by keeping your testosterone levels high. A recent study by Massachusetts General Hospital found a significant relationship between testosterone levels, body weight and waist circumference. Overweight individuals, who had low testosterone levels, were able to raise them by doing 150 minutes of exercise per week and modifying their diet for a year. This workout floods your body with moob-inhibiting testosterone while the pyramid sets speed up your heart rate, giving you a little cardio boost. Below are some suggested bodyweight exercises to keep your workout varied and ensure you can also do it at home. You might not have free weights or machines, but that shouldn't stop you form keeping moobs at bay.

    The thin, lightweight wire frames come finished in white gold or brushed rose gold and features a ceramic nose bridge, flexible hinges, and a temple tips that encircle an acetate button. Both frames feature Christian Dalloz Cridal flat lenses which are also produced in France.

    -Train for the right body shape – whether you’re ectomorph, endomorph or mesomorph – and you can out-smart your genes

    -
    -

    Ectomorphs stay lean despite hours in the gym, endomorphs struggle to shift their gut and mesomorphs pack on muscle with ease. Learning which one you are will help you train smarter to maximise your potential. MF explains how.

    -

    The idea that human body types are genetically pre-set is nothing new. Plato mentions it in The Republic, which was written around 380BC, and 19th-century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche referred to the idea in The Antichrist years before the American psychologist William Sheldon popularised three broad ‘categories’ of body in the 1940s.

    -

    Since Sheldon’s conclusions were published it has become widely recognised that most people have a body type that marks them as an ectomorph (lean), an endomorph (big with high body fat), or a mesomorph (muscular). Over the past decade, science has discovered more about the genetics that go into making you the shape you are – and what you can do about it. Read on to discover how you can get results, whatever your genes.

    -

    Ectomorph

    -

    The look: Lean and long

    -

    Why? Difficulty building muscle

    -

    Do…

    -
      -
    • Train with compound moves
      • -
    • Get enough protein
      • -
    • Use isolation moves as ‘finishers’
      • -
    -

    Don’t…

    -
      -
    • Overemphasise isolation moves
      • -
    • Do too much cardio
      • -
    • Ectomorphs have to work harder on the weights in order to gain a toned physique.
      • -
    -

    Are you the type?

    -

    You’ve got the build of a marathon runner – lean, but short on muscle. It can be hard to pack on size despite hours in the gym.

    -

    What’s going on?

    -

    It’s all to do with satellite cell-mediated myonuclear addition – or, in layman’s terms, the number of cells surrounding your muscle fibres and your ability to add more by training. In one study of 66 people, the top 17 ‘responders’ experienced a 58% gain in muscle cross-sectional area, while the bottom 17 gained nothing. Unfortunately for Ectomorphs, they tend to be the worst 'responders'.

    -

    What you might be doing wrong

    -

    Three days of strength training should be coupled with two days of low-intensity cardio. Effective abs exercises include the ‘captain’s chair’, the bicycle crunch and ab crunches while sat on an exercise ball. First, ditch the treadmill. ‘Ectomorphs often gravitate to long, slow distance work, but it’s the worst thing they can do,’ says trainer Will Purdue. And it may be tempting to pack your routine with classic bodybuilder moves such as the biceps curl, but that’s another mistake, says Purdue. ‘I often see ectomorphs focusing on isolation moves, whereas big, compound movements such as the squat will involve more muscles and give you the hormonal boost that helps build muscle. I still use isolation moves, but they’re supplementary to the main workout moves – 80% of moves should be working big muscle groups.’

    -

    What you should be doing

    -

    ‘Compound movements, sets in the eight-to-12 rep range and quite a lot of volume are what you’re looking for,’ says Purdue. ‘So a system such as German Volume Training is ideal.’ Popularised by muscle expert Charles Poliquin, GVT prescribes ten sets of ten reps in key moves such as the bench or squat. And there’s no need to live in the gym to put on muscle – quite the contrary, in fact. ‘If you’re working out four, five days a week you’ll be speeding up your metabolism too much,’ says trainer Hughes. ‘I tend to limit my ectomorphs to three workouts a week, keeping the actual training time after a warm-up to 45 minutes or less.’

    -

    What to eat

    -

    In terms of nutrition, a diet that is high in calories, carbs, protein and fat will aid you in your quest for muscle gain. This should not be mistaken for eating precisely what you like. Rather, it just means you should eat more of what is healthy. Good news: you don’t have to steer clear of carbs such as oats, wholemeal bread and potatoes. Fats found in nuts, seeds and avocado will also bring about the right results. ‘Ectomorphs should respond well to carbs, which will spike blood sugar and help to drive protein to their muscles,’ says trainer Mark Hughes. ‘Stick to the complex kind, such as sweet potatoes and brown rice.’ Aim for 2g per kilo of bodyweight per day of protein minimum, but be wary of overdoing it.

    -

    What else?

    -

    ‘It’s important for ectomorphs to use supplements properly,’ says Hughes. ‘I’d advise a carb/protein shake to drink before and during your workout, and either another one or a good meal afterwards.’

    -

    Money moves

    -

    The deadlift is your best friend: people with long arms should find it relatively easy, and it uses the entire body so it’ll pack on mass. Although squats and benching will do wonders for your physique, taller ectomorphs might find them difficult. ‘Your longer levers might give you trouble getting below parallel in the squat,’ says Purdue. ‘That’s when I recommend the leg press.’

    -

    On the next page: Endomorph

    -

    Endomorph

    -

    The look: Pear-shaped

    -

    Why? High tendency to store body fat

    -

    Do…

    -
      -
    • Train with intensity
      • -
    • Watch your carb intake
      • -
    • Build your shoulders
      • -
    -

    Don’t…

    -
      -
    • Do endless crunches
      • -
    • Jog for hours
      • -
    • Drink sports drinks
      • -
    -

    The endomorph is the hardest body type to have in terms of managing your weight and overall fitness.

    -

    Are you the type?

    -

    If you have trouble shifting weight, the chances are you’re an endomorph, characterised by a relatively high amount of stored fat, a wide waist and a large bone structure.

    -

    What’s going on?

    -

    The good news is that, evolutionarily speaking, you’re a badass: when food was scarce, natural selection favoured humans with fat-storing metabolisms. The bad news is that, now sofas and milkshakes are readily available, those genes are scuppering you. Some experts suggest heredity might account for as much as 70% of your body mass index (BMI).

    -

    What you might be doing wrong

    -

    First, the good bit: there’s no point in spending hours plodding away on a treadmill. ‘The first thing I tell people trying to lose weight is to ditch the long, slow, steady-state cardiovascular work,’ says Purdue. ‘Then I get them doing more interval-based conditioning to strip away fat. Sprints and box jumps are great, but if you’re heavy to the point of being worried about your joints, then moves like the sled push are slower but just as intense.’ And if you’re doing hundreds of crunches to try and shift your gut, ditch them now. ‘Spot-reducing fat just doesn’t work,’ says Hughes. ‘You need to lose it from everywhere to see results around your waistline.’

    -

    What you should be doing

    -

    While much of the endomorph's focus should be on shedding fat through aerobic exercise, here at MF we're of the opinion that weight-training is best because it carries on burning calories long after your final set. What's more, the calories you ingest during the recovery period will help your muscles grow rather than fuelling your gut. Therefore, we recommend doing four days a week of hypertrophy training (heavy weight, low reps) alongside your cardio. ‘Combine hypertrophy work – basically, muscle-building – with conditioning to strip away unwanted body fat,’ says Purdue. ‘A four-day split might go something like: Monday, upper-body hypertrophy; Tuesday, lower-body conditioning such as sprints or sleds; Thursday lower-body hypertrophy; and a Friday “repetition” day on the upper body, when you’ll do lots of reps at relatively low weights.’

    -

    What to eat

    -

    From a nutrition perspective, a low-carb diet that still includes oats and brown rice should be complimented by a high protein and fibre intake. Nutrients such as green tea and spinach will help with the fat burning process. You’ll have to watch what you eat more strictly than people with other body shapes. ‘Get your carbs from vegetables,’ says Purdue, ‘and steer clear of white bread and rice.’

    -

    What else?

    -

    ‘There’s evidence that extra weight around the midsection indicates high stress levels or a low ability to handle stress,’ says Purdue. ‘Try to minimise the effects of the stress hormone cortisol by getting plenty of sleep and avoiding overtraining.’ And avoid sports drinks. ‘They’re full of carbs,’ says Purdue, ‘and they’ll spike your blood sugar through the roof.’ And, of course, steer clear of the booze.

    -

    Money moves

    -

    ‘Get used to using your body,’ says Purdue. ‘Work on bodyweight moves such as the press-up or chin-up, and moves that force you to use good technique such as the Turkish get-up.’

    -

    On the next page: Mesomorph

    -

    Mesomorph

    -

    The look: Well-built

    -

    Why? High metabolism, responsive muscle cells

    -

    Do…

    -
      -
    • Train like an athlete
      • -
    • Time your workouts
      • -
    • Set personal bests
      • -
    -

    Don’t…

    -
      -
    • Take your body for granted
      • -
    • Eat whatever you like
      • -
    -

    Mesomorphs tend to take their naturally athletic builds for granted, which can result in diluted workouts and poor diets. Keeping in peak physical condition is often tempered by a scattered approach to eating and training.

    -

    Are you the type?

    -

    If you are, you’ll know it from the jealous looks. Mesomorphs look well built without setting foot in a gym, and pack on muscle the instant they pick up a dumbbell. If this sounds like you, you’ve hit the genetic jackpot – but you can make the most of your DNA with some tactical workout tricks.

    -

    What’s going on?

    -

    The same research that’s so unflattering to ectomorphs offers plenty of positives for mesomorphs. While the worst ‘responders’ in the study mentioned above saw no change in their regulation of myogenin – a key gene responsible for muscle growth – the mesomorphs on the same programme saw theirs spike by up to 65%.

    -

    What you might be doing wrong

    -

    ‘Mesomorphs often won’t train as hard as they can,’ says Hughes. ‘I usually give them timed workouts, to give them goals to aim for and raise their workout intensity.’

    -

    What you should be doing

    -

    ‘I get mesomorphs to train athletically,’ says Purdue. ‘So I might do sprints, box and vertical jumps or other plyometrics. They respond well to low reps and power moves. Alternatively, interval sprints will pump up their metabolism and strip away fat.’

    -

    What to eat

    -

    Although the usual caveats apply, the good news is that your body will respond well to whatever healthy food you put into it. ‘You can eat a moderate amount of carbs,’ says Hughes. ‘And err on the side of more when it comes to protein.’ A basic guideline for mesomorphs to follow would be to consume meals that are 40% complex carbohydrates, 30% lean protein and 30% healthy fats. So, for example, a plate that contained vegetables such as cauliflower and broccoli, grilled chicken and olive oil on wholegrain bread would represent a staple dish for this body type.

    -

    What else?

    -

    ‘Mesomorphs respond well to creatine,’ says Hughes. ‘It’ll aid their recovery from athletic workouts and help them work out harder.’ You should also factor in recovery days. ‘Although the explosive nature of athletic workouts minimises the eccentric [lowering] portion of your moves, which helps stave off muscle soreness, some light movements on your rest days will help get the blood flowing and keep you fresh.’

    -

    Money moves

    -

    ‘You’ll respond well to power moves,’ says Purdue. ‘Try pairing a strength move with a power move that works the same muscles. For example, superset five reps on the deadlift with five on the power clean.’

    Let’s be honest, few of us are handsome enough to look good in just a shirt and a pair of pants, and summer doesn’t offer many chances for layering. To make up for the lack of outerwear this summer, I’ve been relying on slightly more oddball shirts. I have a patchwork piece from Neighborhood that I sometimes use as an overshirt, and then this linen popover from Visvim that I like to throw over thin tees and henleys. 

    The nice thing about popovers is that they’re interesting enough to wear on their own. Dressier versions such as this one from G. Inglese can be worn tucked-in with a pair of trousers for a classic Agnelli look, while more casual versions can be worn out with a pair of jeans and sleek boots. This one from Visvim is made from a soft, enzyme washed linen, and features a painted and distressed button, as well as a uniquely frayed collar line. Together with the dropped shoulder, boxier silhouette, and antique-inspired print, these details give the shirt a slightly more vintage sensibility. I typically wear it with jeans and some suede Chelsea boots, and then roll up the sleeves. 

    You can find Visvim at any number of places. Speciality boutiques such as Haven, Union, and Shiprock Santa Fe carry a nice selection. Mr. Porter also carries the line, and some of their pieces are discounted at the end of every season. For the best prices, however, you’ll want to buy second-hand through eBay, Grailed, or Superfuture. There’s also Stylistics Japan, who will sell you something straight from Japan (useful given the strong USD-to-Yen exchange rate). Lastly, you can check Rakuten and Yahoo Auctions Japan, although with those, you’ll want to know what you’re doing. The downside to buying second-hand or from an overseas shop, of course, is that you can’t return something if it doesn’t work out – but on the upside, prices can be a lot cheaper. 

    In the above: an old season of Visvim’s popover (available this season in three different prints); an old season henley by Barena; 3sixteen SL-100x jeans; MTO Edward Green Newmarket boots in mink suede and their 202 last; mid-length wallet by The Flat Head; silver bracelets from Self Edge and Len Wood’s Indian Territory; and a custom hand-stained, saddle leather belt and shell cordovan keychain by Don’t Mourn Organize.

    Few things are more important to an American man than his pickup truck. Except maybe his dog, the loyal sidekick. Now put that dog in a pickup, and you've got a glorious and beautiful thing—as distinctly American as a bald eagle shooting fireworks from its beak while chasing an F-16 over a baseball game. In celebration of a long and fun-filled summer, and in belated honor of America's 239th birthday, we present this spectacular collection of dogs in trucks. Enjoy. From Road&Track.

    -A tried and tested 4-week plan to get a V-shaped body

    -
    -

    Torch fat and bag a V-shaped body with coach Natalie Morley from Phoenix Stength. 

    -

    The plan

    -

    ‘Don’t underestimate the intensity of this barbell complex,’ says Morley. ‘Keep the weight light enough to allow you to do all the moves with good form for the best results.’

    -

    Week 1

    -

    SETS 4 REPS 5 REST 90SEC

    -

    Week

    -

    2 SETS 4 REPS 8 REST 90SEC

    -

    Week 3

    -

    SETS 5 REPS 8 REST 90SEC

    -

    Week 4

    -

    SETS 5 REPS 8 REST 60SEC

    -

    You don’t have to be big to be tough. It’s true of most featherweight boxers and it definitely applies to this empty barbell complex. Pick up a barbell using a snatch grip and do all six moves back to back before setting it down.

    -

    ‘The weight might not look challenging but the moves are,’ says trainer Natalie Morley (phoenix-strength.co.uk), who devised this plan. ‘Even with a light weight, you’ll torch calories, and the moves will develop your skill and mobility for the most technical of Olympic lifts: the snatch.’

    -

    Use the four-week plan above, doing this complex two or three times a week as a finisher to burn off belly fat and enhance your functional fitness.

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Bent-over row

    -

    Grasp the bar with hands double shoulder-width apart. Hinge forwards at your hips, keep your core braced and raise the bar towards your sternum.

    -

    Pro-tip: 'Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together,' says Morley

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Deadlift

    -

    Squat to lower the bar to shin height, keeping your chest up and your back straight. Then drive your hips forwards to stand tall. Reverse the move back to the start.

    -

    Pro-tip: ‘Pull your shoulders back and down to maintain a flat, neutral spine’

    -
    -
    -
    -

    High pull

    -

    From standing, move your hips back and lower the bar to mid-thigh height, then drive your hips forwards powerfully and quickly raise the bar up to mid-chest height, leading with your elbows so they stay above the bar.

    -

    Pro-tip: ‘Keep the bar close to your body and in contact with your hips as you drive them forwards to generate power’

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Muscle snatch

    -

    In the same way as with the high pull, drive your hips forwards and raise the bar quickly but bring it all the way up, keeping it close to your body, until your arms are locked out above you.

    -

    Pro-tip: ‘As the bar reaches shoulder height, rotate your hands around it and punch it overhead’

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Klokov press

    -

    On the final muscle snatch, lower the bar to rest on your upper back and shoulders. Bend your legs to lower into a quarter squat, then drive up powerfully, using the momentum to press the bar overhead.

    -

    Pro-tip: ‘Keep looking straight ahead and avoid craning your neck forwards’

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Back squat

    -

    Lower the bar back onto your upper back and shoulders and sink into a deep squat, keeping your weight on your heels and your chest up. Then drive your hips forwards as you return to standing.

    -

    Pro tip: ‘To help keep your chest up, pull down on the bar as if you’re trying to break it in half across your back’

    -Sweet potatoes are super healthy. Follow these recipes and they'll be super tasty too

    -
    -

    It’s easy to make a healthy meal from a sweet potato, nature’s jack-of-all-trades. It’s equally satisfying baked on its own, mashed and paired with sausages or as part of a dessert. Stuffed with nutrients and fibre, it’s also lower GI than many stodgier traditional carb sources – including regular spuds – so sub it in for potatoes in a variety of meals to reduce the risk of spiking your blood sugar and minimise fat storage.

    Those legendary three letters will soon be making its way to showrooms as Acura begins production later this Fall at their Ohio plant. The company has been ramping up the excitement for the car as it made its latest appearance as the pace car at this year's Pikes Peak Hill Climb.

    As you'll see, that mid-engine, six-cylinder twin-turbo screamed its way up the mountain decked out in its red and white livery and happily devoured all 12 miles and every single one of the 156 turns of the legendary, 14,410 foot mountain. If you needed a refresher, the new NSX will be a hybrid, all-wheel-drive supercar with three electric motors and a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo that produces over 550 hp. Pricing is expected be over $150,000 and will be available later this year.

    With Star Wars on everyone's mind these days, MB&F could not have come at a better time with their new Musicmachine 3. Celebrating their tenth anniversary, the new Musicmachine is inspired by the Galactic Empire's standard issue starfighter and an icon of Sci-Fi spaceships, the Tie Fighter.

    Split into three editions with three different styles that include a black lacquer, white uv-resistant lacquer, and a chrome anodized finish. Surrounded by metal lattice work, the "engine" brings together a sophisticated system of combs, winding keys, hand-finished cylinders, and a resonant amplifying base made from 350 year old resonance spruce, Nomex, and Kevlar. 

    All those puzzle pieces fit together to create a music box with quite the playlist.

    -Burn fat and build muscle with our weekly gym challenge. Workout of the Week #26: Pull-up ladder

    -
    -

    Take on your Men's Fitness workout of the week, a new 52-part series to keep you inspired and challenged for 2015. We'll post a new workout every Monday and for an added incentive, we'll take on the workout too so you can see how your best time compares with a member of the MF team.

    -

    Workout of the Week #27

    -

    Do a pull-up ladder from one rep to ten as fast as you can.

    -

    How to do the workout:

    -

    Shotgun the pull-up bar. Then do one pull-up, overhand grip, no kipping, pull your chin just above the bar, then drop to the floor. Next do two pull-ups before dropping to the floor. Repeat this process, resting as much as you need, until you do ten reps in one go. If you have to break the sets up that's fine but the target is to complete the whole ladder as fast as you can. In total you should do 55 pull-ups. Well done. Pat yourself on the back.

    -

    Watch the video, take on the challenge and post your best score in the comments section below.

    -

    MF's par time: 4min

    This workout was shot at The Athlete Centre in Oxford. Check out our Workout of the Week YouTube playlist for more gym challenges. Subscribe to the Men's Fitness YouTube channel for our weekly Workouts of the Week, posted every Monday throughout 2015.

    Get Rough With Your Neckwear

    Everyone loves corduroy and tweed jackets in the fall – and the wool and cashmere ties that accompany them – but summer also has its own casual options. A linen or cotton sport coat can give you all the benefits of a tailored jacket without making you look like you just came from the office, and you can pair one with a silk knit or linen four-in-hand for a nice off-duty look. 

    My favorite ties around this time of year are those made from slubby silks, such as the ones you see above. You typically see them come in one of five varieties:

    • Raw Silk: Easily the most common of the five, raw silk – sometimes called shantung – is made from silk fibers where the gummy sericin has been left on (hence, it’s “raw”). When buying a raw silk tie, pay attention to the weave. Something made from a dense weave can feel thicker and heavier than something that has been loosely woven (notice how the dotted raw silk tie above is much denser than the striped raw silk next to it). You can find raw silk ties at any number of places these days, such as Drake’s, Bigi, Vanda, Shibumi, Viola Milano, Fontana1961, Conrad Wu, J. Press, and Chipp. 
    • Tussah: Sometimes mis-labeled as raw silk, even though the two are not the same, Tussah is made from the silk of silkworms that have been allowed to live on a wild diet. The resulting fabric typically feels softer and airier than raw silk textiles, which makes these ties perfect for the dog days of summer. Drake’s makes some great Tussah neckwear, which you can find at Gentlemen’s Footwear, The Armoury, and Drake’s online store. 
    • Matka: A rough, basketweave fabric that’s made from the silk of pierced cocoons. Much of Matka’s texture is derived from its weave, rather than the irregularity of the yarns, although it still has some nice slubs. You can find Matka ties at Sid Mashburn, Vanda, Marshall Anthony, and Chipp.
    • Bourette: A fabric woven from silk waste yarns, which gives this a knotty and uneven surface. Vanda has some nice bourette ties this season that look like slubby, raw spun versions of grenadine. 
    • Noile: Made from the broken, short fibers that are leftover when waste silk has been torn up, dressed, and combed. Looks a bit more like textured cotton than silk, even when compared to the matte options above. Available at Mountain & Sackett. 

    How to wear: As a more casual tie, you can wear slubby silks with any kind of sport coat. If the color is solid, or the pattern conservative, you can even use one to dress down a suit. Whatever you do, keep these to your spring and summer clothes. They’re too warm-weather specific to wear with flannels and tweeds.

    Photo: Tumi 

    There's nothing worse than lugging around a heavy suitcase on your travels. So any pound, ounce, or micron that you can save to keep your from paying exorbitant fees or simply exhausting yourself is a huge plus. Tumi's got the answer to your clunky, overweight luggage pains with their new Vapor Lite collection.

    The Vapor Lite line is not only a new model for the company, but is their lightest hardshell model in the lineup. It uses a durable, multi-layer polycarbonate alloy formulation that was created to reduce cracking and denting. The luggage is available in three colors and comes in various sizes including a carry-on and a larger extended trip size. 

    $515-$595, available now at Tumi

    $20 For Handmade Pocket Squares? Yes. For Now.

    We held a wonderful in-person sample sale a couple of weeks ago in our Los Angeles office. Of course, hold a sale in person and you invite a torrent of emails: put it online! We do have some past season PTO squares left, so we’re doing just that. 

    Here’s the deal: while our past-season stock lasts, we’re offering five squares for $100, shipped. It’s that simple. Just click here and order.

    Sold out!

    Here are some answers to questions that have come in:

    • Are these the good stuff? Yes! These are first quality squares. Handmade, with hand-rolled edges, from beautiful vintage and premium fabrics. No seconds here.
    • Is this a big discount? Most of the squares retailed for $65, a few for $55. That already reflects the savings of buying directly from us - comparable handmade squares go for just shy of $100.
    • What if I get doubles? It’s unlikely you’ll get anything you already have, even if you’re a Gentlemen’s Association member. Every GA shipment contains several designs, and most of our squares left over are short runs from our shop, not from the GA. If you do get something you already have, mail it back to us and we’ll exchange it for you.
    • I live abroad! If you live outside the US, we can probably get you sorted out. Email jennifer@maximumfun.org. 
    • Will these run out? Yes, this is very limited - when we run out of stock, we stop the sale.

    -We pick out the best UK spots for surfing this summer

    -
    -

    In the September issue of Men’s Fitness Andrew Cotton, the UK’s leading big-wave surfer, talks about how he harnesses fear to ride 25m giants, uses yoga breathing to keep his cool and builds a surfer's six-pack on the beach.

    -

    Pick up the September issue, out 12th August, to find out more. But first, see below for our pick of the UK’s best surf spots and watch the video for your chance to join Cotton on his home surf in Croyde and follow him on a big-wave adventure to Nazaré off the coast of Portugal. 

    -

    The UK’s best surfing spots

    -

    THURSO EAST, HIGHLANDS
    -

    -

    This north coast beach has consistent year-round surf. The air temperatures might be cold but the warmest waters can be enjoyed in September when Thurso East draws experienced surfers from all around Europe.
    -Swell range: 3-20ft (0.9-6.1m)
    -Surf school: Thurso Surf 

    -

    PORTH NEIGWL (HELL’S MOUTH), GWYNEDD

    -

    This impressive 6.5km-long bay is the best-known surf spot in north Wales, offering ample space so you’re not fighting others for the same swell. Tip: the best waves break beneath the cliffs at the south-east end of the bay. 
    -Swell range: 2-8ft (0.6-2.4m)
    -Surf school: West Coast Surf 

    -

    SALTBURN, TEESSIDE

    -

    Inhabited by surfers since the 1960s, this golden sandy beach is one of the original centres of the north-east surf scene. There are good waves for both beginners and intermediates on either side of the pier.
    -Swell range: 1-10ft (0.3-3.0m)
    -Surf school: Saltburn Surf

    -

    CROYDE, DEVON

    -

    The picturesque setting of the north Devon coast – home to the UK’s big-wave daredevil Andrew Cotton – has powerful waves which offer great challenges for intermediate and experienced surfers.
    -Swell range: 1-15ft (0.3-4.6m)
    -Surf school: Surf South West 

    -

    SENNEN COVE, CORNWALL

    -

    With ideal summer conditions and a welcoming local surfing community, this is easily one of the UK’s most breathtaking locations with consistent breaks and good-sized waves.
    -Swell range: 2-12ft (0.6-3.7m)
    -Surf school: Sennen Surfing Centre 

    -

    FRESHWATER WEST, PEMBROKESHIRE

    -

    This vast beach is considered to be one of the most consistent surf spots in Wales. The powerful and relatively large peaks provide plenty of opportunties to work on your barrell riding, if you can handle the tough paddle out (read our September issue feature with Cotton for ways to boost your paddle power).
    -Swell range: 2-15ft (0.6-4.6m) 
    -Surf school: AberAdventures 

    -

    -Andrew Cotton has launched a national campaign with Cornwall-based Sharp’s Brewery, giving people the chance to join him on the surfing adventure of a lifetime. Click here for details on how to enter. Entries close 9th August.

    Photo: Bonhams 

    Carrozzeria Ghia has quite the resume and their 1953 8V Supersonic is surely one of the biggest highlights on that impressive list. This incredible example is hitting the Quail Lodge Auction in August and according to Bonhams, this was the tenth 8V Supersonic built by Carrozzeria Ghia. The car was in the same hands for more than 40 years before it went through a thorough eight-year restoration costing over $600,000.

    To get the restoration just right, Fiat 8V expert Paul Lazaros was called in and oversaw the process. His expertise proved to be beyond useful as Lazaros owned the original 8V Supersonic prototype and had a digital analysis done to achieve an accurate and technologically precise restoration. 

    The comprehensive restoration included a transmission rebuild, recreated tail lamps and wheel discs, Italian doeskin-tan leather seats, original Borrani wire wheels, and much more. Expected to go for $1.8-$2.4 million, the 8V Supersonic will go up for bid on August 14th.

    The gradient colorway is taken from Paul Smith's Spring/Summer '15 mainline collection that goes from a blue tint into orange with a silver base that gives the helmet an iridescent finish. 

    On the technical side the helmet has been designed with strategic venting to keep you cool while also being aerodynamically optimized. It also features their Octo Fit system to get a practically custom and secure fit around the head.

    -Do you have to take multivitamins for optimum health, or could they actually be bad for you?

    -
    -

    A lot of us take multivitamins to get our recommended daily dose of essential nutrients. But some people say they aren't necessary, while others think they might not even be safe. Here, two experts debate the issue.

    -

    The experts

    -

    Patrick Holford, best-selling author of The Optimum Nutrition Bible and member of the Orthomolecular Hall of Fame says yes. On the other side is Dr Saverio Stranges, associate professor of cardiovascular epidemiology at the University of Warwick and consultant physician in public health medicine.

    -

    Yes, says Patrick Holford

    -

    Vitamins and minerals assist the body’s basic functions, and the only way to get enough in our diets is through supplementation. Before supermarkets and mass-farming techniques were introduced, the average diet consisted of fresh, organic food with high levels of nutrients. That’s not the case any more. In fact, one study on the average Victorian working class diet found it was so rich in micronutrients that nowadays the only way we can hope to compete is by using multivitamin supplements.

    -

    The optimal intake of vitamin C, for example – which fights infections, lowers risk of disease and boosts immunity – is around 1g per day. You would have to eat around 20 oranges to get that much, and most people only consume one-tenth of a gram each day. Likewise, with bone-strengthening vitamin D, it’s impossible to get enough from diet and sunlight (particularly in Britain). These deficiencies are further exacerbated by the stresses on the body that frequent workouts cause. Muscles relax and contract by using calcium and magnesium, energy is made using vitamins B and C, and the byproducts of energy creation are detoxified using antioxidants. Therefore, it makes sense that a higher intake of nutrients results in better athletic performance.

    -

    Vitamins and minerals are required for every function the human body performs, from making energy to building muscle, keeping immunity strong and staying free from disease. The modern diet simply does not provide high enough amounts, so supplementation is essential, especially for those who exercise. patrickholford.com

    -

    No, says Dr Saverio Stranges

    -

    The gold standard of clinical trial evidence does not support using multivitamin supplements in chronic disease prevention. What’s more, the idea that the more micronutrients we have in our diets, the better, is false. For example, selenium is found in most multivitamin supplements because of its antioxidant properties. However, when you obtain selenium from natural foods its effectiveness is optimised, and there’s no physiological evidence that suggests additional selenium supplementation will increase your body’s antioxidant potential.

    -

    Most research on multivitamin supplements is financially driven and therefore biased. Plus, studies are carried out on the well-fed Western population. To tell us something of worth, clinical trials should be conducted in, say, sub-Saharan Africa where there are macronutrient deficiencies. If anything, evidence shows potential adverse effects of vitamin supplements.

    -

    One study on vitamin E and selenium was stopped after people taking the former experienced higher cancer risks and those taking the latter experienced increased risks in regards to diabetes. A number of studies from Johns Hopkins University in the US show similar risks from high doses of vitamin A and vitamin E supplements. It’s frightening when supplement manufacturers ignore this research for financial benefit.

    -

    The bottom line is – with the possible exception of vitamin D – you probably get enough micronutrients from diet. Topping up with multivitamins will burn a hole in your pocket at best, and negatively affect your health at worse. warwick.ac.uk

    -If you’re short on space and time try this gymnastic ring workout from home

    -
    -

    If you’re short of space and time, getting gymnastics rings is one of the best investments you’ll make. One ring to rule them all? Try two from Fitness Health. As well as unlocking an array of new workout moves, they add unpredictability to existing ones, forcing your stabiliser muscles to work overtime to keep up. But there’s another benefit. ‘A lot of moves can put excess strain on the elbows, since your wrist wants to rotate naturally but can’t,’ says strength coach Chad Waterbury. ‘The solution is simple: use rings.’

    -

    Directions

    -

    Complete the prescribed sets and reps for each move, rest as indicated, then go on to the next one. Either attack it as a standalone workout, or swap it in for one of your normal back sessions every couple of weeks.

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Ring burpee

    -

    Sets 5 Reps 5 Rest 60sec

    -

    This is an effective warm-up. Drop to the floor, chest to the deck, then spring back to your feet and jump up, grabbing the rings and using your momentum to help you pull your chin to hand-height.

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Pull-up

    -

    Sets 5 Reps 3 Rest 60sec

    -

    Time to go strict. Hold the rings shoulder-width apart and pull up until your chin is at least level with them. Some knee movement is acceptable, but not much. 

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Twisting knee raise

    -

    Sets 3 Reps 3 each side Rest 60sec

    -

    Hang from the rings with shoulders ‘activated’ – pull them down slightly and keep them there. Bring your knees up and to one side, trying to minimise swing. Lower under control and repeat on the other side.

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Toes-to-rings

    -

    Sets 5 Reps 5 Rest 60sec

    -

    Hang from the rings and bring your toes to ring height, with your legs and arms straight. Lower under control.

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Inverted pull-up

    -

    Sets 5 Reps 3 Rest 60sec

    -

    Hang from the rings and tilt backward so that your back is parallel to the floor. Now do your pull-ups from there. Yes, really.

    If you couldn't get a sense of the scale of just how big Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice would be, the director just gave the world a look at the newest trailer straight from Comic-Con and it definitely looks to be one of the biggest event films of the year. 

    We also get a look at more of the cast including Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Gal Gadot in action as Wonder Woman, and Jeremy Irons as Alfred. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits screens March 25th, 2016. 

    "Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before."

    Photo: Rivet & Hide 

    Searching for the that perfect pair of jeans can be pretty daunting and if you've been torturing yourself with countless visits to the mall, you might want to press pause and give this pair a look. This piece of denim is a collaboration between London's Rivet & Hide and NY's 3sixteen and if anyone knows anything about good denim its definitely these two brands.

    Called the RH15, this very special pair of denim is the first collaboration between the two brands and is made from a hefty 15 oz sanforized denim from the renowned Kuroki Mill in Japan. The jeans feature a mid-rise cut with a tapered leg that is just the right amount of slim without being too skinny and if those look too long for you, ask for them to be hemmed on their vintage Union Special or take them to your local 3sixteen if you happen to be Stateside.

    Before we had Tumblr, Wordpress, and Blogspot, some of the best menswear blogs were obscure Japanese sites that looked like they were designed during the heydays of Geocities. Centipede and Cobbler’s Web were among the best, but neither have been updated for a while. Until now, anyway. Cobbler’s Web is apparently posting again – both as a blog and on Instagram – under the name “Not Fashion, but Style.” (It’s admittedly a bit corny, but I’m hardly one to judge bad blog titles).

    The blog is unfortunately written in Japanese, so unless you know the language, you’ll have to rely on the rough translations provided by Google Translate. He does write some English captions on his Instagram account though. There, you’ll find photos of bespoke shoes from G.J. Cleverley, Koji Suzuki, and John Lobb of St. James in London; vintage Edward Greens from the early John Hlustik days; and suits from Henry Poole and Liverano & Liverano. There’s also the only known (headless) selfie of the man behind the site, which I’ve included at the end of this post.

    “What does a person who knows a good suit say when trying on a suit at the tailor’s? “That’s the right length,” “That’s too short,” “That’s too narrow.” Words of approval play no role, although he will look pleased when the coat suits him. Instead of “That’s too short” I might say “Look!” or instead of “Right” I might say “Leave it as it is.” A good cutter may not use any words at all, but just make a chalk mark and later alter it.

    How do I show my approval of a suit? Chiefly by wearing it often…”

    –Ludwig Wittgenstein

    -Increase your work flow with these 7 quick ways of improving concentration

    -
    -

    The average computer takes almost four minutes to switch on and off again- more than enough time to do the same with your overworked cerebral cortex. In under 8 minutes you can hit the reset switch and clean up your mental hard drive with these tricks. 

    -

    Ditch the neural see-saw 

    -

    Time: 1:05

    -

    Your brain has two main modes of operation: ‘task-positive’, where your attention’s focused, and ‘task-negative’, where you’re daydreaming but more creative. Both are valuable, but see-sawing between them is mentally exhausting. To ease the process, switch off alerts. ‘Knowing you have an unread email saps attentional resources because your brain keeps thinking about it,’ says neuroscientist Daniel Levitin. ‘To be more productive and creative, do your social networking during a designated time, not as a constant interruption.’

    10 ways to upgrade your brain

    Time: 2:21

    -

    TED conferences – those idea-spreading meet-ups popular on YouTube – can feature up to 90 talks over five days. ‘It burns a muscle,’ says curator Chris Anderson. ‘A lot of conferences just keep pounding your analytical left brain.’ To help attendees recharge, the organisers screen films between talks. The best is Shake, which you can see here.

    Time: 0:40

    -

    Even if your office is mid-industrial wasteland, there’s hope. An Australian study published in the journal Environmental Psychology found that interrupting a tedious, attention-demanding task with a 40-second ‘microbreak’ — in which one simply looks at a computerised image of something natural – improved focus as well as performance on the task. Head to reddit for your daily fix.

    -

    Get nuts

    -

    Time: 0:30

    -

    The biscuit tin is your enemy. Instead, refuel with trail mix – the phosphorus in dried fruits provides healthy sugars for a rapid boost, while seeds and nuts prevent insulin levels dropping, maintaining energy. Make your own using cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds and dried cranberries.

    -

    Sit better

    -

    Time: 0:15

    -

    It’s virtually impossible to sit for any length of time with good posture – and marathon desk sessions promote bad habits. Set a timer for regular intervals through the day and when it goes off, employ the Gokhale Method. Sit with your glutes ‘behind’ you, then roll your shoulders one at a time forward, up, back, and then down, keeping your torso upright but relaxed. You’ll aid circulation and switch your glutes back on.

    -

    Carry a tune

    -

    Time: 2:15

    -

    Music stimulates the brain’s circuitry and enhances mental performance, while research also shows background music can help us at work by increasing our ability to think and solve creative problems. Baroque string quartets not your thing? Videogame music is designed to stimulate without ruining concentration, so start with the Legend Of Zelda theme and go from there.

    -

    Trick your brain

    -

    Time: 1:00

    -

    If all else fails, just remember a time when you felt happy and energetic, and focus on why you felt that way. It’s a neuro-linguistic programming shortcut to more focus and better productivity.

    -How Whitney Miller went from a Miss United States beauty queen to a Brazilian jiu jitsu machine

    -
    -

    Just two years after being crowned Miss United States in 2012 Whitney Miller competed in her first Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ) tournament. Miller took away a gold and silver medal (for no-gi and gi disciplines, respectively), was instantly hooked and began training with some of the world’s best combat sports competitors to work towards a world championship.

    -

    You’ve been a TV presenter, beauty pageant competitor and professional wake surfer. What led you to start doing BJJ?

    -

    I’m always looking to challenge myself. One night I was watching the UFC thinking it would be fun to do, but I didn’t really want to get hit in the face so I decided to get into the ground game. I went to classes but for the first two months I hated it. It was just so difficult physically and emotionally, but it slowly got easier and I started getting addicted to the tactical aspect of it. BJJ is a mental game as much as a physical one, and I love playing a kind of live-action game of chess with my opponent.

    -

    What exactly did you hate about it?

    -

    It hurt. Getting thrown down is no fun at all and I was training with a bunch of guys and maybe one or two other girls in the class. I was getting wrecked every day, either choked out or arm-barred and as well as being painful, it was so frustrating. Now, I’m better at controlling my emotions and not getting so annoyed when I get beat.

    -

    We take it no-one was going easy on you at first then…

    -

    No, not at all. I mean, come on – it was Miss United States, so they all wanted to knock her around a little bit, for real.

    -

    You’ve grappled with UFC featherweight Cub Swanson. Who are you training with now?

    -

    Cub and I are both sponsored by Onnit so we still train together sometimes. A lot of athletes come through our training centre and I’ve been lucky enough to practise with a variety of people, including [UFC middleweights] Andrew Craig, Tim Kennedy, [UFC bantamweight champion] TJ Dillashaw and [UFC commentator] Joe Rogan. They’re all awesome, alpha-male style guys, so it’s always incredible whenever I managed to come out on top.

    -

    Of all the people you’ve trained with, who left you feeling the most destroyed?

    -

    It was actually the girls. [Invicta MMA champion and new UFC signing] Michelle Waterson stayed with me for a week or two. We’re about the same size so I thought I might stand a chance, but she's been training BJJ for a lifetime and she crushed me that day! I got the upper hand a few times, but after hours of going at it I was shot. I kept crying and was even swearing off of BJJ.

    -

    When you’re feeling like that, what makes you pick yourself up again?

    -

    The challenge. And a lot of people look towards me as an inspiration. People are like, ‘If she can do it, then I can too’ and that doesn’t even have to apply just to BJJ. I get inspirational messages from my followers that pump me up and make me think, ‘Screw this. I’m going to go back out there and do better.’

    -

    What’s scarier, walking out at a beauty pageant or fighting BJJ?

    -

    There’s no comparison – fighting BJJ, 100%. Walking up on stage in a pretty dress and throwing on a smile is real easy. Standing face to face with somebody who could seriously injure you is not. Every fight could end with me getting choked out or having a limb broken. It’s terrifying, but what makes it so rewarding is the only person who can stop that from happening is me.

    Sets: 3 Reps: 15 each side Rest: 1min

    Photo: David Brown Automotive 

    One of the most beautiful modern cars in the world isn't available from the likes of Bentley, Aston Martin, or Ferrari. We're talking about the Speedback GT, a car we highlighted last year when it was first announced and now the company has given it the proper studio treatment it deserves. 

    With a design penned by Alan Mobberley, who served as Chief of Design at Land Rover for almost two decades, the Speedback GT is his finest work to date and is also a love letter to the classic European touring cars wrapped in a modern form. 

    Power comes from a Jaguar-sourced 5.0L supercharged V8 that produces 510-hp and 416 lb-ft of torque which will get it from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and will hit a top speed of 155 mph. The car will be making its American debut at this year's Quail Motorsports Gathering where its sure to steal attention away from the usual supercar set.

    Damin Lewis follows up his acclaimed run on Homeland with a new show as corrupt billionaire, Bobby Axelrod: 

    "BILLIONS is a bold, contemporary drama that melds the worlds of ultra-wealth, influence and corruption as personified in two highly ambitious opposing figures: hard-charging, blue-blooded, politically connected U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti) and brilliant, calculating, blue-collar billionaire hedge fund king, Bobby "Axe" Axelrod (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Damian Lewis). Set amongst the Machiavellian machinations of New York City power politics and finance, BILLIONS weaves a complex, intricate narrative featuring a high-stakes game of predator-versus-prey."

    Photo: Civilware 

    A solid knife is always handy when you least expect it and while a multi-tool or a folder can be incredibly useful, they tend to be a little larger and a bit cumbersome. That's where Civilware's Gripper Knife comes in. The knife is low-profile in form and built to cut through just about anything.

    The blade is cut from 1095 carbon steel and has a 1.5" blade and measures at a very pocket friendly 4.25". The knives come with a custom Kydex sheath in your choice of black, red, orange, or grey and keeps the blade locked in place so you won't have to worry about it falling out.

    $70, available now at Civilware

    As much as we love the classic silhouette of Oliver Peoples' popular Sheldrake frame, the standard model has always been a bit too narrow for us larger meloned folk. That all changes with the Sheldrake Plus, everything you've always wanted in that classic shape, but now in a larger frame. 

    Just like any Oliver Peoples frame, the glasses are well constructed and feature handcrafted, multiple layered acetate that gives each pair a unique pattern. The glasses are accented with custom plaques and you've got five-barrel hinges for long-lasting durability. You've also got a number of frame and lens option combos with tortoise and crystal styles with glare-cutting polarized glass, gradients, and tint-adjusting photochromic lenses.

    I love this photo of Francesco Smalto. Like his contemporaries Tommy Nutter and Edward Sexton, Smalto was known for combining high fashion with the highest standards of tailoring in the 1970s. His jackets had bold prints and odd details (sometimes coming without revers), but as he got older, his personal sense of style became a little more conservative. Still expressive, but just a little more toned down. In this picture, he’s wearing a mid-blue suit with a yellow and blue striped shirt, while a magenta pocket square spills out of his breast pocket. As I recently posted at Put This On, this is a great example of how to walk the fine line between conservative business dress and the sort of unbridled dandyism you see at Pitti Uomo.

    The nice thing about summer is that it’s not terribly difficult to be a little bolder with your clothing choices. In fact, the season almost demands it. A good place to start is to brighten up your colors. The Armoury, for example, has a range of mid-blue jackets from Ring Jacket, which range from royal blue to French blue. Sid Mashburn also has a few mid-blue sport coats worth looking into, while Ralph Lauren has something they call their Morgan basketweave. At a more affordable price point, check out Suitsupply.

    For bespoke, Minnis Fresco’s 520 is an easy choice. It’s a shade lighter than navy, and although it looks dark indoors, it becomes a nice mid-blue once you’re in the sun. I also recently picked up a jacket’s length of Delfino’s 1937, which is a hemp and wool blend with a nice mix of blue, black, and white yarns. No Man Walks Alone made some jackets this season from the slightly brighter shade of 1936, although it’s been long sold out. Interested customers might want to keep an eye on the store’s group-made-to-order runs, where customers can pull together and vote on which fabrics they’d like to see next. 

    Whatever you do, be careful not to go too bright. Our Mystery Man in the last photo below looks good, but on lesser men, you risk looking like Seth MacFarlane in that Steve Harvey Makeover sketch.

    Photo: Best Made 

    If you're going to knock out a great meal at the campsite, you might want to pack a some serious cooking hardware. While most options are clunky and cumbersome, Best Made has come through with their own skillet that they created with the help of a British iron foundry. 

    Their Takedown Skillet was constructed from a flat piece of iron that was turned on a lathe and is half the weight and has heat-retention properties like traditional cast iron pans. It's also compact, the skillet has a removable handle that attaches neatly under the pan so you can easily throw it into your pack and be ready to go for your next outing.

    Photo: RM Auctions 

    There's no denying that Ferrari makes some of the most beautiful cars on the planet and as much as we love their modern designs, they fail to capture the effortless elegance of the Ferraris of old.

    Case in point: The Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta 'Lusso' by Scaglietti. It needs no introduction and visually it not only continues to be one of the most beautiful cars on the planet, but also one of the most beautiful cars the company has ever produced.

    One incredible example is being put up for sale in September in London featuring its original color combination and matching numbers. This 250 features a 240 hp V12 that just received a complete rebuild with triple Weber carburetors, a four-speed manual, and a independent front suspension.

    -Outdoor climbing is a great way to build your strength without lifting weights. Here, speed climber Hans Florine explains the basics

    -
    -

    Rock climbing inside and outside works both explosive power and muscular endurance, all while developing your flexibility and grip strength. When it comes to building core strength, it puts sit-ups to shame. Hans Florine, who together with Britain’s Alex Honnold holds the speed climb record for fastest ascent of Yosemite’s El Capitan – one of the most difficult climbs in the world – explains what you need to know about scaling the outdoor rock.

    -

    Get hooked

    -

    ‘Gripping with your hands can wear your forearms out quickly,’ says Florine. ‘Rather than using your index and middle fingers (your power fingers), give them a rest by using your third and fourth fingers or by hooking the heel of your hand (between your palm and wrist) over holds.’

    -

    Do the twist

    -

    ‘Roll your shoulders and twist your hips into the wall as you climb. First-time climbers will tend to keep their chest facing the wall at all times and rely on the power of their arms to pull them up. If you twist your body so you’re side-on to the wall, you can get closer to it, reach higher and drive up with your legs, not your arms.’

    -

    6 moves to strengthen your legs

    -

    Hold true

    -

    ‘Endurance, both for strength and cardio, is vital for climbing. Develop yours in the gym by doing an isometric pull-up called “The Frenchy”. Do a pull-up and hold the top position for five seconds before lowering. Then do another pull-up and, as you lower, stop at the midpoint for five seconds. Finally, do another pull-up, lower and pause just before a dead hang for five seconds. Repeat this pattern as many times as you can before failure. Rest five minutes, then repeat.’

    -

    Try our full pull-up plan

    -

    Fall for it

    -

    ‘A bouldering fall from a height of just one metre creates enough force to break a limb, which means it’s essential that you know – and practise – how to fall properly. Always try to hit the ground with an open body system – with your arms and legs bent rather than straight – because this gives your joints room to flex.’

    -

    Learn the ropes

    -

    Drop knee: For reaching high handholds

    -

    Drop your knee inwards by turning your foot parallel to the rock. Now reach up for your next hold on the side closest to the wall. Your hips should be perpendicular to the wall. With less distance between your body and the rock, you can reach higher, effort-free.

    -

    Heel hook: For conserving energy

    -

    Hook your heel onto a high hold, such as a nook or outcrop, and use it as a base. This makes it easier to reach for smaller holds because you’re pulling less weight up. Bonus: you’ll also save energy in your arms by passing the strain on to the bigger muscles of your legs.

    -

    Flagging: For stabilising yourself

    -

    As you step up to reach for a hold, extend your inactive leg and rest it gently on the rock face, bringing it behind your supported leg if needed. Your hips should remain parallel to the rock. This counterbalances your movement by preventing you from swinging and wasting energy trying to hold yourself still.

    -Become a lean, mean powerful athlete like your caveman ancestors – all around your normal day

    -
    -

    With today’s technology and creature comforts, no-one from our pampered modern era would want to live like our prehistoric ancestors. But a recent study by the Phenotypic Adaptability, Variation and Evolution (PAVE) research group at Cambridge University analysed 6,000 years of agriculture and domestication, and the results suggest that civilisation has effectively turned us into flabby couch potatoes. We’re pretty much slobs compared to our pre-farming ancestors – so it’s time to put down the Xbox controller, pick up a spear and get back to your natural state. )Spear not necessarily required.)

    While prehistoric people ‘would eat a lot of meat, they didn’t have a lot of carbohydrates – no stodgy food,’ says archaeologist Dr Vicki Cummings of the University of Central Lancashire. A study published in the Journal Of Nutrition found that eating a low-carb, high-protein breakfast increased the fat-burning effects of exercise, and kept the subjects fuller for longer. Erwan Le Corre, the founder of MovNat, which he describes as ‘a fitness system based on natural movements’, is a big fan of the protein-rich breakfast. ‘It’s both delicious and highly nutritious, and it keeps me really satisfied.’

    There’s nothing to say you can’t have a breakfast steak, but you don’t have to. ‘Personally, in the morning it’s eggs with ghee or coconut oil, with some veggies – all grass-fed, non-GMO, gluten free,’ Le Corre says.

    -

    8am Commute

    -

    Perhaps not surprisingly, cavemen didn’t spend a lot of time waiting around for buses. ‘It was constant low-level to moderate activity,' says Dr Tim Ryan, professor of anthropology at Penn State University in the US. ‘Every individual would walk at least 5km a day and as many as 10 or 11km.’ They had bones so strong they put us 21st-century layabouts to shame, says the Cambridge University PAVE group study.

    Start commuting by foot – or if your workplace is a fair old trek away, walk to the next stop, or find a parking space that’s a decent distance away. While walking, throw in some tricks to increase healthy tension in bones and joints. ‘Walk on the edge of a sidewalk for some basic balancing, and use a fence or rail for stepping over or under,’ says Le Corre. You might also try wearing a heavy backpack to enhance the effect.

    -

    9am At work

    -

    ‘You didn’t get seats in pre-history,’ says Cummings. ‘And our ancestors almost certainly had better posture than us.’ That’s not the only benefit – a recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine journal shows that too much time spent sedentary dramatically increases your risk of early death. What’s more, a study in the American Journal of Health Promotion indicates that regular short bursts of exercise have the same benefits as longer, less frequent sessions.

    -

    Assuming you have an understanding boss, use the Pomodoro Technique – work for 25 minutes then spend five minutes walking around. Alternatively, Le Corre suggests a MovNat move he calls a tripod transition, which you can do at work.

    -

    1pm Lunch

    -

    Our primal ancestors got a lot more variety than your average Meal Deal offers. ‘They ate a huge range of things they could gather – tubers, nuts, berries and fruit,’ says Dr Cummings. Sometimes meat or fish was available, but sometimes it wasn’t. And of course, their diet changed with the seasons.

    -

    Prehistory today

    -

    Variety doesn’t mean a Crunchie one day and Haribo the next. ‘Experiment and see what makes you feel good, but be sure to choose unprocessed foods – veggies, fruit, meat, eggs, fish,’ says Le Corre. ‘As long as it’s fresh and you cook it yourself using healthy fats like coconut oil, you can’t go wrong.’ You don’t have to go full Paleo diet, but try to think like a forager and find the food you like.

    5pm Training

    -

    The ancients didn’t exercise as such – their life was exercise. ‘In the upper Palaeolithic there were big animals around like woolly mammoths,’ says Cummings. ‘Even something like a deer stag could be dangerous. Hunters would need quick reflexes.’

    -

    Prehistory today

    -

    Le Corre advocates what he calls ‘real-life physical competence’. ‘First learn to jump and lift with good technique,’ he says. Practise broad jumps (jumping as far as you can from a standing start) and depth jumps (jumping two-footed down from a raised platform), and use MovNat’s clean technique to lift. Bend, hingeing at the hips, to pick up one end of a heavy beam, drive up and ‘catch’ it at the top of your chest as you lower into a squat, then stand. ‘Once you’ve got the technique, learn to jump farther and land in more challenging ways, such as precision targeted landing,’ Le Corre says. ‘Lift heavier things – sandbags and logs are ideal – and carry them over difficult terrain.’

    -

    6pm Family time

    -

    ‘Hunter-gatherers basically spent all of their lives together in groups and there would always be an element of tutoring children,’ says Cummings. A study in the Archives Of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine indicates that children who exercise frequently perform better academically, while another published in The American Journal Of Medicine showed that intermittent action and rest periods, mirrored in children’s play, match our evolutionary activity ideal. So everyone wins if you spend some time getting active with the kids.

    -

    Prehistory today

    -

    In a way, MovNat is all about exercising like a child does before they learn about curls and triceps extensions. ‘Do all the things that you used to do when you were a kid – crawl, jump, balance, vault… that’s how kids build their natural movement and co-ordination,’ says Le Corre. Don’t have children? Well, you can still give it a go, no matter how much your girlfriend laughs at you crawling around.

    -

    8pm Dinner

    -

    Evidence indicates that the ancients had ‘music, singing, feasts, social events,’ according to Cummings. Frequent positive social interaction – as a study published in the Journal Of Health And Social Behaviour points out – doesn’t just make you feel happier, it can actually help us live longer, and this sociability contributed to a Paleolithic life expectancy of around 54, despite the danger-fraught world Stone Age people faced.

    -

    Prehistory today

    -

    Le Corre celebrates the end of his MovNat workshops with a big communal meal. Pick a day, invite a load of your favourite people, and pledge to host it on the same date every year – it’ll take some organisation, but the positive feelings you’ll get will make it worthwhile.

    -

    11pm Bedtime

    -

    Sleeping for roughly 8 hours out of 24 is a fundamental part of human physiology – but the idea of getting it all in one go is a modern one. In pre-industrial societies people slept in a way that suited their lifestyle and needs, rather than being governed by a clock or office hours. The key thing is to get good-quality sleep, which a Dutch study published in the European Journal Of Preventative Cardiology showed reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease and early death.

    -

    Prehistory today

    -

    Avoiding screen use in the hours before bed promotes melatonin production, which improves the quality of your sleep. If you’re not about to stop watching TV or surfing the web, wear orange-tinted glasses. These have been shown to prevent melatonin suppression and help you sleep better – all for less than £20, as long as you don’t mind looking like Bono.

    -Improve your personal bests with 7 quick exercises that will keep you injury-free by improving mobility

    -
    -

    If your self-improvement plan reads ‘harder/faster/heavier/more,’ you’re bound to injure yourself. Recent studies suggests that one in two runners injure themselves every year, and the numbers aren’t better for gym-goers. But there’s an upside: with a little more attention to how you move, and not how much, you’ll make instant improvements – injury-free.

    -

    Your assessment starts here:

    -

    There's no need for a warm-up, just do these seven tests in order. Make a note of how you do, then pick one standard to improve over the next seven days – studies show that small habits stick faster. And watch your PBs fall…

    -
    -
    -
    -

    1) Strength and endurance

    -

    Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, and squat Tabata-style: 20 seconds of work, ten seconds of rest, repeat eight times. Keep your back straight and knees in line with your feet. How do you get on?

    -

    A. Fewer than 10 squats per interval

    -

    B. 10+ squats per interval, but my form gets wobbly

    -

    C. 10+ squats per interval, with textbook form

    -

    ‘A proper squat is all about good hip and ankle function,’ says mobility expert Dr Kelly Starrett. ‘The Tabata protocol is a good way to introduce fatigue without injury.’ Can’t manage it? ‘Hang out in the squat,’ says Starrett. ‘Get into the bottom position – your knees shouldn’t be ahead of your toes – and stay there for ten minutes. If you need to, split it into chunks.’ And yes, you can do it while you watch TV.

    -

    2) Balance

    -

    Stand on one leg, feet pointing forward, and pull your knee to your chest. Drop your hands and try to keep your knee in the same place for 30 seconds. Then switch. Can you manage it?

    -

    A. No

    -

    B. Just about, for one leg

    -

    C. Yes, for both legs

    -

    Research published in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that most chronic running injuries are due to weak hip flexors and come from a sedentary lifestyle, which is why ultradistance runners such as Dean Karnazes use standing desks. Not an option? Make sure you get up every 15 minutes and ‘brace’ – flex your glutes and abs slightly, then keep your core tight as you sit down.

    -

    3) Ankle mobility

    -

    This move is a variation of the classic pistol. Drop into a squat with your feet together, pressing your knees out, then extend one leg, keeping your standing foot flat. How does that work out for you?

    -

    A. I can’t do it. At all

    -

    B. OK, but my heel comes off the ground

    -

    C. I can do it on both sides

    -

    ‘If you’re limited in dorsiflexion – flexing your foot – you’re missing out on a heap of elastic recoil that translates into power and speed,’ says Starrett. ‘Any time you go up a flight of stairs, stretch your calves. Spend 30 seconds with one foot on a step, your heel lowered, feeling the stretch.’

    -
    -
    -
    -

    4) Hip mobility

    -

    Get on all fours in front of a wall and place one knee at the base of the wall so your shin is up against it (use a towel if the floor’s hard). Draw your other knee up and plant your foot. Drive your hip towards the floor and hold for as long as you can. After a minute, raise your torso upright. How’s it feel?

    -

    A. Honestly? I can’t do this

    -

    B. I can do the first bit but I can’t bring my body upright

    -

    C. All fine

    -

    ‘I call this the couch stretch and it’s a weapons-grade technique for opening up the hip,’ says Starrett. ‘If you’re too tight to get into it, scale it back by putting a box in front of you. Put your weight on the box but don’t plant your leg, doing this daily for at least two minutes on each side will effect the tissue change you need to improve your posture, both when running and in everyday life.’

    -

    5) Jumping and landing

    -

    For this move you’re going to jump onto a box – but there’s a catch. Can you land with your feet pointing straight forward and your knees driving slightly outward?

    -

    A. No, my knees collapse inward

    -

    B. No, my feet spread out when I land

    -

    C. Yes, I jump like a gazelle

    -

    ‘Jumping and landing with good mechanics is central to almost any kind of movement,’ says mobility expert Jill Miller, creator of Yoga Tune-Up. ‘Dancers practise them all the time thinking about every shape and every detail.’ That’s a start, but skipping is your other secret weapon, Get a speedrope and make a three-minute routine part of your warm-ups.

    -

    6) Plantar flexion

    -

    Get into a kneeling position with your heels under your glutes and your feet pointing straight back. That’s OK, right?

    -

    A. Wrong

    -

    B. Just about, but keeping my feet straight is tricky

    -

    C. It’s totally fine

    -

    ‘Spending time in this position will work wonders for the shortened fascia in your feet and ankles,’ says Miller. Alternatively, stand on a lacrosse ball with one foot and work the ball up and down your arch, using your bodyweight to apply pressure and paying particular attention to any knots you find.

    -

    7) Shoulder mobility

    -

    Get on your hands and knees, with your shoulders directly above your wrists. Without moving the rest of your body, push into the ground with your hands and push your upper back towards the ceiling. Hold for five seconds, then relax and repeat. How’s that?

    -

    A. Almost impossible

    -

    B. All right, but a bit tiring

    -

    C. Fine

    -

    ‘If you spend too much time in front of a computer, you’re likely to end up with scapular mobility problems’ says physical therapist Jarlo Ilano of Gold Medal Bodies. The stretch above is the fix – but if you find it too easy, do the same move from a press-up position instead.

    -

    Injury-proof your shoulder 

    -

    YOUR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

    -

    Mostly As

    -

    This might seem like bad news, but there’s a silver lining: your less-than-stellar mobility means performance gains will be easy to come by. Set aside ten minutes a day to work on your weaknesses, and watch your 10K time tumble.

    -

    Mostly Bs

    -

    You’re in good shape. A few minor tweaks will fix you up, and you’ll be on course for greatness. Use the RescueTime app to salvage a few minutes of your day to fix yourself up.

    -

    Mostly Cs

    -

    Nice work – you’re a mobility machine. That means you can push yourself harder with less fear of injury. Download the Strava app and take on the world.

    Summer is a time for lazing out on the porch, drinking beers, and wearing sneakers. Back in 2011, the Japanese menswear magazine Lightening had a special issue dedicated to vintage Nikes – specifically those made between the years of 1971 and 1980. The issue covered everything from vintage basketball shoes to running sneakers, as well t-shirts, bags, and even campaign materials. Pictured here are scans from their section on tennis shoes, which includes a number of great shots of Nike’s made-in-Japan Wimbledons (which didn’t actually have anything to do with the Wimbledon, except that John McEnroe wore them to the event – and threw many temper tantrums in them). Front of the section also has a great shot of a tennis bag made for the 1972 Olympics in Munich, which might be one of the coolest sports bags I’ve seen in a while.

    If you want to explore the world of fragrances, there are few better entry points than one of Luca Turin’s guides. Turin is a fragrance critic and biophysicist, with a controversial theory about how scents are linked to vibration frequencies. Along with his book The Secret of Scent – which details the history and science behind his theory of olfaction – he’s also written a number of popular consumer guides. There’s Parfums: Le Guide, which is in French, and then a couple of English books that he’s co-authored with his partner, Tania Sanchez – Perfumes: The A-Z Guide and The Little Book of Perfumes. 

    What makes Turin great is that he’s not only knowledgeable, he also has an opinion and isn’t afraid to share it. Rare is the writer nowadays who both knows what he’s talking about and hasn’t been bought out by companies. In Perfumes: The A-Z Guide, for example, he regularly pans Creed – a fragrance house that’s not only commercially successful, but also widely popular in the fragrance community. For the company’s Millésime Imperial, Turin writes: 

    Creed’s claim to be being purveyors of perfume to various royal and imperial houses of Europe is dodgy: their use of the Three Feathers device (wisely minus the “Ich Dien” motto) on all their fugly packaging suggests they have a Royal Warrant from the Prince of Wales, which to our knowledge is not and has never been the case. One is inclined to take with a pinch of salt the long list of deceased emperors and empresses that they allegedly helped smell better. Ditto the supposed trouble to which they go to obtain rare essences and extracts: slow, expensive, and low-yield things like tinctures, which would make even Guerlain blanch. Creed’s perfumes make abundant use of synthetic materials (see Green Irish Tweed) and are only slightly above average in use of naturals. Now to Millésime Imperial: millésime in French is a pompous word for “year,” used by winemakers instead of année. I’m not sure what Creed means by it, but it sounds good. The fragrance is a mini Green Irish Tweed with more citrus – utterly unremarkable. 

    Then there are the snarky reviews, which can be a bit fun to read. The review for Paris Hilton’s “Just Me” literally just takes the company’s marketing language, with Turin adding at the end: “All true, unquestionably, hideously true.” (The male version of the same scent is also described with the simple line: “Ideal for her sort of guy.”)

    The book isn’t all negative, however, and being that perfumery is an art, one doesn’t have to agree with Turin’s opinions. For example, Turin pushes Habit Rouge as “one of the best masculine scents,” but I find it too powdery – like cosmetic powder on a woman’s cheek. He also likes Polo Sport for the same reasons I hate it (it’s intensely watery and green, like the scent of cheap, bright apples). At the same time, Turin has also introduced me to some of my favorites, such as Derby, New York, Ormonde Man, and Timbuktu. It’s easy to comb through the reviews with four to five star ratings and just sample what you please. 

    The problem with exploring the world of fragrances without Turin’s guide is that you often don’t know what you’re doing (at least if you’re just starting out). Scents can be heavily referential, so you’ll find others by reading descriptions that sound like something you already wear. Turin’s guide is simple and straightforward, without losing any of the nuances. My recommendation: buy the book and crosscheck the scents you’re interested in with Basenote’s review database (and maybe their forum). Then pick up samples at The Perfumed Court or Surrender to Chance. Wear the samples for a while and go back to Turin’s guides and Basenotes to learn more about what you’re smelling. Soon enough, you’ll be hooked.

    I can’t believe it took me over a year to get these boots. The market for shell cordovan, if you haven’t heard, has gotten crazy. Leather is a by-product of the meat trade, which means the decline in equine meat consumption has made it harder and harder for tanneries to get horsehides. Combine that with an increase in demand and the fact that it takes six times longer to tan shell than calf, and you have an increasingly rare leather. 

    Horween – the Chicago tannery that makes most of the shell cordovan used for footwear – has responded by focusing on dark colors, such as their famous #8 (a deep brown with hues of purple and red). That’s because light colors are trickier to tan and require completely unblemished hides (which make up only a small fraction of what Horween gets in). As a result, you can still get color #8 pretty easily, but almost nothing else. 

    There are some exceptions. Vass sometimes gets unusual colors in, and they’re happy to make things on a made-to-order basis (if you’re in the US, you’ll have to order through No Man Walks Alone). Carmina is another good source, and Viberg is slated to produce mahogany shell service boots later this year. Meermin has also switched to Japanese shell cordovan, which is slightly lighter and thinner than the Horween stuff, but just as beautiful and hard-wearing.

    My boots are from Alden of DC, who will take shell cordovan orders in a variety of colors. Usual models include longwings, plain toe bluchers, and a number of boots. These cap toes, for example, are built on Alden’s Grant last and made from Horween’s cigar shell. The Commando soles make these great for rainy days, while the speed hooks allow for easy lacing. To order a pair, you just have to call Alden of DC and put your name on a wait list. Doing so doesn’t guarantee anything, as you still have to wait for the leather to be produced. In my case, that took over a year, but hot damn – once you get that cigar shell in your hand, it feels worth it. 

    * Incidentally, I almost headlined this post with “Area Blogger Waits Over a Year to Get Ass,” but I consider this a family-friendly site.

    - -First, if you read the blog: you really are amazing. Thank you.

    - -Second, I’ve written here for more than seven years without a break—and I'm not anywhere close to being burned out. Why put a pause on something you love and find meaningful? Breaks are boring.

    - -This week, though, my family experienced an unexpected loss that has left us all shaken. While I would like to keep publishing posts without missing a beat, the reality is that I need to step away from the blog for a bit.

    - -How long is a bit? I’m not entirely sure right now. It will probably be at least 2-3 weeks, and possibly longer.

    - -I promise to be back as soon as I can. I love this work and will miss it while I’m gone.

    - -In the meantime, WDS is coming up in full force in Portland. We’re extremely excited to welcome thousands of people to town for our fifth annual celebration. If you’re coming, know that we have a highly capable team ready to welcome you. (And I’ll be there every moment too, of course.)

    - -Until we meet again, grace and peace be with you all.

    Is it too late for a Father’s Day post? Each year, Free & Easy dedicates an issue to what they call “Dad’s Style,” which is their way of referring to classic or traditional men’s clothing. Of course, when Free & Easy talks about classics, they mostly mean it in the hip sense. If your dad actually owns anything featured in this magazine, there’s a good chance you were conceived at Pitti Uomo. 

    Still, previous issues have featured men such as Bruce Boyer and Christian Chensvold, both of whom have genuinely classic (and good) taste. I also like some of the things they photograph. There are the usual things that Japanese style editors fawn over, such as Brooks Brothers jackets and Alden shoes, to more unusual items, such as vintage bags and raincoats from Arnys and Invertere. I also really like those split-toes from JM Weston (misleadingly described below as “u-tips”). They look like Edward Green’s Dovers on steroids, and possibly just the thing to wear with heavy cavalry twill trousers.

    Granted, even among the genuinely classic pieces, I don’t know how much of this really reflects “dad style.” But if the last few weeks of menswear sales are any indication, Father’s Day isn’t really aimed at fathers anyway.

(Read others or nominate yourself.)

    - -Dissatisfied with the typical suburban lifestyle, the Boyinks packed up their teenagers and hit the road. For the past five years, they've lived together in an RV, traveling America, meeting like-minded families and having adventures.

    - -
    Originally, we traveled based on what we wanted to see. Now, we focus on who we want to be with. We’ve made friends with other traveling families and route planning is more collaborative.

    - -Admittedly, there’s been some talk of finding land where we could all park our RV’s, let our kids hang out, grow a garden together, and just come and go as the need arises. The more we talk about it the more it starts to sound like a hippie commune...but maybe that isn’t so bad.

    Pitti Uomo started yesterday, and with it, the semi-annual deluge of street style photos. I’ve mostly stopped paying attention over the years, as attendees seem to dress wackier and wackier, although there’s one guy who always catches my eye (when someone is able to photograph him, anyway). We’ll call him Our Mystery Man because … well, there’s not that much info about him. He’s supposedly a Japanese rep for some Italian brands, but no one seems know anything beyond that. (Also, “Our Mystery Man” is catchier than “Supposedly a Japanese Rep for Some Italian Brands”). 

    Instead of the loud colors and wacky patterns you see on other Pitti Uomo attendees, Our Mystery Man mostly relies on solid dark blues and mid-grays. Shoes are almost always brown suede, although the occasional sneaker or driving loafer makes an appearance. And although there are often hints of #menswear in his style – such as the short trousers that echo Thom Browne or the pairing of tailored clothing with casualwear – he always looks great. Even when he pulls off unusual combinations, such as that time he was photographed in a grey herringbone sport coat with semi-matching, but not quite there, grey trousers. Is this true sprezzatura by a man who manages to look regal no matter what? Like his identity, I suppose we’ll never know. 

    If you’re interested in following more Pitti street style coverage, Neo Retro Street Style, EFV, and Journal of Style are worth a follow. All three have slightly more classic – if not at least conservative – bends than other photographers. I also really like Tommy Ton’s work over at Style.com, but mostly when he’s shooting streetwear, rather than the unconventional takes on tailored clothing. For editorial coverage, you can follow the UK edition of GQ and this StyleForum tag (you’ll have to be a StyleForum member to subscribe). Voxsartoria is also doing parody news reports from his Twitter account, which is often more amusing than reality.

    I’ve been a client of Steed’s for two years now, having ordered about a half dozen jackets and a couple of pairs of pants. At this point, I can’t imagine a better tailoring firm. You have to like their house style, of course. Soft, English tailoring with a bit of drape and a nipped waist. Edwin, the cutter behind the firm, recently told me he was struck by how closely his patterns resemble those made by Frederick Scholte (whose patterns were posted on StyleForum). Apparently, along with the signature drape cut, Steed also uses a taller crown on their sleeveheads, much like the original Dutch-English tailor. 

    There aren’t enough good things I can say about the company. Their make is excellent, with hand-constructed canvases and shoulder pads, neat finishing, and beautiful shaping. Their house style is distinctive, but classic, and their service is outstanding. So much so, in fact, that you might not realize it until you hear other people’s horror stories (it’s easy to miss good service when everything goes right). Yes, Steed skips to the forward fitting (more on that in another post), but that doesn’t mean much since Edwin is always glad to take things back for adjustments if you’re unhappy. That, to me, is the Gold Standard when it comes to bespoke, since you often don’t know how you feel about something until you’ve worn it for a while. 

    In any case, Edwin and his son Matthew were in town this week. I had lunch with them and one of Steed’s other customers (a well dressed software engineer from Apple, who showed up in a tan Fresco suit, white shirt, and red striped grenadine tie). Afterwards, I was fitted for a new Donegal sport coat and flipped through some books for faux tweeds. The Worsted Alsport and Glorious Twelfth bunches are good standbys, although there were also some notables from Hunt & Winterbotham’s Twister and Brook Taverner (the second feeling a bit like Moonbeam). I like the brown glen plaid designs, but wish the checks were a little bigger. Maybe time for a custom run?

    Lastly, some news: Steed is thinking about adding Las Vegas to their tour, so if you’re in the area and interested in becoming a client, you might want to drop them a note. Matthew also just co-founded a new company called Savile Row Golf, which aims to provide men with clothes they can wear both on and off the golf course. The company is starting with a line of tailored trousers (both ready-made and custom). Designed with a higher rise and constructed from bold fabrics, these will look like the kind of pants worn by golf legends such as Arnold Palmer. Reach out to him if you’re interested.

    UK clothier End might be the only webstore that rivals Mr. Porter in terms of selection. They start their end-of-season sale today, where you can take 25% (almost) everything with the checkout code SALEPREVIEW. Some notables include:

    • Outerwear: There’s some really great outerwear from Aspesi, Ten C, and Nanamica. Battenwear is worth a look if you want a hooded parka that’s slightly slimmer fitting than what you might get from Sierra Designs. There’s also a large selection from Barbour, although only certain models can be shipped to the United States. 
    • Nigel Cabourn: One of my favorite designers. I’m really bummed End didn’t pick up this season’s tan Aircraft jacket in a size 36. 
    • Sneakers: Lots of nice, minimally designed sneakers from ETQ, Buttero, and Common Projects. There’s also a great selection from Nike, as well as a couple of basic German Army Trainers from Maison Margiela.
    • Rainwear: I really like Mackintosh, although if you want something more casual, there are some nice models from Elka and Stutterheim. 
    • Basics: For the kind of warm minimalism I wrote about a few months ago, you can check out APC, Norse Projects, and MHL.
    • Workwear: Yea, yea, yea, blog’s name and all. Anyway, there’s a nice selection of workwear this season from RRL, Orslow, and Levis Vintage Clothing. Neighborhood also has some nice flannels, while Engineered Garments has some outerwear. 
    • Knitwear: Check out the textured knitwear from Inverallan and SNS Herning. Last season’s fall/ winter stock has been heavily discounted.
    • Bags: Head Porter’s designs can be a little funky, but I like their simpler models, such as this Tanker briefcase. Master Piece is also worth a look for backpacks (I was kind of tempted by this one last night).
    • Orlebar Brown: The pared down designs and adjustable side tabs on these swim shorts make them look a little more refined than the loud, drawstring models you see elsewhere. 
    • Comme Des Garcons: A great niche label for fragrances, although you might want to be familiar with the scents before buying online. For what it’s worth, I wear Wonderwood (which smells woody) and 2 (which smells inky). 
    • Sunglasses: For summer, there’s a nice selection of sunglasses from Randolph Engineering and Persol. 
    • Sale stock: Also worth a look is End’s already discounted sale selection. The sale code doesn’t seem to stack, although the discounts are pretty good already.

When the temperature rises many of your usual go-to’s, like wool blazers and heavy sweaters, become no-go’s. And what you’re left with—shorts, t-shirts, and polos—seem too casual for even your most casual days. But the fact is, dressing for the summer should be the same as any other season, just slightly tweaked for the heat.

    - Don’t change your style, change your fabric.

    -

    - Enjoy wearing sweaters? Go ahead and wear one in the summer, just make sure it’s made from a breathable fabric, like linen. 

    -

    - Prefer pants to shorts? There are plenty of lightweight options to help keep you comfortable without exposing those pasty winter legs to the world.

    -

    - Like wearing sport coats? Try one made from cotton, linen, silk, or any blend thereof. You’ll look and feel great from June through August.

    - When it comes to dressing for the summer, there are three words to live by: you do you. Just do it in something a little cooler.

    The latest issue of Free & Easy has a nice little feature on sneaker repair shops in Japan.

Fingers crossed, I’m hoping to compile a list of similar shops in the US, which will be published at Put This On.

    Traditions in men’s clothing are great, although sometimes a little innovation isn’t so bad either. For the cool, damp mornings we’ve been having in the Bay Area, I’ve been breaking out my Gore-Tex parka. Gore-Tex is sometimes used as a generic name for all weatherproof/ breathable fabrics – much like how Kleenex is used for facial tissues and Jell-O for gelatin – but in fact, like those other products, it’s something very specific. 

    Originally introduced in the 1970s, Gore-Tex is a trademarked name for a kind of multi-layer shell. The outermost layer is typically treated with a durable, water resistant finish (to help water bead off the surface). Beneath that is a thin and flexible membrane, which has a web-like structure with billions of microscopic pores per square inch. This membrane is fine enough to not let water droplets through, but allows heat and humidity to escape. And finally, just below that is a protective, breathable film to help keep dirt and oils away from the sensitive membrane. 

    All this makes Gore-Tex a much more breathable fabric than traditional weatherproofing systems, such as bonded or waxed cottons. Which means it’s also a lot more comfortable to wear in cool, but not quite cold, weather conditions (like we’ve been having this Spring). My Gore-Tex jacket is from Nanamica, a Japanese label that specializes in outerwear and bags. Seen above is their company’s flagship model, the Cruiser, which is available at End and Barneys. You can also find Gore-Tex jackets through brands such as Patagonia and Arc’teryx, although I think the “heritage-y” designs from Musto might be easier to wear. 

    My Cruiser here is seen with:

    • Stephen Schneider’s Addict sweater: A loosely knit, but sturdy, cotton sweater from this season’s Stephan Schneider collection. The open-weave not only makes this highly breathable (you can almost feel every breeze blowing through), but also lends some nice surface interest to an otherwise plain ensemble. 
    • 3sixteen SL-100x jeans: An old pair of 3sixteen jeans from the company’s second run of fabric with Kaihara Mills (they’re with Kuroki now). This denim started off raw, but has since yielded some nice vertical streaks and strong contrast fades. 
    • Common Projects b-ball highs: One of my favorite sneakers this season. The price is high, but I love the minimalist take on Nike’s Air Force 1s. You can, of course, just get the all-white version of Nike’s Air Force 1s, but the silhouette will be a bit chunkier. 
    • Brooks England Pickwick bag: A minimalist rolltop bag from the bicycle saddle manufacturer Brooks England. I love the simple, pared-down design and large compartment space. You can get these directly from Brooks England, but they’re also available for a bit cheaper through Sierra Trading Post and Mr. Porter. 
    • Don’t Mourn Organize belt: A hand-stained belt made from a slightly shaved-down saddle leather. Scott, the man behind Don’t Mourn Organize, makes some of the best value belts I’ve seen anywhere (at least for casual, rugged styles).

A Guide to Cuffing Pants]]> - - “Trend” is a four-letter word at Trunk Club—we don’t like them. That said, the topic of rolling pants raises an interesting question: While rolling the bottom of your pants is, as the fashion world would say, “having a moment,” can something be called a trend if it’s been happening for more than 100 years?

    -

    - Before pre-shrunk denim was introduced in the ’60s, men would buy jeans a few sizes too large—and a bit too long—knowing they’d shrink. This meant rolling the bottom was necessary to eliminate too much bunching at the ankle (it also served as a nice place to keep a pack of cigarettes). The cuff resurfaced in the ’80s, this time a little higher and a little tighter. Like many questionable trends of the ’80s, Milli Vanilli and mullets to name a few, that look isn’t something we’d like to relive. Nevertheless, the roll lives on, so we’re here to shed some light on the topic and provide a few guidelines for rolling without going too far.

    - The Casual Roll: 
    -     Rolling is a relaxed move, so it works best with casual shoes like sneakers, boat shoes, and boots. Especially boots. How much to roll? We typically cap it at twice depending on the length of your pants.

    - The Semi-Casual Roll:
    - We don’t recommend rolling with streamlined dress shoes because the contrast doesn’t work. That said, loafers are hardly dress shoes, so a slight roll is appropriate— - preferably sockless.

    - The Very-Casual Roll (otherwise known as the Vacation Roll): 
    -     All things are a little more relaxed when the temperature rises, and that goes for the rules of rolling as well. Go ahead and give your cotton or linen pants a slightly higher roll and let your ankles catch the breeze. This is the kind of look that says the only question on my mind is, “salt or no salt?”

    - Salt. Always salt.

    What the hell happened to spring? We’re a good two months into the season, with summer being exactly a month away, but it still feels like the last days of winter. I had a chance to break out a linen suit a few weeks ago, when the temperatures climbed into the mid-80s, but it’s been too cold to wear anything breathable since then. It’s almost like spring never came.

    One option I’ve been relying on is a “faux tweed” sport coat I had made through Napoli Su Misura. The term “faux tweed” refers to how the fabric has the sort of district check you’d expect to see on a traditional tweed, but none of the prickly surface. Instead, it’s made from a smoother, worsted wool, making it something like a citified version of a country cloth. Indeed, some people don’t like faux tweeds because they feel like they’re neither fish nor fowl, but they’re also perfect for those days that feel the same. Spring can be an awkward time for tailored clothing, when you might want something to match the gloomy weather, but wearing a real tweed can feel wrong in May.

    You can find faux tweeds in a number of books. Porter & Harding’s Glorious Twelfth and Hudderfield’s Worsted Alsport are two of the most popular. Voxsartoria, pictured below, is seen wearing something from the first, while StyleForum member Mafoofan, pictured above, is wearing something from the second. There’s also Harrison’s Moonbeam, which is made from a wool and angora blend. It has a plush, almost cashmere-like feel, and a bit more nap than the two aforementioned sources. No Man Walks Alone has a ready-to-wear Moonbeam sport coat available this season, which was made for them by Sartoria Formosa in Naples. 

    Wear faux tweeds with silk neckties and heavier weight 14oz flannel trousers. You can read about warm weather clothes on the internet, where people pretend they don’t know what it looks like outside.

    Someone on StyleForum last month commented on how it seems everything has been discovered and there are no more new tailors or shoemakers, or even worthwhile ready-to-wear brands, to talk about. Nothing could be further from the truth. In Naples and London alone, there are plenty of young, independent artisans just starting their own firms. You just have to know where to look. 

    Recently, a new bespoke shoemaker has emerged in the form of Nicholas Templeman, a former employee of John Lobb of St. James in London. Templeman worked at Lobb for about seven years – serving as the company’s fitter and lastmaker – before striking out on his own. His house style is classic and English, with construction techniques that closely follow West End traditions. That means the last making, lasting, and welting are all done by hand, with only the sewing of the uppers being executed by machine.

    image


    Templeman makes his lasts with a large, hinged blade known as a stock knife, which you can see him use in the photo below. Stock knives aren’t used much anymore – even in bespoke houses – because they take up too much room and require too much finesse to operate. Plus, there’s the problem of keeping the blade sharp, which requires another set of skills altogether. Still, they’re useful for chopping down wood for pegs, clogs, and bespoke lasts. 

    Unlike some makers, Templeman doesn’t make his lasts by modifying already-existing Springline forms. Instead, he starts with a “master form,” which is effectively a large blob of wood that vaguely resembles a last. This gets chopped down by the large stock knife, and then rasped and filed away until it takes its final shape. In the photo above, you can see the “master form” on the left (it comes to him in different sizes, as needed) and then the final last on the right. Starting with an already turned block of wood allows him to get a head start in chopping things down, without compromising any of his creative work. 

    Templeman says the method for lastmaking isn’t what’s important though. “What’s crucial is that the lastmaker gets a result that works for him,” he says. “I use a stock knife because I like using it, and if I were to stop, it would feel like a bit of history and tradition is being thrown away.” 


    image


    One of the things that strikes me as unique about Templeman’s work – as opposed to the few remaining bespoke British shoemakers – is that Templeman largely does everything himself. Some of the work is sent out to outworkers, such as sewing the uppers when he gets backed up, but all of the important steps (i.e. making the lasts, pulling the uppers, attaching the soles, and fitting the client) are fully done by him. To the degree that you can get a pair of shoes with one maker’s thumbprint on it, this is it. 

    Templeman plans to visit the US this year, touring through the cities of New York, Boston, and Chicago in October, and then coming back in six months for fittings. If you’re interested in seeing him, you can contact him through his website (even if you’re in another city, it might be worth expressing your interest). For future orders, he says he prefers to conduct fittings. “Beyond just fitting the shoes,” he says, “you have to fulfill the small details in the client’s mind – such as the outline of the lake, length of the toe, and silhouette of the heel.” However, if that’s not possible, he can also take orders over the phone or email, once you have your last made.

    Is it 60 degrees or warmer outside?
    Do you like to dress casually, but not too casually?
    Would you like an alternative to your favorite polo shirt?

    - If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s time to incorporate the short-sleeved button-down shirt into your wardrobe.

    -

    - Thanks to Apollo–era NASA employees and the cast from Office Space, short-sleeved button-down shirts have gotten a bad rap. Despite its questionable history, we consider the short-sleeved button-down a summertime staple, and believe it can easily be pulled off by following three guiding principles: 

    - 1.) Pay close attention to fit. Like any piece of clothing, short-sleeved button-downs need to fit well in order to look great—and that’s especially true when it comes to their sleeves.

    - 2.) Keep it untucked. Most short-sleeved button-downs are cut shorter than your typical dress shirt, which makes it pretty difficult to tuck them in. That’s an intentional detail, and you can think of it as the designer’s way of saying, “Relax. This is a casual shirt, and it should be worn as such.”

    - 3.) Leave your necktie (and blazer) at home. As a rule of thumb, if you’re wearing a necktie, blazer, or sport coat, your shirt should be tucked in. Since this shirt looks best untucked, you can leave the business attire behind. Just wear it like you would your favorite polo shirt.

    Brooks Brothers’ mid-season Friends & Family sale starts today. Take 25% off with the checkout code BBFNF25. Some of the best deals are in the footwear and sale sections, the second of which is where you can stack discounts (there’s some particularly good outerwear, such as this brown leather bomber). Also worth checking out are some of the Black Fleece shirts, which come down to $73 after discount. 

    My suggestion for browsing the footwear selection: sort by highest price first. Anything above $300 is usually Brooks Brothers’ better-made models. They do have some nice Superga sneakers for cheap though, should you need something for summer. 

    Also notable: Filson and JW Hulme luggage, as well as my favorite pair of shell cordovan shoes. The checkout code even applies to some Edward Green footwear.

    Believe it or not, the internet is over twenty years old, but despite that being more than a hundred in Internet Years, online clothing retailers have some of the worst product photography known to man. Models either look awkwardly stiff and uncomfortable (see SSENSE and Tres Bien) or they’re inexplicably made anonymous with their heads cropped off (see Mr. Porter and Barney’s). 

    My favorite model is the one at Gentry, who has taken the craft of wearing clothes in front of a camera to a high-art. His poses are expressive, engaging, and mysterious – but in ways that go beyond the usual dead stares you see in fashion ads. No, he’s mysterious because you never really quite understand what’s going on. Is he gesturing at something, talking to the photographer, or doing the hokey pokey? Here are my favorites, along with some guesses on what he’s saying. 



    image

    “Hold on Jerry, while I go get some pants.” 


    image

    "Mama mia! J’how are you going to sell ready-made pents for $500?”


    image

    “HEY, enough with the ‘reads Four Pins once’ joke.”


    image

    “See, you can *literally* elevate a whole outfit by barely placing a cap on your head.”


    image

    "I call this my air-blogger pose.”


    image

    "OK, for my first Howcast video, I’ll show you how to Dougie.”


    image

    "You know I don’t need this modeling job right? My Howcast career is about to take off.”

    Take note, fashion retailers: this is how your models should look. No more overly serious poses for the ridiculous act of trying to sell clothes. Menswear should be fun.

We wear white pants year-round at Trunk Club HQ, and encourage you to do the same. Still, we’re always happy to see more white pants popping up around Memorial Day, and although they make a strong option for colder months, white pants are essential for spring and summer.  Below you’ll find our suggestions for incorporating them into your warm-weather wardrobe.

    If you’re familiar with our Six Essentials, you know that versatility is a key factor when we choose clothes for our inventory. That’s part of the reason why we’re big fans of white pants, which you can dress up with blazers, or dress down with casual shirts and sweaters (as we’ll see later in this post). Also, white works with almost every other color, provided that it’s strong. A safe bet for looking good in white pants: Make sure there’s contrast, as with the following outfit. 

    Generally speaking, pairing lighter blazers with white pants will give an outfit more of an vacation look. Of course, it’s not a vacation if you already live in Nantucket, where pink blazers and boat shoes are standard. It’s also possible to wear softer, more monochromatic blazers with white pants, but things start to get tricky with neutrals like tan and beige. 

    If you’re looking for a blazer for summer, we recommend going with something unstructured. As we mentioned to the folks at Valet magazine, it’s very difficult—but not quite impossible—to strip the lining and padding out of a blazer and still have it drape perfectly. Lucky for those of us who like to wear blazers throughout the warmer months, some brands have mastered the technique.

    Our selection of white pants includes both jeans and trousers. Dark denim is a magnet for sunlight, so white jeans offer a solid alternative for summer afternoons spent outdoors. Also, denim is resilient and relatively heavier, so if you plan to wear white pants year round—as you should—jeans will make a good investment. On the other hand, nothing embodies classic summertime style like white trousers.

    There’s no doubt that white pants make a statement, but the attention-grabbing factor involves more than just loud color. White pants also carry an enduring association with wealth and prestige. While reporting on the origins of the “no white after Labor Day” nonsense, TIME magazine had this to say about the early 20th century: “…white was the uniform of choice for Americans well-to-do enough to decamp from their city digs to warmer climes for months at a time…”

    Able to work with nearly any color, capable of deflecting hot summer rays, and subconsciously associated with prosperity, white pants are the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. Just don’t be afraid to keep wearing them later this year when the temperatures dip.

    A Knife Life Trailer

    Our friend Gianluca – who directed O’Mast, among many other things – has a new documentary coming out on G. Lorenzi, a famous, near-century-old Milanese shop for knives and fine accessories. They unfortunately closed down last year, much to the dismay of many. We shot part of our second season at the store and Jesse once called it the most amazing shop he’s ever visited. 

    At the moment, Gianluca is working out the details for the film’s distribution, but he tells us that he can set up a pre-order for the DVD if people are interested. I’ve already told him I’m ready to place an order and you can to by emailing him here.

    - Sure, there have been a few hyper-successful entrepreneurs to deviate from the norm—like Zuckerberg, who took Facebook public in his signature zip-up, and Steve Jobs, who had a designer create him enough black turtlenecks to last a lifetime. But, just because some people have changed the world in casual clothing doesn’t mean that the power suit is dead—or worse, has been replaced with a sweatshirt.

    - To check in on the current state of the power suit, we met with Michael Barkin, Trunk Club’s VP of Custom Clothing and resident style guru.

    - “In today’s world,” Michael says, “what I’d consider a power suit highlights fit and brings in elements of formality—like having peak lapels, versus notch lapels, and only one button. It’s a lot different than the Gordon Gekko era of the 80s and 90s, when a lot of suits had big, bold pinstripes and were generally pretty bulky.

    -

    - “At its core, a power suit is supposed to instill confidence. You wear it on important occasions when you need to voice your opinions and show your personality. During those times, you don’t want to be wearing something loud and flashy that distracts whoever you’re meeting with. You want a suit that’s simple, yet dramatic, and helps you look and feel your best. ”

    -  The term comes from an unfortunate encounter that Bing Crosby (the guy who sings White Christmas) had at a Vancouver hotel in 1951. He and a friend showed up wearing jeans, tried checking in, and were swiftly turned away—jeans weren’t considered appropriate attire at the time. Levi’s caught word and presented Crosby with a gift: a tuxedo jacket made of denim. Inside the jacket was a label warning “hotel men everywhere” that anyone wearing jeans should be allowed entrance. So, the term—often mistaken to be negative—is actually a positive display of America’s rebellious character.

    - While we don’t recommend investing in a tuxedo jacket made of denim, wearing a denim shirt with a pair of jeans looks great whether you’re dressing for the weekend, trying to break up a monotonous dress shirt rotation, or even checking into a Canadian hotel.

    -

    - Pulling it off:
    -     When we say “denim” shirt, what we actually mean is a “chambray” shirt. Chambray is a sturdy, cotton fabric that looks similar to denim, but has a smoother texture and a lighter weight. Because the two fabrics are so similar in appearance, pairing them together is often perceived to be a challenge. However, the trick to wearing a chambray shirt with jeans is pretty simple: just make sure to create contrast between the color of the shirt and the color of the pants—light shirt with dark jeans, and dark shirt with light jeans (or better yet, white jeans).

    -

    - Wearing it in the workplace:
    -     Chambray shirts with front pockets are often referred to as “work shirts” because factory workers typically wore them in the early 1900s (that’s where the term “blue collar” comes from). But these days, that utility-built style is actually best saved for less labor-intensive weekends and casual work environments. If your office is more formal, there are chambray shirt options that feature a clean, pocketless front and structured collars more suitable to be paired with a tie—just make sure to ditch your silk tie for one with a little more texture, like cotton or linen. 

    -

    - It’s safe to say that most guys’ wardrobes are heavy in blue. That said, don’t think of a chambray shirt as just another blue variety in your collection. This denim lookalike deserves a place of its own in your closet, and will help break up your daily rotation of standard solids and checks.

    In our “Custom Conversations” series, we talk to Trunk Club members who have used our custom-clothing service about the one-of-a-kind items they’ve had made. For the third post in the series, we caught up with Adam McGaughy, one of our Chicago–based members who works in commercial real estate.

    Your stylist, Jodi, mentioned that in your two years as a Trunk Club member, you’ve built quite the custom-clothing collection.

    Adam: The custom program was the primary reason why I joined Trunk Club. So far I’ve had about six sport coats, five suits, and a topcoat made. Being able to pick up jeans or the occasional off-the-rack item is great, but for the most part, it’s custom for me.

     What were your initial thoughts when you tried on your first custom suit?

    I just looked better. You know, I didn’t lose weight, but I almost felt like I was thinner because everything finally fit the right way. I’d worn boxy, ill-fitting suits from department stores for so many years. All of a sudden it was like, “Wow, my sleeves hit where they’re supposed to, and the jacket closes well, and my pants actually fit properly—all that excess fabric is gone.”

    Now that I’m used to having clothes that fit, there’s just no turning back.

    There’s no end to the ways you can personalize custom clothing. Have you added any unique details to the items you’ve had made?

    So, my wife and I met at Michigan State—I graduated in ’90, she graduated in ’91. We’re both big into football, and State won the Rose Bowl in ’87–’88, but back then we didn’t know each other. We always talked about seeing State play the next time they made it to the Rose Bowl, but that never really happened.

    When we got married, we agreed, and I quote: “No matter how many kids we have, or how busy we are, we’re going to the Rose Bowl next time Michigan State’s playing.” So, finally, on January 1st of 2014, we were able to take our family to the big game and State ended up winning. It’s an important date to me, so I had it stitched into the lining of one the first sport coats I had made.

    A lot of guys tell us they get complimented pretty often when they wear their custom clothes. Has that proven true with the items you’ve had made?

    The first thing I had made here was a navy-blue pinstriped suit. I was wearing it while traveling for work, and when I was on the plane, one of the older flight attendants outright said to me, “Wow, it’s nice to see someone dressed sharp and professional on an airplane today. So many travelers just look frumpy.”

    Moving forward, are there any items you’d like to have made?

    I think that most people getting into custom start with the basics. I did the opposite. I’ve had a lot of bold pieces made, because my thought process was, “Why spend the money on the basic pieces if I can always find them off-the-rack?” But, I’ve found that those off-the-rack items tend to wear out quickly, and definitely don’t fit as well. So I’d rather just invest in custom. 

    Since I constantly dress up for work, the next step is going to be building out a solid rotation of basic suits. Well, either that or getting a bright-red sport coat.

Whether or not jeans are appropriate for your industry, we have a tip for all business travelers: Be sure to toss a pair of denim into your duffel bag when packing for your next trip. On your return flight home—when your meetings are over and the deals are done—you’ll thank us.

     These days, many premium brands are weaving their denim with elastane, a material that adds a touch of stretch to an otherwise stiff fabric. Given the cramped quarters within most commercial airplanes, wearing pants that offer maximum range of motion can be the difference between an enjoyable flight or an excruciating one—especially if the guy in front of you decides to recline his seat.

    If “jeans with stretch” sounds like something your wife or girlfriend might have in her closet, you’re right—women have been reaping the benefits of elastane for decades. That said, there’s nothing feminine about wearing comfortable pants. In fact, there are only two differences between elastane-equipped jeans and the 100-percent cotton variety you might be used to: (1) they feel better, and (2) since the fabric bounces back, you can wear them all day and they won’t sag, bag, or lose their shape. 

    You’re now free to move (and sit comfortably) about the cabin.

    - When traveling, you’re surrounded by dietary challenges—unfamiliar restaurants, lousy food options at the airport, and limited time for working out. According to Trunk Club’s CEO, Brian Spaly, the trick to traveling healthy is holding yourself to similar values around what you eat, whether you’re at home or on the road.

    We recently caught up with Brian, who spends much of his time traveling to our five clubhouse locations, and asked for his best tips on navigating the unhealthy obstacles of business travel. 

    - Six O’clock Is Sustainable
    -     Brian: “If you’re up at 4am, you’re garbage from 5pm onward. The only upside of catching that early flight is that the plane is there and it’s rarely delayed. If you can control a little bit of your own time, book a flight that actually works with your schedule. I often won’t book flights until 10am. That way I can wake up at 6am, work out, and eat a healthy breakfast before I hit the road. It’s about having a routine that’s actually sustainable.”

    - The Chinese Buffet Is Underrated
    -     “Your number-one temptation at the airport will be to eat a sandwich—they’re everywhere, they’re quick, and they’re easy. Don’t do it. Sandwiches are not good for you—bread, meat, and cheese, there’s no nutritional upside.  You get a double order of the mixed vegetables on rice. There’s no MSG in that stuff—it’s a pretty healthy meal. You’re only hurting yourself if you stop and get a ham and cheese sandwich. That’s where people go wrong, they just make bad decisions.”

    - No Crackers, No Bullshit
    -     “I think the classic business-traveler move is ‘I’m traveling next week so I’m not going to buy any groceries.’ If you don’t have any groceries in your house, you’re not going to eat healthy. Make sure to keep healthy food at home so that you can take it with you. For me, this is oranges, apples, nuts, pomegranate seeds—it’s fun stuff. You can get all of that through security. That’s always my go-to plane snack. No crackers, no bullshit.”

    - Walk the Walk
    -     “Walking is one of the most underutilized tools for staying healthy and fit. I’m looking for chances to walk everywhere I go when I travel. I often try to pick a restaurant that’s about a mile from my hotel and I walk there and back—15 minutes to the restaurant and 15 minutes home. The difference between that and taking a cab is only about 10 minutes, and it’s the difference between feeling good and not feeling good when you sit down at dinner.”

    - Eat the Fried Calamari
    -     “My rule at all times is to eat a healthy breakfast, a healthy lunch, and whatever comes my way for dinner. If you get into the habit of trying to find a healthy dinner it’s a lot more discouraging and a lot less fun. It’s not boring to have a salad for lunch—it’s actually pretty effective. What is boring is not drinking at a work event and not having the fried calamari at some cool restaurant. I firmly believe that you’ll drive yourself totally crazy if you’re around delicious food and alcohol and don’t let yourself indulge a little.”

    putthison:

    The Denim Dress Shirt

    Dress shirt fabrics are pretty straightforward. Most are plain weaves, twills, and oxfords. Some are end-on-ends. In solid colors and stripes — and in whites and light blues — you can have a wardrobe of just these fabrics and essentially have the tailored-side of your shirt wardrobe covered. 

    If you want to dress down a sport coat or casual suit, however, it’s useful to have some things in slightly more unusual materials. Maybe some linens or brushed cottons, or some things with bolder patterns. There’s also denim, which isn’t a fabric you typically think of when it comes to dress shirts, but it can look great underneath the right jacket.

    I feel in love with the idea last year, when I saw this Hodinkee episode with John Goldberger. He’s seen wearing a hard-finished, checked tweed; a pair of tan, five-pocket corduroy pants; and a light-blue, washed denim shirt. The shirt and corduroys are a great way to dress down the tweed jacket, but also complement its rustic sensibility. 

    Proper Cloth’s Custom Denim Shirts

    I’ve been looking for a denim shirt ever since, so I was pretty excited to hear that our advertiser Proper Cloth is putting together a custom denim shirt run. Ready-to-wear denim shirts are often too casual or don’t fit well, while custom ones look too much like office-wear. In order to get a denim shirt to look right, you have to put it through a special enzyme wash. That helps age the fabric in a way that gives it a more relaxed and casual appearance. 

    Most custom shirtmakers aren’t able to offer special washes because they don’t have the necessary quantities to justify them. Proper Cloth, however, is organizing a large, but limited run, in order to get access to such washing machines. Two hundred spots will be available for sale on May 12th, with early access on May 11th for people who pre-register. 

    The fabric they’ll be using a medium-heavy, two-ply, denim from Albiate (a high-end Italian mill that’s part of the Albini Group). The weight is light enough to be worn under a sport coat, but also heavy enough for casual wear. The denim starts off raw, but will then be put through one of two washes. One results in a darker color; the other lighter. Stylistic details, such as collar and cuff style, are of course fully customizable. 

    At $150 a pop, these aren’t cheap, but if this same fabric was used for a ready-to-wear shirt, the price would be about the same. Online made-to-measure orders sometimes take a few trial runs to hone in on the fit, so if you’re iffy about self-measurements, you can also send them your best fitting shirt to copy. I’ve already ordered my spot for $150 and am planning to do just that.

To help our members master the dress code, we asked three of our stylists what they’d suggest wearing to casual, business-casual, and formal meetings.

    Casual
    “You never want to be the most casually dressed guy in the meeting, even if it has a relaxed dress code,” Robyn, a stylist at our Los Angeles clubhouse, says. “L.A. is notoriously casual, but a lot of my clients out here are starting to up the ante. Rather than wearing jeans and a t-shirt to work functions, they’ve stepped it up and are now wearing five-pocket chinos, oxford shirts, and lightweight jackets.”

    Business-Casual
    Bridging the gap between business and casual isn’t always easy, but Emily, a stylist at our Chicago HQ, has it all figured out. “Versatility is key for business-casual settings, especially when there’s travel involved,” she says. “I always recommend items with rich, heavy textures. Since they look great slightly wrinkled, you can go straight from the plane to the meeting—and even out for drinks—looking sharp every step of the way.”

    Formal
    “At formal meetings, you want to be noticed—but not for what you’re wearing.” That’s according to David, a stylist at our most-recently opened clubhouse in Manhattan. “Your ideas and business acumen should be the highlight, and really, your outfit should just assert your confidence and personality. That’s why, rather than defaulting to a full-color suit, I’m a strong believer in mixing and matching slacks and suit jackets. It makes for a contemporary look that’s memorable, but doesn’t go overboard.”

However, we apparently can’t figure out how to detect funny business within one’s shoes unless they’re removed before going through airport security.

    We always recommend wearing loafers when traveling for business. This may seem like an obvious choice given that loafers are easily slipped off, however, there’s more to travel shoes than ease of removal. By paying close attention to your toes, soles, and heels, you’ll be able to get the most out of your loafers while on the road.

    - A tip on toes:
    Due to their chameleon-like nature, we recommend wearing narrow-toed loafers when traveling for business. When paired with a suit, narrow-toed loafers take on the form of full-on dress shoes, and when paired with jeans, they’ll complement your casual look just as well—making for an easy transition from the boardroom to the barstool.

    Find your sole:
    Generally speaking, leather-soled shoes are dressier and more business appropriate. That said—as you can see in the image above—there are rubber-soled options that stack up just as well against their leather-soled colleagues. Plus, the added traction of rubber soles will serve you well when sprinting to your gate.

    - On the heels:
    If you don’t have a shoehorn handy while traveling—most of us don’t—we have a quick solution: use your belt as a replacement. Using a shoehorn, or a belt in this case, will protect against heel damage and greatly increase the lifespan of your loafers. Like shoes, belts also have to be removed at security check, so you might as well put yours to good use before putting it back on.

     Loafers provide the most style with the least amount of  struggle.

    Saving Face: The Magical World of Facial Wipes

    Maybe it’s because I’m a Canadian living in California, but I absolutely can’t stand being hot. For the brutal, swamp-like conditions we’ve been having lately, keeping a few facial wipes on hand can be a lifesaver. Just a few quick swipes and you’ll instantly feel refreshed and clean – not to mention, look a lot better too. 

    Most facial wipes on the market are aimed at women, although my sneaking suspicion is that they’re actually pretty gender neutral. If you’re looking for something that’s specifically non-gendered, I’ve used Ursa Major. They tout having a special “four-in-one facial tonic formula,” which supposedly lifts oils off your face without throwing your skin’s pH balance. I don’t know about all that. They feel the same as any other facial wipe I’ve used, although they’re lightly scented and come in better looking packages. The downside? They’re kind of expensive. 

    For something cheaper, there’s Total Refresh. They come in both scented- and non-scented options, although I find they all leave a powdery finish (which is not so great). Plus, rather than being individually packaged, they come in big packs. Great if you’re trying to be environmentally conscious, but less so if you want to carry these in your jacket pocket. 

    My favorite so far is Dickinson’s, which is a basic, individually-packaged wipe that mostly relies on a mixture of witch hazel and aloe. They’re non-scented, non-powdery, and they nicely wipe oils away without leaving your skin feeling dry. Best of all, they’re affordable at $7.50 for a pack of twenty. Find them on Amazon or at your local drug store. 

    Bonus: Along with being useful for the summer, these are great on long trips. Bring one along with you on a long flight, so you can freshen-up mid-way through.

    In the battle of the bags, duffels win.

    - The average business trip spans two to three days. For lengthier excursions, it might be tough to argue the convenience of wheeled luggage, but frankly, we don’t see the point in rolling around a suitcase filled with just a few day’s worth of clothing.

    - With a duffel bag, you can move quickly, pack efficiently, and maintain a put-together appearance throughout your travels. We go into detail below.

    - Look Sharp upon Arrival
    We’ve previously said that topcoats are the best way to keep warm while maintaining a professional appearance, and that’s because their design resembles that of a suit jacket. Duffel bags have a similar correlation. Their design resembles that of a briefcase, which makes them the ideal choice to carry while traveling for business. This inherent formality lends itself well to the traveler heading straight from the plane to the meeting.

    Let us set the scene: It’s February, and you’ve just landed in Chicago to meet with some of your biggest clients. You take the train into the city and start walking to their office.

    - With a roller bag: You roll your luggage through the Windy City’s slushy, salty sidewalks. Upon arrival, you stumble through the revolving door and find your way to the conference room. You park your suitcase, apologizing for the trail of liquid left in your path.

    With a duffel bag: You confidently trek from point A to point B, hopping over pools of slush and water along the way. You march into the office, locate the conference room, set down your bag, and begin to present.Enjoy Freedom from Choice
    We don’t believe in overdressing, but overpacking can certainly be an issue. Rather than tossing a handful of “just in case” items in your bag, we recommend paring it down to just the essentials. That way, upon arrival to your destination, you’ll have a clear intent for each item packed—rather than becoming overwhelmed by options.

    - Let us set the scene: You have seven shirts, six pairs of pants, and four pairs of shoes laid out for your upcoming three-day trip.

    - With a roller bag: You toss it all into your suitcase’s seemingly infinite space and don’t look back. Before your meeting, you neglect brushing up on your materials because you’re busy wondering what to wear.

    - With a duffel bag: You keep purpose in mind while carefully packing a selection of clothing. Upon arrival to the hotel, you kick your feet up and prepare for your presentation. You’re calm, cool, and collected.

    - Pro tip: By rolling your clothes, rather than folding them, you’ll reduce wrinkling while maximizing your bag’s storage capacity.Breeze Through the Airport
    In our interview with Grant Martin, the Trunk Club member and 150,000-miles-a-year traveler, he referred to roller bags as “the end of modern civilization.” Grant’s opinion may be a touch dramatic, but he did go on to make an extremely valid point: 

    - Let us set the scene: You de-board your plane for a layover. Your connecting flight is already boarding and you have 15 minutes to get to the gate, which happens to be at the opposite end of the airport. While weaving through crowds at full sprint, you run into stairs.

    - With a roller bag: Your stride screeches to a halt. You collapse the handle, lift the bag, hobble up the stairs, set the bag down, re-extend the handle, and finally continue moving.

    - With a duffel bag: You race up those steps two at a time, moving as efficiently as possible.

First off, we’d like to thank our members—without all of you none of this would be possible. We’d also like to thank the brands we carry for being so supportive, and—what’s that? We didn’t win anything?

    It’s Oscar season. While we’re not huge on awards, we do enjoy good movies and the defined style that often comes with them. To celebrate the upcoming event, we caught up with Michael Barkin, Trunk Club’s VP of Custom Clothing, and looked back at some of the most memorable suits to ever grace the silver screen.

    Below Michael describes how he’d recreate three distinct suits from cinema’s past: Robert Redford’s from The Great Gatsby, Sean Connery’s from Goldfinger, and Steve McQueen’s from The Thomas Crown Affair.

    Robert Redford, The Great Gatsby
    Michael: “Anytime you replicate a suit, the first thing you look at is the fabric. In this case, the fabric is pink. Typically speaking, when a fabric’s color is light, it’s meant to be worn in a warmer climate. I’d guess that this suit is made from doeskin, which is a breathable, even-balanced cloth.

    “The jacket has a super wide lapel, which was a really popular look in the 40s and 50s. Even the waistcoat has a big, sweeping lapel. Bring in the pleated trousers and it makes for a complex, layered look that’s actually really easy to replicate.

    “If we wanted to put a modern twist on this look, we’d start by bringing in the fit and narrowing up the lapels. The gorge line, which is where the collar is attached to the lapel—where the notch is—could also be brought up. The double-breasted waistcoat is emblematic of that era. We could make that, but a more current take would be a single-breasted waistcoat, narrower lapels, flat-front pants, and a higher gorge line.”

    Sean Connery, Goldfinger
    “Often with dinner jackets, like the one Sean Connery is wearing here, people will mistakenly refer to the color as white. It’s actually ivory. If you go for stark white, it will come off looking bright and cheap, and then the shirt never contrasts. If you look closely, you can tell he’s wearing a white shirt and that it’s brighter than the jacket. Also, just like with Robert Redford’s pink suit, you can tell this jacket was made to be worn in warmer weather because of the color. It’s likely made of a lightweight wool.

    “As for design, this is a one-button dinner jacket with peak lapels. (Ed.—Michael previously referred to this style as the most timeless jacket design of all time.) If a guy came into Trunk Club and requested this jacket, it’d be simple to make. We’d just update the fit profile and make sure that he has tuxedo trousers to go along with it.”

    Steve McQueen, The Thomas Crown Affair
    “When you first look at the fabric, you can see that it’s heavily textured. I’d say this cloth is probably an English flannel with a heathered finish, which gives it those small flecks of color.

    “English cloth is known for its sturdy construction. It’s cold in England, and there’s a lot of wind and rain, so English fabric is designed to stand up to that kind of weather. On the contrary, if you look at Italian fabric, it’s created for the Mediterranean climate—so it’s lightweight and built to breathe in the region’s heat and humidity.

    “Design-wise, the thing that stands out most is the fact that it’s a three-piece suit. The vest has a square-bottom finish, which is rare in single-breasted waistcoats. Typically it would be pointed, so it makes for a really defined look. The shoulders are a bit wide, but otherwise, the fit is consistent with what we do today. The gorge line, sleeve width, and pants all look great. You could wear this suit today and look phenomenal.”

    Formalwear, casual clothing, and any possible look you’d like to replicate are all fair game with Trunk Club’s custom-clothing program. If you’d like to connect with a custom specialist, just click here.

Clothing has to do a job, and the function of each of our items is paramount.”—John Prikryl, creative director for Rodd & Gunn

    - We started the “Getting It Right” series to show how some of our favorite brands go the extra mile to create truly exceptional clothing. For our most recent installment, we’re highlighting the New Zealand–based brand, Rodd & Gunn. Mike Beagley, Rodd & Gunn’s owner, recently visited our Chicago HQ along with its creative director, John Prikryl, and North American sales director, Colin Gillooly. 

    - Appropriately, we sat down in our recently made Rodd & Gunn fitting room and talked to the guys about the brand’s heritage.

    -

    - Rodd & Gunn has a huge presence in New Zealand and Australia but just recently arrived in America. Can you tell us more about the brand’s history?

    - Mike: It originally started in 1946 as a fishing and hunting outfitter—Rodd represents a fishing rod, and Gunn represents a hunting rifle. But in its current form, a casual sportswear brand, it started in 1987. I acquired the company in 2000, and we now have about 85 stores throughout New Zealand and Australia. 

    -

    - When did Rodd & Gunn make its way to America?

    - Mike: We went to a trade show about two years ago, and didn’t know anyone or anything. We met Brian [Spaly, Trunk Club’s CEO], and thought the idea of Trunk Club was very interesting. Brian just had a ton of energy.

    - You mentioned that Rodd & Gunn is now a casual sportswear brand. Do the guys who wear your clothes still enjoy that outdoor lifestyle the brand was founded on?

    - Mike: We’re really an escapism lifestyle brand in a way. Guys who wear Rodd & Gunn generally live in the city and are successful in business or government, but certainly aspire to that outdoor lifestyle.

    -

    - Some of the best wool in the world comes from New Zealand and Australia. Why is that?

    - Mike: Climate plays a role, but it’s mostly the breeding. The way sheep have been bred over centuries in our region have developed the finest yarn. Generally we use wool with 16 to 18 microns, whereas a lot of brands are between 20 to 30 microns. (Ed.— - the lower the micron number, the finer the wool.) That’s the raw material that we grow, and it’s then sent to Italy to be spun into beautiful yarns that can be knit.

    - Italy is quite a hike from New Zealand.

    - John: I visit about four times a year to meet directly with the mills. The history of Italian design, craftsmanship, and artisanship is so deep that it actually makes my job really easy. It’s a joy working with these fabrics and they perform really well.

    - So it’s the best of both worlds in a way?

    - Mike: Exactly. It comes off the back of a sheep in New Zealand or Australia, and then goes through all the fantastic processes in Italy before turning into a garment.

    -

    - In retrospect, how would you say your past two years in the States have been?

    - Colin: We started with one sport coat at Trunk Club and now you’ve got a complete collection of Rodd & Gunn product. It’s been an amazing journey so far.

    - It’s much easier to get ahold of Rodd & Gunn clothing now that it’s available in America—and Trunk Club makes it even easier. To try some for yourself, just ask your stylist to include some in your next trunk.

This contradiction leads many people to give their suede shoes a seasonal rest, which, as a whole, is completely unnecessary.

    By using some precautionary measures—and damage-control techniques—you can get the most out of these tougher-than-advertised shoes, and keep them looking fresh year-round.

    Many of suede’s foes can be warded off by using an over-the-counter protective spray. To be more specific, we recommend using a non-silicon spray, since silicon has been known to weaken the protein bonds of leather—leading to non-repairable cracks. All you have to do is give your shoes a quick mist before taking them for a spin. 

    If protective spray doesn’t provide enough armor, here are some remedies for suede’s three most common enemies:

    Water
     However, that’s not always predictable. If your shoes become soaked due to an unexpected storm, stuff them with an ample amount of paper towel and allow them to dry overnight. Paper towel will absorb the water and help to keep the shoes’ shape—similar to shoe trees. Once dry, brush the suede with a soft-bristle brush to revive its texture. Pro tip: always brush with the direction of the grain.

    Salt
    Even when it’s not snowing, the salt on winter sidewalks can be a hazard for suede. To remove salt stains, add one tablespoon of white vinegar to one cup of water. Dip a clean, soft rag into the liquid and wipe away the stain. The salt should disappear once your shoes dry, and a quick brush of the suede will finish the job. 

    Mud
    You’ll typically want to act quickly when trying to remove a stain, but when it comes to mud on suede, the opposite is true. Allow enough time for the mud to fully dry, preferably overnight, before brushing it away. For more stubborn stains, use a suede eraser—found at most convenience stores—to buff out any remaining discoloration. As always, follow it up with a quick brushing.

    We can’t say suede shoes are low-maintenance, no shoes really are. But with a little TLC, you can wear yours year-round without sending them into an early retirement.

    -

    - According to a 2014 study in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, one in four people break their New Year’s resolutions after just one week. To keep our guys from falling into the dreaded 25 percent, we turned to Justin Negrete, a Trunk Club member who’s made a name for himself in the world of competitive bodybuilding. By following his self-regimented routine, he’s taken his once-slender frame to a show-ready level. -

    -

    - Below you’ll find Justin’s top three tips for sticking to your workout resolution. -

    -

    - 1.) Create a Cadence
    -     “Generally speaking, people are too broad with their workout goals. It takes a lot of time to achieve either of those, and it’s always daunting when you start off with a really ambitious goal. -

    -

    - “To make things easier, I encourage people to set one initial goal: Dedicate a few days each week to going to the gym. If your goal is to work out three or four days a week, you’ll naturally get in shape. That big-picture goal of ‘getting in shape’ or ‘losing weight’ then turns into a byproduct of following your routine, rather than being the goal itself.” -

    -

    - 2.) Set Small, Tangible Goals
    -     “Once you’re in the habit of hitting the gym a few days a week, start setting small performance-based goals that fit into your routine. For instance, if you’re working on improving your strength, and you generally lift 30-pound weights during your set, stick to your usual routine for a week and then aim to complete your set with 40-pound weights. -

    -

    - “By hitting those small, tangible goals, you’ll have two big benefits: One, you’ll be able to track your improvement over time, and two, you’ll consistently be motivated to keep on exercising because you’re seeing results.” -

    -

    - 3.) Include Variety
    -     “A few months into their routine, a lot of people hit a plateau and feel like they’ve peaked in their progress. They’ve made all these great improvements and have seen themselves get stronger, and it’s a huge motivator, but you can’t have that kind of progress forever. What I’ve found is that it’s not so much a plateau, it’s just smaller and smaller progress. That’s when you need to bring some variety into the mix. -

    -

    - “Every person has a unique bone and muscle structure. To keep getting better, you just need to change up your routine and see what works best for you. I always work off an 80 / 20 rule: Stick to 80 percent of the routine you’re already doing, but change 20 percent of it, and then reassess after two weeks.  -

    -

    - “Really, it’s like a science experiment. Let’s say your bench press isn’t going up any more. Instead of spending more time doing flat bench presses, try an inclined bench press, and work on that for two weeks. It will activate different muscles than you usually use, and after two weeks, go back to that original bench press and see if it improved.” -
