Suitsupply is a brand that ties quality and affordability together with suits made from Italian fabrics. Baldwin Denim is a Kansas City-based lifestyle brand that makes high quality, tailored denim – so what happens when the two merge? Something fantastic.

Suitsupply x Baldwin Denim is a collaboration that celebrates the importance of casual sophistication. The collection was designed specifically to be worn with a tailored look.

So what makes this denim so special? It’s a 13oz redline selvage fabric from Cone Mills’ White Oak factory in North Carolina. Also, this denim is also raw. We’ve discussed raw denim before – raw denim is an individual experience. Each pair develops a unique wash depending how the person wears them.

What about the fit you may ask? Well, Suitsupply and Baldwin created a “new” fit – a mid-rise (10″) slim cut for a dressed up look – this means you can tuck in your dress shirt. The leg is slim with a 14″ opening – which means you can wear a dress shoe.

Perfect for wearing with a blazer, or dare we say it – a suit.

The Future of Jeans is Here with these Alternative Fabrics to Cotton Denim

As many times as I’ve changed my personal style over the years, the one thing that’s never changed is my insistence on jeans made from 100% cotton. Anything woven with spandex, polyester, or other synthetic fibers did not, in my view, qualify as real denim. If the prospectors of Levi Strauss’ era wouldn’t have been able to wear it, then it didn’t count as real jeans.

These days, though, my views have changed. In a world where cotton agriculture and manufacture consumes more resources than any other fiber, insisting on 100% cotton seems positively un-American.

What exactly are limited edition watches?

Know the buzz word before you buy

Citizen watch in ground beans

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered why the rare piece of art could ever be worth the obscene amount of money the debonair art thief claims it's worth? It is simple, really. It comes down to the fact that it is rare. A truly original piece of art masterfully created by the very hand who conjured it up in their mind is something that cannot be recreated. The same kind of rare value exists in the watch world, too. There is an entire industry of limited edition watches that claim rarity rivaled only by the masterful artwork of Renaissance artists who can no longer create original pieces.

But what does it really mean to say that a watch is a limited edition? Does it truly mean that there is little chance of you walking into a party or a bar and running into the ever-embarrassing moment when your "rare" watch sits on the wrist of another...in the same room? Or does it mean they just want you to buy it quickly because they have numbers to make before the shareholders' meeting? Both are possible. As usual here at The Manual, we did the legwork to make sure are armed with the information you need before you click the BUY button and invest in a limited edition watch.

A day at the races: How to dress for the Kentucky Derby

Let your colors and patterns fly at the Kentucky Derby

Men's Derby Fashion with Bowties

Thanks in no small part to social media, The Kentucky Derby has become more than a horse race, becoming a major annual fashion event. Horse races have historically been social events that encouraged spectators to dawn their most spectacular finery going back to Victorian England. That tradition carried over to the States, and three races of the Triple Crown have been fashion events for America's upper class for well over a century. As a social engagement, the greatest of the three big races is The Kentucky Derby, and the greatest part of the race is the Kentucky Derby outfits. Churchill Downs Racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky, becomes the fashion capital of the South for one weekend every May.

The rise of social media and "fit" culture have led to a boom in Kentucky Derby parties across the country over the past ten years. An event that used to be a niche interest to horse racing and gambling enthusiasts, along with the few people wealthy enough to attend the event, has become a national fashion event. People who have no interest in horse racing and will probably not even watch the race (there are a number of races happening all day, culminating in the actual headline race) gather together over their shared love of dressing up and partying. It has become an occasion to be seen, both #IRL and on every social media platform.
