TGIF Shopping: Son Of A Tailor Introduces Made-To-Measure T-Shirting

By

Danish brand Son of a Tailor wants in on the coveted made-to-measure spike, but unlike their contemporaries, they’ve got t-shirts on the mind, not suits.

“We are big believers in doing one thing, and doing it really well. The clothing business is a large ecosystem with a lot of steps in the supply chain. We don’t want to compromise on quality and we want full traceability and accountability of the places in which our t-shirts are made, says SOAT co-founder Andreas Langhorn. In order to keep these standards we focus on one thing, making the best T-Shirt possible. We love T-Shirts, and if we can make the best T-Shirt in the world, that’s good enough for now.”

Similar to snack brand NatureBox, Son of a Tailor integrates technology as a means to custom serve its products to consumers. Using an extensive algorithm developed by the company, they are able to figure out how to make their shirts fit great no matter the body type – no easy feat.

Another way in which SOAT incorporates its love for tech is in fabric by working with an Austrian knitting company that produces fabric so dense, you can see the knitting loops when held up before your eyes. They’ve proudly nicknamed the fabric “Retina” with inspiration from Apple’s retina screens, which also have twice the pixel density of normal computer screens.

“We believe that there is a place where technology stops and human ability and intuition takes over,” says Langhorn. “We get excited by technology and the quantization and control it can give you, but in the end if a fabric or design doesn’t feel right, no amount of statistics or technology can trump that.”

So how does it work? Simply enter your measurements and after 2-3 weeks a customized t-shirt lands in your mailbox. Customers are able to choose, color, necklines and sleeves, providing a surplus of design options. Prices start at $59.

What is old money style? (Plus, how you can achieve the look)
Adopt Grandpa Core with Old Money Style
Man in newsboy cap and pleated trousers

There is a new trend hitting the style industry that a surprising amount of young people are driving. While the war between Gen Z and Baby Boomers rages on in social issue and economic discussions, a bridge is being built with their clothing. Grandpa core is beginning to land with the youngest group entering the work world as they adopt pleated pants, suspenders, double-breasted jackets, and loafers. While they may rage against the elites online, Gen Z is adopting the old money aesthetic in an attempt to take it for themselves and change the narrative.

Old money style screams class, sophistication, and luxury. While trends may be full of pieces that adhere to the newest looks that go in and out of style, the old-money look sticks to classic pieces that never age out. It invests in basic pieces that may seem boring and plain but combine together to elevate every ensemble to the likes of JFK, Jay Gatsby, and countless others who defined our style in the 20th Century.

These silver rings for men should be added to your accessories arsenal
Our top picks for silver rings for men

Silver rings for men have always felt like some kind of relic from rebellious '90s rock icons like Steven Tyler, or even early-aughts singers like Chad Kroeger (regardless of where you fall on the "Is Nickelback a good band?" question.) Either that or they usually appear as simple engagement rings under a quick Google search. But, silver rings for men have made a comeback, and they're now seen as the ultimate mark of "fashun." From simple, minimalist designs to intricately carved pieces, there is a silver ring to suit every man's taste these days, whether you just want to add a high-end vibe to your outfit or actually draw attention with an eyebrow-raising accessory.

In terms of affordability, silver rings for men perfectly bridge the gap between stainless steel and gold, meaning you can still look stylish without the ensuing buyer's remorse that usually comes with a hefty price tag. So, what if you don't want to be able to knock someone out with all the accessories that the frontman of Aerosmith sports, yet need something a little more noticeable than a simple silver ring with nothing on it? We've got you covered.

This Tag Heuer F1 watch collab might be our favorite nostalgic throwback yet
TAG Heuer partners with Kith for Formula 1 watch
TAG Heuer x Kith Formula 1 watches

In its heyday, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 collection was a sensation, with the '80s and '90s seeing commercial success with over 20 vibrant colors. Ronnie Fieg, founder of Kith, a streetwear brand known for items that take us back to the days when life just seemed simpler, is resurrecting these TAG Heuer watches, though they will cost more than the previous timepieces, with the originals selling for between $130 and $390.

With over 3 million sold, these colorful watches carry a deep sense of nostalgia for millennials, who to this day are a generation seemingly obsessed with the past, and that is why these new TAG Heuer watches will probably sell well once again. Plus, Max Verstappen recently wore one at the Miami Grand Prix, and with the 2-time World Champion's face on something, it always sells big.
