Threadmason lets you find the right fit with a simple click

Let’s face it, no size fits all — especially when it comes to t-shirts. Each man is built different, whether talking those tall and slender or those short and stout, and it’s remarkably difficult to find a brand that truly caters to individual dimensions and specifications. Meet the New York-based Threadmason, a growing apparel operation looking to move beyond your standard small, medium, and large sizing while completely rethinking the way you shop for a classic shirt.

Threadmason Header Image copyLike many ideas out there, Threadmason began with dissatisfaction. Georgetown alumni Vincent Ko received a t-shirt from his girlfriend several years ago, and though it didn’t immediately fit the way he wanted it to, a little needle and thread rendered it the perfect fit in no time. Ko, together with his college friend Jake Huston, later decided it was time to create a better method for curbing the generic sizing that perforates the fashion industry. They assembled an outfit of seasoned menswear designers and pattern makers, quickly building a sizing system that utilizes real guys’ body types — and a bit of 3D-modeling technology — to bring a tailored fit to one of the most basic elements of any wardrobe. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign and prototype stage, 24 unique sizes were born.

Spanning a range of crew and v-necks available in three colors (navy, black, and white), Threadmason offers an unparalleled level of fit at a premium price ($34). Each customer provides a slew of basic data, such as their weight and height, along with their body type, pant waist size, and an indication of how they like their shirts to fit. Body types range from slim and average to athletic and well-fed, with options for form-fitting and relaxed fits at the ready. The company’s website will then suggest a size, which you can then order in your desired style. Moreover, each pre-shrunk shirt is made of 100-percent organic cotton, cut in California and sewn in New York for an American-made experience across the board. Now, if only shopping online with other retailers was as easy.

Check out the main Threadmason website to peruse the company’s selection of crew and v-necks, or to make a purchase using the website’s simple sizing tool.

Throughout its history, the athletic company Nike has become renowned for its iconic and classic collections, including Jordans, Air Max, Dunk Low, and more. Among these well-known silhouettes is the traditional Nike Cortez.

In recent seasons, Nike has given the Cortez a stylish revamp, catapulting it into a new generation. In another relaunch, Nike is giving its Cortez sneaker a new look with a colorway that’s equally as timeless and recognizable as the shoe itself.

Why the Parmigiani Fleurier PF070 deserves every watch lover’s attention
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronograph 40mm

In the watch business, where larger players like Rolex and Omega control attention, independent Swiss makers find it hard to get noticed. But often, smaller companies build movements that exceed their well-known rivals in technical quality. For example, Parmigiani Fleurier's new PF070 chronograph caliber is a 5Hz movement that stands out, and watch experts should be watching.
Many watch fans can list Rolex's newest items, but fewer know about the technical work operating in Parmigiani Fleurier's Tonda PF Chronograph. The PF070 shows what makes independent watchmaking different: its careful engineering, new answers, and specifications that could cause other makers to envy it.

The integrated movement advantage: Why PF070 stands apart

Timex gives heritage chronograph a sporty summer makeover with fabric straps
Timex makes Daytona-inspired Waterbury even more affordable with fabric strap option
Timex Waterbury Heritage against white babckground

Timex has launched a sportier version of its popular Waterbury Heritage Chronograph, just months after the Daytona-inspired timepiece became a hit with budget-conscious collectors. The new Waterbury Heritage Chronograph 39mm Fabric Strap edition offers the same racing-inspired design at a more accessible $299 price point.
The updated chronograph maintains all the functional elements that made the original successful, including its rotating tachymeter bezel, sub-dials, and Daytona-inspired pushers. The 39mm stainless steel case houses a reliable Quartz Analog movement with 50-meter water resistance and mineral glass crystal protection.
Three colorway options are available: the original black and silver, black and gold, and a new racing green edition featuring black, silver, racing green, and yellow accents that nod to classic motorsport colors. The styling remains relatively minimalistic and clean for a racing chronograph, contributing to its overall appeal.
The primary difference lies in the strap configuration. Instead of the original link bracelet or leather options, all three versions now feature matching fabric straps styled to complement each colorway. These woven bands provide a more summer-ready, casual wearing experience compared to the metal bracelet.
The fabric straps offer practical advantages beyond aesthetics. They're lighter and more breathable than traditional options while maintaining security through Timex-branded buckles. As slip-through straps, the fabric covers the case back, eliminating direct metal contact with skin during hot weather conditions.
The strap change significantly alters the watch's presentation, making it considerably more casual while maintaining the chronograph's racing heritage. The 13.5mm case thickness remains unchanged, preserving the watch's proportional balance.
This fabric strap edition represents Timex's strategy of making popular designs even more accessible. While the leather strap option maintains the $299 price point, it lacks the breathability and casual appeal of the fabric alternative.
The updated chronograph continues Timex's tradition of offering Swiss-inspired designs at American prices. The Daytona-like aesthetic combined with reliable quartz movement provides an entry point into racing chronographs without the premium price tag.
All three versions are available immediately through the brand's website. The $50 price reduction from the bracelet version makes this already affordable timepiece even more attractive to budget-conscious enthusiasts.
