5 Stylish Backpacks for All Your Carrying Needs

By

Hey guys, backpacks aren’t just for school anymore. They are the new accessory to have. No more slumping to the side like you would with a shoulder bag. Plus, you’ll have your hands free and you can use them for a weekend away, a day at the ballpark, for your everyday workbag — or like NBA players Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant — at a post-game press conference. Below (Pictured above, clockwise, L-R) are The Manual’s backpack picks.

Remedy one of the biggest struggles with suits with this one hack
Man in Men's Wearhouse Blue Suit

When I first started selling suits, it was mostly to men who were leaving the military and starting as aides to politicians, or men working as doctors, lawyers, or accountants. Then, of course, you had the lucrative wedding business. But one thing was common among every man I sold suits to: They were hardworking and spent their days getting things done.

Now, while this sounds honorable and a fantastic way for a man to live life, working hard and providing for his family, there are some setbacks or some side effects to this lifestyle. One of them is the impact it has on your best suits. Suit pants for men are typically lighter, with an elevated fabric that doesn't always stand up to the more rigorous work of the hardest-working men. Therefore, there's a hack that you should start implementing in your suit shopping every chance you get. Every suit you own should come with a second pair of pants.
