Board dorks make ninja suits for other board dorks

Snowboarders from Portland, OR make the best base layers for snowboarders

Twenty-one years ago, there was a basement in Portland, Oregon, where the love of a few snowboarders was enough to inspire them to launch a business. Of course, with no prior experience in the tech or the clothing business, it was a tall order. But with only the love of flying down a mountain with a board strapped to his feet and the knowledge of what it takes to give your trip down the mountain the comfort it needs, they launched one of the raddest snowboarding brands on the market. The Airblaster Ninja Suit is the way to keep your personality and your comfort as you enjoy the greatest ride the mountain offers.

Focus on the trip down the mountain

The original Ninja Suit is the one-piece hooded base layer that put Airblaster on the map over two decades ago. It was developed to virtual perfection over the course of nearly 20 years of testing and abuse by our Ninja Ambassadors and Professional Team, which included Leanne Pelosi, Temple Cummins, and Taylor Carlton. If you need a base layer, this is simply the best. Experience the action and fringe benefits of being a Ninja while enjoying the undeniable function (and fashion) of the original Ninja Suit.

Airblaster also created the next generation with the Ninja Suit Pro and the pinnacle of ninja suits with the Merino Ninja Suit, which is forty-five percent stronger and dries twice as fast as regular Merino. With a bunch of board dorks making products for other board dorks, there are very few brands that are as fitted to your snowboarding trip.

When you start a suit collection, there are different colors, patterns, and styles to keep in mind. However, if you have to wear a suit every day, you will want to consider the fabrics as well. Wool is a great fabric and can look fantastic all year round, but there are some basics to add to your collection for both cold weather (like flannel, tweed, and cashmere) and warm weather (like linen and cotton). One of the classics to add to your summer wardrobe is a good seersucker suit. It is perfect for Memorial Day to Labor Day and is great for any occasion. But you know me, I won't just tell you to go shopping without doing the research for you and getting some information for you to look great after picking it up. I reached out to Michelle Kohanzo, President of The Tie Bar (who helped us put together a look for the Kentucky Derby), to get a little guidance on how to wear a seersucker suit, and she never disappoints.

How men are reclaiming their wedding day style
Rothman's NYC is seeing a trend in Men's Wedding Wear in 2025
Rothman's Wedding Season suit shopping

When I sold suits to men, I trained my staff to sell to a particular person involved in the transaction. When you are selling anything to a group of people, one person typically calls the shots. When I sold a wedding suit, no matter how often I asked the man what they were looking for, they always directed the question to the bride. Sometimes, to the bride's mother. For years, a wedding was the bride's day. The man had to do nothing but grunt or nod in agreement and show up on the day, doing what he was told. But the tide is shifting as men take more ownership over their appearance. A man's style is a personal expression of who they are, and they want to be remembered on the day for how they look as well.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Ken and Will Giddon, owners and operators of New York men's style staple Rothman's NY, to get insight into this new trend. The man used to think that he would never be wearing a suit or tuxedo again, that it was only to make the bride happy. Will Giddon sees a shift in that dynamic.

Sometimes men's clothes can get boring. They can get stale. Walk into any men's clothing store and you could drown in a sea of blue. We sometimes settle into our blues and grays and have difficulty expressing ourselves through our appearance. Maybe it is complacency. Perhaps we lose our confidence. Whatever it is, finding a way to stand out from the men who tend to fade into the background is a skill every guy needs to learn by the time they are in their mid-30s. This is when we are told to sit down and be quiet. But, there are ways to stand up and be seen, speak up and be heard, without any movement or any words. TAFT is a company that specializes in men's shoes and how to make them your statement piece. They can send a message before you even introduce yourself to someone new. I was able to sit down with TAFT Brand President, Mike Kelly, to get an idea of how to wear shoes as a statement instead of a function.

"Let’s be real—guys like getting compliments just as much as anyone else," Kelly says. "TAFT designs shoes that get noticed, not because they’re loud for the sake of it, but because they’re different in all the right ways. It’s about helping men feel confident, express themselves, and bring a little personality to the everyday."
