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.

The people behind Amberjack spent years working with some of the biggest shoe brands on the market, like Cole Haan, Allen Edmonds, and Adidas, before becoming disenchanted with the industry. While suits have moved forward seemingly in leaps and bounds for decades, you can see the exact dress shoe styles and materials today that were used back when your great-grandfather stood next to the Don Drapers of the day. So they set off to create something different, and a new dress shoe revolution began, with the help of ambassador NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Now that they have recruited hundreds of thousands of men to their revolution, they have created the perfect partner with the Amberjack dress socks.
Keeping your feet cool, dry, and comfortable

There are thousands of dress sock options, so it can begin to feel overwhelming. The question is whether or not to wear solids or patterns. If you decide you want to wear solids, there are even MORE possibilities. That is why buying socks explicitly made to go with your dress shoes simplifies the process entirely. Amberjack has started the collection with five colors: Obsidian (perfect for your darker outfits and more formal moments), Cobalt (the upgrade your office looks need), Ocean (the light gray color your smart-casual looks desire), Olive (the kind of statement you should be making as often as possible), and Ivory (the intriguing rule breaker for a dress outfit). On top of attractive colors, it has a host of features that make it an attractive partner to the Amberjack shoes.

Third Way navigates the changing menswear landscape with LA inspiration
Third Way AW2024 all white outfit

Los Angeles is the perfect place for inspiration. It is the place where dreams come true. There are hundreds of people who have stepped off the bus every day for a century in search of the bright lights of stardom and many more who entrench themselves in the beach vibes surrounding them. From that comes a brand looking to honor the smaller corners of the city, and Third Way has a different view of the City of Angels than those people looking for stardom. They look to change the focus on the important aspects of garments and what makes them unique instead of the name on the tag.

"I think what we are witnessing in menswear is less influence from the top (luxury) and more interest in smaller independent names making well-made pieces with a story or function," says founder Tony Lee. "It’s less about the brand and more about the fabric or how the piece is constructed. It’s really the ideal environment for us."
LA is more than beach vibes and Hollywood

When it comes to iconic men's wardrobe staples, there are a few that swing in and out of style. While most of us think of staples as timeless garments that never sway, from the khaki chinos to the classic Chelsea boot, there are some that may drop out of trendy vogue only to swing back with a vengeance. Now, we are primed for the return of one of men's most timeless staples to barrel back into the marketing campaigns of our favorite brands: get ready for the sweater vest. Now, you may be thinking back to the last time you saw a sweater vest in the wild, and it has likely been a bit. But, just like Michael Myers, it won't stay dead, it can't die, just when you think it is gone, it comes careening back into stylish vogue. But that doesn't mean you should toss one on all willy-nilly. No, sir, learning how to wear a sweater vest in today's world is different. But that doesn't mean we won't take inspiration from our favorite sweater vests from the past.
