Naadan Essential Cashmere Sweater

Matthew Scanlan and Diederik Rijsemus are two college friends who traveled to the Mongolian Gobi Desert and made friends with local sheep herders. They discovered that most clothing companies cut out those middlemen, killing their livelihood. Working directly with them, the two created Naadam to bring you high-quality and sustainable cashmere like this gorgeous basic.

Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Cashmere

The cable-knit sweater is inspired by fisherman’s ropes and has been a mainstay in sweater style for as long as sweaters have been a thing. As a matter of fact, legend has it that the term sweater was first coined in the 1890s when athletes borrowed the cable-knits from fishermen and began wearing them as fashion instead of functional garments. Ralph Lauren took the timeless classic and gave it the soft and luxurious feel to complete its transformation nearly a century later, and its been thriving ever since.

Todd Snyder Cashmere Hoodie

Todd Snyder loves New York. And New York loves fashion. Therefore, the last decade has seen the fashion mogul weave Big Apple streetwear into his lines. In this case, he takes the basic cashmere sweater and infuses streetwear by creating the cashmere hoodie. Of course, just because you are dressed down doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the luxury of being dressed up.

Brunello Cucinelli Cashmere Sweater

Italian creative Brunello Cucinelli came into the fashion industry by falling in love. First with his wife, then with her tiny little hamlet in Central Italy, and finally with creating menswear. Nothing is better than throwing a quarter-zip sweater over a collared shirt—the lap of luxury on a day-to-day basis.

While you build a wardrobe, you can’t go wrong with cashmere. There is no better way to elevate your sweater wardrobe than with this luxurious fabric. Experiment with your styles and colors, and find the best fit for yourself.

Mark cut his teeth in the men’s style world when he sold suits first at box stores such as Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank. He then spent time as a style consultant, where he helped men find the image they were looking for through tailoring and confidence-building. He thrived when he began diving into the psychology of men’s style, developing the mindset that fashion is what you wear and style is how you wear it. He transitioned into style journalism writing for Real Men, Real Style before finding a home with The Manual, where he broadened his scope to travel, grooming, and mindset (where you can find his work on Gent’s Cafe). He is also working on novels in the thriller genre (bang, bang shoot ’em ups inspired by Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills, Brad Thor, and Jack Carr). He is a huge movie buff, and you can find his work in that space on Looper. And if you ever run into him on the street, you’re likely going to get pulled into conversations about style, movies, or his fanatic romanticism of the game of baseball.   Read Full Bio

Gearheads and luxury car enthusiasts will be descending on Florida on February 19th through the 21st as the Cavallino Classic looks to return to Southern Florida for another edition. A collection of some of the most iconic Ferraris from every era is expected to be on display for the three-day event meant to showcase a century of craftsmanship and artistry. Even better, the event has a little extra throttle this year as it celebrates the brand’s 80th anniversary.

We measure our programming by whether it gives Club members and resort guests something they cannot find anywhere else. Cavallino Classic does that. It is not only for collectors and enthusiasts. It is for anyone who appreciates rare craftsmanship and a weekend built around it – Daniel Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton

Suede, Boots, Footwear

Watch, Hand, Shaker

Timex and Todd Snyder just released the Marlin Mesh, the latest entry in one of menswear’s longest-running watch collaborations.

The Marlin itself is a genuine vintage design, pulled from Timex’s 1960s archive. Snyder and Timex first revived it back in 2016 as a Todd Snyder exclusive, and it was something bigger than just a new watch — it was Timex’s first step back into mechanical movements after years of quartz-only releases.
