These Black Friday New Balances are literally built like tanks

New Balance limited edition US made

Here at The Manual, we love to hear the words “limited edition” because it almost always implies premium materials and construction, and when it comes to sneakers, it usually means a special design you won’t find on a normal pair of shoes. These New Balance US574s are handmade right here in America, and you’ll only find them for sale in shops in Boston and New York. If you’re in one of those two cities and like a fresh pair of sneakers, you should make it a point to grab a pair.

It gets rainy and snowy in the Northeast this time of year, so New Balance made sure you would be ready to hit the streets no matter the weather. Military green suede with weatherproofing is a nod to the durable vehicles the military uses, with a white reflective ‘N’ logo gracing the sides for an added pop.

The shoes are only available in limited quantity from New Balance Boston and New Balance New York, and only as part of the Mobilize Your Winter package. This special bundle includes an awesome Titan water bottle, a special pair of Varsity socks, and a custom messenger bag, and of course the sneakers.

There aren’t many pairs to go around, but if you’re in New York or Boston you should hike over to your local New Balance shop to grab one. If you get it, post a picture to Instagram with #MobilizeYourWinter and tag us @TheManual so we can see them on foot.

Taylor Stitch channels their Yellowstone aura with this year’s western shirt
Emulate your favorite Dutton in a fan favorite
Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket

We don't know why, but we assume it is because we have been watching the new season of Yellowstone. Whatever the reason, we are seeing Western-style infiltrate every corner of men's style, and Taylor Stitch is doing its part. Whether you go for workwear or outerwear, there is always something for you to use functionally, along with the fashion. One of our favorite shirts is the western shirt, and there is a new one landing this season that will make Rip Wheeler envious while driving cattle. The Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket is the perfect mix between function and fashion and makes you feel right at home in the bunkhouse or on the trail.
Fan favorite takes you to the Dutton Ranch

The western shirt is a fan favorite look that seems to pop up every year. But this year's iteration just seems to have a bit more of a punch to it. Maybe it is because of the Duttons, maybe not. But this year, Taylor Stitch brings out a version that looks perfect for the ranch, and is equally stylish enough for the bar and tough enough for the ropin pen. Let's just hope it never has to visit the train station.
