Bluffwork pants will change the way you travel

Jogging pants on a plane anyone? We don’t condone it. The reason(s)?

  1. We are a menswear style website
  2. We like looking good and not like a cheese bag
  3. We discovered Bluff Works

Founded by a gentleman named Stefan who worked at a software company but dreamed of the Life of Riley, he came up with a travel pant that would work hiking in the desert of Egypt to dinner at the hotel that evening. We tried out a pair on a recent trip from Charleston to Rome to Sicily to Jersey (the one in the English Channel!) to London to Charleston. Let us tell you we will never travel without our Bluffworks.
Why?

  • You can wad them up and they roll out handsomely.
  • They look great but feel like wearing pajamas on those eight hour overnight flights.
  • There is a hidden pocket for your phone and a zip pocket for your passport.
  • Awesome fit. We thought The Originals were a little grandpa but The Chinos offer a more tailored fit, which we dig.
  • They are quick drying, breathable and moisture wicking.
  • They are made in New York City. Woot!

The pants come in a variety of colors so stock up for your various travels. They are also amazing for bike commuters (like us!) and lightweight enough to wear all summer.

Suede, Boots, Footwear

Denim and boots have been part of the working-man’s closet for a century — but sometimes, even the most rough-and-tumble outdoorsman wants a flex piece. Enter: the new drop from Red Wing, in a phenomenal shade of blue.

The Minnesota brand released the 8809 Classic Moc this week in a new Tidal Blue Muleskinner leather, a deep indigo developed exclusively at Red Wing’s own S.B. Foot Tanning Company. It’s a limited-edition run on one of the most recognizable silhouettes in American footwear.

Todd Snyder and Timex just gave the Marlin a mesh bracelet
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.

MING’s newest watch has a dial made of pewter
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Get ready for something interesting with the newest release from MING — a limited edition built around a material almost nobody uses in watchmaking.

The big selling point for the new drop from the Swiss-Malaysian independent watchmaker is a dial made with hand-hammered pewter. In case you didn’t know (and I certainly didn’t), pewter is a tin-based alloy strengthened with small amounts of copper and antimony.
