Bluffwork pants will change the way you travel

By

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.

You need this new limited edition Rimowa luggage collection in your closet
The Hammerschlag collection from Rimowa is a throwback nod to a 1966 piece
The Rimowa Hammerschlag collection.

When traveling, you don't want to throw your stuff in a duffel bag and call it a day. You want luggage that will keep your items organized while adding a quiet sophistication to your look. German company Rimowa is the luggage brand to trust your travels to. Rimowa has been in the luxury business for over 100 years, but you won't have to wait that long to check out their new Hammerschlag collection.
Rimowa blends old and new
We love it when a brand takes a vintage piece and modernizes it. The Rimowa Hammerschlag line combines elements old and new without skimping on the craftsmanship the brand is known for.
Behind-the-scenes details

Originally called Gortz & Morszeck, after the two men who started things in 1898, Rimowa was forced to switch production to aluminum-only luggage when the factory burned down in the 1930s, wiping out the other materials. Now, the signature aluminum grooves are a sleek companion for your trip.
The vintage features
What makes the Hammerschlag collection unique is its homage to the 1966 archival piece. It starts with the handle, which might be leather, but the look and design are based on the classic metal version. Rimowa takes things back even further, with each of the limited cases given a Cognac leather tag with an 1898 stamp as a nod to the origins of the company and the city of Cologne, Germany, where Rimowa still keeps headquarters.
The Rimowa Hammerschlag collection
The Hammerschlag collection consists of the Hand-Carry Case, a standard-size suitcase, and the Cabin, your rolling luggage piece.

The bills itself as a "complete ecosystem" for mountain sports. The modular backpack, which fits in three pieces, is part of a more significant trend stirring up the outdoors, sports, and travel realms. But do you need one?

The gear system has many options, from a single bundle (single backpack) to a complete bundle (four sacks). You have a base unit that can be customized depending on what you're up to. It's all about adaptability and limiting materials, pros for the multi-sport enthusiast and environmentalist alike.

Travel is easier with this Longines watch
Longines Zulu Limited Edition Watch

Are you ready to embark on a journey where time meets artistry? Longines watches, in an exclusive collaboration with Hodinkee, introduces the mesmerizing Longines Spirit Zulu Time Limited Edition. This timepiece is not merely a watch; it's a harmonious blend of innovation, history, and unmatched craftsmanship that sets it apart in the world of horology.
A journey through time
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time pays homage to the brand's rich heritage, drawing inspiration from the first Longines wristwatch with dual time zones produced in 1925. The Zulu flag on its dial symbolizes the universal time used by aviators and armed forces, infusing the watch with a touch of history and adventure. Limited to 500 numbered pieces, this GMT model was introduced in the Longines Spirit collection in 2022, making it a sought-after collector's item.

What sets this watch apart is its 39mm case, meticulously crafted from Grade 5 titanium. Lighter and tougher than steel, this alloy provides the watch with understated elegance and exceptional wearer comfort. The bi-directional, circular-brushed titanium bezel, engraved with a 24-hour scale, adds a distinctive touch. The screw-down crown, also made of titanium, allows independent setting of the time zone and time, catering to the needs of the modern traveler.
