For those of you who have ever dreamed of dressing like James Bond, these butterfly knife cufflinks might just do the trick. Constructed of stainless steel and measuring in at 1 inch when closed and 1.5 inches open, these cufflinks merge function with style — if you’re in search for the type of function that a member of the fictional British Secret Service that writer Ian Fleming conceived of when writing the iconic James Bond novels.

When the butterfly knife cufflinks are closed, they look like a standard pair of cool cufflinks. If danger approaches you — or if you need a tiny tool to unscrew something, cut up a miniature steak or poke someone’s eye out — simply flip open the cufflinks and out pops a mini blade. They even come with a sharpener so your cufflinks will never get dull. They’re just the kind of men’s accessory you need to show off to a date or to impress your friends. Unfortunately, unlike their larger counterparts, you can’t do any crazy knife tricks with these butterfly knives. But hey, it’s not like you can wear a real butterfly knife either.

Now all your secret agent fantasies can come true. Let your inner James Bond come out with a pair of butterfly knife cufflinks, they will certainly kick ass over your grandfather’s staid cufflinks any day. Plus, they look really hot with that tuxedo that’s been hanging in your closet.

The latest adidas collaboration is nothing short of a retro classic
adidas announces new collaboration shoe
black adidas bowling shoe

While adidas is home to many classic and iconic designs, the brand doesn’t shy from bringing the same energy to their collaborations. In previous adidas collaborations, the brand has been known to bring in archival or staple designs and give them a modern upgrade. However, this time around, the brand is joining forces with Dover Street Market and Brain Dead for a new design that’s much more retro than modern. While the new shoe is far from the casual everyday sneaker you’re used to with adidas, it’s the perfect addition to your formal footwear rotation for a pop of uniqueness and sophistication.  Although fans will have to wait a few more weeks for the release, it’s a must-have worthy of scoping out.

Taking on the classic “Bowling” silhouette, the three brands have added plenty of modern features and touches to help bridge a retro style with a contemporary feel. Crafted in a “Core Black” colorway, the new shoe comes with premium leather uppers in black and soft white contrasting stitching. Co-branded details on the shoe can be found on the golden ankle stamp, insoles, and monochromatic embossed heel emblems. Complete with a wooden slide sole and rubber stop heel, the dressy bowling shoe is ready for any formal event. Classic black laces finish the exterior design for a more modern style. Set to be released in Spring 2025, the new shoe will be available via Dover Street Market. Fresh off of adidas’ numerous dress shoe remixes, this new bowling silhouette offers loyal fans another opportunity to showcase their favorite brand on almost any occasion.

Limited-edition Hamilton Chrono-Matic 50 features bold blue and orange design
A new Hamilton watch with a retro design and contemporary features
Hamilton American Classic Chrono-Matic 50

Hamilton's Chrono-Matic 50 has been getting better with time. While the previous model was rolled out in 2019, it leaned more toward the retro style. The 2025 edition, however, is the contemporary version of the models that came before. It comes with new features that elevate the design to a whole new level. But, it’s worthwhile to note that a few features were still preserved, so the watch has a retro-like theme that smoothly blends with contemporary features.

Think of the new Hamilton watch as a bridge between retro and contemporary styles. Unlike the previous model from 2019, the 2025 watch has new striking, stylish colors. It comes with a blue dial, accentuated with white subdials strategically positioned at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock for enhanced precision. As a throwback to the original design, the new watch was rolled out with a large casing, similar to the one on the first watch.

KESTIN goes with the flow with SS25 collection
Disappear to the blanket bog of Northern Scotland
KESTIN SS25 colorful jacket

There are some things about Scotland that everyone can say they love with a passion. There is the kilt; c'mon, those things are the definition of manliness. Who doesn't love watching Mel Gibson and his friends best the English? Golf. We love golf, and we can't for the life of us figure out how they invented this game with all that Scottish whiskey around. That's another one, Scottish whiskey. But one of the things that is more divisive about Scottland is the weather. There are a lot of gray days with a ton of rainfall, creating bog lands all over the country. One of those boglands is called Flow Country and is the inspiration for the KESTIN Spring and Summer 2025 collection. Whether you are looking for suiting or light outerwear, these are the perfect garments for Northern Scotland's dreary and somehow romantic weather.
Perfect for the cool and rainy atmosphere of Northern Scotland

If you are braving the wet weather, the high winds, or any other of the less than ideal conditions, the suiting in this collection is the perfect friend you need for the day. The Stac Blazer combines a heritage chore coat with the more traditional suit coat, making it the combination of style and function you need this spring. The collection also uses Japanese seersucker fabric with custom floral prints that give you the spring feel every spring and summer collection should have. And no KESTIN SS collection would be complete without the annual ORMISTON jacket; this year sports a Japanese jacquard.
