Aside from the ready-made items, the areas also allow customers to order made-to-measure and made-to-order pieces via touchscreens, physical fabric swatch books and the advice of trained tailors. Combatant Gentleman’s creative director and co-founder Vishaal Melwani says that these special order items will take four to six weeks to produce and that he hopes to bring the brand to additional branches of the famous department store in the near future.

Four-year-old Combatant Gentleman also has its own standalone store in Santa Monica – another option for any Internetphobes who nonetheless want great style at a super affordable price.

For generations, Nike’s Cortez sneaker has been the go-to for a comfortable mix of lifestyle and athleisure look. The Cortez silhouette is instantly recognizable and has always been a staple in the Nike lineup. Despite its generational popularity, the updates on the silhouette have been minimal, unlike other Nike models, which have constantly had new iterations. However, now Nike has added a subtle update to this classic design, and it’s given it a chic upgrade. While the shoe’s silhouette hasn’t been altered, small additions and newer details have given the design a fresher look that appears more modern. Coming in a series of new colorways, this new Cortez release is the perfect way to upgrade this classic sneaker.
