Comstock and Co. for the urban explorer

Dressing well is not always about wearing a suit and tie. Here at the Manual, we believe in letting your passions inspire your style. Robert Comstock, a 30-year veteran of adventure-inspired clothing did exactly this with his new fall line Comstock and Co. As an avid traveler and lover of the outdoors he was naturally inspired to create outerwear that could be worn in the elements and be acceptable to urbanites.

The line that launched at select Bloomingdales this October is a versatile collection of outerwear and woven pieces for the man who lives a life somewhere between the city and the outdoors. We loved these pieces because they sport a masculine look that’s slightly polished for everyday wear. From the self lined, cast blue spongy lamb nubuck to the the drum-dyed water buffalo leather jacket, there’s a wide range for any taste. Each piece adds a rugged twist to your look. What’s unique are the materials and fine leathers used to in each piece. They add little more craftsmanship than your average jacket or woven shirt. Check out the slideshow to see more of this line you will be wearing very soon.

Prada reintroduces the Toblach, a minimalist icon reborn
Prada brings back the Toblach, an archival favorite

Just as with many luxury designers and houses, Prada’s history is full of archival designs that are ready to be reimagined. Focusing on Prada’s footwear for men, the fashion house has plenty of silhouettes to pick from that could easily become modern favorites. Now, Prada is taking from those archives and delivering to users fan-favorites that have been redone to meet contemporary needs and trends. The first of these archival revivals comes in the form of the Toblach. The Toblach was first introduced during the 1998 fall/winter collection and became one of the first formal sneakers to hit mainstream. A hybrid shoe ahead of its time, this elevated design got its form by taking inspiration from loafers and sailing-ready sneakers. In its newest form, the Toblach collection looks to bring back this hybrid style at a time when the trend seems only to become more popular.

True innovation in the watchmaking industry is often measured by the faithful resurrection of the iconic. Panerai has proven this theory correct by masterfully re-releasing its Luminor Marina Ref.

the reebok x market club c 85 drops in two bold new editions

Although it’s not the first time that Reebok and MARKET have worked together on a collaboration, it’s undoubtedly some of the boldest and most statement pieces the duo has released. Tapping into earthy tones and aquatic movements, this new collaborative collection embodies the dynamism you would expect from either brand. As to the inspiration of the collection, Mike Cherman, founder of MARKET, explained, “The inspiration for this collection was Land & Sea. Then we asked ourselves, ‘What if a strap sandal and a sneaker had a baby?’ You get this lightweight, open-air hybrid, made for hot days, wet feet, and spontaneous detours.” Based on this inspiration, the collection comes with two new bold designs and a series of apparel that meets the moment.
