Winter is some of the harshest times of the year. There are extreme temperatures, sure, but more that can really take your mood down. With the extreme temperatures of the summer, at least you still have the sunlight and the blossoming plant life to make all the sweltering heat worth it. In the unbearably cold of the winter, you also have to deal with the shorter days and the lack of sunlight. Not to mention, everything seems to be dead. Dandy Del Mar seems sick of it, as they are stepping out to drop their new collection. If you are sick of the cold weather and want some hope for the future, the Dandy Del Mar Spring and Summer 2025 collection is something bright to look forward to. As a resort wear company, they excel at spring and summer wear, and we are excited about what they have going on. Even if we’re not sure we’re ready to store our winter clothing, we look forward to the linen and swim sets in a few months.

New looks and old favorites

The items that stand out to us in the new collection are the Santos Shirt in Tierra Weave and the Corsica Corduroy Short in Argento. The seersucker shirt utilizes deep green and other neutral tones, which will be perfect to go along with the dark brown corduroy shorts. Not only will the colors play well, but the textures give the entire look a great depth.

But it isn’t just the new items that have us excited. The return of the Sebastian Knit Polo and its matching Stirata Short both in Onyx are going to be your best friend no matter where you’re headed this summer. And, of course, if you happen to need something for Valentine’s Day, the Brisa Linen set is back with a new Dawn color, a soft and attractive pink.

Why you should be wearing the biggest underwear brand you’ve never heard of

Pair of Thieves is the third biggest underwear brand and they think your balls will love their fabric

Person, Body Part, Finger

I talk a lot about the importance of style. Fit, function, and fashion come together to make your personal appearance a reflection of who you are and who you intend to be. The value of quality over brand names. The importance of good tailoring over fast fashion. Wearing a suit the right way. The best shoes for your look. The way you can send a message without ever opening your mouth. But you know what I don't ever talk about? Skivvies. That's right, I don't talk about underwear. You know why? Because it is something that I (and I reckon you too) just don't think about. But, in ten minutes with David Ehrenberg, CEO of Pair of Thieves, that all changed. I started thinking about underwear. And he convinced me to try his brand, because he was certain that my balls would love it. He was right. But what is it about Pair of Thieves, and underwear in general, that made them skyrocket to the top of an industry most men don't think about?

Our goal isn't to make underwear some aspirational luxury item– it's to make it the best part of getting dressed. That's reflected in our fabric, our fit, and how closely we listen to real customer feedback. We see underwear as part of personal care, and upgrading it should feel easy, accessible, and genuinely worth it. - David Ehrenberg CEO Pair of Thieves

Peserico drops spring and summer looks in thier backyard during Fashion Week

Italian staple makes news at Milan Fashion Week with their SS27 collection

Sewing, Body Part, Finger

Milan Fashion Week showed out as usual, with designers from around the world coming together to showcase what they have in store for us purveyors of menswear. Of course, the usual suspects were in attendance with the ability to continue legacies and further movements. The big ones are the ones I have been reporting here for a while now. Browns and more browns seem to remain the industry's call. Canali took it further with a spice theme, which doubled down on the color theme while deepening it. Prada took the simplistic classic aesthetics we've been seeing to what I assume is their logical conclusion. "Doing more with nothing." Continuing a theme we saw at Pitti Uomo last week, Brioni focused on the ideas of personalization and customization, bringing out the personality of your looks. And finally, Dinhill wrote a love letter to the blue blazer, calling into focus their love for the English gentleman. Out of all these campaigns, one that stood out to me was the SS27 launch from Peserico. An Italian classic with decades of quality showing off in its own backyard.

1977 Rolex GMT-Master II survives being ejected from a cockpit only to land in a special collection

A U.S. Airforce pilot was forced to eject mid-flight wearing his Rolex. Fifty years later, it's sitting solid in a special collection

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Air Force pilot Captain David Bartell fired up his F105-D for a training mission like any other time. Nothing was different—a routine training mission to link up with a KC-135 aerial tanker to refuel. As soon as the plane lifted from the runway, the engine blew, and he began to plummet toward the Earth. At the last second, when it was clear he wasn't pulling out of the dive, he yanked a lever near his cockpit chair, and the canopy exploded off the frame and catapulted him 100 feet into the air. A few seconds later, when his chute opened, and he began to drift down toward the safety of the ground, he discovered the plane had become a fireball on the ground. He narrowly navigated away from danger a second time before he found solid ground. Then, when he was about to breathe again, pops sounding like cannon fire sounded. Driving him into the bushes. Witnesses to this real-life crash on Thursday, July 13, 1977, said Capt. Bartell only responded with "What a ride." One of the most intriguing parts of this story isn't the failed training mission, but that on his wrist was a Rolex GMT-Master II. Fifty years later, Bob's Watches Founder and CEO Paul Altieri has procured it for his own collection.

You can find another Pepsi GMT. You can't find another life story attached to it. - Paul Altieri, Founder and CEO of Bob's Watches
