Dockers is one of the most popular brands of pants of all time. Growing up, there was always a saying around my house to put on your Dockers when you were getting ready to leave the house. That was used anytime you were to get dressed in something other than jeans. Kleenex is what we called facial tissues, Band-Aids took over the word adhesive bandage, Chapstick was the stand-in for lip balm, and finally, Scotch Tape took over clear adhesive tape. How do you become a brand name that overtakes an entire industry for a product? Be the best. And Dockers became the best and the only go-to for us and countless other families. Now, they are looking to continue that trend by obsessing over your pants so you can get on with your life and not have to think about them. The Dockers “Always a Fit” campaign is looking to redefine the brand for the future with phase one, “Priorities.”

Making pants that just work

When you wake up in the morning, pants should be the last thing you worry about. Coffee, breakfast, getting to work on time, paying the bills, getting that anniversary gift. All of these things hit your mind first thing in the morning and everything just builds from there. Your pants should be easy, and Dockers’ “Priorities” is focusing on a new collection of lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant performance wear that resists spills, wrinkles, and the day’s unpredictability.

“Our job is to make pants people don’t have to think about,” says Nic Rendic, Global Creative Director at Dockers®. “You put them on, they fit great, they feel great, and they move with you. That’s it. Simple, easy, done.”

Bespoke Post’s Spring and Summer collection is comprised of three brands not on your radar

Get to know Line of Trade, Wren, and Fieldworth

Any brand worth its salt has (or at least considered) some sort of subscription service. Sure, there is a bit of an oversaturated market out there, so it may feel more like they should wait it out. But the old dogs that have been doing it for a while are still going strong. One of the first to offer a men's focused subscription service is Bespoke Post. Make one monthly payment, and you get a package with some of the coolest dude-centered gear you could ask for. I got a pretty sweet weekender bag modeled after an old-school tool bag my grandfather used to carry. There was an excellent knife in there somewhere. And the list of stellar gear for the exceptional man goes on. But now they have expanded and you may not know that they have three sensational lines of clothing that also come in the shipments. The Bespoke Post Spring and Summer collection is comprised of three brands you need to know about and some great picks within them.

The North Face looks to keep you dry in 2025 with new rain collection

Staying dry through the April Showers and May Flowers

The North Face new rain collection

In 1966, a brand emerged with a name defining its goal. The North Face got its name from the most challenging side of the mountain to traverse. Since then, they have been one of the most popular and most dependable brands when it comes to the outdoorsman looking to summit the tallest peak, navigate the harshest climate, or just go from the car to the house without being drenched in a downpour. They have now dropped the 2025 rain collection with the goal of getting you from the April showers to the May flowers without spending months soaked to the bone. While they are always stacked with great outdoors gear, there are a few standouts in the collection The North Face released this year for you to consider.

April Showers don’t bother Jack Victor with their new Elements capsule

Rain rain go away doesn't work as well as these rain jackets

Jack Victor Field Jacket

Nursery rhymes may make you feel better on occasion, but "April showers bring May flowers" only works if you actually make it to May to enjoy the blooms. Depending on where you live, you could be in danger of washing away if you don't protect yourself from the occasional downpour. The Jack Victor Elements Capsule is setting up to be one of the most important of the year as it brings the best rain jackets on the market all in one place for you to pick up whatever your style aesthetic may be. Of course, that means there are inevitably going to be a handful of options to choose from, but the collection from Jack Victor is the complete set.
Stay dry AND stylish

For us, the building of a collection starts from the top down. That means we will look at the more elevated options that will create the perfect dressed-up looks protected from the rain. The oatmeal topcoat is the perfect versatile option to go over your suits and office wear. Then, the Herrington Jacket in pure cashmere creates the best smart casual look out there. The next step is to pick up your streetwear or more casual looks, and the best-selling Navy Bomber Jacket is the headliner for the whole collection. The perfect jacket for every day when you leave the office to live your life. They also offer a suede hooded vest that is the pinnacle of street style. Finally, the in-between styles focus on functionality, leaving the raincoats and the field jackets for those times when you need something to get you through the worst weather of the season.
