“Never hand over a shirt until you are satisfied with it.” This was the philosophy of the founder of Eton when they built it from the ground up during the Great Depression. They have turned it into a company well known in the industry for some of the best dress shirts in the business. If you are a professional man, you likely have an Eton dress shirt in your repertoire. If you don’t, then you should want one. They stepped out in their fall line to not only continue this excellence with new Supima Cotton Dress Shirts that represent less than 1% of the global cotton production, but with new products that push them into new undiscovered territories.

Stepping outside the comfort zone

The first new products the fall line offers are a couple of padded vests that take you from the board room to your personal life. They are offered in both flannel lined and Poly Fabric, both featuring Comfortemp technology. They also offer a a luxe blouson jacket and a new line of knitwear that include sweaters and long sleeve polos. Eton names this new line for the fall Business Class, the kind of clothing that takes you out of the office. Stepping away from simply the best dress shirts and providing more lifestyle wear could take a company like Eton, built on and dedicated to excellence, into the stratosphere in menswear.

While the new items don’t yet have the same range of bright colors and styles, it isn’t hard to imagine where these are going to eventually go.

Maurice Lacroix goes carbon with new AIKONIC collection
Maurice Lacroix Unveils Carbon-Powered AIKONIC Series
Maurice Lacroix released the AIKON

Maurice Lacroix has launched the AIKONIC collection, an evolved version of its popular AIKON series that incorporates advanced materials and manufacturing techniques.
Crafted at the company's Saignelégier facility in the Swiss Jura, the AIKONIC represents the pinnacle of AIKON design while retaining the distinctive six broad bezel arms from the original 2016 model.
The carbon dial sets this watch apart from competitors. Rather than using traditional interwoven patterns, the AIKONIC employs carbon fibers arranged in parallel lines running vertically. This creates distinctive grey and black striping, with slight variations in fiber placement making each dial unique during production. Maurice Lacroix collaborated with a specialist firm located 40 kilometers from their facility to develop these dials, demonstrating local Swiss partnerships typically reserved for luxury timepieces.
The timepiece features a steel case combining brushed and polished finishes, with angled edges that interact dynamically with light. The crown and bezel utilize matte ceramic construction for scratch resistance and color stability, while an enhanced sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both surfaces improves readability and salt water durability.
The AIKONIC introduces Maurice Lacroix's patented ML Easy Change system, enabling strap removal without tools. The central bracelet links rotate at their case connection points, allowing clean separation and secure reinstallation.
Maurice Lacroix partnered with Soprod, a movement specialist located 10 kilometers away, to create the ML1000 caliber exclusively for this collection. The automatic movement showcases a large openworked rotor, blued screws, perlage finishing, and Côtes de Genève decoration. The caliber maintains accuracy within ±4 seconds daily and provides 60 hours of power reserve, viewable through an exhibition caseback.
The AIKONIC collection features a 43mm case across five configurations. Three models sport black ceramic bezels: an all-black version with DLC-coated titanium case, a black variant with steel case, and a steel model featuring bright blue accents on the strap, hands and hour markers. A fourth steel option pairs a blue ceramic bezel with matching blue strap, while the fifth combines a white ceramic bezel with a black and white rubber strap. Steel models are priced at $3,400, with the titanium version at $3,700. Find out more here.

While KEEN is primarily known for its outdoor shoe lineup that adds performance details to rugged footwear, it doesn’t mean that the brand is shutting itself off from other types. As golf continues to grow as a sport and as a style, it's no surprise that KEEN has opted to dabble in golf footwear for the first time. Along with LA-based streetwear brand Metalwood Studio, KEEN is making its mark on the green. In this new collaborative collection, the duo is releasing two new golf shoes that are crafted for pre- and post-games. Although most of KEEN’s lineup is already suited for any outdoor activities, these golf-specific options offer fans of the sport a designated choice that brings together KEEN’s performance technology and Metalwood Studio’s knowledge of the game.

As Vans continues to shake things up with their design, the brand is now taking a step away from the skate park and heading to the tennis courts for their latest collaboration. Along with Japanese tennis brand Setinn, Vans’ newest launch involves a brand new style for the brand: a classic white sneaker. While the brand is notorious for its skate-inspired designs and street-style vibe, it is elevating its look for a brand new aesthetic that feels slightly more elevated. While this new style is only temporary, it’s a fresh new look for Vans, which looks and feels sophisticated. Debuting in a pop-up in Japan, the new Setinn x Vans sneaker is a curious case of switching up styles but still keeping true to your branding.
