Feel Good Friday: Gear Up and Give Back with Victorinox Travel Gear

Whether you are gearing up for back-to-school or just looking for a new bag to lug around office, gym, camping or weekend must haves, Victorinox has a great line of bags ‘with the individual in mind.’

The Altmont 3.0 (the 3rd iteration of the Altmont collection launched last January) collection has standard backpacks as well as ones designed specifically to carry lap tops.  They also have surprisingly good-looking brief cases. There are  some great looking totes and ‘mono-sling’ bags perfect for biking;  just please don’t wear them over your suit. Every bag is made with durable Versatek fabric  which is a super durable, highly breathable, windproof and water repellent fabric that Victorinox uses throughout the collection for extra protection from the elements.

This month, Victorinox is gearing up and giving back by partnering with the Boys Hope Girls Hope and Blessings in a Backpack organizations to provide backpacks to students in need – just in time for back-to-school.

For every backpack sold from the Altmont 3.0 Collection, Victorinox will be donating a backpack to help students in need, getting them excited for the coming school year. Regardless of sales, at least 200 students will receive brand new backpacks.

Both Boys Hope Girls Hope and Blessings in a Backpack help children reach their full potential in school by providing the tools they need to focus on their studies; from a stable living environment and academic support to balanced meals to take home on the weekends.

We have included a little video below about the Altmont 3.0 Collection. Enjoy and start shopping!

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
