Fitting In: Trumaker Makes Custom Easy

When you are investing in a good suit, or even a good pair of jeans, the most important factor is how well it fits. While most of us don’t have the time or the money to customize all of our suits, a new company is allowing men across the nation to customize their shirts. Trumaker is revolutionizing an age old tradition, all while working around your schedule.

Made to measure, or as they like to call it “built to fit” was previously thought of as something out of reach for the average dudes, but today there are new ‘e-tailors’ launching almost weekly. Fine by us.

Trumaker’s team is composed of skilled craftsman who are waiting to help you create shirts you’ll want to wear everyday.

So how does it work? Go to their website and enter your information – then they’ll get in touch with you and let you know who can hook you up. Trumaker is based in San Francisco, but you don’t have to be. The brands “outfitters” live in different parts of the US. Once the two of you get in touch, an “outfitter” will come to you – to your home – or even your office. You and your new friend will sit down, look through fabric swatches and start taking measurements.

According to Trumaker this will only take about half an hour, which is great because if you think about it, it takes that long to find the right fit in a department store anyways.

Trumaker will then build your first shirt. The perfect shirt. If you don’t love it, they will handle alterations until you are satisfied.

Now you know your perfect size, so you can go to their website, email, or even call Trumaker up to customize future shirts. It’s like shopping at a store that only carries size: You.

For the holiday season Trumaker is sweetening the deal by offering gifts (scarves, totes, shoe bags) with the purchase of any gift card – the bigger the card, the bigger the gift. A perfect idea for your dad, brother, best friend, boss, yourself.

Check out the great selection of shirts, sweaters and gifts at Trumaker right here.

The Surprising Connection Between Luxury Watches and Sneakers
How Collecting Became a Market
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Back in the day, as in pre-2020 (which, let’s be honest, still feels like it was a year ago), collecting was so much simpler. You bought a watch simply because you liked the dial or the way it glittered on your wrist. You bought a pair of sneakers because you thought they made you look like your favorite athlete. Or, maybe there was satisfaction in knowing they might be worth more someday (though we’re still waiting on all those Beanie Babies to go up in price too). Then came 2020, and we all know what happened then. 

When the world shut down, people found themselves with too much time on their hands, more disposable income since there was nowhere to spend money, and a collectibles boom erupted forth like a volcano. Watches and sneakers were no longer just hobbies; they were actual markets. Rolex prices jumped up to outrageous heights, and then later fell like a lead balloon. The frenzy became so intense that, after peaking in April 2022, an index of popular Rolex models tracked by WatchCharts would later fall 21%, according to Morgan Stanley.

Adopt your Wimbledon Whites with these stellar summer pieces
Summer is the time for the all white ensemble, take your lead from the best of the best on the court
Adult, Male, Man

The Wimbledon Championships are the oldest of the four Grand Slam tournaments. They have been around since the late 1800s, and if you know anything about events that old, they are steeped in customs and traditions. While I am a huge fan of customs and traditions, I have always thought it odd when players of high-octane sports wear white. It feels like keeping sweat stains would be an utter nightmare. Having said that, Wimbledon requires all participants to wear white. It is what has come to be called the Wimbledon Whites. Now, I am also a huge fan of dressing the part, so I will confess to being guilty of planning an all-white ensemble just in case I ever land an invite to the most prestigious tennis match in the world. Now, if you are cooler than I and have already landed an invite to the tournament, then I have put together the elements of the perfect Wimbledon look.
