Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Ford Truck with New Flag & Anthem Collection

By Ann Binlot Published April 19, 2021

A Ford truck brings up memories of Americana. It all started in 1917 with the Model TT and the tradition continues today with the F-150 Raptor. The first vehicle was created a century ago by the Ford Motor Company, and this fall the truck celebrates its 100th anniversary — with a new twist. The automaker teamed up with premium menswear brand Flag & Anthem for a new Ford fashion collection.

The partners are a natural fit; both brands embody classic Americana. Ford was an innovator that forever changed the auto industry with its now-iconic and best-selling Ford trucks, while Flag & Anthem carries American pride in its DNA with its vintage-inspired creations. The companies even got Nigel Barker, photographer and America’s Next Top Model regular, to host a behind-the-scenes video for the collaboration.

Flag & Anthem designers went through vintage Ford archives, searching for inspiration for the limited-edition line, which features all of the clothing items that capture the ideals of the American man’s wardrobe: vintage-style tees, button-down shirts, distressed baseball caps, and timeless jackets. The colors of the U.S. flag — red, white, and blue — run rampant through the comfortable, easy-to-wear capsule collection.

Standout pieces include the graphic T-shirts that depict hand-painted artwork and the bomber and wax cotton jackets with custom patches that carry the Ford name. Imagine driving in your very own Ford truck while wearing the Flag & Anthem and Ford collection. Now that’s our idea of The American Dream.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring

Get creative with your polos with Wax London

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.

However, artificial intelligence is still surging forward and changing the way nearly every industry does business. Hockerty took the path of utilizing AI models to showcase their new spring and summer collection with diverse LLM models from different ages and backgrounds, ensuring it works for everyone.
