The Strandmok 2.0 is the casualization of the original Strandmok. The 2.0 is made in the U.S.A. with the classic brogue detailing and form that made the original so popular, but small changes were made to accommodate warm weather and comfort. The 2.0 is outfitted with an ultra-lightweight Vibram sole that provides extra cushioning and makes them a great casual option for any occasion. These brogues can now be worn year-round thanks to their warm weather friendly construction. They are fully unlined which allows the shoe to breathe and makes going sockless in these on a hot, summer day so much easier. Also, with your bright summer wardrobes in mind, Allen Edmonds gave the 2.0 a color facelift. With choices like light brown, summer blue, and grey, you’ll be looking summer ready in your brand new Strandmok 2.0’s.

The Strandmok 2.0 isn’t the only Allen Edmonds style selling like crazy this summer. Allen Edmonds is currently in the midst of its Fathers’ Day sale that runs through June 19th. The sale features $100 off select styles, including many brand new styles for spring and summer, such as the Sea Island Suede Loafer, Schreier Tassel Dress Loafers, and the Boone Plain Toe Casual Shoes. With a sale like this from a brand known for its shoes, there’s bound to be a deal that’s too good to pass up.

Some other styles that we’re diggin’ this summer from Allen Edmonds’ new collection are their Liverpool Chelsea Dress Boot, Leiden Wingtip Blucher, and the St. John’s Double Monk. If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve probably witnessed the resurrection of the classic Chelsea boot. These were made popular by The Beatles in the 60s and have found their way back into the fashion limelight in recent years. The Liverpool Chelsea by Allen Edmonds is made with premium leather, constructed with an elastic side panel for sliding on and off with ease, and comes in two colors black and brown. The Leiden and St. John’s Double Monk are classics that haven’t skipped a beat. The Leiden is made with its traditional brogue detailing and wingtip design that separates itself from the rest. The St. Johns Double Monk is constructed with double buckles and is versatile enough to wear with a suit, jeans and everything in between.

Bulova’s new Shelby Racer Chronograph is inspired by the Daytona Coupe
Car, Watch, Man

We are fully in race-car-watch-season, and Bulova is joining the pack with their newest release. The New York company is back at it with Carroll Shelby Licensing for a new limited-edition chronograph.

This one’s the Shelby Racer, built around the 50th Anniversary Aluminum Edition Daytona Coupe. That’s the aluminum-bodied version of the car that made Shelby the only American manufacturer to win the FIA Sports Car World Championship in 1965. (If you’ve seen Ford v Ferrari, you already know the rivalry — that movie covered Shelby’s Le Mans campaign a year later, but the Daytona Coupe is where the beef with Ferrari actually started.)

The Gentleman’s Guide to Wedding Attire
Wedding toast

As a menswear writer, I take pride in snazzy dressing. You can imagine my chagrin when I showed up to a recent wedding as the worst-dressed groomsman. It had been a perfect storm of sartorial mishaps. I’d slimmed down since the last time I wore black tie, leaving the jacket and cummerbund baggy. My favorite cuff links had vanished on a work trip. To complete the fiasco, my tuxedo shirt bore an archipelago of merlot stains from a Christmas party in late ’25.

Fortunately, I had the chance to salvage my dignity at another wedding a few weeks later. I rallied like Rocky. Rush alterations. New cuff links. A crisp Marcella shirt. Polished black shoes. I went from disheveled schlub to black-tie stud.

TAG Heuer just brought back its best Japanese racing collab
Watch, Dial, Logo

TAG Heuer just announced the second Carrera collaboration with Team Ikuzawa and Bamford Watch Department, three years after their first one together — and this time, they went back to a stopwatch.

The watch is built on TAG Heuer’s 39mm Carrera Glassbox, the modern take on the original 1963 Carrera that swaps a bezel for a highly domed sapphire crystal. But the design here pulls specifically from the Heuer Roadmaster, a vintage timing stopwatch Team Ikuzawa used trackside through the ’70s and ’80s, not from any particular car or race.
