GIVEAWAY – Jack Erwin Ellis Boots

Quality shoes that won’t max out your credit card? That’s what we like to hear. Jack Erwin has been on our radar since they launched and the collections only seem to get better with each season. Designed in New York and hand crafted in Spain, we know first hand that these high quality, simply designed shoes are lady pleasers and comfortable to boot (!).

Since it is the gift-giving season, Jack Erwin wants to spread the love and offer up a gift to our amazing readers. They are offering you gents the Ellis Chelsea Boot in Black, Brown or Arabica. Chelsea boots are actually a Victorian era trendsetter but they had a massive comeback in the 60s. Think the Beatles. We all love a hearty work boot but the Ellis oozes class and coolness. With a retail price of $220, this may just be the nicest gift you could give yourself this season. So get to clicking, and we don’t mean your heels.

Bradley Cooper rocks a Wax London Overshirt in NYC
An icon wearing an icon

Bradley Cooper worked his way into our hearts in the early 2000s alongside Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and others in The Hangover. He then spent the next two decades dropping Oscar performance after Oscar performance until he landed the role of Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That means we pay attention to him. Now, he is one of the guys we ordinary folk follow to stay up on the trends. While he has been the centerpiece of a lot of hair content from all the men's style writers (guilty as charged, Your Honor), he has also taught many of us the subtle art of the leather jacket and, recently, the even subtler art of casual streetwear. We are paying attention again as he steps out in New York City wearing this gorgeous overshirt from Wax London.

Inspiration can come from anywhere. A book, a movie, a song, all things that can spark our creative engines and get us to turn out the best we have inside us. Designers have to find ways to escape the noise of the industry to find inspiration in everything around them. For Wax London, that was what they did. On a trip to Scotland, they found themselves surrounded by the serene beauty of the country and developed their autumn and winter collection for 2024, titled appropriately enough, "Escape the Noise." Of course, any collection that Wax London does now has to include an evolution of the new icon for the brand, the Whiting overshirt. And this season has already gotten a boost thanks to Bradley Cooper, who wore it for an outing in NYC. But that isn't all this new collection has going for it.
Fit for an autumn in the Scottish Highlands

The new Wax London collection features a bevy of specialty overshirts, including the classic windowpane check and the latest season stepney all in a darker nighttime color palette of blacks, navy, and whites. They also add to their repertoire with the Otto, similar to the Whiting, only with side entry pockets. One of the collection's standouts this season is the use of corduroy. Not only do they offer it in blazers and trousers, the perfect fall fabric for exploring Scotland's most beautiful countryside, but they also feature embroidered shirts in a stunning pin-cord texture.

Since 2024 is the 50th anniversary of Casio, the iconic brand is planning to launch a new line of watches to commemorate the anniversary. However, such models were introduced in different regions. Casio Japan was recently hacked, so it had to push the launch forward. As a result, new watch models were only revealed by Casio Hong Kong.

According to an image that was published on the Casio Hong Kong Instagram, the team behind the brand plans to introduce these models into the market: Edifice EFS-S640ZE-1A, Baby-G BGD-S565ZE-1, Pro Trek PRW-6900ZE-1, and G-Shock GMC-B2100ZE-1A. While such models haven’t made it to Casio America’s official page, they will be rolled into the American market in late October.
