Giveaway: Pierrepont Hicks Tie

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

The people behind Pierrepont Hicks are good friends of ours and after a couple of beers we decided we needed to do a giveaway together (yes people, that is how these things happen).

Founded in 2009 by two awesome people, Mac and Katherine McMillan, who just happen to be married, the brand focuses on accessories from ties, hats, vests and shoes for the modern adventurer. They make some things for the girls too, so check those out for the lady in your life. Just don’t get matchy on us please. They are also the geniuses behind our favorite roving menswear market Northern Grade.

Even better, they donate a portion of their annual profits to the National Parks Conservation Association. Both Mac and Katherine grew up fly fishing and time outdoors is something they cherish (who doesn’t?).

As for the giveaway:

We wanted to make sure to offer both wool and linen ties since we know some of y’all out there live in warmer weather climates.

This fleece-lined Crocs Shorty transforms comfort into cold-weather luxury

Crocs upgrades its traditional clog with luxurious new details

Although it might be hard to equate a Crocs clog with luxury footwear, the brand has slowly worked to upgrade its lineup to appear much more elevated. With recent collaborations with brands like Barbour, the Crocs brand has added sophisticated details to its products that make them seem much more luxurious. Now, the brand is taking matters in-house with a new release that takes the Classic Clog and turns it into a winter-ready luxury slipper you can wear outside. While the latest release utilizes the traditional and signature clog silhouette from Crocs, subtle upgrades have elevated the design into a slipper that works for almost any cold-weather environment. Just in time for the start of the colder months, these lined Crocs bring an elevated style that many aren’t used to seeing from Crocs until now.

There’s no denying that HOKA’s sneakers come with their own recognizable silhouette and design that’s easy to distinguish from the rest. From high-end collaborations to over-the-top silhouettes, HOKA has no shortage of recognition. However, that hasn’t prevented the brand from continuing to push the envelope, and this time, they’re getting some help from some nature friends. Along with UNNA, a Swedish running brand, HOKA is putting on a fresh spin on its Speedgoat 2 model and adding some caterpillar charms to add even more whimsy to the mix. Along with two new colorways that inaugurate the collaboration, the work between UNNA and HOKA brings a little bit of joy, fun, and color to your performance footwear rotation. As to the use of caterpillar charms, the brand stated, “We’re all caterpillars with the potential to become beautiful butterflies.”

Throughout its history, New Balance has been home to many iconic silhouettes that remain as trendsetters to this day. One of the lineups that continues to deliver premium craftsmanship and quality is the brand’s New Balance Numeric collection. In its most recent release, the line has reintroduced its famed 770 silhouette. A once cross-trainer, the 770 has gone through various phases, including a stint as a popular tennis shoe. Now, New Balance has reengineered the sneaker to embrace a brand new group, the skateboarding community. Around thirty years after its initial launch, the 770 returns with the same retro look of the ‘90s but with a brand new set of features that make it ideal for skaters and non-skaters alike.
