Pittsburgh Steelers Holiday sweater — HOMAGE

There is something to be said about supporting your favorite team at all times. Diehard fans will never miss an opportunity to toot the horns and slap the backs of our favorite athletes while cheering them on for a win. Loyalty means everything. But one thing many of us will miss an opportunity for is going to an ugly sweater party. Sure, some people love the idea of having fun in silly ways by donning the worst possible sweater you can find to be the center of attention. Lucky for us people who want to avoid that situation, the HOMAGE Ugly Sweater is out here for us. Now, we can wear this “ugly sweater” and support our team simultaneously. Maybe we will get an opportunity to talk more about the missed field goal than the missed style opportunity.

Support your team even in ugly sweater fashion

Baltimore Ravens Holiday Sweater — HOMAGE

Whether you are a diehard Tom Brady loyalist or a Patrick Mahomes faithful, a Christian McCaffrey fanatic or a Barry Sanders lover, a Ladd McConkey youngin or Jerry Rice old head, you can find a sweater to match your level of fandom. With strong and attractive colors that will stand out from the crowd even in a sea of zany sweater looks. With subtle nods to the holidays in the form of trees, snowflakes, and the like, you will cover the dress code of the ugly Christmas sweater party and also wear something you get to be proud of at the same time. Now, if you argue with someone about the 2014 Superbowl, that is on you.

Wicked Director Jon Chu wears custom made from exclusive members only brand

The most exclusive luxury menswear makes an appearance at the Oscars

Jon Chu in custom

The 97th Academy Awards was a show stopped by Adrian Brody's acceptance speech that beat the record for the longest ever, and Kieran Culkin reminding his wife that she agreed to have four children with him if he ever won an Oscar. While Brody beat out the likes of Timothee Chalamet, Sebastian Stan, Ralph Fiennes, and Coleman Domingo and Culkin beat out Edward Norton, Guy Pierce, and Jeremy Strong, we had our eyes keenly planted on Wicked Director Jon Chu and his custom dinner jacket made by one of the most exclusive luxury menswear brands in all of Hollywood: NB44.
Only 44 lucky members as of now

Wicked is one of the year's biggest phenomenons. After years on the stage, the Wizard of Oz prequel finally made it to the big screen and landed ten nominations, including Best Actress (Cynthia Erivo), Best Supporting Actress (Ariana Grande), Editing, and Best Picture. The winning nomination paid tribute to the best costuming of the year, and Chu led the charge with one of the best looks on the red carpet. Of course, he wore green, which paid homage to his Best Actress nomination, but that isn't the only thing that made this dinner jacket stand out. It is a custom piece from NB44, one of the most exclusive LA brands. Launched by Nicolas Bijan, only members get access to his exclusive three or four collections a year. While you can apply to be an addition to the small 44-member brand, it costs a cool twelve grand just for access. No matter the cost, Jon Chu's was the best red carpet costume, making the twelve grand almost worth it.

An expert from Moose Knuckles explains this year’s long coat obsession

Industry expert helps us with the long winter coat

man in long coat

When I walked around New York City throughout the month of February, I noticed a trend that seemed to overtake the entire island of Manhatten: The men's long winter coat. Around every corner during New York Men's Day and New York Fashion Week were puffer coats extending all the way to the mid-shins or lower. While the Big Apple is one of the colder big cities, I was surprised to see a melting pot of a city entirely overtaken by one overwhelming trend. In an attempt to understand the phenomenon, I reached out to Ryan Lewis, Director of Community & Culture at Moose Knuckles, one of the brands with the most significant footprint among the bundled-up masses.
Why the long coat?

The key to wearing a coat and remaining stylish is to strike a balance between something fashionable and something functional. You need to be protected from the winds, rains, snows, and ice, but that doesn't mean you can't look as good as you feel. Lewis believes that is partially what drove that explosion this season.

Vince. wants you to leave an OOO ‘Gone Fishin’

Get the gone fishin' vibe with Vince.

Vince Gone Fishin

Growing up, there was always a surefire sign that spring was on the way. Of course, the weather would change, and I would put the sweaters away and break out the summer wardrobe, but there was another more instinctual sign. Like it was some kind of sixth sense, my father and my grandfather would begin to dress as if they were an hour away from hooking up the boat and heading out to the lake or the river for the fishing season. While I may not be saying you should start wearing your father or grandfather's fishing vest with extra fishhook and lures, Vince. has a new focus this spring. The Vince 'Gone Fishin' line is an elevated version of what my father and grandfather would salivate over every year.
Complete with the loafers

Any good fishing ensemble the men and women in my family wore as they left for the fishing boat included a pair of breathable cargo pants. The cotton-linen cargo pants are perfect for the day on the lake. The natural fibers breathe, and the extra storage is just what any good fisherman needs. Pair those cargo pants with a good, short-sleeve button-up, and you have the look any good fisherman has in his closet. Vince. has a good collection of short-sleeve button-ups to choose from, but their 100% hemp option is perfect for the day on the water. Finally, no good fishing outfit would be good without the perfect loafer. While they have a couple of great options, picking up their jelly sandals is the perfect finishing touch to get you ready for fishing season.
