Now you can wear your favorite head coach’s jacket

Pick up a HOMAGE x Starter throwback

If you are a child of the 90s, you don’t need to be introduced to the name Starter. We all remember coveting our friend’s jackets when they walked into the school wearing the Starter jacket of our favorite team. There is a list of iconic Starter jackets, namely the teal colorway for the Charlotte Hornets. You didn’t even have to be a fan of Mugsy Bogues or Charles Johnson (Grandmama notwithstanding, obviously) to rock one of those. Every Christmas, kids everywhere flocked to see if they were lucky enough to land a coat with a zipper featuring the S and star logo. Now, vintage recreation expert HOMAGE has teamed up with Starter to bring you a new line of coach-inspired NFL jackets for your pleasure.

Man wearing Cowboys Homage jacket
HOMAGE

There are seven jackets in this collection at the moment. The Kansas City Chiefs, because you have to have something for the Swifties, right? The Dallas Cowboys because it is America’s team, or at least it used to be when Emmit Smith was there. The San Francisco 49ers because we all miss Joe Montana. The Philadelphia Eagles because something has to make Dallas fans angry every year. The Cincinnati Bengals because you need to have the color orange in there somewhere. The Miami Dolphins because the Southeast needs to be represented. And the Cleveland Browns because you have to be reminded there are two teams in Ohio. All jokes aside, these are some of the most storied and legendary teams in the NFL, and now you get the opportunity to wear the same jackets as their legendary head coaches did on the sidelines. Whether you are a fan of these teams or not, there is something for every sports fan to love with HOMAGE’s throwbacks.

The Tie Bar suits you up this summer for less than $400
Linen suits for the summer accessible for everyone
The Tie Bar Linen Chocolate Brown

When you get ready for the summer months, your warm-weather wardrobe comes out of storage and takes center stage in your closet. While there are many garments for your summer wardrobe that are staples, such as shorts, tees, and sandals, there is one area that gets a little more complicated—event wear. The truth is, few people are excited to wear a suit when the weather gets warmer. Layered up under a jacket and tie is the last thing you want when attending an event in 90-100 degree heat. That's why you want to invest in a linen suit, something made from natural fibers, to allow yourself to enjoy the breeze. However needed a good linen suit is, a lot of guys can't drop typical suit money on one that can only be worn for a part of the year. That is where The Tie Bar comes in this season. The Tie Bar suits under $400 now come in linen, offering a comfortable, warm-weather alternative without the need to pay more.
