What better way to welcome football season than with coasters made from real football leather? These things are durable, stylish, and quite cool — a definite upgrade over whatever coasters you might have had on hand previously. Plus, they’ll work for either pro or college games. Not bad, yeah? Oh, and the rest of the the gear you can snag from Owen & Fred is just as essential.

Huckberry Explorer’s Cap [$39.98]

Who doesn’t love a great menswear style upgrade? Supporting your team can be great, but wearing an athletic logo cap isn’t for everybody. And if you want to stand out subtly but stylishly, this refined ballcap is a nice way to do so. Consider it the grown-up replacement for your beloved college ballcap — unless you just can’t part with that one?

The days of drinking cheap beer at your tailgate are over — or at least, they should  be. The Growler Werks 64oz. uKeg is made from stainless steel and stores up to a half-gallon of beer — that’s a lot of home brew. It’s double-walled, vacuum-insulated and even features the option to change out the tap handles. Not a bad deal for under $150.

MixedMade Weak Knees Gochuchang Sriracha Sauce (Two-pack) [$19.98]

While things like stylish coasters and a great hat are nice to bring to your tailgate, your food selection is really what it’s all about. Add a heck of a kick and a whole lot of flavor to dishes with a neat, delicious version of (nearly) everyone’s favorite hot sauce. The fact that you can pick it up alongside some durable Huckberry chukka sneakers is just an added bonus.

A durable, sharp and stylish casual watch is practically an essential you should have on you at all times. And luckily for us watch lovers, the Huckberry Combat B33 GMT is tough enough to stand up to manning the grill at your tailgate, and refined enough to look a lot better than other watches at the ballgame. No need to worry about spilling on this guy — the gunmetal PVD coating and durable 43mm stainless steel case can take it.

Doxa’s Sub 200T watch is a new, smaller version of the Classic 300 design
Doxa introduces smaller version of Sub 300
Doxa Sub 200T series

Doxa watches aren't exactly the word on the tip of anyone's tongue when they think of their favorite brands; however, they have developed their own community, and some might dub them a cult following. The brand recently unveiled its latest Doxa watch, the Sub 200T which has sent a lightning strike through the hearts of fans, as it's unmistakably more compact than the iconic 300T and 600T models. The lack of smaller options has always been a common complaint among fans of the brand, and with consumer behavior veering more and more in this direction, it's no surprise that the latest iteration is just 39mm. The iconic design of the Classic 300 has been shrunk down to something more compact, sleek, and contemporary.
The new Doxa Sub 200T has a color for every taste

On top of that, the kaleidoscope of color options available from Doxa watches will surely satisfy every taste, from those who like bright and sporty models to those who prefer something a little more classic and subdued. The dial features a sunray-finished design with a luminous sunburst effect, and it comes with two strap options: a stainless steel bracelet with a "beads of rice" design and an FKM rubber strap that comes with folding clasps and ratcheting wetsuit extensions.

Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang gets an icy new color
Hublot reveals new Big Bang in Glacier Blue
Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.
