Known for a smartly curated, handsome assortment of beautiful leather dress boots — including captoe boots and Chelsea boots — plus slick dress shoes and stylish boat shoes, the Nordstrom partnership brings Jack Erwin footwear to 10 retail locations (from Chicago to L.A.) and Nordstrom.com.  The brand opened its Tribeca Fitting Room in New York City in November 2014, but this move is significantly more substantial for the company.

“Nordstrom is the ideal partner for our first-ever wholesale experience. We have the utmost respect for them and very much admire and align with their focus on providing men with an exceptional shopping experience,” said Ariel Nelson, Jack Erwin’s co-founder (along with Lane Gerson).

It’s a big move for a brand that’s doubled its revenue since its launch in October 2013 — and once sold out of its firs

t stock of shoes in just two months. They’ve since proven a hot commodity for their mix of style and affordable pricing — pillars to which every guy should aspire.

And for those who simply can’t wait to get their hands on more Jack Erwin shoes, Nordstrom will be more than amply stocked. The assortment — which debuted at select retail locations and online last week — includes the handsome Joe Cap-Toe Oxford and the sharp Noah Quarter-Brogue Oxford.

The preppy and sleek Abe Penny Loafer also joins the rotation. Those who need a pair of go-anywhere shoes for a stylish business casual office look are also in luck — the Adam Wingtip Oxford is ready for any office style scenario.

The brand said it’s looking forward to providing customers with the chance to get up close and personal with its sharp, sleek and stylish dress shoes — and for those who’ve only experienced the brand online, that’s about as good as it gets.

Once in a while, a watch brand will remind people that a chronograph can be a serious technical instrument and a completely fun flex at once. That's what Zenith's latest move is, and it's a doozy.

The Le Locle-based maison has added two new interpretations of its DEFY Extreme: the Ultraviolet and the Lapis Lazuli II.

Amberjack The Axis sneaker

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Amberjack.

Amberjack's Axis sneaker is here and it's been quietly building a following in the dress-casual sneaker category for a good reason. At $185, it sits at a price point that genuinely undercuts the comparable luxury options. With premium build, value, and proprietary comfort tech, the Axis changes what a daily-wear shoe looks and feels like and delivers a wear experience that mass-market $100 sneakers and $400 designer pairs both struggle to replicate.

Building a suit wardrobe starts with the brands you can trust
Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.

No matter what man, message, budget, or shopping frequency you choose, a good suit wardrobe will need to be a part of it. So, where do you go? How do you start?

The first four, you can grab your first quality suit for around the $1,000 mark. The aspirational one will be your first custom, so it will be a bit more.
