As our readers know, Kaufmann-Mercantile is a great online destination for well curated and top quality products from a wide range of stellar brands. One item that recently struck our fancy was the Seil Marschall Hiking Pack.

With the motto, “Our best machine is our hands,” rest assured you have a top quality product here. This cotton canvas backpack has a leather bottom and felt padded shoulder straps and brass buckle closures. The label has been sewn on the insides so as not to disturb the minimal aesthetic of the exterior (how German of them!).

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.
