Levi’s Made & Crafted Collection is Spicier Compared to Your Regular 501s

The Manual may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site.

Levi’s Made & Crafted collection has taken all the heritage, quality, and commitment to traditional denim and elevated it through the use of premium fabric, new construction methods, and design elements like folk-inspired embroidery, quilted stitching, raw edges, and hand-finished fabrics, making each piece feel artisinal and unique.

Now’s the perfect time to get your hands on a chore coat and the newly-trending wide-cropped trousers, along with a few fantastic sale pieces that are sure to sell out if you don’t act fast. Here are a few of our favorites from the current lineup, including some collaboration pieces with Josh Peskowitz.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Wedding Attire
Wedding toast

As a menswear writer, I take pride in snazzy dressing. You can imagine my chagrin when I showed up to a recent wedding as the worst-dressed groomsman. It had been a perfect storm of sartorial mishaps. I’d slimmed down since the last time I wore black tie, leaving the jacket and cummerbund baggy. My favorite cuff links had vanished on a work trip. To complete the fiasco, my tuxedo shirt bore an archipelago of merlot stains from a Christmas party in late ’25.

Fortunately, I had the chance to salvage my dignity at another wedding a few weeks later. I rallied like Rocky. Rush alterations. New cuff links. A crisp Marcella shirt. Polished black shoes. I went from disheveled schlub to black-tie stud.

Watch, Dial, Logo

TAG Heuer just announced the second Carrera collaboration with Team Ikuzawa and Bamford Watch Department, three years after their first one together — and this time, they went back to a stopwatch.

The watch is built on TAG Heuer’s 39mm Carrera Glassbox, the modern take on the original 1963 Carrera that swaps a bezel for a highly domed sapphire crystal. But the design here pulls specifically from the Heuer Roadmaster, a vintage timing stopwatch Team Ikuzawa used trackside through the ’70s and ’80s, not from any particular car or race.

Gearheads and luxury car enthusiasts will be descending on Florida on February 19th through the 21st as the Cavallino Classic looks to return to Southern Florida for another edition. A collection of some of the most iconic Ferraris from every era is expected to be on display for the three-day event meant to showcase a century of craftsmanship and artistry. Even better, the event has a little extra throttle this year as it celebrates the brand’s 80th anniversary.

We measure our programming by whether it gives Club members and resort guests something they cannot find anywhere else. Cavallino Classic does that. It is not only for collectors and enthusiasts. It is for anyone who appreciates rare craftsmanship and a weekend built around it – Daniel Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton
