Heritage jean brand Levi’s is giving grown men a chance to evolve their fan pride with sports-inspired apparel that looks mature and cool. The brand first dipped its toes into the sports world with an NFL Collection of clothing that mixed team pride with everyday clothing that straight-up looked stylish and felt like quality apparel (not those cheap jersey shirts sold at stadiums).

As radical as this was, it left NBA fans with nada.

… Until now.

Levi’s launched its first-ever Levi’s NBA Collection for five teams: the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. If your favorite team isn’t on this list, don’t worry. Levi’s did a similar roll out with its NFL Collection, starting small and then expanding to every team in the league.

The NBA Collection was designed for the fan looking to express their personal style, without sacrificing team spirit— making use of iconic Levi’s silhouettes and pops of team branding.

Anchored by a sweet Trucker Jacket, the full NBA Collection ranges from $78-$400, and features vintage cues like chain stitching and basketball-inspired leather patches.

Alongside the Trucker Jacket is a classic crewneck piece that has team chenille applique, a nylon Club Coat with team prints, a western shirt with team logo and colors, and a leather Sherpa that puts a vogue twist on today’s NBA team logos.

Levi’s is selling the collection only at its online store, and brick-and-mortar retailers Undefeated, RSVP Gallery, Concepts, and Bosk.

Sometimes, high-end items we have dreamed of owning are just out of reach of our budget. If getting your first or adding to your Rolex collection has been on your list for a while, it's time to sit up and take notice. A report from Morgan Stanley compiled from keeping an eye on the WatchCharts Overall Market Index, which clocks the prices of 10 brands that oversee 60 Swiss watches on the second-hand and used market, shows we are in a sweet spot to scoop up these gorgeous wristwatches.
The price drop explained

How to waterproof boots so you’re always prepared for the weather

Good boots are crucial for getting through wet fall weather — here's how to make sure they last

Autumn is almost here, meaning it’s time to peep some splendid foliage, trek through an apple orchard, and weather and waterproof your favorite boots. While this last action point may lack the charm of other fall-ier activities, it’s a crucial one that could spell the difference between an OK autumn and an unbeleafable one (pun fully intended).

Fall is a disastrous time for footwear. Freezing rain, sleet, snow, hail, and all other forms of autumnal precipitation can wreak havoc on even the toughest shoes if you don’t take the proper precautions.

A man's wardrobe is built with the basic building blocks of timeless garments. Everything from the right denim to the right shoes will define a man's style and the image he projects to others. One of the pieces of a man's fall and winter wardrobe that will define some of his most catching outfits is the sweater.

There are numerous types of sweaters for every occasion. Below is a list of men's sweaters that every guy should own for a complete wardrobe. Remember that your need for sweaters will depend on where you live. If you live the beach life, sweaters may not be a huge part of your everyday wardrobe, but for most of us, there are at least four months out of the year when these will come in handy.
