For over a decade, men have been introduced to small brands with big ideas thanks to Bespoke Post. From the moment the company started, it became clear there was a need to fulfill the desires of men around the country without forcing them to do all the shopping themselves. Everything from bench knives and whiskey tumblers to weekender bags and tools showed up in a man’s mailbox once a month. All it took was completing a quiz to give the group an idea of a man’s interests and, presto, curated awesomeness to improve his life. But they weren’t finished. Instead, they went a little further, and Line of Trade was born to give men the perfect place to go for Americana-inspired menswear.

Knowing what makes small brands work

The team behind Bespoke Post came up with Line of Trade to fill another man’s desire, heritage Americana with high quality and timeless style in their closets. Sure, you could find it in big fashion houses for $200 sweaters and $500 coats that imitate American heritage, or you can go for authentic American heritage for less than half that price and twice the style and quality. The character behind the garments is simple, whether you want to wear it on the job or on the town, it fits in and looks great. Not to mention lasting as long as you need it to. Some of the best sellers include the Waxed Ranch Jacket and the Montana Fleece-lined Corduroy Trucker Jacket, but the first thing you should pick up for your closet to introduce yourself to the brand is the Frank shirt, with its waffle texture it will stand out among anything you or anyone else has.

Amberjack creates their perfect companion with new dress socks
Amberjack now makes dress socks in five colors
Amberjack Dress Socks

The people behind Amberjack spent years working with some of the biggest shoe brands on the market, like Cole Haan, Allen Edmonds, and Adidas, before becoming disenchanted with the industry. While suits have moved forward seemingly in leaps and bounds for decades, you can see the exact dress shoe styles and materials today that were used back when your great-grandfather stood next to the Don Drapers of the day. So they set off to create something different, and a new dress shoe revolution began, with the help of ambassador NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Now that they have recruited hundreds of thousands of men to their revolution, they have created the perfect partner with the Amberjack dress socks.
Keeping your feet cool, dry, and comfortable

There are thousands of dress sock options, so it can begin to feel overwhelming. The question is whether or not to wear solids or patterns. If you decide you want to wear solids, there are even MORE possibilities. That is why buying socks explicitly made to go with your dress shoes simplifies the process entirely. Amberjack has started the collection with five colors: Obsidian (perfect for your darker outfits and more formal moments), Cobalt (the upgrade your office looks need), Ocean (the light gray color your smart-casual looks desire), Olive (the kind of statement you should be making as often as possible), and Ivory (the intriguing rule breaker for a dress outfit). On top of attractive colors, it has a host of features that make it an attractive partner to the Amberjack shoes.

Third Way navigates the changing menswear landscape with LA inspiration
Third Way AW2024 all white outfit

Los Angeles is the perfect place for inspiration. It is the place where dreams come true. There are hundreds of people who have stepped off the bus every day for a century in search of the bright lights of stardom and many more who entrench themselves in the beach vibes surrounding them. From that comes a brand looking to honor the smaller corners of the city, and Third Way has a different view of the City of Angels than those people looking for stardom. They look to change the focus on the important aspects of garments and what makes them unique instead of the name on the tag.

"I think what we are witnessing in menswear is less influence from the top (luxury) and more interest in smaller independent names making well-made pieces with a story or function," says founder Tony Lee. "It’s less about the brand and more about the fabric or how the piece is constructed. It’s really the ideal environment for us."
LA is more than beach vibes and Hollywood

When it comes to iconic men's wardrobe staples, there are a few that swing in and out of style. While most of us think of staples as timeless garments that never sway, from the khaki chinos to the classic Chelsea boot, there are some that may drop out of trendy vogue only to swing back with a vengeance. Now, we are primed for the return of one of men's most timeless staples to barrel back into the marketing campaigns of our favorite brands: get ready for the sweater vest. Now, you may be thinking back to the last time you saw a sweater vest in the wild, and it has likely been a bit. But, just like Michael Myers, it won't stay dead, it can't die, just when you think it is gone, it comes careening back into stylish vogue. But that doesn't mean you should toss one on all willy-nilly. No, sir, learning how to wear a sweater vest in today's world is different. But that doesn't mean we won't take inspiration from our favorite sweater vests from the past.

Here are our favorite sweater vest styles and how to elevate them for today's world.
