Jordan Clarkson made a name for himself in the National Basketball Association as one of the most prominent Asian-American players the league has ever seen. He started by being drafted by the Washington Wizards in the 2014 draft. Later that night, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, allowing him to start alongside Jeremy Lin, becoming the first-ever all-Asian-American starting backcourt in the league’s history. He earned himself sixteen points per game in over 700 games played and was an NBA All-Rookie Team selectee, and won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award in 2021. Along with teaming up with Lin for historical collaborations, he was recently seen entering the arena for a game sporting another historic collaboration: The lululemon x Disney collection.

Lee celebrates a decade of stretch with the new Lee X

Get your move on with Lee's new comfy line

Lee X Hero

Lee Jeans is one of the most legendary names in denim. After 130 years of innovation and iconic products, there is no question the brand belongs near the top of anyone's list as the best jeans on the market. At the crossroads of accessibility and quality, they find themselves much more desirable than some other heritage brands. A decade ago, they were among the first to offer stretch in their jeans with the Extreme Motion line. They are doing it again with Lee X, a new and elevated version of their comfort denim.

“We’ve been working tirelessly developing Lee X to bring game-changing innovation to our consumers, so I’m excited to see these products in the market,” said Jimmy Shafer, global vice president for Lee. “The jeans are built on a foundation of performance fabrics but engineered to retain that true denim feel. And the casual pants are incredibly versatile; you’ll want to wear them everywhere. I’m confident that Lee X is creating a new value equation in the market and that these styles will become new favorites of our current loyalists while attracting new consumers to the brand.”

Ben Sherman x Ace Cafe combine enduring legacies in a capsule collection

Ben Sherman x Ace Capsule Lifestyle

Ace Cafe was the place to go when the North Circular Road was brand new in 1938. The cafe was frequented mainly by truckers and other travelers on the road until the building was demolished in a WWII air raid in 1940. It took a full nine years before the cafe reopened, and just like England, it bounced back after the war's destruction to become stronger and more successful. Ben Sherman is one of the more popular brands we talk about on The Manual, it is the pinnacle of British style and embodies the rebellious nature of its origins from the 1960s. Six years after Ben Sherman opened its doors in 1963, Ace Cafe was forced to close theirs. The Ben Sherman x Ace Cafe capsule collection is a testament to the enduring legacy of both brands and puts British heritage on full display.
Enduring legacies of rebellious culture

In 1994, the Ace Cafe Reunion organized the convergence of numerous motorcycle runs that played homage to the closure of the original cafe and brought recognition back to the long-loved cafe. Ben Sherman put together a seven-piece capsule, creating a timeless fusion of mod and biker culture spanning from the late 50s to the present day. It includes two tees, two pullover polos (one long sleeve and one short sleeve), two button-ups (one long sleeve and one short sleeve), and a short sleeve zip, all carrying the classic black and white color scheme and checkerboard pattern Ace Cafe is best known for.

Ledbury changes the suit look with a unique dress shirt option for fall/winter

Update your dress shirts with a flannel

Ledbury Flannel Dress Shirt Open Collar

Wearing a suit every day is a blessing and a curse. The blessing part of the lifestyle is that you get 12 months of embodying the kind of elevated elegance owned by the likes of James Bond and Harvey Specter. You feel the way people treat you; they assume you are someone important. The curse part of it is in the summer, it can be stifling hot, and in the winter, it can be blistery cold, and there aren't a ton of things you can do to fight that. That is until you find a brand that does the small things to help in that matter. Seersucker and linen suits in the summer and cashmere and tweed suits in the winter are the usual answers. But the Ledbury flannel dress shirt takes a different approach to the winter season by adding style and warmth to your seasonal looks.
Adding flannel to your suiting

Two southern gentlemen who worked and studied together under one of London's premier shirt makers brings you a unique elevation to your shirt wardrobe with the Hartman Flannel. While it is customizable to be anything you want, getting it in its stock form gives you an attractive spread collar and double button barrel cuff similar to your other dress shirts. The flannel gives a thickness to your shirt that makes it perfect in the colder months. The softness keeps you from feeling like it is weighing you down, and the elevated pattern allows you to pair it well with your tweed suits or your knit ties. There is no reason to be basic with an option like this on the market.
