MACK WELDON — Change your Underwear

By Tom Handley Nov 2, 2015 11:45 AM

FOR DAILY WEAR. Mack Weldon thinks it’s time to get back to basics with, well, basics. At a time when men have become a legitimate fashion consumer force, why are millions still settling for less when it comes to what they wear under all those well-tailored suits and premium brand denim? The creation of Mack Weldon, a men’s online essentials brand developed with fit and function at its core, it features the fundamental pieces that compose the base of any outfit: underwear, socks and undershirts.

Mack Weldon is about the fusion between old-school quality and modern day technology. Today, men want shopping for underwear to be as painless as possible, so maintaining quality and consistency of fit is essential. Mack Weldon aims to offer its customer a reliable fit, making replenishment simple and quality ensured. “Fit is a key factor when buying a basic since it touches your skin and dictates the look and feel of everything you wear on the outside. Our products are designed specifically with this in mind and deliver a wearing experience that is truly unique,” says Brian Berger, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mack Weldon.

Each piece is engineered to promote comfort, mobility, moisture and odor management, and recovery. With a specially formulated 18-hour jersey fabric, underwear and undershirts retain their shape after repeated wear, and wash with minimal amount of shrinkage. The collection includes t-shirts ($22-$32), underwear ($19.50-$24) and socks ($12).

Bulova’s new Shelby Racer Chronograph is inspired by the Daytona Coupe

Car, Watch, Man

We are fully in race-car-watch-season, and Bulova is joining the pack with their newest release. The New York company is back at it with Carroll Shelby Licensing for a new limited-edition chronograph.

This one’s the Shelby Racer, built around the 50th Anniversary Aluminum Edition Daytona Coupe. That’s the aluminum-bodied version of the car that made Shelby the only American manufacturer to win the FIA Sports Car World Championship in 1965. (If you’ve seen Ford v Ferrari, you already know the rivalry — that movie covered Shelby’s Le Mans campaign a year later, but the Daytona Coupe is where the beef with Ferrari actually started.)

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.

TAG Heuer just brought back its best Japanese racing collab

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.
