The Canadian-based Moose Knuckles is your ticket to a warm (and stylish) winter

After making a name for itself up north in Canada, the premium sportswear brand Moose Knuckles recently announced its gearing up to expand into the United States just in time for winter. Already reputable among international retailers, the brand prides itself on putting a youthful spin on traditional outerwear and operating with what it calls, a “no holds barred” attitude. Whether its wanton philosophy resonates with you or not, there’s no getting around the sheer quality of Moose Knuckles’ extensive collection (for men and women) and its uncanny ability to appeal to literally anyone.

With the brand eyeing such a move into the states, it’s tapped the likes of Nordstrom, Revolve, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Paragon to function as Moose Knuckles ambassadors. Assuming its Fall/Winter collection proves to be a success, it’s highly likely the number of stores featuring the brand’s impressive lines multiplies every season. Considering the kind of company it’s already swooned into carrying its clothing, that success doesn’t seem entirely hard to accomplish.

Concerning the products themselves, each quality selection in Moose Knuckles’ catalogue is constructed with a keen eye towards achieving incredible form and unparalleled function. Whether it’s the specialized blend of cotton and nylon, the grey duck down insulation to keep you warm when temperatures are below freezing, or each jacket’s industrial strength YKK zippers, Moose Knuckles cuts no corners in bringing its customers the absolute best. Moreover, each jacket, vest, or otherwise is entirely unique in its design and construction literally making no two product wholly the same. Moose Knuckles’ commitment to diversity allows it to stand out in an otherwise crowded pack of outerwear purveyors.

For its now-released Fall/Winter 2015 Collection, Moose Knuckles admits to creating its own winter festival culture by digging into the spirit of the Canadian outdoors. Classy peacoats, reinterpreted plaid prints on vests and jackets, and cords and furs headline the impressive collection and perfectly encapsulate the brand’s devotion to youthful irreverence. So no matter what kind of winter adventures lay ahead for you and your crew, take some time to comb through the Moose Knuckles collection; you won’t be disappointed.

Amberjack The Axis sneaker

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Amberjack.

Amberjack's Axis sneaker is here and it's been quietly building a following in the dress-casual sneaker category for a good reason. At $185, it sits at a price point that genuinely undercuts the comparable luxury options. With premium build, value, and proprietary comfort tech, the Axis changes what a daily-wear shoe looks and feels like and delivers a wear experience that mass-market $100 sneakers and $400 designer pairs both struggle to replicate.

The 5 suit brands you need to know to build your first suit wardrobe: Including the first aspirational one
Building a suit wardrobe starts with the brands you can trust
Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.

No matter what man, message, budget, or shopping frequency you choose, a good suit wardrobe will need to be a part of it. So, where do you go? How do you start? Here are the five brands to trust to get started. No Tom Ford, Brioni, giant fashion houses here. These are the five suits for the man starting out. And one for the man aspiring to the next step. The first four, you can grab your first quality suit for around the $1,000 mark. The aspirational one will be your first custom, so it will be a bit more.

Longines refreshes its cult-favorite central power reserve in light blue
The Swiss watch company is giving the Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve some new dial and bracelet options.
Wristwatch, Arm, Dial

Longines has been around since 1832, which makes it one of the oldest continuously operating watchmakers on Earth — old enough to have spent decades strapped to the wrists of aviators and explorers before most brands existed. So when the Saint-Imier company, now part of the Swiss giant Swatch Group, revives something from its own archives, it's got real history to draw on. The Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is a good example.

The Conquest line dates to 1954 — the first Longines collection to have its name trademarked with the Swiss IP office. And in 1959, one Conquest model introduced the complication this watch is built around: a power reserve indicator planted dead center on the dial. For 2026, Longines has given the modern revival a light refresh: a new light-blue opaline dial and (for the first time on this model) a stainless-steel bracelet alongside the returning dark leather strap.
