Trying on Peter Manning’s new Tribeca Field Jacket

Peter Manning founded his company — Peter Manning/Five Eight New York — on the idea men 5’8″ and shorter have the same opportunity to find comfortably fitting clothes as anyone else. Not only does his company operate on this premise, Peter knows first hand how rare it is to find perfect fitting clothing right off the rack. Because of this, Peter launched his clothing venture in mid-2012 and works to “bring you the best fitting, best made clothes you have ever worn.” Since its launch, he’s helped thousands of customers who experience similar dilemmas while shopping for clothes. So whether it’s your next favorite pair of pants, or an ideal-fitting button down Oxford, Peter Manning/Five Eight New York takes the guess work out of finding the perfect fit for men 5’8″ and under.

Peter’s promise of providing comfortable fitting clothing goes even further with the recent release of his Tribeca Field Jacket; the first outerwear piece produced by the clothing line. Aiming to bring the popular field jacket design to a wider range of men, Peter and company perfectly rethought and rescaled the coat during its production. Touting a shorter length and shorter sleeves, the Tribeca Field Jacket also allows wearers to adjust the wrist and waist sizes for a fully customizable fit. Its cotton flannel plaid lining perfectly accents the jacket’s two available colors — tan or olive — and features a scaled down, corduroy detailed collar. Peter rethought the placement of each of the jacket’s properly proportioned pockets to make them both functional and convenient for the wearer. Streamlined and void of unnecessary detail, the Tribeca Field Jacket showcases everything Peter Manning built his “life long dream” of a company on.

Spring style: The blue dress shirt is the secret weapon of the season
This is the shirt every man needs in his closet, especially in the spring

There is the four-legged stool for men that refers to the four tailored garments every man should have in his closet. The charcoal suit, the blue suit, the gray suit, and the blazer. These allow you to be ready for everything, from the big meeting in the boardroom to the after-hours event, without spending a ton of money on a dozen suits. Versatility is key. The same concept exists for shirts. You need a handful of shirts that can be worn when pitching the big proposal in the office or grabbing drinks with friends. While the white shirt is the baseline shirt every man should have, there is one shirt that is even more important; the blue dress shirt for men is the secret weapon. It is versatile, attractive, and easy to wear. Here's what you need to know about the most vital shirt in your wardrobe.

Seiko adds gorgeous new dial colors to Presage Style60’s collection
The Presage collection is getting better by the day
Seiko Presage 2025

Seiko adds three new watches to the Presage Style60's collection with striking dial colors—green, yellow, and purple. Apart from reimagining the dial in different colors, the brand also revamped the design, merging retro aesthetics with the contemporary style for an elevated look. While this line was unveiled with a 40.5 mm casing, the brand downsized the casing to 39.55 mm in 2024. Like the models rolled out in 2024, the latest additions also feature a 39.5 mm casing, highlighted by bright dial colors.

In terms of design, the brand added a circular groove to the dial to create depth—a small detail that makes the front face look modern. And just above the 6 o’clock, there’s a small white date window that accentuates the beautiful contrast between the upper and lower sections.

Formex presents a new watch, the Space Glacier, in different sizes to diversify the Essence collection. Like the original model dating back to 2018, the 2025 edition stands out due to the Widmanstätten pattern, which is accentuated by a rough texture that adds depth to the front face. The crystal-like appearance is unique and varies from one model to the next.

This new addition draws some inspiration from older models launched in the past few years, such as the Essence Space Gold.
