Playboy Enlists Jack + Mulligan for New Capsule Collection

It’s certainly not every day you can expect to find a bag emblazoned with the irreverence of Playboy, but that’s what the latest release from Jack + Mulligan brings to the table — and possibly to your closet this season.

Based in New York City, Jack + Mulligan is adding to its arsenal of items to round out your everyday carry, this time with two must-haves — the Kennedy Duffel and the Miller Backpack. That both pieces are made with the quality you’d expect from Jack + Mulligan is fitting, and the looks themselves are nearly as eye-catching as a Playboy Bunny.

Each piece is made with water-repellent, heavyweight canvas and available in either cream or navy colorways — both suitable options for lugging gear to and from the gym or as you dress for winter travel (or a trip to the Playboy Mansion?) With waxed canvas reinforced paneling, you can be sure that either the duffel or the backpack can last a long time, too.

And if you own any of the brand’s other products — such as the athletically minded Ali Duffel — you know these are enduring goods fit for bearing the instantly recognizable Playboy logo. As is characteristic of both brands, you get a touch of refinement to go along with fun — the leather accents and handles on each piece echo stylish numbers in the Jack + Mulligan line, like the handsome Welles Backpack. Yes, it’s the perfect type of grab-and-go bag to go along with a sport-inspired classic crewneck sweater and your favorite pair of tough winter boots.

Plus, each bag features a waterproof interior lining, and the Miller Backpack even has room for your laptop — it’s the perfect mix of business and pleasure. Granted, you probably should opt for something a little sleeker in terms of accessories as you dress in tailored winter style,  but for a casual weekend outing and quick trips, it’s a fun way to give your gear a kick in the pants.

And at accessible price points — $140 for the duffel and $125 for the backpack — you’re going to have plenty of cash left over for a getaway. It’s the type of unexpected piece every guy should have in his rotation — and it sure as heck beats a boring old for your morning commute, right?

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.
