Saxx Hyperdrive

Saxx is probably the granddaddy of pouch underwear. Besides some lively prints and tastefully hued solids in comfort-oriented fiber blends, the brand has just introduced a sport short that not only includes a “3D hammock-shaped pouch” but also mesh panels and “Flat Out Seams” to prevent friction and ensure chafe-free support. They offer a compression fit that is perfect for both training and competition.

For guys who prefer a bit less coverage, Ergowear offers this bikini style with a low cut but doesn’t skimp on enhancement. offering a three-dimensional, “nose-shaped,” pouch. The brand’s HIP Bikini collection is made from a soft, fast-drying blend of polyester and elastane that is also highly elastic.

Mark cut his teeth in the men’s style world when he sold suits first at box stores such as Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank. He then spent time as a style consultant, where he helped men find the image they were looking for through tailoring and confidence-building. He thrived when he began diving into the psychology of men’s style, developing the mindset that fashion is what you wear and style is how you wear it. He transitioned into style journalism writing for Real Men, Real Style before finding a home with The Manual, where he broadened his scope to travel, grooming, and mindset (where you can find his work on Gent’s Cafe). He is also working on novels in the thriller genre (bang, bang shoot ’em ups inspired by Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills, Brad Thor, and Jack Carr). He is a huge movie buff, and you can find his work in that space on Looper. And if you ever run into him on the street, you’re likely going to get pulled into conversations about style, movies, or his fanatic romanticism of the game of baseball.   Read Full Bio

I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
