The word “art” conjures up images of great paintings, iconic sculpture, even genre-defining literature or theater. Fashion, though, is just as much a creative endeavor as any. Take Rhone Apparel’s co-founder and chief product officer Kyle McClure, for example. For the last two years, McClure withdrew into the artist’s workshop to tinker and to innovate. What has emerged, as of this September, in Nanoprojects, a new line that incorporates singular design, materials, and techniques.

The point, for McClure, was to make a new fashion reality without consideration for price point, category, end use, or even an aesthetic box to set Nanoprojects apart from competitors or even the rest of the Rhone line. 

“Not only do these pieces differ from what we’ve seen from Rhone, they also differ from what you see from our competitors,” McClure told “The Pursuit,” Rhone’s blog. “We have climbed the ladder closer to luxury ready-to-wear brands with the fabrics, finishes and details of this collection.”

Nanoprojects features sophisticated blazers, trousers, button-down shirts, outerwear, jeans and more.

One of the key styles is the denim wash pant (as you can see throughout Nanoprojects’ promo video), which McClure fashioned in a classic chino silhouette with wider legs and less taper for a heritage appearance. Hand-finished to ensure each pair is unique, the denims are made to wear into a unique patina for each wearer over time. This micro-focus on a singular experience for each consumer is, in part, where the Nanoproject name comes from.

“Nanotechnology deals with the manipulation of individual atoms. That type of precision and dedication to detail was so important for us and thus the name reflects that,” McClure said.

Other items within the first Nanoproject assortment include a 100% interlocked cotton boxy t-shirt (sourced from Japan), a pleated Enzo trouser in a garment-dyed Italian warp knit, a sustainable, traceable, and washable wool blazer and the Mac coat, developed using Ventile fabric originally constructed for Royal Air Force survival suits during World War II.

Prices run more than typical Rhone products, ranging from $98 for tees to $595 for Mac coats.

Ben Sherman gets help from Denny McCarthy for new golf drop
New Golf Drop won't improve your putting game, but you'll look better
Denny McCarthy in Ben Sherman Golf

Ben Sherman became one of the premiere shirtmakers in the men's style industry when they launched his first button-down after watching jazz musicians rock the button-down shirts. When the Mod Movement moved through London and eventually the rest of the UK, men began dressing smartly in tailored suits, skinny ties and lapels, and pointed shoes. Men would spend more on the Chelsea boots of the Swinging Sixties and the collared shirt, making Ben Sherman a mainstay in their closet. Now, the brand spans the spectrum of men's style and has launched a golf line that offers style and comfort. The Ben Sherman Golf Collection, endorsed by Denny McCarthy, is a stellar continuation of the line but with only one setback.
Won't make you a better putter, but it'll make you look like one

Denny McCarthy is one of the best putters in the world. On the PGA Tour, he averaged twenty-three puts in a round, five fewer than the average golfer on the tour. He is the guy you go to watch if your putting game is as bad as ours. He is also one of the tour's better-styled golfers, as the spectrum spans from Tiger Woods and his basic colors to John Daly with his "just rolled out of bed and still smoking his morning cigarette" look. McCarthy is a guy who found the middle ground with attractive looks and colorful options without going overboard. His endorsement of the Ben Sherman Golf Collection gives you the guidance you need to look like Denny on the course. While Ben Sherman can't make you one of the greatest putters in the world, they can at least help you look like one.

Halloween is in the past; we have made it through the election, and now only Thanksgiving stands between us and the impending cold as winter approaches. Of course, you could fall into a few different camps: the ones excited about winter, the ones dreading winter, or the ones who don't care either way. If you are in the first or the third camp, it likely means you have become accustomed to the cold and how to guard against it. If you are in any of the camps, you may want to guard against it with a new collection from one of our favorite brands. The Taylor Stitch Treadwell Collection is the latest winter line guaranteed to keep you warm and happy all season long as we count the days until spring.
Tough enough for the harshest environments

The Treadwell Collection draws inspiration from the functional and thought-out gear of the explorers of our past to create new and innovative pieces that can withstand anything your life throws at them. It has been field-tested against the snow-swept shores of Douglas Island, AK, and claims to be ready for the world's wild and untamed environments. Of course, it isn't just for far-off adventures; with 25 pieces ranging from outerwear and layering pieces to pants and accessories, the Treadwell Collection is perfect for your day-to-day in the colder months. Some of the collection's standouts are The Fisherman's Sweater in Dark Navy Merino, The Ranger Shirt in Tarnished Copper with Blanket Stripe, and The High Plains Coat in Walnut Shearling.
