Sebastian Stan is one of the most well-known and most recognizable faces in Hollywood thanks to his run in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Bucky Barnes, AKA The Winter Soldier. For years we watched him first fight the Nazis in WWII with Captain America, then fight his best friend in a Manchurian Candidate kind of way, only to snap out of it and take his rightful place by Cap’s side as an Avenger. Since then, he has found success as real people by playing Tommy Lee and President Donald Trump. Recently, he stepped out at the BAFTAs when he was nominated for his role in The Apprentice in a compelling performance as our current Commander and Chief. Of course, we couldn’t see Sebastian Stan at the BAFTAs without taking notice of his attire, and we keyed in one item we recognized – the classic ETON tuxedo shirt.

Bringing back classic masculinity on the red carpet

Men’s fashion is an ever-moving target,, and if you don’t keep up, you can often find yourself lost. One of the best ways to ensure that you are never out of style is to stay with the classics. Since the beginning of Hollywood and in the history of awards season, you can always find the men of Tinsletown donning black tuxes, white shirts, and black ties. From Jimmy Stweart to George Clooney, it is a timeless look that embodies Hollywood masculinity. Stan elected to go with one of the best shirtmakers in the world to accomplish the look, and the result is one of the best looks on the carpet this year.

This under-the-radar German brand just dropped a slick new dive watch

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Hanhart doesn’t get talked about nearly enough, so here’s a quick backstory: they’re a German brand out of Gütenbach in the Black Forest, they put the first single-button chronograph into series production back in 1938, and a year later they built pilot’s chronographs for the German Air Force. That red pusher button is still on their watches today.

That’s a real, foundational place in watchmaking history; it’s the kind of lore that other brands build entire marketing campaigns around. Somehow, Hanhart still flies under most people’s radar, but their new Aquasphere Matte Black is an argument that folks should be paying attention.

Union Glashütte’s new chronograph looks like a vintage race car dashboard

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Union Glashütte has released a new limited-edition chronograph tied to the Sachsen Classic, a historic car rally the brand has sponsored for years.

The name of the Glashütte-based watchmaker’s new piece is a mouthful: the Averin Chronograph Limited Edition Sachsen Classic 2026. It might be so long because it marks a bit of a switch-up — past Sachsen Classic editions have all been built on Union Glashütte’s Noramis Chronograph, a round watch. This year the brand switched to the Averin, which is very clearly not round.

For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations

Blazer, Clothing, Coat

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.
