The Technical Garments Collection by Norse Projects

By

We love it when a great brand thinks hard about what our wardrobes may be missing. So when Danish wonder brand Norse Projects released their latest technical offering, we were pretty psyched.

The technical garments collection includes five key Norse pieces that have been reworked to serve us active urbanites. Created with city conditions in mind, the collection is just as useful for everyday use as it is for keen runners. Though, we see it working best as your reliable exercise outfit that packs down to take up minimum space in your work bag, ready for a run home or a after work soccer game.

The collection includes two outerwear options, the Balder Windbreaker and the Jens Light shirt. The Balder is windproof, water resistant and packs down into the front pocket for super easy storage. It’s also cut with a shorter fit to allow greater movement when running or cycling. The Jens is a great lightweight option for all seasons. Featuring thin Primaloft® thermal insulation, you’ll probably end up wearing this little baby all year round.

For those who sweat profusely during exercise, the bonded mesh pieces are a godsend. Lightweight and ultra absorbent, the hoodie, long sleeve top and shorts are designed using quick dry fabric, which wicks moisture away from your skin.

Gym dodgers beware, this collection is the answer to all your lame excuses…

Once in a while, a watch brand will remind people that a chronograph can be a serious technical instrument and a completely fun flex at once. That's what Zenith's latest move is, and it's a doozy.

The Le Locle-based maison has added two new interpretations of its DEFY Extreme: the Ultraviolet and the Lapis Lazuli II.

Amberjack The Axis sneaker

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Amberjack.

Amberjack's Axis sneaker is here and it's been quietly building a following in the dress-casual sneaker category for a good reason. At $185, it sits at a price point that genuinely undercuts the comparable luxury options. With premium build, value, and proprietary comfort tech, the Axis changes what a daily-wear shoe looks and feels like and delivers a wear experience that mass-market $100 sneakers and $400 designer pairs both struggle to replicate.

The 5 suit brands you need to know to build your first suit wardrobe: Including the first aspirational one
Building a suit wardrobe starts with the brands you can trust
Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.

No matter what man, message, budget, or shopping frequency you choose, a good suit wardrobe will need to be a part of it. So, where do you go? How do you start? Here are the five brands to trust to get started. No Tom Ford, Brioni, giant fashion houses here. These are the five suits for the man starting out. And one for the man aspiring to the next step. The first four, you can grab your first quality suit for around the $1,000 mark. The aspirational one will be your first custom, so it will be a bit more.
