TGIF Shopping ( & Giveaway!) Ball and Buck Launches Denim

You’ve been relying on them for outwear, dopp kits, leather coasters, fishing nets, and yes even shotguns, since Ball and Buck was founded in 2008. Now, the all-American company “born and bred with red, white, and blue running through our veins,” is introducing denim to the fold.

After fine tuning the perfect fit in pants, Ball and Buck decided it was finally time to offer the 6 Point Pant in denim.

So why now? According to Ball and Buck CEO Mark Bollman, it was always part of the long-term product strategy. “This is the same way we develop all the products we sell – start by building the highest quality products in the world, then take them into the to field and beat the shit out of them,” he explains. “It’s only after they have exceeded our high expectations of quality do we go into production and offer them to our customers.”

Like everything from the men’s wear brand, the denim is sourced from North Carolina’s Cone Mills, where it’s woven on shuttle looms to produce two unique denims: Selvage and Distilled Indigo.

Both denims features camo pockets and shotgun shell rivets

“A couple of the details that make me the most excited is our fit, which doesn’t have the “denim diaper, extra material that sags beneath your behind,” says Bollman. “Also we we’re fed up with our jeans coming apart at the seat seam, so we’ve reinforced that seam for added strength and durability.

As for what’s next: “More fits, more denim weights, and unique material qualities, plus an up cycling denim program.”

Available now at ballandbuck.com and in store ($188 for Distilled Indigo; $218 for Selvage).

For our readers the B&B team is offering up one free pair to one lucky gent. Simply enter below and dare to dream. Giveaway ends December 25th.

If you care about grooming and general maintenance of your appearances, you know that products that help you do so can get expensive. That's why you should have taken advantage of Amazon's Prime Day in October, which brings Prime Big Deal Days deals. The event has officially ended, but certain deals may last all month long, and we've got the best ones below. We also recommend that you look at the Prime Big Deal Days cologne deals and Prime Big Deal Days watch deals that are still available to complete your smell and look game.

Martine Rose, Clarks add volume to the classic loafer
New Martine Rose, Clarks collaboration
lilac padded oxford shoes on green table

Everyone knows the versatility and sophistication that a loafer has to offer. The loafer is a traditional dress shoe that has slowly become an everyday shoe rather than reserved for formal events only. Because this footwear has earned its way into everyday looks, the key is making it unique from your average formal shoe. Thanks to Martine Rose and Clarks, this is no longer a problem, as they’ve created a one-of-a-kind shoe that mixes street style with the timeless loafer. As part of their Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, these two brands have decided to give the loafer a comfortable and cushioned upgrade, without disregarding style. 
‘Coming Up Roses’ footwear collection

Along with a remixed loafer, Martine Rose has updated Clarks’ Oxford, Torhill Hi, and Clog designs. Each was redesigned in bold hues and a unique extra padding on the outside, to provide more volume and design. The Torhill Hi designs are available in black, pink, orange, and brown crocodile leather. Torhill Hi’s easy-to-wear slip-on style makes for an ideal option for colder weather looks.  The Clog was also released in similar black, orange, and brown crocodile leather materials. Clarks’ Wearers can find Clarks’ mid-heel Oxford shoes in black, lilac, and orange hues. Each design comes with Martine Rose’s touch of extra padding, along with Clark’s typical support system for comfort. An easy way to upgrade your daily looks, these pastels and pops of color will add a unique flair to your looks. This footwear collection ranges from $180 to $290 and is available on Martine Rose and Clark's websites. Select retailers will also carry pieces.
