TGIF Shopping: BOGA Luxury Menswear

Anthony DeWitt
By

The windy city blows a fresh face into luxury menswear. We’d like to introduce you to BOGA a contemporary American brand inspired by Italian craftsmanship. They have highly functional pieces with color palettes that you can easily mix and match. BOGA has built some buzz recently with their well-fitting clothing especially for athletic guys. While they are a luxury brand — the price points are attainable (see below) — and the clothes look damn good. We particularly recommend their calfskin Bossman Boots and BOGA denim which offers three fits to cater to any body type.

We caught up with BOGA’s CEO, Jeffrey Burkard, about the brand here’s what he had to say:

What is the inspiration behind BOGA?

Related

BOGA was created for the modern man. We understand that men want to feel stylish, comfortable, and confident in what they wear, and that they demand high quality and value in everything that they buy. With an evolved collection of smart essentials and special statement items, BOGA makes shopping for a sophisticated wardrobe effortless for the modern man. Although BOGA is a men’s luxury brand it has attainable prices.

Who is the BOGA guy?

The BOGA guy is someone who values style, high-quality, and fine craftsmanship. They expect the pieces that complement their wardrobe to be highly functional and transitional, yet polished. These are urban men who like to add their own personal style to whatever they wear, knowing that what they choose will enhance not only their look, but lifestyle.

Can you talk about the design aesthetic behind BOGA?

BOGA is designed with intention. Everything that we execute, from our strategically placed whipstitched mother of pearl buttons to the way we construct our shoes for all-day comfort, is designed with the modern man top of mind. This means sourcing high-quality yarns and materials from Europe’s most storied textile mills that will perform over time.

How has the brand’s launch gone so far? Are there any big names wearing the brand?

The launch is going well. We launched our e-commerce site in April and opened our West Loop retail store in September, so we’re still very young. We are currently operating as an omni-channel retailer, with a wholesale, e-commerce and retail business all operating simultaneously. We are also testing the waters with our first digitally integrated pop-up marketplace in the heart of SoHo, NY. Several of our notable customers include Stanley Cup winner and Calgary Flames left wing Brandon Bollig, MSNBC news anchor Thomas Roberts, and celebrity trainer Sebastian Morel-Ferreira.

What pieces would you recommend to guys looking to try out the BOGA?

We recommend our premium denim, available in eight sophisticated washes with clean, non-distressed finishes. We have also capitalized on the growing buzz surrounding athletic-fit denim, by specially designing our Koop and Otto fits as an option for guys who need a little extra room for their muscular thighs and glutes. Our collection of long-sleeve casual shirts are also a great option. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, our shirts feature the perfect weight and breathability for year-round wear.

Here’s a breakdown of pricing and different fits. To check it out for yourself visit BOGA online.

Otto- Designed to complement a muscular build. Accommodates larger quads and seat without sacrificing a polished look. This denim allows guys to no longer size up because of a larger seat and thick thighs.

Doxa’s Sub 200T watch is a new, smaller version of the Classic 300 design
Doxa introduces smaller version of Sub 300
Doxa Sub 200T series

Doxa watches aren't exactly the word on the tip of anyone's tongue when they think of their favorite brands; however, they have developed their own community, and some might dub them a cult following. The brand recently unveiled its latest Doxa watch, the Sub 200T which has sent a lightning strike through the hearts of fans, as it's unmistakably more compact than the iconic 300T and 600T models. The lack of smaller options has always been a common complaint among fans of the brand, and with consumer behavior veering more and more in this direction, it's no surprise that the latest iteration is just 39mm. The iconic design of the Classic 300 has been shrunk down to something more compact, sleek, and contemporary.
The new Doxa Sub 200T has a color for every taste

On top of that, the kaleidoscope of color options available from Doxa watches will surely satisfy every taste, from those who like bright and sporty models to those who prefer something a little more classic and subdued. The dial features a sunray-finished design with a luminous sunburst effect, and it comes with two strap options: a stainless steel bracelet with a "beads of rice" design and an FKM rubber strap that comes with folding clasps and ratcheting wetsuit extensions.

Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang gets an icy new color
Hublot reveals new Big Bang in Glacier Blue
Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.
