Miller High Life opened their vaults to allow the Stock Mfg. team to sift through decades of old advertisements to inspire a six-piece collection, all of which will be on display at the Miller High Life pop-up shop open today and tomorrow (October 16-17) in the Lower East Side of New York City.

Miller High Life is in the midst of releasing a limited-edition Heritage series – basically, bottles and cans that tell the story of Miller High Life’s history,” explains Jim Snediker Founder/CEO of Stock Mfg. Co.. “They approached us to do a collaboration to celebrate the brand’s heritage, and we came back with the idea to create a capsule collection inspired by Miller High Life’s vintage ads.  Miller High Life opened the vaults and let us sift through decades of old advertisements to get an idea of their rich history, and ultimately inspire each piece.”

The collection includes a shooting jacket ($250), trucker jacket ($175), fisherman’s shirt ($88), riding pants ($88), vintage hat ($45), and a pocket tee ($35).

The pop-up shop will be open today and tomorrow from 11am-7pm. From 5pm to 7pm both days, the shop will convert into a happy-hour space with High Life, food, and DJ Calco. On Friday, Blind Barber will be on hand during happy hour offering trims and shaves and an embroider will there offering customizations to the collection.

“What’s great about this collection is how natural the fit was. Both High Life and Stock are committed to providing a high quality product at a fair price, and neither brand is willing to compromise on those values. We have a lot of overlap in our customer bases, as Stock and High Life both have very strong followings amongst guys that work in the creative and hospitality industries. “

But the most telling detail about why this was such a great partnership? “We already had High Life on tap in our shop long before we ever started working on this project!”
The entire collection can be purchased in person at the pop-up show (40 Ludlow Street) or online here.

If at first the fact that American menswear brand Mizzen+Main is teaming up with Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt seems unlikely, think again. The Mizzen+Main x J.J. Watt collab is here, and it's got style points to burn.

Starting today, Mizzen+Main  -- makers of stretchy, stylish and performance-inclined tailored gear -- are offering a new line of dress shirts crafted in collaboration with the powerhouse defensive superstar. A longstanding supporter of the brand and its line of effective, sharp and slim dress shirts (and other essentials like stylish chinos), the partnership was a natural fit, said Mizzen+Main Founder and CEO Kevin Lavelle -- particularly after J.J. discovered the product a few years back.

We were partnered with a factory on the West Side of Chicago and the goal of the business was to design, develop, and manufacture high-end American made men’s clothing and sell directly to our customers at a more approachable price point. That was the initial model of the business and is something we still do to this day,” explains Jim Snediker, one of the three partners behind Stock Mfg. Co., a Chicago-based designer/manufacturer that in addition to offering an eponymous men’s line now also runs its own physical monobrand clothing store and creates uniforms for top ranking restaurants and hotels.
