Having the right bag is an urban man’s dilemma. Every day is a fine line between being prepared and having to lug around too much stuff. You never know when you’re going to have a night out and need to freshen up or spend a night away from home. And we can tell you that you don’t want to be hauling a bulky gym bag or backpack.‬‬

We’ve been there… Fortunately so have the three founders of Travelteq.

The Amsterdam-based brand has nailed the art of leather laptop bags. Their best selling “Trash Bag” is back with a detachable strap and more versatile pockets. We can assure you, you will tote anything but trash around in these bags. Handmade in Italy, the Trash Messenger is crafted from Florentine Vachetta leather and accented with a high quality, waterproof nylon lining. The new version maintains the clean lines of the original design, large enough to fit a 15-inch laptop, just with a little more room for your goods. They come in three trim varieties including navy, blue and olive all with Fox-colored leather. To make them even more ridiculously useful they have pockets for your airline ticket, mobile phone, sunglasses, and if you’re feeling like a boss – a pocket for your cigars (Sure, why the hell not?).

Drake & Hutch: Good English Socks for Fall
Drake & Hutch

We’ve talked before about Drake & Hutch, the socially conscious, upscale British clothing company that is redefining men’s basics like boxers and t-shirts. Well, they’re at it again: not only are they offering an incredible line of socks, but they’re also reinvigorating British manufacturing in the process.

You’d be forgiven for not knowing Manchester, England was once known as Cottonopolis. In the early 1900s, around 80% of the world’s cotton went through Manchester, which was a major hub for manufacturing. But nowadays the old mills and factories are coffee shops and apartments. Since the 1950s, England’s manufacturing has greatly declined, losing a lot of work to China. Pete McGuinness, founder of Drake & Hutch, who already made the choice to work only with ethical suppliers around the world, has now decided to help revive England’s long, proud tradition of textile manufacturing.

Combatant Gentlemen, the e-retailer who has helped men dress impeccably well without destroying wallets, has expanded from the land of the internet into a real live store in Los Angeles. With this brick and mortar location, they’ve managed to make it even easier to dress well, so men, (Angelenos especially,) no more excuses.

We’ve talked about Combatant Gentlemen and their amazing new shoe line  a number of times and here we go again because they continue to be awesome. Part of what makes their clothes and shoes so affordable, while still being of high quality, is that they control all aspects of production. No middlemen, just their own flocks of sheep (among other things). Fit Tech, their revolutionary sizing technology, has allowed men to shop online with surprising sizing accuracy, though they always suggest a little perfecting tailoring. Now you can have this same experience immediately in the store. No more sitting around waiting for your gorgeous clothes to arrive.
