The Funniest Shorts on Earth – Chubbies

We here at The Manual are always happy to come across a brand that is just balls to the walls out of the ballpark funny. When we came across Chubbies, we fell into a clicking K-Hole reading every page of the site, even their sizing charts. Clearly it’s cocktail o’clock all the time at their HQ.

Some of our favorite quotes from the site include

-Quadruple Dope Return Process

-Your thighs will thank you

-Take me to Liketown, USA

-The world’s first fully-functioning, NASA-approved boobie magnet

And these words we will be using all summer: Kerplunk, Partypalooza, Mama Jamma, Boomshakalaka

To start, Chubbies is a brand of shorts made right in the Bay Area. They don’t make pants and they shutter at the word Cargo as you can see in their Cargo Embargo video . Don’t let the elastic waist band fool ya. These puppies appear tailored when you add a belt (yes, there are belt loops) and the plethora of fabrics and colors will just make you happy when you put them on.

Why the name Chubbies? The four founders wanted something tongue-in-cheek (oh, really?) that would reflect the irreverent nature of the brand. The elastic waistband also lends to the name. Have too many keg stands and Funyuns? These are the shorts for you, mister.

Buck Mason masters outerwear in Winter in Hollywood Collection
Get the perfect coats for Southern California
Buck Mason Donegal Tweed Balmacaan

The bright lights of Hollywood radiate the kind of heat that draws people from all over the world. When the sun is shining high in the sky, there is a summer beach vibe that attracts virtually everyone at some point in their lives. People flock to the left coast, hoping to explore the beaches and sunny weather. That doesn't mean it is always surf weather in California; they also have some winter weather that, while not as cold and snowy as the rest of the country, can be a bit nippy and windy. From the deserts to the ocean, a good coat and layering is needed. That is where Buck Mason comes in. The Buck Mason Winter in Hollywood Collection puts together everything you need to survive the unexpected cold in the City of Angels and the desert.
Coats for the stars

When choosing the right outerwear for California winter, where you are in the Southern California region is the deciding factor. If you are out in the Inland Empire, the classic UN Deck Jacket with the shearling collar is the perfect protection from the cold desert winds. If you are killing it in the Orange County area, they find the ideal balance of warmth and layering with the Felted Chore Coat. When the bright lights of Hollywood are begging for something a little more elevated, Buck Mason offers the Donegal Tweed Balmacaan. Buck Mason has the outerwear for your season no matter what you have going on in the slightly warmer winter weather.

Emulate your favorite Dutton in a fan favorite
Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket

We don't know why, but we assume it is because we have been watching the new season of Yellowstone. Whatever the reason, we are seeing Western-style infiltrate every corner of men's style, and Taylor Stitch is doing its part. Whether you go for workwear or outerwear, there is always something for you to use functionally, along with the fashion. One of our favorite shirts is the western shirt, and there is a new one landing this season that will make Rip Wheeler envious while driving cattle. The Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket is the perfect mix between function and fashion and makes you feel right at home in the bunkhouse or on the trail.
Fan favorite takes you to the Dutton Ranch

The western shirt is a fan favorite look that seems to pop up every year. But this year's iteration just seems to have a bit more of a punch to it. Maybe it is because of the Duttons, maybe not. But this year, Taylor Stitch brings out a version that looks perfect for the ranch, and is equally stylish enough for the bar and tough enough for the ropin pen. Let's just hope it never has to visit the train station.
