Focusing on education and cancer research, Jack Victor gives back

Jack Victor is the premier destination for luxury men’s wear in Canada. They have a curated selection of high-quality products that are perfect in the man’s closet, whether you are the kind of guy who wears a suit every day or the kind of guy who wears elevated basics on the weekend. The Jack Victor COMFORTWEAR is a testament to their desire to push the limits of what modern fashion is while maintaining function and an elegant style every man reaches for. But it isn’t enough just to be a brand that focuses on style. You have to focus on the community as well. Men want to know they are doing good. This is where The Jack Victor Foundation comes into play. The Jack Victor Foundation gives back to their home city of Montreal with a few specific focuses.

A focus on education

McGill University is recognized worldwide as a top teaching and research program. Ernest Rutherford’s Nobel Prize-winning research on the nature of radioactivity was conducted at McGill, and that sparked Jack Victor to make a major contribution to McGill University’s School of Management to fund the renovation of its building’s main lobby. The Foundation also funds numerous scholarships both in Canada and abroad for Canadian students. They don’t stop at education either, as they also contribute to the cancer foundation Hope and Cope, a leader in oncology research, and JDRF, a non-profit organization actively involved in research aimed at breakthroughs that can potentially cure, prevent, and better treat Type 1 diabetes.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.
Clothing, Undershirt, Adult

I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.

Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.

Expect the unexpected with Dior 2027 Summer Men’s Show
Unexpected patterns and substitutions lead the way in Paris
Clothing, Formal Wear, Suit

Tucked back off a small street, Rue de Monceau, in Paris, just a short 8-minute walk from Parc Monceau to the Northeast of the Eiffel Tower, sits a museum many Americans miss on their trips to the City of Love. Musée Nissim de Camondo is home to a wide collection of French art from the 1700s. It is draped in tapestries and adorned with artifacts displaying the beauty of French artistic creativity. This week, it also happened to be home to Dior's Summer Men's Show. These destination shows by the iconic French fashion house, have been home to some of the most pivotal moments in fashion progression. From the "New Look" event a year after the company was formed in 1947, to the "Russian Catwalk" in Moscow in 1959, to this season. What did the attendees of this event experience (other than sweltering heat)? Unexpected changes to classic lines and fabrics that ask the wearer to look to the future.
