What better way to kick off our store’s opening than with the arrival of the Man Card Bottle Opener? Forged from stainless steel, this killer bottle opener not only excels at its namesake but protects your wallet at the same time. Did we mention it comes emblazoned with a mustache? To celebrate our store’s opening, we’re offering a two-pack at 22% off, making these bad boys only $19.99.

Fancy yourself a budding Ansel Adams? Well, there are few accessory packs as loaded as the Acesori 5 Piece Smartphone Camera Lens Kit which essentially transforms your basic smartphone camera into an artistically powerful rig for a cool $9.99 — roughly $40 off its original price. Complete with fisheye, macro, and wide-angle lenses, you’ll have a blast capturing all those sunny days and late nights summer has to offer.

Last, though certainly not least, if these amazing deals seem a bit overwhelming, why not go with a pair of tried and true socks? Make your dollar really stretch with our Happy Socks: Pay $39 for $60 of Site-Wide Credit deal. Here’s the skinny — spend $39 on a few pairs of one-of-a-kind business casual socks and get $60 in credit to spend sitewide at HappySocks. In other words, this is a deal that’s way too good to pass up.

Enjoy!

&SONS brings back the jacket Steve McQueen wore in “The Great Escape”

Clothing, Coat, Jacket

Can you even call yourself a menswear brand if you don’t have your own leather jacket?

British label &SONS just came out with theirs, and it’s a doozy. They teamed up with The McQueen Estate to build a version of the A-2 flight jacket, aka the jacket Steve McQueen wears in The Great Escape.

Bulova’s new Shelby Racer Chronograph is inspired by the Daytona Coupe

Car, Watch, Man

We are fully in race-car-watch-season, and Bulova is joining the pack with their newest release. The New York company is back at it with Carroll Shelby Licensing for a new limited-edition chronograph.

This one’s the Shelby Racer, built around the 50th Anniversary Aluminum Edition Daytona Coupe. That’s the aluminum-bodied version of the car that made Shelby the only American manufacturer to win the FIA Sports Car World Championship in 1965. (If you’ve seen Ford v Ferrari, you already know the rivalry — that movie covered Shelby’s Le Mans campaign a year later, but the Daytona Coupe is where the beef with Ferrari actually started.)

The Gentleman’s Guide to Wedding Attire

Wedding toast

As a menswear writer, I take pride in snazzy dressing. You can imagine my chagrin when I showed up to a recent wedding as the worst-dressed groomsman. It had been a perfect storm of sartorial mishaps. I’d slimmed down since the last time I wore black tie, leaving the jacket and cummerbund baggy. My favorite cuff links had vanished on a work trip. To complete the fiasco, my tuxedo shirt bore an archipelago of merlot stains from a Christmas party in late ’25.

Fortunately, I had the chance to salvage my dignity at another wedding a few weeks later. I rallied like Rocky. Rush alterations. New cuff links. A crisp Marcella shirt. Polished black shoes. I went from disheveled schlub to black-tie stud.
