The North Face has never backed down from a challenge. As a matter of fact, the entire premise behind The North Face is to steam headlong into a challenge the moment you see it. If you want proof of that, just look at their name. The northern most face of a mountain is colder. It is darker. It is subject to more ice and more rock fall. To put it simply, The North Face named themselves after the toughest climb on a mountain in 1966 and has spent the last six decades attempting to outfit every climber attempting to meet a challenge with the best exploration gear on the market. For the last half of that six decades, they have had a secret weapon. The North Face HMLYN Parka celebrates the 30th anniversary with a new and reimagined version, perfect for 2024.

New and improved for 2024

The FW24 HMLYN Parka comes into 2024 retooled to withstand the coldest days, no matter if you are headed to the summit or to the office. Its iconic silhouette has been updated with modern design and features, making it more updated and streamlined, transforming it from a high alpine piece to an everyday essential.

Along with the usual refinements, the newest version of the icon comes with 600 fill goose down that offers warmth yet remains extremely compressible, an adjustable, three-piece hood with an internal drawcord with cord locks, and partially-encased-elastic cuffs with adjustable hook-and-loop cuff tabs (along with a laundry list of perks). At the end of the day, every adventurer needs a good coat, and The North Face lives by the motto “Never Stop Exploring,” making it the perfect place to pick one up.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
