Now that fall has officially set in, kids going back to school are reminiscing about their freedom in the summer months. One of those memories that kids everywhere wish they could return to is their summer camp. Thoughts of days in nature and nights under the stars create lifelong memories that remind us the world is beautiful and serene, even when we spend so much of our time in the chaos of city life. The Tie Bar is harnessing that nostalgia with a fall collection of accessories inspired by this nostalgia in collaboration with the historic Camp Wandawega outside of Chicago.

“Camp Wandawega has become a favorite destination of mine over the years and a place I’ve wanted to collaborate with from the moment I started with this brand. Seeing their rich history and impeccable eye for detail, brought to life through the lens of our accessories, are truly the ultimate fall must-haves. Managing to feel equal parts vintage and modern at the same time,” says Michelle Kohanzo, President of Tie Bar.

Fall has an outdoor look

With a history steeped in American culture, Camp Wandawega started as a speakeasy escape during prohibition. Complete with organized crime and women of the night, it was an escape from the constraints of Chicago life. Once going legit in the 1950s, it remained an escape from the constraints of Chicago life…only with more wholesome pursuits outside of organized crime. The Tie Bar fall fashion collaboration includes 50 pieces (priced from $22 to $78) that take the meld of nature and city and mold them together in a way that honors both.

You may be stifling in the city apartments and business casual offices, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take the freedom of camp with you in your fall wardrobe.

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.
