So many stores have become monstrosities in their surroundings. If you have ever been somewhere that feels truly magical and then taken out of the moment when you run into an Apple store, you know what we’re talking about. The Tie Bar’s flagship store in Chicago doesn’t feel the same. A collection of decorative window displays framed by a black facade fades into the line of buildings of W Armitage Ave, preserving the energy of the street and the city of Chicago. Of course, their hometown is high on their list and became the inspiration of The Tie Bar fall 2024 collection, capturing the feel of the city and the serene midwestern fall.

The collection isn’t just any line thrown together to grasp the season’s trends. The Core Collection from The Tie Bar channels the aesthetic and aura of the company’s hometown, Chicago. The Tie Bar president, Michelle Kohanzo, explains how they brought about the love of the city.

“Our fall collection is an homage to Chicago, our hometown,” says Kohanzo. “We drew inspiration from the streets of Chicago, the hustle and bustle of daily commuters, and the landscape of the city.  The palette plays on the change of seasons and the beauty of a midwestern Autumn. The patterns are classic menswear with a touch of playfulness – a tweedy herringbone, an exploded one, a beautiful woven paisley, and geo shapes inspired by the rich architectural details of the city. We are especially excited about our new suiting collection, Lakeshore in a beautiful Grey Flannel, a Charcoal Pinstripe, and a classic black tuxedo.  We considered every detail when tailoring these pieces, and each piece is made from gorgeous 100% wool fabrics at an outstanding price.”

Ke Huy Quan is enjoying the kind of career revival not often seen in Hollywood. After he made a splash in Goonies and as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, he seemingly disappeared from the public eye for the better part of three decades. Then, out of nowhere, he showed up in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once and revealed that he might just be the next Jackie Chan. Mixing his pinpoint-accurate martial arts techniques with perfectly timed humor, he landed himself an Academy Award for his efforts. Of course, when you are enjoying a resurgence in Hollywood, you seem to show up everywhere, and that is precisely what he is doing, most recently attending the Breakthrough Prize Awards with other Hollywood heavy hitters like Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, Drew Barrymore, and Gwyneth Paltrow. While we love to see him showing up everywhere, we can't help but notice when someone of his caliber wears Eton on the red carpet.

April 15th is an important day in the United States. It's not a day we've ever really looked forward to: the day when your taxes are due. That was until 2004, when Major League Baseball instituted Jackie Robinson Day. While there have been many legends to play between the chalk and bring decades of joy and exhileration to fans of America's Pasttime, Robinson is the only one to have his number 42 retired all across the sport, and a day that honors him with every player in the league wearing that number for the day. Baseballism is the go-to place for all things baseball fandom, and this year, they released a collection of Jackie Robinson-inspired gear featuring the number 42 for fans of the league to wear.
