This Bag Is a Supermodel

Sometimes, bags just have it all. Like the one in this picture, chilling out on a chair in the Adirondacks, over looking Lake Placid, NY—site of the 1980 Olympics’ Team USA Hockey underdog triumph over the Soviets.

This lucky bit of heavy duty navy 18 oz canvas (who’s really just missing a beer) was hewn into the replica of a rare hockey equipment bag made by the now defunct “Christian” Minnesota hockey brand made for Team USA.

The guys behind Streaker Sports—a vintage-inspired sportswear brand, saw the bag for auction but its uniqueness drove up the bidding and they were unable to walk away with it. Instead, they teamed up with makers of fine bags, Hudson Sutler, to look for some of the most quality leather, canvas, and antique brass zipper around to make their own.

What they found, they turned into something strong enough that you can actually throw your hockey equipment into (and thus almost anything) but still has highest-bidder panache.

Which is probably why they placed it on a chair and treated it like a supermodel. She unzips, right this way.

The North Face celebrates three decades of the HMLYN with a new, improved parka

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.

Menswear legend Todd Snyder debuts watches with epic American collab
Bringing watchmaking to America

Todd Snyder is the master of the man's makeover. With ties to brands like Ralph Lauren, The Gap, and J. Crew, he had a long history in the industry before he founded his own brand in 2011. Never one to buy into the high fashion looks of the runway, he instead focuses on finding ways to make you and I look and feel better about ourselves simply by selling us the right chinos, the right body wash, and even the right scrambled eggs in the cafe of his flagship store near Madison Square Park in New York. With that history, he has countless collaborations with virtually every brand you can think of, and he has added another to his list with Weiss Watch Company, which looks to disrupt the Swiss watch industry by bringing watchmaking to the USA.

"I always seek to partner with the best of the best. Weiss Watch Company shares the same dedication to quality, craft, and timeless design that we champion in our menswear. Together, we’ve created a watch that not only embodies classic American craftsmanship but also speaks to modern style and utility. It’s a piece that’s made to last—both in durability and in style." says Snyder.
