Celebrities are always on the cusp of grabbing clothing lines and sponsorships. The ones with the highest level of success are the ones that reflect the person’s true philosophies. Tom Luthi spent more than two decades becoming a legend in the motorcycle racing world, the sixth youngest World Champion to ever ride. So when the idea to create a clothing line built on precision and timeless style came up, Hockerty was more than willing to team up and bring a line to market that they could both stand behind. The result is a clothing line focused on timeless elegance, superior function, and a silent luxury free of pretentiousness and perfectly tailored to the lifestyle of precision to which he is accustomed.

The three creators of Hockerty built their entire brand on the mission to provide custom-made clothing to their customers’ exact measurements, all with the goal of allowing them to promote their true selves. With that in mind, they are the perfect fit for a man who has spent his entire life living on the success provided by exactitude. With the similarity of focus on specific specifications, Tom Luthi comments on the opportunity. “Wearing Hockerty blends elegance with racing spirit perfectly. I’m thrilled with how it reflects my style and grateful for the collaboration!”

Focusing on precision

We talk a lot about the functional fashion of James Bond and how he is perfectly tailored for a lifestyle that combines the essence of timeless style with the ability to move quickly and effectively at a moment’s notice. Of course, finding pieces that will fit into that mold is usually a task all its own as you need to piece outfits together with very specific features. If you are looking for something along those lines, this line is perfectly suited for the dynamic lifestyle usually saved for the British super spy.

The former racing superstar selects pieces focusing on the exact things he runs into whether he is navigating the twists and turns of the race track or navigating the every day life of the modern man. You will find cotton, wool, and linen as the perfect aesthetic to your lifestyle, all while attaining the features every man needs to feel comfortable like elasticity, airiness, and water repellency. The combination of these two finds that ever line between function and fashion. The style of a runway with the movability of a motorcycle legend is all present in the line made possible by one of the leaders in precise tailoring. The precision of a winning race found in the style of a winning look.

The Ball and Buck premium sporting apparel brand collaborated with century-old Schott outerwear manufacturer to create a 150-piece limited edition leather jacket. The Ball and Buck x Schott NYC Leather Jacket reimagines the original Perfecto motorcycle jacket, which the Schott brothers designed in 1928 and the company has produced since 1928.

The special edition is still suitable for motorcycling, but Ball and Buck reinterpreted the iconic design for a broader audience "through a sporting lens," according to the company. The companies collaborated previously on special versions of the Schott Perfecto jacket.

Men’s spring style tips: The camp collar is the look of the spring
A classic shirt for impeccable spring style
Frank And Oak Cam Collar floral

Spring is a time when men will start to adapt their wardrobes from the cold weather of the winter to the warm styles of the summer. Different shirts become staples as the seasons go, and some stand the test of time. The other day, I watched Thunderball for the 20th time (c'mon, when is it not a good time to watch James Bond???) and noticed our beloved spy wearing a striking blue short-sleeved button-up with a wide collar. That got my brain going, and I started looking into that type of shirt, called the camp collar (alternatively called the camp shirt, cabana shirt, or cabin shirt).

Of course, while Bond will always be my favorite example, I started seeing the camp collars everywhere once they were in my head. Tony Soprano wore them throughout The Sopranos, Sheriff Jim Hopper wore them in Stranger Things, and countless other examples popped up in my head as I thought about them. As I start considering men's spring fashion of 2025, I can't think of a better addition.
