Twillory Releases New Dress Shirts for the Non-Iron Man

By

Ironing is no fun. If you’re like most fellas, you probably don’t like to be anywhere near an iron. Irons are hot, they’re kind of hard to use, and ironing takes time away from other important activities, such as chopping down trees and taking shots of whiskey.

There is such a thing as non-iron clothes, but they come with a price: they’re treated with formaldehyde. Yikes! Isn’t that one of the main ingredients in embalming fluid? Sure, sometimes you can feel like a dead man walking when you’re at work, but c’mon, formaldehyde?

That’s where the heroes at Twillory come in. No, Twillory is not the name of a magical realm in a children’s fantasy novel, but rather a new direct-to-consumer menswear startup. Founded in 2014, Twillory has already made quite a splash in the world of menswear, and they’ve just changed the game again thanks to their new non-iron dress shirts.

Last week Twillory announced the release of a revolutionary new type of chemical treatment for dress shirts, which they’re calling “SafeCotton.” SafeCotton doesn’t have any of the harmful effects of formaldehyde. What are those harmful effects, you ask? According to a report from the United States Government Accountability Office, formaldehyde in textiles can cause rashes, skin irritation, headaches, and has even been linked to lung cancer.

Twillory has been working to patent SafeCotton for the past two years, and it’s finally available for purchase. It’s the first and only formaldehyde-free non-iron dress shirt on the market, and you can get two for just $99. Color and pattern options include sky-blue window pane, blue gingham, blue twill, and white twill.

In partnership with a vocational charity called CareerGear, Twillory accepts donations of used menswear and gives it to the homeless, unemployed, and disaster victims in this country and abroad.

While it seems like New Balance is constantly reinventing its iconic silhouettes, there is only one that has been deemed a ‘rare’ status. Since its inception, the New Balance 1300 has been regarded as a premium design by the brand, and its distinctive release schedule further reinforces this reputation. Dropping only once every five years, this New Balance model has become a sought-after sneaker and a rare collectible. Thankfully, the five years are almost up, meaning it’s time for this shoe’s release once more. As part of the brand’s Grey Days celebration next month, New Balance’s MADE in USA line is getting ready for the launch of its rare model.

With so many options available to men out there, finding the ones that speak to you can be a conundrum as there are a few serious contenders for your wrist. Two of my favorites are Rolex and Audemars Piguet, considered two of the premier brands in watchmaking. It’s nearly impossible to go wrong with either one, and after reading this article, you will be able to decide for yourself which one is the best for your tastes.
Brand recognition

Even if you’ve never worn a watch in your entire life, you know the Rolex name and its status as an internationally renowned luxury brand. Although Audemars Piguet (also known as AP) is not as well known outside of industry circles, the truth is that many consider it to be an even better brand than Rolex, and its exclusivity gives it special status amongst watch enthusiasts.

The G-5600BG-5: An eco-friendly G-shock manufactured from recycled material
An eco-friendly G-Shock timepiece
G-Shock G-5600BG-5

G-shock moves to a new eco-friendly material with the G-5600BG-5, which also stands out due to its white and beige aesthetic. The outer casing and strap are manufactured from recycled resin. While the recycled material has a white hue, it is accentuated by small black spots distributed throughout the casing.

The brand breaks down the recycled material into powder form and then blends it with a beige base. Every watch is unique in some way and highlighted by a certain pattern. Apart from the casing, the watch aligns with the eco-friendly objective thanks to its solar-powered mechanism, which can draw energy from both outdoor and indoor environments. Like other G-shock models, this watch has a rugged aesthetic that complements the casing’s white hue.
