Wedding Season: Wrangler has the solution to that guy who hates dressing up

Elevated Cowboy Comfortable

Wrangler Cowboy Wedding — Wrangler

I grew up in Missouri, where there were different kinds of weddings, from the giant ballroom with tuxedos to the barn shindig with the potluck and jeans. There was also the church wedding, which included everything from tuxedos and suits to bolo ties. But there was always that guy who hated dressing up, always the guy who refused to wear the suits and ended up in jeans despite the dress code. While you may always have that guy you struggle to get into something a little more elevated for the occasion, Wrangler may have the happy medium you are looking for in 2025’s wedding season. The Wrangler Wedding Suit is going to make any Rip look more appropriate off the ranch.

One of our favorite things about guys like Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone is that they are reliable. Hard working, loyal, and dedicated. They can always be found pushing the ranch forward. Now, while that isn’t the worst quality to have in a friend or family, many of them have a hard time shifting to the more sociable moments and dressing up for the occasions that call for a little more sartorial excellence. That is where this raw, undyed denim comes into play. Cut from classic Blue Bell denim jeans and denim jacket, they will feel almost identical to what the man wears daily on the ranch. The only difference is the ivory color puts them firmly in the range of a cowbody wedding suit. Adorned with a Wrangler cowboy roping in a stallion, this look is everything a cowboy wants when giving his daughter away or saying his vows, either in the venue, the church, or the barn.

The best non-alcoholic fall beers to celebrate Sober October

Deschutes

Dry January might be the most popular month for taking a break from alcohol, but Sober October is a close second. If you’re spending this month sans alcohol and you’re getting tired of simply drinking sparkling water, there are options aplenty, especially if you’re usually a beer drinker.

If you didn’t know it already, the non-alcoholic beer world has improved a lot in the last decade. When I first started writing about alcohol twenty years ago, I wrote an article where I taste-tested NA beers and the results were fairly brutal. While I won’t name the beers, pretty much all were fizzy, yellow, and at best fairly flavorless. In essence, they didn’t really taste like beer. That’s definitely not the same today. It’s a whole new world of non-alcoholic beer.

Luminox adds a new chronograph to the Carbon Seal Series

Luminox

Luminox began a long-standing relationship with one of the most elite special forces teams in the world in 1992 when they began making tactical watches for the Navy SEALs. Ever since, they have been the brand on the front lines (or behind them is probably the more appropriate statement) of all of the major conflicts across the globe. The team at Luminox elevated the SEAL watches with the Master Carbon SEAL collection which uses a stronger version of the brand’s CARBONOX. A long-bar carbon fiber compound three times lighter than titanium and twice as strong as standard CARBONOX. They are deepening the collection with a new chronograph, the new 3880.

“The connection to the Navy SEALs is both a legacy and a responsibility. From the very beginning, our watches have been designed to perform under the toughest conditions. That expectation continues to shape everything we do—not only for SEAL teams, but also for adventurers around the world who rely on their gear when pushing their limits.” – Pierrick Marcoux, Group Product Director at Luminox

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics

Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.
