Say Goodbye to the Shoulder Bump With Well Hung Hangers

It’s a feeling every guy is used to: that morning when you forget to set your alarm and find yourself rushing around your house or apartment trying to make it to a meeting on time. You scramble through a shower that is either too hot or too cold, chew through a burnt piece of toast and brush your teeth while pulling on your pants and socks. Then, by the time you’re in the car or the subway, you notice the lump on the shoulder of your shirt that just won’t go away—the telltale sign of a bad clothes hanger.

A new wooden hanger company has taken it upon themselves to help men avoid this type of situation. Well Hung Hangers makes durable, form-fitting hangers from imported wood, which are assembled in the United States. The domestic assembly is a point of pride for the brand and it’s founders and is just as important as the material the hangars are made from.

The hangers themselves feature inlaid rubber shoulder guards and a flocked pant bar, which is precisely the type of innovation that removes unwanted and uneven creases in trousers; while the 22 inch width and ½ inch thickness eliminate the shoulder bumps that can make the most fashionable and put together guy look disheveled and disorganized.

Well Hung Hangers features a team of fashion industry veterans that have worked with brands such as Neiman Marcus, Brooks Brothers and Macy’s in Manhattan. The hangers are made to accommodate a variety of men’s sizes and the company will work with custom tailors as well in order to make sure the most unique shirt or suit will never be ruined.

It’s about time to get rid of those pinched and bent white metal hangers and treat your clothes the way they should be treated. After all, you probably spent a pretty penny on that suit, why treat it like a second rate citizen? Check out Well Hung Hangers and the next time you have to rush to a meeting, you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

Why the Parmigiani Fleurier PF070 deserves every watch lover’s attention
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronograph 40mm

In the watch business, where larger players like Rolex and Omega control attention, independent Swiss makers find it hard to get noticed. But often, smaller companies build movements that exceed their well-known rivals in technical quality. For example, Parmigiani Fleurier's new PF070 chronograph caliber is a 5Hz movement that stands out, and watch experts should be watching.
Many watch fans can list Rolex's newest items, but fewer know about the technical work operating in Parmigiani Fleurier's Tonda PF Chronograph. The PF070 shows what makes independent watchmaking different: its careful engineering, new answers, and specifications that could cause other makers to envy it.

The integrated movement advantage: Why PF070 stands apart

Timex gives heritage chronograph a sporty summer makeover with fabric straps
Timex makes Daytona-inspired Waterbury even more affordable with fabric strap option
Timex Waterbury Heritage against white babckground

Timex has launched a sportier version of its popular Waterbury Heritage Chronograph, just months after the Daytona-inspired timepiece became a hit with budget-conscious collectors. The new Waterbury Heritage Chronograph 39mm Fabric Strap edition offers the same racing-inspired design at a more accessible $299 price point.
The updated chronograph maintains all the functional elements that made the original successful, including its rotating tachymeter bezel, sub-dials, and Daytona-inspired pushers. The 39mm stainless steel case houses a reliable Quartz Analog movement with 50-meter water resistance and mineral glass crystal protection.
Three colorway options are available: the original black and silver, black and gold, and a new racing green edition featuring black, silver, racing green, and yellow accents that nod to classic motorsport colors. The styling remains relatively minimalistic and clean for a racing chronograph, contributing to its overall appeal.
The primary difference lies in the strap configuration. Instead of the original link bracelet or leather options, all three versions now feature matching fabric straps styled to complement each colorway. These woven bands provide a more summer-ready, casual wearing experience compared to the metal bracelet.
The fabric straps offer practical advantages beyond aesthetics. They're lighter and more breathable than traditional options while maintaining security through Timex-branded buckles. As slip-through straps, the fabric covers the case back, eliminating direct metal contact with skin during hot weather conditions.
The strap change significantly alters the watch's presentation, making it considerably more casual while maintaining the chronograph's racing heritage. The 13.5mm case thickness remains unchanged, preserving the watch's proportional balance.
This fabric strap edition represents Timex's strategy of making popular designs even more accessible. While the leather strap option maintains the $299 price point, it lacks the breathability and casual appeal of the fabric alternative.
The updated chronograph continues Timex's tradition of offering Swiss-inspired designs at American prices. The Daytona-like aesthetic combined with reliable quartz movement provides an entry point into racing chronographs without the premium price tag.
All three versions are available immediately through the brand's website. The $50 price reduction from the bracelet version makes this already affordable timepiece even more attractive to budget-conscious enthusiasts.
