We’ve been keeping an eye on Woodies Clothing since they took the custom shirt world by storm—they were fully funded within seven hours of launching on Kickstarter in April 2014 and followed up with a second campaign in July 2015.

They’re back on the scene with a new offering—custom chinos. This time full funding of $15,000 on Kickstarter came in within THREE HOURS! So far it’s brought in more than $57,000 and counting. With the campaign still running, there’s time for you to cash in on their incentives.

I caught up with founder Jacob Wood to find out the inspiration behind this new offering.

“As a founder, I’ve always been interested in what my customers say and what their feedback is,” he said. About a year ago he sent out a survey to gauge interest in the next great product. He asked about custom blazers, ties, suits and chinos and received an enthusiastic response for the chinos.

woodies perfect chinos “Probably 80% opt for our 3D measuring,” he said. “Just plug in height, weight, average shirt size, and the size of pants you typically wear and from that we can calculate all your measurements.”

Woodies currently offers a choice of eight fabrics in a range of colors. Plus, you can choose your back pockets, pleats, cuff hem or plain hem. The regular price is $125.

We love the great guarantee that comes with these pants. Wood promises the fit will be perfect. If you think it needs adjustment, he asks that you take the pants to your local Salvation Army and Woodies will send you a complimentary remake.

Wood is confident, though, that you’ll love them from the moment you put them on. “They’re the best pants ever.”

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards

Turn back time with the new Santos

Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.

You can’t get these SNXS-inspired Seiko watches in the U.S. (yet)

Seiko SNXS is back with 3 new watches

Seiko 5 Sports SNXS Series watches

Throwing it back to the early days of Seiko, the latest edition to the Seiko 5 Sports lineup pays homage to a beloved icon of the brand: the Seiko SNXS. However, this time, it's a modern interpretation, and fans will love it. The SRPK series features the SPRK87 with a blue dial, the SRPK89 in black, and the SRPK91 in ivory. Despite the seemingly basic colors and simple design, these new pieces breathe new life into the original. These new watches are all about the classic Seiko design elements that fans of the brand appreciate, with some modern features like 100-meter water resistance that bring it into this year.
Seiko SNXS has officially returned

Seiko made history in 1963 when they introduced the Sportsmatic 5, Japan's first automatic day-date. The Seiko 5 quickly shot up in popularity as it was crafted with a stainless steel case and bracelet, had water and shock resistance, and featured tons of practical functions while still being affordable. It debuted during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, meaning it was put on the map globally (pun intended), and by 1966, Seiko 5 exports surpassed the collective output of automatic watches from Switzerland.
