Wrangler revives iconic denim mill

Iconic mill revived by western brand for legendary throwback

Some things just work together: beer and pizza, chocolate and peanut butter, Tom and Jerry, Hall and Oats. You get the idea. Wrangler is one of the most well-known brands in the jeans industry due to its innovation and stranglehold in the Western industry. The choice of cowboys everywhere, Wrangler is a brand that works as hard as you do. Cone Denim and its White Oak plant in Greensboro, North Carolina, is the kind of legend you have never heard of. Unless, of course, you are in the industry yourself. They built what Levis came up with, and until they shut down a few years ago, were a mainstay of the denim industry. Now, Wrangler Cone White Selvedge is the new line from both brands that gives beer and pizza a run for its money.

Reaching deep into its archives and opening the vault for the pleasure of the brand’s true fans, Wrangler revives some of the last remaining yarn loomed at the Cone Denim White Oak plant to recreate an icon. Creating a new classic Cowboy Cut jeans and trucker jacket inspired by Rodeo Ben (the brand’s first-ever celebrity who designed clothing for them), they have a new look sure to give any Wrangler fan the warm and fuzzies for years to come. The jeans fit like they would have been for cowboys at the brand’s height, made to be rolled and cuffed like any good selvedge. The updated jacket comes with contrasted stitching and two chest pockets.

Iconic watch brand Universal Genève is back

One of the biggest luxury watch brands, Universal Genève, returns to life after 20 years. While the brand is famous for its exquisite timepieces, it has been inactive in recent years, which is why you can be forgiven if you don't know much about it.

From 1894 to the present, the brand amassed a huge following, even though it eventually went under. Universal Genève was hugely affected by the 1989 quartz crisis, and it was acquired by Stelux Holdings in the ‘90s. Unfortunately, Stelux couldn’t revive the brand—things went silent in 2005.

This is how often you should clean your suit for a polished look
Keep your tailored clothing top notch
Suit jackets hanging up next to each other

Suits are some of a man's oldest surviving wardrobe pieces. They have been the bread and butter of masculine elegance in one way or another for centuries, with the modern iteration filling our closets for the last 100 years. Since men started wearing evening ties under single and double-breasted jackets and defining the decades of the previous century, we have had to find ways to keep them up to par between wears.

Nowadays, things are different. How often do we need to take your suit in for a cleaning? Can we do it at home? How do we care of them in between? For tips on cleaning a suit, we’ve reached out to Gary Flynn, CEO at M. Dumas & Sons in Charleston, South Carolina, and Joe Mueller at Wildwood & Company in Portland, Oregon.

Ariat wants to make you look like Rip with “Yellowstone” collection
Western Icon Teams with Western Television Phenomenon
Ariat x Yellowstone Man and Woman in Field

John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and his team of people on the Dutton Ranch changed the world when they hit the screens. Not only were people fascinated by characters like Rip (Cole Hauser), Beth (Kelly Reilly), Kayce (Luke Grimes), and Jamie (Wes Bentley), but they may have been even more smitten with the wardrobe. Not many TV series can boast that they launched a full-blown fashion trend, but Yellowstone has done just that. Now, Western icon brand Ariat has teamed up with the series to develop a collection that will make you look like you belong on the back of a horse and, hopefully, not at the train station.

“Because Ariat is engrained in the Western communities that Yellowstone is based on, our clothing and boots have organically shown up on the show throughout the years," says Megan Iwersen, Ariat’s Chief Product Officer. "Now, with the Ariat x Yellowstone collaboration, Ariat is even more visible in the Yellowstone universe and is more accessible to those fans captivated by the American West. Johnetta helped us develop Western looks that both honor our heritage and deliver a modern aesthetic for anyone wanting to incorporate a bit of Western flair into their wardrobe.”
Not just inspired by "Yellowstone"
