Worn Out Wednesday – Lou Bopp
It’s not every day we meet someone who casually drops, “Oh yeah, I’ve been all over the world with Schwarzkopf and Dan Rather.” So if the life of photographer Lou Bopp. Bopp first moved to New York from St. Louis back in 1992 and started interning immediately at Sports Illustrated. He was there for six […] -
A Better Way to Deal With Sweat: Ursa Major Face Wipes
Oh, “Wipe.” We dislike the word just as much as you, but since we live in a world filled with sweat, and you can’t always use your T-shirt, we must also live with the reality of things called face wipes. Those of the individually wrapped ilk can be especially useful for guys on the go, […] -
Meet the Superyacht Adastra
If that article we posted a couple weeks ago about the Wally 55 Poweryacht gave you a boat boner, then just wait till you see this thing. The superyacht Adastra, which won Most Innovative Design at this year’s World Superyacht Awards, is an exercise in drop-dead gorgeous, ultra-efficient design. That super sleek, drool-inducing exterior isn’t […] -
Southern Suds: Abita Brewing Company
Louisiana definitely isn’t known for it’s beer, but that’s only because jazz, jambalaya, and Mardi Gras tend to come to mind before anything else. Don’t let that fool you though; the Bayou state has a handful awesome breweries – you just have to know where to look for ’em. Tucked away in the piney woods […] -
The Motley- Your Go To Site for Grooming
We never thought we would say this, but the amount of men’s grooming products out there is overwhelming. Just ten years ago we had half an aisle at the local drug store, mostly with Athletes foot powder and beard dyes. Now, there is a plethora of brands, which is exciting but can be confusing. Enter […] -
Albion Café: Our kind of Café Culture
Don’t get me wrong; I love ‘fancy food’ as much as the next urbanite, but I do not like spending half a month’s wages on a meal that leaves me hankering for a hamburger after dessert. This is where the Albion café’s second outpost really stands up. The hip but ‘real’ eatery is located just shy […] -
What to Wear: White Water Rafting
The feeling from the adrenaline rush that comes with white water rafting is the best — as long as your clothes aren’t completely soaked. Whether you’re working your way down the Arkansas River, Alaska’s Alskek River, the Colorado River, or the Chattooga River, make sure that you put on clothes that won’t leave you feeling […] -

Feel Good Friday – Bombas Socks
Athletic socks haven’t been in the style vernacular since the days of the Harlem Globetrotters. Yeah, it’s been a while. Nobody has reworked a damn ankle or knee sock for eons yet athletic shoes are redeveloped constantly. On a more sobering note, socks are the most requested item at homeless shelters. This statistic had two […] -
Mercedes-Benz does a swimsuit-inspired convertible
For decades, BMW has commissioned art cars from some of the world’s most infamous artists, including Andy Warhol (pictured second in gallery above) and Jeff Koons. Often brightly and wildly colored, the cars brought notoriety and attention to both the artist and BMW. The ostentatious art cars are a delightful contradiction, as the bright paint […] -
Getting The Inside Scoop — Fall 2013
We know that some stores can be intimidating to walk into. They can seem pretentious, too cool, or straight-up confusing (where is the men’s section please?!). Scoop eradicated the tension of shopping in 1996, when they opened their first store in New York City. They were merchandised as the “Ultimate Closet”, and have been so successful that […] -
Worn out Wednesday – Zachary Johnson
We love seeing family bonding in the workplace. The Johnson brothers grew up in Colorado together with three other siblings and about 30 cousins. Years later the boys decided to form a band, toured the country and after that, realized, ‘we can do anything together.’ Knowing they were all interested in design/architecture/illustration they formed Made […] -
Beckett Simonon Makes a Fair Priced Shoe
We often sit around the office wondering what ‘middle men’ will be doing in ten years. With more and more companies like Warby Parker, Harry’s, and Poppin in the mix and cutting the middle man these men better start strategizing. New to the shoe category is Beckett Simonon and we are all about these brogues […]
