The late great fashion designer Waraire Boswell believed that looking your best starts within. If you feel your best, you will look your best. He believed that spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being were the foundations upon which personal style and confidence could be built. We here at The Manual align with the mentality that your outward appearance is a reflection of your inner self-image. If you feel good, you look good. Mitchell & Ness has taken that idea and created a collaborative collection with Boswell’s brand WARAIRE that pays homage to the late legend.

“We are honored to bring Waraire Boswell’s vision to life through this collection,” said Eli Kumekpor, CEO at Mitchell & Ness. “His attention to detail, innovative approach to design, and dedication to creating wearable art that resonate on a personal level are qualities that we deeply admire. This collection is more than just clothing; it’s a tribute to Waraire’s legacy and the values that guided him in both his professional and personal life.”

Mitchell & Ness is a Philadelphia-based sporting goods company founded in 1904. It boasts a crossroads between sports, culture, lifestyle, and fashion. The collection includes a shooting shirt, puffer jacket, keyhole scarf, mock-neck long-sleeve tee, and pin-tucked, relaxed pants, continuing Mitchell & Ness’s mission of making individuals feel their best through perfectly crafted clothing. Boswell’s most cherished love was his family, and in that spirit, a portion of the collection’s proceeds is donated to his children’s future.

“This is a story. This is a story of Craftsmanship. This is a story of Teamwork. This…is a story of Love. We find lessons throughout the chapters of our stories, and we are crafted into greatness by our persistence. We find our team. We nurture that team. And we execute in Love. Love ignites the collective passion. Therefore, love is the goal. And Love will be the legacy.”

Timeless looks with guaranteed quality are front and center

Quiet luxury is defined by the indulgence of basic garments that embody the most classic of looks while maintaining a high level of quality. Items like leather jackets, cardigans, tees, jeans, and Oxford shoes are all considered the basic calling cards of a man who loves a life of quiet luxury. Some brands have spent years in the pursuit of high-quality basics adored by the masses of men looking for the building blocks of a great wardrobe. DEVIL DOG DUNGAREES recently released its fall and winter lookbook, and the one thing that stands out among the staples the brand is known for is its adherence to the classic building blocks. Since they are one of the brands focused on high quality that you can trust, they are the newest members of the exclusive quiet luxury club.
Timeless Quality

If you have followed us here at The Manual for a while, you will know that a good pair of jeans is a man's best friend. They go anywhere with him and can help him accomplish anything he sets his mind to. DEVIL DOG is known for being one of the top denim makers in the industry, providing jeans in dozens of styles, cuts, washes, and colors that work as hard as you do. This year, they continue expanding that collection and now include henleys, polos, CPO shackets, and graphic tees to provide you with the look of classic Americana along with the quality that promises to be some of the last garments you'll ever need to buy even though you will likely buy more.

Vintage looks, fabrics, and brilliant sets lead the way for Dandy Del Mar FW24

Capture the season's trends with matching sets

As we trudge through the changing of the seasons, it is clear that everyone is leaning hard into the vintage look. They are looking to capture the nostalgia of the trends of the past. Looser fits, pleated pants, and vintage knits are all making huge comebacks as people start to look for the new gear they want to pick up this fall. Dandy Del Mar is one of the leaders in this trend because vintage resort wear has been a part of their look since the beginning. They make looking laid back as calm and as cool as it is supposed to be without looking thrown together. The fall and winter collection continues to drop this season with inclusions such as the last denim shirt you will ever need and their first-ever suede leather jacket. But there is one place where they are thriving, and it is a similar place where they have thrived for a while, matching sets.
The brilliant use of sets

Matching sets have been a thing for men since Sean Connery stepped out as James Bond in Goldfinger wearing the blue swim coverup. The look fell off through the 90s and 00s but has since surged back with the cheap fast fashion sets offered by companies like SHEIN beginning a few years ago. However, Dandy Del Mar took that trend and improved on it with luxury resort sets that not only evoke the nostalgia intended but embody luxurious quality. This fall, they expanded that idea into matching sets that work away from the resort, like the Tresco Shirt and Trouser, perfect for any casual or elevated event. This is just another example to add to the many sets Dandy Del Mar has in its arsenal. Other standouts of the collection include the Jacquard Tropez polo and short set, the San Juan Suede Leather Jacket, and the Sebastian long-sleeve knit polo.

Ciele Athletics launches its first cold weather line

Take the excuses out of your winter run

Ciele Athletics Hat

When you start with the question of whether or not you can do something, the answer is typically simple. Yes or no. However, when you ask yourself if you can do something you want to do the way you want to, that answer can be completely different. The founders of Ciele Athletics went into their venture after two decades of innovating for other brands and then asked themselves whether or not they could do their own brand their own way. The answer, looking back, is yes. What started as "just a cap" has become a movement in the running community with the tagline, "Everybody run." Now, the company has launched its first cold weather line to keep you on the move no matter what Mother Nature throws at you.
Cold isn't an excuse

Ciele Athletics endeavors to move people to movement. To get them up and get them out of the house. Running is an escape; no matter what the world is throwing at you at work or your personal life condition, running is always there. It is the embrace of movement that keeps you sane, keeps you healthy, and when the rest of the world feels stuck, it reminds you that you can move. It is easy to hit the snooze button when the weather turns, and you must brave the winter weather. But if you want to reach your goals and process your life and your stress, Ciele Athletics' new cold weather line is there to help you stay warm, regardless of the cold. It comprises best-in-class temperature regulation and performance for challenging winter conditions, complete with layering essentials, outerwear, headwear, and accessories.
