Deal or no deal, Caputo and Co.’s men’s bracelets are worth a look ahead of Black Friday

While recently reviewing Nordstrom’s wares for our coverage of Black Friday deals, I had an unusual experience — something went out of stock as I was writing about it. Then, I noticed other items (from the same brand) on a low stock alert. Had I found a trend? Maybe, maybe not, but I was intrigued enough to give the brand a further look. I think you might want to as well. These bracelets, which typically run from about $50 to $150, have captivating designs, unique energy, and are quite eye-catching. Tap the button below to look at what’s left, or keep reading to learn more about these intriguing bracelets for men.

Why you should buy Caputo and Co.’s men’s bracelets

From dark black hematite and onyx to colorful fabrics and shiny silver, the Caputo and Co. men’s bracelet collection offers a little something for everybody. Many of the bracelets have symbols such as “evil eyes” and crosses, featured in ways that range from subtle to striking. Yet, at the same time the collection feels noticeably related. Contrast the brightness and power of this with this and you’ll likely see what we mean. According to Caputo and Co., their style “marries American soul with Central American heart” and this is probably the foundation that holds the whole line together so well despite the many looks and styles they offer.

What to buy is up to you, and the collection is not large. But, you might consider this or this as a fantastic alternative to one of the best black watches, as they’ll serve the same aesthetic style when sitting on your wrist. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you might consider this or dare to gaze into the depths of their .

This is a collection of bracelets that we highly encourage you to go look at on your own, however, and you can do so by tapping the button below. You’ll find the men’s bracelets at mostly between $50 and $150. Be wary, however, of leaving an on-sale item in your cart for too long, though, as it just might (as I’ve noticed) sell out. If you are able to get what you want, though, it just might make one of the best Black Friday gifts, for you or someone else.

Wrangler adds two more fits to its selvedge capsule
Wrangler selvedge now available in original and slim
Wrangler Cone White Selvedge shirt and jeans

One of the common phrases you may hear in the fashion world is selvedge denim. While that may not mean a lot to you when you first start hearing the term, it is hugely popular with those denim heads who love a good pair of jeans. It essentially means that there are no unfinished edges on the jeans that can fray. All seams, even on the inside, are finished. If you notice a good pair of selvedge jeans, they are almost always worn turned up at the ankle so you can see the finished seams. They are of higher quality and harder to produce, so, therefore, they are definitely something to show off. Last month, Wrangler dropped a new selvedge line with a denim jacket and jean made from the remainder of the denim loomed at the Cone Mills White Oak plant. They have now added two new fits to the Wrangler Selvedge line.
Now in an original and slim fit

The original fit, known in Wrangler speak as the Cowboy Cuts, is a mid-rise design with a regular fit through the thigh and a slim through-the-leg opening. The slim-fit straights are lower on the waist, with a slim fit through the thigh and a straight leg that’ll still fit over your favorite pair of boots. They both feature all the heritage details, including our signature five-pocket styling, ‘W’ embroidery on the pocket, and the dark indigo color perfect for your favorite Western look. Here is some advice from us: Get a pair about an inch longer than your usual jeans to roll them up and show off the selvedge seam.

Recent Puma collaborations have highlighted the creativity of some of their retro design, but their latest partnership is far from anything you have seen from the sneaker brand yet. Together with DIY specialist Nicole McLaughlin, Puma is releasing a vibrant new sneaker that celebrates sustainability and the art of upcycling. As part of their “Sweep the Factory Floor” campaign, Puma utilizes suede patchwork to create a new design where no two pairs are alike. Not only does this new shoe represent a step towards sustainability but it’s a funky and fun option for those who enjoy adding a little color to their looks. Besides the colorful hues, this Puma shoe incorporates some of your favorite aspects of Puma sneakers, making it a win all around. 
Puma suede “Sweep the Factory Floor” sneaker

Using the 1960s Puma sneaker as a base of the design, McLaughlin created this unique sneaker using randomized suede swatches to create a patchwork pattern. On the top of the shoe, a buttoned pouch covers the laces, giving the sneaker an all-around patchwork detail. McLaughlin’s name and logo are found inside the shoe and at the heel to indicate the one-of-a-kind collaboration. The sneaker utilizes scrap materials found in the factory, as pointed out by Ferdinand Krug, Puma’s partnership manager of global collaborations. Although an official date and price point were not announced, it is highly assumed this collaboration will be released to the public sooner rather than later. While we wait for the official launch, there's no doubt that this new sustainable Puma sneaker is a rare design that goes beyond the shoe.
