The Italian Stallion never quit, and now neither will you

Do you remember the first time you saw it? The moment you watched Rocky Balboa go for a run through the streets of Philidelphia. The everyman surrounded him as they cheered him on for his improbable fateful moment against the greatest boxer in the world. The moment he started sprinting harder and faster, climbing the stairs, he gave us the iconic moment. These moments are burned into our national consciousness. And now you can recreate the look and the grit with the Buck Mason Welterweight Sweats. They may not be the exact ones he wore (those are likely shreds of thread by now), and they won’t keep you going, but as far as functional performance clothing goes, they are as close as you can get to the real thing.

Channeling the Italian Stallion

Reaching back to the middle of the 20th Century, Buck Mason utilizes the evolution of cotton jersey production, which was popular in the 1930s. Starting with a French terry knit with three ends and brushed on the inside, it is constructed using flatlock stitching, a classic ribbing at the collar, cuffs, and hems, and ribbed gussets—each engineered to accommodate stretch at high points of stress for the best and most durable workout set you will find. Rocky Balboa never quit; he wasn’t the most skilled fighter, the hardest puncher, or the fastest on his feet, but he never quit. It was his tenacity that kept him going and these will keep you going and be as tough as you are. Or, they will work just as well on the couch while you let Rocky do the hard work.

Say goodbye to wrinkles: How to fold a shirt like a pro
Packing or storing, keep your shirts wearable
Flannel folded

Let's face it: We all want everything in our lives to be easier than they already are. If we could design our lives we would wake up and the coffee is already brewed. Breakfast is already made. We would be able to go through our lives without having to spend time on all of the most mundane tasks that litter our day. If you are anything like us, one of the most mundane and dreaded tasks that litter our day and are the bane of our existence is the laundry. In particular, once the laundry comes out of the dryer, you must make that trip from the basket to its final storage space.

Alas, the world is still such that we don't have robots doing our household chores for us so we have to learn how to do things for ourselves. One of the most important parts of doing your laundry is folding the garments so they are unwrinkled when you want to wear them. Here is how to fold a shirt the best way to keep it wearable whenever you want to look your best.

CNCPTS x Burton celebrates three decades with ‘Rabbit Hole’
Skate or Snow, this is a collaboration 29 years old

Whether you are a fan of skating or snowboarding, you are likely familiar with CNCPTS apparel and Burton Boards. Both have been a mainstay in the industry for a long time and have been frequent collaborators. Now, 29 years after they first got together, they unite again for the CNCPTS x Burton Rabbit Hole collection. They are also bringing in Todd Bratrud, legendary illustrator and designer who created some of the most sought-after footwear collaborations of the early 2000s to make the collection unique and dig into the brand's heritage.

“We have skateboard culture to thank for CNCPTS relationship with Burton, so when we approached this project, we wanted to incorporate aspects of both into the product,” says CNCPTS Creative Director Deon Point. “We have the utmost respect for everything Todd has given to the world of skate. While the footwear iterations allowed us to get creative, there’s only so far you can take it with materials and execution. Todd’s artwork took the inspiration behind each project to new heights.”

The perfect companion to the return of the 80s power suit just dropped
Eton shirts white collar hero

We have been talking about it for months now; the past is coming back around to dress you like your ancestors. Or, in some ways, redress you the way you used to dress. Whether you are the kind of guy who wants to adopt the vintage aesthetic from the mid-century, the guy who wants to relive his 80s glory days, or the guy who wants to dust off his Y2K looks to justify listening to his Nickleback CDs, trends are going your way. For the 80s lover, you will be happy to know that the power suit is back, and it is time for you to dust it off and dominate the workday. There is also the drop of the power suit's best friend with the Eton white collar collection that relaunches a menswear classic.
Perfect 80s companion to the return of the power suit

If you are a fan of 80s movies, you may be quite familiar with what we are talking about here. Michael Douglas' Gordon Gecko was the pinnacle of style when he threw on his double-breasted pinstripe suit with his pink or blue dress shirt and red tie. But what made him stand out was the contrasting collar that gave his outfit a little more depth than those around him. The eye was drawn to him the moment others walked into the room. If you like more modern movies, think of Leonardo DiCaprio's turn in The Wolf of Wall Street, where the same was true of him. With the return of this classic, along with the power suit, you, too, can command the room. Only, maybe don't break the law like these fellas.
