Giveaway- Haspel x AO Eyewear Limited Edition Aviators

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

This fall, Haspel turns 105 years old. To commemorate the milestone, the iconic men’s brand is collaborating with four heritage brands that share a similar focus on small-batch craft, U.S. manufacturing and refined, contemporary style.

Haspel has teamed up with Terrapin Stationers, Mulholland, Brooklyn Watches, and AO Eyewear to develop a collection of limited-edition essentials inspired by the Haspel man. Known primarily for suiting and sportswear, the brand has never ventured into accessories, but Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos, founders of men’s brand Shipley & Halmos and the designers of Haspel, felt it was the perfect opportunity to do so.

“With this anniversary, we wanted to think about the Haspel of the future and how we might round out this guy’s life and wardrobe,” said Halmos. “We also wanted to make sure our collaborators reflected the Haspel man’s sense of humor, style and confidence.” Haspel, known as the originator of the seersucker suit, was founded in 1909 in New Orleans. The brand re-launched in the spring of 2014 under the direction of designers Shipley & Halmos.

These collaborations represent those traits perfectly: from a beautiful, hand-made watch and a classic pair of aviators, to a set of cheekily-inscribed stationary and a timeless leather tote. All must-haves for the modern gent.

Now for the exciting part, check out our Twitter page and retweet this tweet for a chance to win a pair of AO Eyewear aviators.

Giveaway ends Monday.

The Hermès Arceau Petite Lune watch paints a clear picture of the universe

This is how the universe would look like on a dial

The new Hermès watch is a fine representation of the cosmos.

The dial of the new Hermès Arceau Petite Lune can send you straight to space, thanks to the high-quality details and finishes. At the 10 o’clock denotation, a moon phase adds to the whole look and complements other elements featured on the dial. It expands into an eclipse, which is accentuated by diamonds to reflect light stylishly.

The winter is in full swing and that means the cold weather is starting to wear on you. It is for us, too. The days are shorter, the nights are colder, and we're just over it. Once the holiday season ends, the next thing to look forward to is the spring. That means we're just counting the days until we can break out our swimsuits again. Until then, we can make good use of the time by picking up some of the winter shirts for men.

We can use them for a little bit of motivation. Some excitement to get us through to Opening Day of the baseball season. That's why we looked at some of our favorite brands and put together some of our favorite sweaters, button-ups, and polos for the cold weather. Here's to a couple more months until the sunshine.
