TGIF Shopping ( & Giveaway!) Ball and Buck Launches Denim

You’ve been relying on them for outwear, dopp kits, leather coasters, fishing nets, and yes even shotguns, since Ball and Buck was founded in 2008. Now, the all-American company “born and bred with red, white, and blue running through our veins,” is introducing denim to the fold.

After fine tuning the perfect fit in pants, Ball and Buck decided it was finally time to offer the 6 Point Pant in denim.

So why now? According to Ball and Buck CEO Mark Bollman, it was always part of the long-term product strategy. “This is the same way we develop all the products we sell – start by building the highest quality products in the world, then take them into the to field and beat the shit out of them,” he explains. “It’s only after they have exceeded our high expectations of quality do we go into production and offer them to our customers.”

Like everything from the men’s wear brand, the denim is sourced from North Carolina’s Cone Mills, where it’s woven on shuttle looms to produce two unique denims: Selvage and Distilled Indigo.

Both denims features camo pockets and shotgun shell rivets

“A couple of the details that make me the most excited is our fit, which doesn’t have the “denim diaper, extra material that sags beneath your behind,” says Bollman. “Also we we’re fed up with our jeans coming apart at the seat seam, so we’ve reinforced that seam for added strength and durability.

As for what’s next: “More fits, more denim weights, and unique material qualities, plus an up cycling denim program.”

Available now at ballandbuck.com and in store ($188 for Distilled Indigo; $218 for Selvage).

Anoma A1

While Anoma is the new kid on the block, having only released its first watch in June of last year, it's certainly making noise — and now it has another offering, courtesy of its creator, Matteo Violet Vianello.

The first watch — the A1 — made some headlines due to its unique triangular shape, which is quite stylish and interesting. Well, the brand just released its second timepiece, the A1 Slate, and it has a triangular design, too. Think of it as a signature that makes the brand unique.

A gentleman’s guide to the morning suit: The must-know details
Too dressy? Or the next step in vintage wear?
what is a morning suit timothy everest in

If you have ever watched James Bond, The Crown, or Downton Abbey, you will likely have seen the characters wearing some version of an elevated dress code known as morning dress or a morning suit. What this entails is a version of what we call black tie. While Black tie is the second highest dress code level we engage with, it is not usually worn in the day. Morning dress is worn by men at weddings, memorial services, and daytime events in the presence of The King. Perhaps the most famous time it is worn is in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot. But even if you're not a part of the royal family and getting into the Royal Enclosure isn't likely in your future, you can still wear this whenever you want to elevate your style a little higher in any situation.

There are some rules and regulations surrounding a morning suit, but the most obvious one is that it contrasts with evening dress. Where the black tie dress code and the white tie dress code are very conservative and straightforward, the morning dress should be brighter, colorful, and playful. Here is what to keep in mind with each piece.

Song for the Mute x adidas 005 collection

Aptly named “Song for the Mute x adidas 005”, the duo's new collection takes shape as an ode to all things nature. The first of the sneakers involves a remixed version of the Adistar Cushion, which sees uppers composed of a sheer open mesh base with pony hair and suede. The iconic Three Stripes trademark is updated in brushed suede on the inner face, while the outer face sees a satin finish. The outsole has also been upgraded with a worn-out effect miming the unique uppers. Available in three colorways, this sneaker will come in “Black,” “Clay,” and “Olive.”
