American Trench brings quintessential London to American Shores

London style made in America

London is one of the hubs for men’s style. The bespoke shops of Savile Row are forever the home of the best suits you could ever get your hands on. You can look to the region for the caliber or attire James Bond wears—the elevated suits and shoes sported by Kingsman. You can trace many of our favorite styles back to the seat of the British Empire over the years. Maybe one of the most famous is the Chelsea boot. There is no mystery why some people will visit London and come back with inspiration. That is how Jacob Hurwitz came up with the idea for American Trench. Starting with the classic trench coat and expanding, his company is one of the premier destinations for British style, with the added bonus of being domestically manufactured. The American Trench Fall and Winter collection drops in the second half with more American-made brilliance.

British style. American manufacturing.

American Trench Shirt and Trousers

There are three words we always love when we go shopping for clothing: Made in America. Sometimes, finding something like a stellar overcoat, a great sweater, or Donegal trousers with a British feel is challenging if you want something from our shores. The Commuter Collection brings all of those with stellar style and fulfills the domestic requirements. The standouts to elevate your new English-inspired look are the Herringbone Tweed Blazer, the Highlander Balmacaan belted overcoat, and the Chester Rollneck Sweater. If you want the best way to update your wardrobe this winter, get a little hint of England.

Ledbury goes fishing with first tech shirt in tandem with Current Culture
Get out of the board room and on the water with Ledburry
Current Culture x Ledbury fisherman

There are two ways to start a morning that most men experience. One is the daily grind. The moment you enter your office with all you need to accomplish for the day laid out in front of you, waiting for you to get to it. It can get monotonous; sometimes, even the shirt you're wearing can make the difference. Being excited to wear an elevated but comfortable custom shirt is what Ledburry adds to your day so you can get things done. But then there is that other day when you wake up before dawn, pack your truck, and head to the banks of the river, eager to wet your line and wait for the day's catch. It isn't about the fish; it is about reconnecting with nature and purging the stress of the grind from your soul. Luckily, that doesn't mean you have to lose the elevated but comfortable custom shirt. The Ledbury x Current Culture Tulu shirt is set up to be your new favorite tech shirt.
Getting you connected with the water

This is Ledbury's first tech shirt designed specifically for fishing, so they tested it out with guides from Current Culture in the streams of Virginia. It has two velcro chest pockets, side vents because you can rarely predict the weather in Virginia, and even a hidden cloth to keep your glasses clean. It is also made from 100% recycled polyester, so you can look and feel good while knowing that you are leaving the streams for those who follow us. A bonus is the custom sizing works the same as any other Ledbury shirt, so you know it will fit just as well and add function to the fashion.

Orlebar Brown celebrates a half century of style with James Bond collection
Get curated looks inspired by Bond and his villains
Orlebar Brown Bond black zip

There is no more stylish fictional character than James Bond. From the moment we first laid eyes on Sean Connery in the early sixties until the last time we witnessed the spectacle of Daniel Craig portray the iconic superspy, we have all emulated his looks and do our best to put our own twists on the icon. You can look to Sean Connery's run on the character and pull the swimsuit coverup from Goldfinger. You can reinvent the safari look like Roger Moore did when he picked up the Walther PPK. Or you can go regal and dignified with the suits and formal wear like Pierce Brosnan did. There are numerous ways to look like James Bond, but Orelbar Brown is covering the resort wear side to make it even easier. The Orlebar Brown 007 Collection launched this month to celebrate over a century of style with everyone's favorite spy.
50 years of The Man with the Golden Gun and 60 with Goldfinger

No Orelbar Brown James Bond lookbook would be complete without picking up the recreation of the iconic Goldfinger cover-up. The blue onesie is still one of Bond's most classic looks, and thanks to the return of vintage style, it is more relevant today than it has been in decades. You can also pick up swimwear inspired by Connery's glen plaid suit, Scaramanga's sweat suit, the tiger stripe swim set, and a safari shirt that screams resort casual. There is something for everyone in this collection that primarily takes its inspiration from Goldfinger (arguably Sean Connery's best turn as Bond) and The Man with the Golden Gun (arguably Roger Moore's best turn as 007).

Ariat teams with rodeo legend for true cowboy collection
Trevor Brazile knows cowboying, and wants to help you become one
Ariat Relentless

Ariat is a big name in western wear. They are one of the biggest. From stellar boots and jeans to attractive and functional shirts and outerwear, they have always been one of the go-to brands for everything cowboys need. With the National Finals Rodeo about to kick off in Las Vegas, you will likely see Ariat everywhere, and even more likely, you will see their collection with 26-time world champion Trevor Brazile. The collection, Ariat Relentless, is one of the most stylistically functional lines a cowboy has seen.

“I've been a big part of everything I’ve done with Ariat,” Trevor explains. “The team is truly interested in moving cowboys’ and cowgirls’ lives forward, and they've been at the forefront of innovation for so long, and that’s what drew me in. On their own, technology and tradition are not enough. But Ariat puts those two together with everyday use, which has made this collection real.”
