Rande Gerber Designed The Only Sweatpants You Need for Winter 2022

Every man needs a good pair of sweatpants for the winter. Who better to design the perfect pair than Rande Gerber, Founder of Casamigos Tequila and husband to the iconic supermodel Cindy Crawford.

Gerber paired up with Bleusalt, a California-based line of sustainable and elevated basics, to engineer “The Casa Pant.” While Bleusalt’s line is always season-less, we can’t help but feel especially giddy The Casa Pant launched in time for sweatpants season. There’s even a gray colorway— nudge, nudge.

What makes The Casa Pant so perfect is that it’s designed for multi-purpose use — and we’re not talking moving from the couch to the kitchen. This is an ultra-comfortable sweat that you won’t need to change out of when leaving the house. Better yet, the fabric is sustainable. Bleusalt used an ultra-soft fabric that is 100% sustainable and antimicrobial, derived from the beech tree. The natural fibers are 95% beechwood, 5% Spandex, breathable and machine washable (cha-ching). Plus, all Bleusalt products are all made in the USA. The Casa Pant ($185) is sold exclusively on Bleusalt.com in black, navy, and dark gray colorways.

Basically, our prayers have been answered.

The Manual sat down with Gerber to talk about the ultra-comfortable and ultra-cool design and why it’s finally acceptable to leave the house wearing sweatpants.

The Manual: Why call them “The Casa Pant?” Are they strictly for staying in the casa?

Rande Gerber: It was a nod to Casamigos as well as being the house pant you can leave home in.

TM: How do you go from designing tequila to sweats — two of our favorite things.

RG: I’ve always been interested in all types of design. Whether it’s architecture, furniture, clothing, or my Casamigos bottles. I guess I’m kind of a design junkie. My knowledge and background in tequila were learned by always wanting the best and never settling for anything less.

TM: So it’s official: Men can leave the house in sweats and look good?

RG: I designed my pant to be more fitted so they don’t look like your typical baggy sweatpants, and I added a little more material where necessary so you can go out in them.

TM: How’d the collab come about with Bleusalt?

RG: We’ve known Lyndie for a long time and knew that the quality was going to be beautiful and comfortable. I enjoy collaborating with brands like Bleusalt that are local and have a strong design vision behind it. For The Casa Pant, I was jealous that Cindy and Kaia [as in Cyndy Crawford and their daughter and now it-girl model Kaia Gerber] got to design their own so I asked Lyndie if I could, and fortunately, she said yes.

TM: What’s the perfect setting to throw on The Casa Pant?

RG: I wanted to design a pant that was super comfortable, that I didn’t have to change out of when I left the house. The Casa Pant is perfect for both.

TM: Give us a full outfit; what pairs with The Casa?

RG: My sense of style is mostly casual, at times elegant but always casual elegance. My go-to outfit with this pant is a T-shirt, polo or sweatshirt, and sneakers.

If there’s one common feature of Filson and Birkenstock, it’s their mission to create designs based on quality and versatility. With this purpose in mind, these two brands have decided to join forces to create the ultimate collection built on craftsmanship and style. Based on classic Birkenstock designs and carrying Filson’s stamp of quality construction, these four new footwear options are essential for anyone seeking high-quality shoes. From the classic Birkenstock London style to cozy boots, there’s something for everyone in this collection. 
The Filson x Birkenstock collection

Available in one colorway, the Filson x Birkenstock Skykomish boot is all about using the highest quality materials and construction. This design uses Filson’s waxed cotton Tin Cloth, a cleated outsole, and Birkenstock’s famed footbed.  Birkenstock’s Deep Blue footbed has a four-layer support for shock absorption and maximum comfort. The boot’s uppers are made with oiled nubuck leather and Filson’s signature oil-finish Tin Cloth mixture for further weather protection. With an anatomically shaped toe box and plenty of support in the midsole, this boot is ready for an all-terrain adventure.

Wax London keeps you stylish even at home
English-based brand debuts first loungewear
Wax London Loungewear top

We love the opportunity to get out into the world and experience all it offers. We love seeing new things, trying new things, and learning new things. And, then, there are some days when we would instead order the most unhealthy things we can find on Uber Eats, turn on a comfort show on Netflix, and get reacquainted with our favorite show. Having a lazy day is an underrated luxury we love to experience, but that doesn't mean we must sacrifice style. Sure, we can just lay around in dirty sweats and be completely useless all day. Or we can still find ways to capture our style and feel good about ourselves even at home. That is where Wax London comes in with the launch of their newest project.
The release of their debut loungewear

Wax London is particularly known for its stylish overshirts, which keep you effortlessly warm (and cool at the same time) on your outings. They are loved by celebrities like Bradley Cooper and are top-notch in the overshirt category. So, it is no surprise they branched out to cover the indoor need for effortless warmth and style. The new collection gives us the Ripley Shirt and Hutton Trousers, each in four designs in matching sets. The patterns offered are striking black paisley as the most unique and three more classic loungewear looks in a wide stripe, a royal stewart plaid, and a dark solid. Each of these offers comfort and style to your day at home.

NOBULL prepares you for the elements with new collection
CrossFit brand develops weather resistant collection
nobull allday elements

CrossFit is a fitness trend that has swept through the nation and caused massive levels of debate and weight loss. Whether you are a believer in the benefits of CrossFit or someone who believes it is a sham, there is no arguing that there are people who have turned their entire lives around to become the fittest they have ever been by dedicating themselves (sometimes accused of being obsessed or fanatical about it) to the functional-based fitness routine. One of the brands that emerged from the rising fitness focus is NOBULL. While they were most well-known for their shoes explicitly made to handle the specific movements of a CrossFit workout, they grew into a full-fledged fitness brand and are one of the names you see all over the gyms, websites, and even the CrossFit games. Now, the NOBULL Allday Elements line takes the workout regimen to a new location.
Getting CrossFit outside

One aspect of CrossFit that has been there since the beginning is that the circuit-based regimen is primarily done indoors. While that makes it easy to do the weight work and the rope climbs, getting CrossFit outside may be the next significant evolution of the particular brand of fitness. NOBULL is preparing its ranks for that eventuality with NOBULL Allday Elements, a new line featuring durable materials for comfort and cooler weather with water-repellant technology. CrossFit never had to worry about the rain while doing the exercises inside, but now they have the ability to get outside and create all new reasons to love the sport and the brand.
