Combatant Gentlemen, the e-retailer who has helped men dress impeccably well without destroying wallets, has expanded from the land of the internet into a real live store in Los Angeles. With this brick and mortar location, they’ve managed to make it even easier to dress well, so men, (Angelenos especially,) no more excuses.combat gent los angeles store

We’ve talked about Combatant Gentlemen and their amazing new shoe line  a number of times and here we go again because they continue to be awesome. Part of what makes their clothes and shoes so affordable, while still being of high quality, is that they control all aspects of production. No middlemen, just their own flocks of sheep (among other things). Fit Tech, their revolutionary sizing technology, has allowed men to shop online with surprising sizing accuracy, though they always suggest a little perfecting tailoring. Now you can have this same experience immediately in the store. No more sitting around waiting for your gorgeous clothes to arrive.

The company’s flagship store is a 2,200 square foot location in Santa Monica. Aesthetically, it reflects the Combatant Gentleman it serves: strong steel beams polished by sophisticated woods and clean classic lines. It’s almost like you’re hanging out at your effortlessly cool friend’s loft apartment and he just happens to have a lot of clothes that will fit you.

In keeping with their technological roots, you have the option of using touchscreen stations to shop their made-to-order option. Clients can book appointments for custom pieces, too. Additionally, the store has tailoring services to perfect your new threads.

Realizing shopping can be overwhelming, Combatant Gentlemen’s in-store stylists are there to help find you the pieces that suit your life, sense of style, body, and in true Combatant Gentlemen style, your budget.

“Suits can be really intimidating,” says Kevin Campos, the Chief Retail Officer. “A lot of guys don’t know their sizes, what lapels are, or differences between fits. We want to create inviting and aspirational spaces–a no-pressure zone where our guys belong, regardless of where they come from.”made-to-wear style books in combatant gentlemen store

Did we mention you get all this swankiness and service with zero retail markup? You’re still looking at only $160 for a suit that makes you look like you paid at least double that. And $200 gets you a tuxedo worthy of any James Bond.

This store is likely to be followed by several other retail locations. Combatant Gentlemen is notorious for listening intently to what their customers want and that, undoubtedly includes more instant access to their knowledgeable staff and classic clothes.

With Combatant Gentlemen’s new store, men might’ve officially run out of excuses to not look sharp as hell.

Taylor Stitch proves that Made in America is still popular
International production may be popular but Made in America is selling out
Taylor Stitch Made in USA jacket

Many clothing brands make a decision at some point during the scale-up phase to ship manufacturing jobs overseas in an effort to increase their profits. That, in turn, increases the value of their stocks, and the growth just skyrockets from there. However, that means jobs go away and, in a lot of ways, means the quality suffers a little. That is why garments that are made in America just feel different. They feel stronger and more durable and let you take a feeling of pride in what you wear. That is why Taylor Stitch put together a collection of items Made in America that embody the spirit of home while making you look and feel great. But before you run over to the site and grab up all you can, you need to know one thing about the Taylor Stitch Made in America collection.
Items are flying off the shelves

The three most significant and most popular items in the collection are a collaboration with San Francisco legend Golden Bear Sportswear, the Golden Bear Snap Bomber, which balances vintage curb appeal with heirloom quality construction to earn its place as the go-to statement piece in your wardrobe. While it still has limited sizes available, the the Camp Pant in Rigid Indigo Sashiko and Mill Shirt Jacket in Rigid Indigo Sashiko are completely sold out. What does that tell us? Other than Taylor Stitch makes excellent quality homemade products, the people love them. We will keep our eye on those in hopes that they come back. Partly for you and partly because we want to get our hands on them as well.

Dr. Martens releases new collaboration

Although Dr. Martens has built its legacy as a go-to for boots, it’s hardly been considered rugged material- until now. With their latest collaboration with thisisneverthat, Dr. Martens is taking its classic styles and giving it a tough upgrade. Donning a new look each, these are far from the fresh and sleek new boots you’ve grown accustomed to. These new workwear boots are made to be worn out, give your footwear a unique story, and maximize use. Using iconic details from both brands, the latest workwear boots will add style to your everyday looks.

Banana Republic taps The White Lotus star for SS25 campaign
Nicholas Duvernay is a model for the first time
Banana Republic

Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn't a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

"Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles," says Nicholas Duvernay. "The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic."
