EFM Engineered For Motion – From Bike to Boardroom

By

When the holidays hit us each year, we’re on the go from, planes, trains and automobiles. But what about bikes, skateboards, or snowboards? EFM Engineered For Motion, a radically engineered new menswear brand, understands the way we live.

EFM’s designer, Donrad Duncan, is the former principal designer and concept creator of Victorinox/Swiss Army Apparel. With Duncan’s point of view of dressing the urban nomad, his first collection for fall 2014, brings together the items everyman needs. Such as:

  • A classic blue blazer that can fit in the smallest of pocket of your carry-on
  • Chinos that stretch, but still look like selvedge
  • Outerwear with magnetic closures and reflective tape

Donrad understands the engineering and fabrics to make a man’s life better. This combination of how new tech fabrics move, what they weigh, and his tech/tailored vision works well with our busy schedules.

Inspired by the Italian sportswear industry of the 1980’s, and their purist approach in menswear, Donrad collaborates with Trinovation Lab in China, dedicated to the continuous research, experimentation and application of a new generation of manufacturing techniques.

Some of the outerwear pieces from Ducan’s premiere collection, use a lofty wool/nylon that has a comfortable stretch with the feel of cashmere. These are paired with other styles that are constructed of extremely lightweight translucent nylon, which is ideal for packing in luggage or a messenger bag. You’re welcome.

Ben Sherman gets help from Denny McCarthy for new golf drop
New Golf Drop won't improve your putting game, but you'll look better
Denny McCarthy in Ben Sherman Golf

Ben Sherman became one of the premiere shirtmakers in the men's style industry when they launched his first button-down after watching jazz musicians rock the button-down shirts. When the Mod Movement moved through London and eventually the rest of the UK, men began dressing smartly in tailored suits, skinny ties and lapels, and pointed shoes. Men would spend more on the Chelsea boots of the Swinging Sixties and the collared shirt, making Ben Sherman a mainstay in their closet. Now, the brand spans the spectrum of men's style and has launched a golf line that offers style and comfort. The Ben Sherman Golf Collection, endorsed by Denny McCarthy, is a stellar continuation of the line but with only one setback.
Won't make you a better putter, but it'll make you look like one

Denny McCarthy is one of the best putters in the world. On the PGA Tour, he averaged twenty-three puts in a round, five fewer than the average golfer on the tour. He is the guy you go to watch if your putting game is as bad as ours. He is also one of the tour's better-styled golfers, as the spectrum spans from Tiger Woods and his basic colors to John Daly with his "just rolled out of bed and still smoking his morning cigarette" look. McCarthy is a guy who found the middle ground with attractive looks and colorful options without going overboard. His endorsement of the Ben Sherman Golf Collection gives you the guidance you need to look like Denny on the course. While Ben Sherman can't make you one of the greatest putters in the world, they can at least help you look like one.

Tua Tagovailoa in a Perry Ellis Suit

Perry Ellis was a pioneer in the fashion industry. He never seemed to want to do things the way everyone else did. He was the kind of man who was always forward-thinking and wanted fashion to be fun, not just stylish. His brand continues to be on the cutting edge of fashion, always making statements you can carry in your daily wardrobe. The brand does it again with another Perry Ellis x Tua Tagovailoa collaboration that blends the superstar quarterback's elevated fashion sense with his roots in Hawaii.

"I don't make fashion -- I make clothes," the late designer once said. "The clothes cross all the points of my personal lifestyle. They're to wear in the city or the country, to work, or to go out." The sentiment rings true still today with the new collection with Tua, who finds the same cross point with his style and his heritage.
