In you opt for the Back to School Bundle, you can select one top (t-shirt or long-sleeve shirt), one pair of bottoms (shorts or pants), and one pair of socks, then enter the code “BUNDLE” for an advantageous deal.

Haspel — up to 50% offhaspel

We’re big fans of Haspel at The Manual — particularly their iconic seersucker suits. Right now they’re in the midst of a summer clearance sale, with a 50% price cut on many of their long-sleeve shirts, short-sleeve shirts, and shorts. They also offer reasonable prices for their legendary seersucker pants and jackets. Buying excellent summerwear from Haspel now is a great way to save up for next summer. Many of their discount clothes work just fine for fall and winter, too.  

Rogue Territory Jeans — up to 30% offrogue territory

Once fall rolls around, you’ll start seeing jeans a lot more. In anticipation of jean season, Rogue Territory has cut prices by up to 30%. Among the jeans for sale are their Graphite Wash and Greyscale Wash pairs. If you’re more of a blue jeans fella, you might go for the fine-looking Desert Wash jeans. Based in Los Angeles, Rogue Territory is known for making high-quality, hand-crafted jeans. If you need a good new pair of jeans in your wardrobe, now is a good time to jump.

Mr. Elk — up to 40% offelk

Elk is an Australian-based company, which means their summer sales are really more like winter sales. Regardless of hemispherical differences, Elk is cutting prices on their products by as much as 40%. Mr. Elk, the menswear branch of the company, is offering great deals on pajamas, bags, wallets, and cufflinks. We like Elk because they work closely with UNICEF and GO GREEN — and we’re all about businesses that are trying to make a positive impact in the world.

Municipal opens new flagship store in San Diego

Municipal Store Opening

Mark Wahlberg has been one of Hollywood's most prominent and sought-after actors since he made waves in Boogie Nights. Since then, he has led comedies like Ted and The Other Guys and dramas like Four Brothers and The Departed. But he has been best known for being one of the top action stars in the business. From The Italian Job and Shooter to Lone Survivor and Mile 22, Wahlberg has proven himself to be one of the most capable in the game. A vital part of doing the job of an action star is getting in sensational shape. Now that he is seen as an incredibly fit leading man, he began helping others get in the same shape by launching a fitness brand. The new Municipal Flagship Store has a new home in San Diego and is bringing action star fitness to America's Finest City.
Bet on yourself

When Mark Wahlberg founded the brand in 2019 alongside Harry Arnett and Stephen Levinson, they brought fitness to the people of West Hollywood and globally online. The goal of Municipal has always been to offer the best clothing and shoes to people trying to be unstoppable all day long. The second store opening in Oceanside is bringing that goal to the southern part of the state along the beach. The store isn't just about clothing, shoes, and accessories. The new store will also feature a coffee shop for a post-workout pick-me-up, a haircut to ensure you look just as good above the neck as below, and a lounge to center yourself before and after the workout. With two stores under their belt, it is only a matter of time before they expand over more of the country.

There is a deep connection between country music lovers and other staples, like a good flannel, hats, tees, and the flag and national anthem. So when a country music star teams up with Flag & Anthem, it gets noticed. But most of the time, these collaborations are one-offs that fade out in a few months or a season. But the Flag & Anthem Desert Son collection with Dierks Bentley is still going strong six years later.

“Dierks’ lifestyle perfectly embodies our brand,” said Flag & Anthem co-founder Brad Gartman. “There is a strong synergy between his fans and our customers. We see Dierks and Desert Son as a natural integration with Flag & Anthem and look forward to a long partnership.” And a long partnership is what they got.
