By

Here’s a tip, find some time this weekend and head over to your local Gap.

The classic American brand, best known for its jeans and relaxed style, has teamed up with some of the most talented emerging designers in menswear.  For a limited time, Gap will feature exclusive collections designed by GQ’s four Best New Menswear Designers in America 2013 – Aviator Nation, Baldwin, Bespoken, and Ernest Alexander.  Each designer was tasked with developing a capsule collection that brings their own signature style to iconic Gap pieces.  Translation: cool designer duds at crazy good prices.

“We wanted to do something that still felt very us but in an accessible and not too serious way – refined, approachable and all-American,” Ernest Sabine, founder of Ernest Alexander, told us at the GQxGap launch event in New York City.

You can expect to find menswear with a mix of rock-and-roll meets Saville Row from NYC based Bespoken and laid back surf-inspired gear from California label Aviator Nation.  Ernest Alexander will showcase his rugged yet refined handcrafted goods, while Baldwin delivers modern denim wear from the heart of Kansas City.

Standout pieces include the Bespoken suede baseball jacket and the Aviator Nation reversible puffer vest.  Plus, you won’t want to miss out on any of the Ernest Alexander bags.

With prices ranging from $30-$348 for accessories to outerwear, make sure to check out the select Gap retailers carrying the collection or head over to gap.com before supplies sells out.

Super Seville is back: Bulova’s Michael Benavente on the new, but classic design
Bulova Men's Super Seville watch worn on wrist

The first watches appeared in 16th-century Europe, having evolved from spring-driven clocks, which were popular in the 15th century. These early designs were more portable than their predecessors, but they weren't close to the wrist-worn devices we love and use today. Since then, the average watch has gone through many iterations, including the "quartz crisis" in the 1980s when quartz watches became incredibly popular. But beautiful, timeless designs were around long before then. Bulova's first watch debuted in the 1920s to commemorate the first trans-Atlantic flight, made in 1927 by Charles Lindbergh. That original watch was called the Lone Eagle.

Why you should shop these Levi's early Prime Day deals now and not wait
Let's start with why you should shop these deals so early. After all, Prime Day doesn't officially kick off until next week, right? Indeed, but in recent years, the deals haven't been much better during the main event, especially on apparel and clothing, name-brand stuff included. These Levi's deals are likely as close to the lowest they'll get, and even if they're not, there's plenty of opportunity to capitalize on all of the best offers.
