Hockerty is one of the go-to menswear spots to get your own personalized and unique pieces. They embody an ethos that allows you to break out of the boxes the fashion industry has forced into you for too long. Instead of keeping up with the trends of an industry that doesn’t even know you exist and trying to make what others love look good on you, they want to dress the real you by offering custom clothing. With them, you get to have the high-quality garments you love that look great and make you feel great. While fashion forces you into popular looks, style allows you to radiate in your look. That doesn’t mean that Hockerty doesn’t offer ideas and direction, which is what their 2024 lookbook does. The Hockerty Fall and Winter 2024 collection, Barcelona, gets a part two, and it embodies everything we love about our own belief that fashion is what you wear and style is how you wear it.

A fresh take on iconic style

Iconic menswear staples like field jackets, chinos, and straight-leg trousers are reimagined with a dynamic twist, balancing timeless tones like grays, blues, and browns with bold accents like cinnamon red and smoky pink. A curated layering selection revives mid-century charm (perfect for swapping your cold outdoor layers with warm indoor layers) using Oxford stripes and relaxed cotton polos that fit Don Draper to a T. At the same time, lightweight jackets with utility pockets lend a refined yet practical touch to your after-work drinks or weekend outings. The standouts of the collection are, without a doubt, the reddish brown three-piece suit, the navy velvet suit, and we couldn’t overlook the red military jacket.

Wrangler adds two more fits to its selvedge capsule

Wrangler selvedge now available in original and slim

Wrangler Cone White Selvedge shirt and jeans

One of the common phrases you may hear in the fashion world is selvedge denim. While that may not mean a lot to you when you first start hearing the term, it is hugely popular with those denim heads who love a good pair of jeans. It essentially means that there are no unfinished edges on the jeans that can fray. All seams, even on the inside, are finished. If you notice a good pair of selvedge jeans, they are almost always worn turned up at the ankle so you can see the finished seams. They are of higher quality and harder to produce, so, therefore, they are definitely something to show off. Last month, Wrangler dropped a new selvedge line with a denim jacket and jean made from the remainder of the denim loomed at the Cone Mills White Oak plant. They have now added two new fits to the Wrangler Selvedge line.
Now in an original and slim fit

The original fit, known in Wrangler speak as the Cowboy Cuts, is a mid-rise design with a regular fit through the thigh and a slim through-the-leg opening. The slim-fit straights are lower on the waist, with a slim fit through the thigh and a straight leg that’ll still fit over your favorite pair of boots. They both feature all the heritage details, including our signature five-pocket styling, ‘W’ embroidery on the pocket, and the dark indigo color perfect for your favorite Western look. Here is some advice from us: Get a pair about an inch longer than your usual jeans to roll them up and show off the selvedge seam.

Man in black suit

If you are reading this article, then our first words to you are, we're sorry for your loss—our condolences to you and your family. Now, having said that you are likely here because you have the unfortunate reality of attending a funeral coming up, and you are trying to navigate what you are allowed to wear and what is a no-go. While conventional wisdom tells you that you should be wearing nothing but a black suit, the world has changed a little, and there may be some ways you can maneuver around the black suit rule if you don't have time to pick one up.

Funeral attire for men has been the same for as long as we can remember, so if you have time to pick up a suit, you absolutely should. But, if not, we can help you navigate the dress code and pay your respects correctly. Starting with the first question, everyone asks.

Twenty year skiing legend creates alpine gear fit for special forces

OR and skiing legend come together for the perfect alpine set

Outdoor Research athlete Mark Abma

Outdoor Research has been a trusted source for alpine gear since it burst on the stage in the early eighties. When Ron Gregg, a nuclear physicist, grew frustrated with the lack of dependable gear for the harsh environments, he dedicated his life to improving the industry for others. If anyone can figure out how, it is a nuclear physicist, right? Over four decades later and we are looking at one of the most technologically advanced alpine sets to hit the market. The Outdoor Research x Mark Abma set is not only perfect for any skier, climber, or outdoor enthusiast but it is also developed with United States Special Forces in mind, even giving them their own exclusive colorway.
Stealth good enough for special forces soldiers

The Skitour Ascentshell Collection consists of a jacket with the brand's air-permeable electrospun AscentShell Air 3L material, which offers unparalleled breathability without sacrificing durability, and a pant with a hybrid-mapped construction. The jacket features a bluesign-approved softshell bib upper for unrestricted movement and a fully waterproof AscentShell Air 3L lower for comfort and protection in challenging conditions.
