The site has everything you need for your next tailgate, and then some. Stock up for gameday with a durable, portable growler, football-inspired leather coasters, a tough-as-nails watch and more pieces that are fit for cheering on the home team, hitting the road or hosting a tailgate. You’ll look forward to the weekend even more now.

What better way to welcome football season than with coasters made from real football leather? These things are durable, stylish, and quite cool — a definite upgrade over whatever coasters you might have had on hand previously. Plus, they’ll work for either pro or college games. Not bad, yeah? Oh, and the rest of the the gear you can snag from Owen & Fred is just as essential.

Huckberry Explorer’s Cap [$39.98]

Who doesn’t love a great menswear style upgrade? Supporting your team can be great, but wearing an athletic logo cap isn’t for everybody. And if you want to stand out subtly but stylishly, this refined ballcap is a nice way to do so. Consider it the grown-up replacement for your beloved college ballcap — unless you just can’t part with that one?

The days of drinking cheap beer at your tailgate are over — or at least, they should  be. The Growler Werks 64oz. uKeg is made from stainless steel and stores up to a half-gallon of beer — that’s a lot of home brew. It’s double-walled, vacuum-insulated and even features the option to change out the tap handles. Not a bad deal for under $150.

While things like stylish coasters and a great hat are nice to bring to your tailgate, your food selection is really what it’s all about. Add a heck of a kick and a whole lot of flavor to dishes with a neat, delicious version of (nearly) everyone’s favorite hot sauce. The fact that you can pick it up alongside some durable Huckberry chukka sneakers is just an added bonus.

A durable, sharp and stylish casual watch is practically an essential you should have on you at all times. And luckily for us watch lovers, the Huckberry Combat B33 GMT is tough enough to stand up to manning the grill at your tailgate, and refined enough to look a lot better than other watches at the ballgame. No need to worry about spilling on this guy — the gunmetal PVD coating and durable 43mm stainless steel case can take it.

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
models starting at dr martens in midair

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."
