New Year’s Eve is one of the events we look forward to every year. Whether you are going to Times Square, celebrating at a big watch party to see the festivities on the big screen with an open bar, or sitting at home and letting the kids stay awake until midnight for the only time of the year, it’s a big day for everyone. When you are shaking off the bad things that happened in 2024, reminiscing about the good things that took place this year, and planning what you want to accomplish in 2025, your party is a big moment, and what you wear is just as significant. If you are like us, you love dressing up in something a little louder and having a little more fun with a great cocktail look. One brand has hit the nail on the head this year for the best jacket for your NYE party. The J. McLaughlin McCown Sport Coat is the unique look that will make you the center of attention as you ring in the new year.

What makes a great sport coat for New Year’s? For us, it is something unique that stands out. The J. McLaughlin McCown Sport Coat does this by combining two of the excellent sport coat looks of the season. Paisley is a great way to stand out with your smoking jacket, dinner jacket, or unique sport coat. And corduroy is a staple in the fall and winter seasons. This sport coat combines them both with a corduroy fabric blessed with a subtle but vibrant paisley pattern. This is the best coat to ring in the new year.

Max Verstappen of the Red Bull racing team grabbed his fourth Formula 1 world championship this weekend in the still relatively new venue of Las Vegas. Verstappen joined Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Alain Prost, and Juan Manuel Fangio as the sixth driver to win four world championships, making him one of the most legendary drivers the sport has seen. That isn't the only legend that showed out in Vegas, as Abercrombie & Fitch x McLaren joined forces to celebrate the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The celebration included appearances by McLaren Racing Drivers Oscar Piastri and Bianca Bustamante (who have accumulated four wins between them), exclusive Abercrombie & Fitch McLaren Formula 1 Team Merchandise, specialty cocktails, and a performance by Los Angeles DJ Veggi.
Legendary racing team gets support from iconic brand

Abercrombie & Fitch and McLaren came together to celebrate the Vegas Grand Prix Formula 1 weekend with a one-of-a-kind meet-and-greet with professional drivers on the McLaren Racing team: Oscar Piastri and Bianca Bustamante. On Tuesday, November 19th, the drivers spent two hours pressing the flesh with fans and shoppers at the Abercrombie & Fitch Fashion Show Mall store. The brand is no stranger to Formula 1 collaborations, so this match was made in Heaven. If you missed the event, it is likely these two will come together again next time for another opportunity. In the meantime, check out Abercrombie & Fitch's McLaren collection to tide you over. Our favorite pieces are the Harrington Jacket and the Varsity Bomber Jacket, and the graphic tees are perfect for a weekend on the strip.

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.
