For over a decade, men have been introduced to small brands with big ideas thanks to Bespoke Post. From the moment the company started, it became clear there was a need to fulfill the desires of men around the country without forcing them to do all the shopping themselves. Everything from bench knives and whiskey tumblers to weekender bags and tools showed up in a man’s mailbox once a month. All it took was completing a quiz to give the group an idea of a man’s interests and, presto, curated awesomeness to improve his life. But they weren’t finished. Instead, they went a little further, and Line of Trade was born to give men the perfect place to go for Americana-inspired menswear.

Knowing what makes small brands work

The team behind Bespoke Post came up with Line of Trade to fill another man’s desire, heritage Americana with high quality and timeless style in their closets. Sure, you could find it in big fashion houses for $200 sweaters and $500 coats that imitate American heritage, or you can go for authentic American heritage for less than half that price and twice the style and quality. The character behind the garments is simple, whether you want to wear it on the job or on the town, it fits in and looks great. Not to mention lasting as long as you need it to. Some of the best sellers include the Waxed Ranch Jacket and the Montana Fleece-lined Corduroy Trucker Jacket, but the first thing you should pick up for your closet to introduce yourself to the brand is the Frank shirt, with its waffle texture it will stand out among anything you or anyone else has.

Elevate your NYE style with these expert-approved tips from Perry Ellis
Take advice from one of the best in the business to rock your NYE party

The new year is right around the corner, which means you're likely stressing about what to wear to your event. The truth is that many people go to these NYE parties without realizing there is an etiquette. Some of them are come-as-you-are, and you can get away with wearing your sweater and jeans while drinking in the New Year. Others are more elevated, and you should be leveling up to toast the departing year with a little more of The Great Gatsby and a little less of Of Mice and Men.

I know it can be a bit stressful, so The Manual reached out to Michael Millie, the creative director of Perry Ellis to get his insight on how to dress for a New Year's Eve event. Here's what advice he has for anyone wanting to level up to Perry Ellis New Year's Eve outfits.
Why is dressing for a New Year's Eve party different than any other event?

Adidas wants to get you ready for the Boston Marathon
Train in functional style with this set developed for the marathon
Adidas Boston Marathon

The Boston Marathon has been a staple in the Northeast for over a century and a quarter. Bringing people from all over the world to run the 26.2 miles along a handful of neighborhoods in the greater Boston area every third Monday in April, known as Patriots Day. While it is one of the most coveted races, it isn't about winning (Ethiopian Sisay Lemma and Kenyan Hellen Obiri, last year's winners, would argue that point); it is mostly about getting together and accomplishing something you never thought possible. This year, Adidas wants you to be prepared in the best way you can be with a new set made specifically for the marathon. The Adidas Boston Marathon Collection is now available, which is the perfect timing for you to start training for the marathon.
Made from recycled materials

Many people will be asking for donations leading up to the big race day. They will run for causes, be it cancer or hunger or any of a dozen causes and organizations they want to use the marathon as their megaphone for. Adidas is setting their goal of running for the planet by making this set out of 70% recycled material, limiting the impact this has on our Earth, and making sure that our grandchildren get to run in the race as well. People have been running in this race since 1897, and now that this set exists, maybe you can set a record or at least catch Sisay and Hellen.

Dandy Del Mar drops new popular sold out favorite
Relax in style with Dandy Del Mar's popular Cannes Robe
Dandy Del Mar Cannes Robe open

We don't know if it is just because the holiday season just ended or if we are still in the end-of-the-year transition phase where we are trying to figure out if any problem at work is a 2024 problem or a 2025 problem, but all we can think about is sitting around and lounging in our houses, watching movies or reading. Luckily for us, there are tons of great loungewear options from which to choose. Dandy Del Mar has reinvented the concept of loungewear for us. Their resort-style and 70s retro vibe have been on our mind all year long, and when we went for some new lounge gear, we were disheartened to find that their popular Cannes Robes were all sold out. But as if they read our minds, the brand dropped another. The Dandy Del Mar Cannes Robe is back with a new color and an even more perfect lounge feel.
New color for the drop

What makes the Cannes Robe so popular is the waffle knit texture. It gives it depth and style that you don't often find in a robe. Sure, you can go with the plush terrycloth robe options if you want to wear something bulky and oppressively hot. Or you can go with the luxurious silk robe if you want to feel light and movable. But why do either of those when you can get the best of both worlds? The browns are perfect for the DDM style and if you really want some resort classiness, pair it with a Cannes shorts and polo set for around the house this winter.
