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.

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.

Gap reteams with vintage expert for 2025’s vintage boom
The designer and artist, Sean Wotherspoon, returns to Gap
Gap x Sean Wotherspoon

There is a significant boom in the fashion industry right now: reaching back into our sartorial past and finding those garments we loved so we can repurpose them for today. Of course, once you open those floodgates, it seems like everyone is looking for the vintage aesthetic and resuscitating old trends. 80s trends are coming back. 90s trends are resurfacing. And "Grandpa Core" is having a moment. That means that brands are also looking for their moment in the sun by releasing throwbacks. Gap is doing it in a unique way by combining it with the burgeoning resale market. They are teaming up with artist and designer Sean Wotherspoon to drop a new batch of vintage Gap pieces that are perfect for the fashionable person looking for that sartorial diamond in the old, outdated clothing rough. The Gap x Sean Wotherspoon team is running it back.
Perfect timing for the recollab

Business not bullets: Combat Flip Flops looks to change the world with entrepreneurship
Replacing combat with growth and community
Combat Flip Flops hero

Many men and women who serve our country in the United States Military find themselves staring down the barrel (sometimes literally) of some of the worst things the human race is capable of. Of course, most of them return stateside and begin new lives, some desperate to forget the places they left behind and move on with their lives. However, a small group of veterans has begun changing how we see the places our men and women are deployed to by electing to use entrepreneurship to help the people instead of the might of the United States Military. Combat Flip Flops is using business, not bullets, to lift the people left behind by the horrors of war. While the company's name may make you think they only sell flip-flops, it is more about changing the mindset around how to help others, and they offer many men's wardrobe essentials and accessories.
Drop tacos, not bombs

The men who began this company are not simple soldiers; they served on the front lines in Special Operations and saw firsthand what war can do. In an effort to give back in other ways, their scarves are made in a factory in Afghanistan, and other products are made in places like Bogota and Laos—wartorn areas around the world that need the jobs and the support. Their attention isn't solely overseas, either. They know better than anyone the struggles veterans face when they return to a home that no longer looks or feels the same. That is why they support veteran communities and organizations like One More Wave, offering surf gear to wounded vets.

Sports and fashion collide with Perry Ellis and NHL collaboration
Iconic brand meets us at the corner of fashion and sports
Perry Ellis x NHL black suit

Whether it is LeBron James, Cam Newton, or any other athlete walking into the arena or to the gridiron, we love the pregame fit. Athletes have long driven the fashion of the millions of people making up their fanbase. That is why brands have always wanted them to be ambassadors to the community. That is why it makes sense that a brand as well-known as Perry Ellis is finding their way into the sports community. Now, they have deepened their roots in the community not by partnering with an athlete but with an entire league. The Perry Ellis x NHL partnership has now been solidified.

“As a brand, we’re increasingly finding ourselves drawn to the incredible communities in sport,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, President and CEO of Perry Ellis International, Inc. “After years of reimagining our modern, All-American style and finding success in other sports partnerships, we are thrilled to be teaming up with the NHL and NHLPA to continue demonstrating how fashion is driving a cultural movement within the sports community.”
