When it comes to wool and leather, it doesn’t get much better than Pennsylvania’s very own Woolrich clothing and boots. Despite what you might think, those aren’t just heavy materials for the winter, and Woolrich is setting out to prove that with a spring and summer collection that’s light in both weight and color.

Woolrich is known for their comfortable and versatile clothing collections, built for everything from the great outdoors to the office, and this year’s collection is no exception. With a focus on exploration and new experiences, their fresh flannel shirts will take you straight from work to your campsite without stopping at home.

Of course, you’re here to read about shoes, and that’s an area where Woolrich won’t let you down. One of the highlights of the collection is the Lane Chukka Boot, a classic style with modern amenities. The suede uppers are soft and pliable, with a unique nappy suede texture that’s sure to help you stand out on a hike. The inside is lined with smooth, fine-grain leather and suede that quickly forms to your foot for a snug, comfortable fit

But these aren’t just chukkas, they’re chukka boots, and Woolrich wants you to know it’s okay to take them out and explore. A heavy duty Vibram outsole makes up the sole of the Lane, for a firm grip wherever you may end up. They’ll last you just about forever, too. The tough rubber outsole can be replaced if you put too many miles on it, but the leather on top will only continue to mature and gain character as you take them on new journeys with you.

Bonobos Super 150 suit in blue

Bonobos is one of the premier menswear providers on the market. They are one of the go-to destinations for the man who doesn't want to feel constricted when they get dressed for the day. Their process to get you outfitted to the nines is a little jarring at first; walking into a store with only one size of every garment only to try on basics to get the sizing right and order what you want. It may sound a little different, but the truth is, it is unfathomably convenient. You can order an entire wardrobe without carrying a thing home. Now, the Bonobos Empire Super 150 suit is the newest offering that takes your wardrobe from stellar to out of this world.

While this isn't the first suit offered b Bonobos, it stands above the others for one very important reason.

Wax London brings jazz ‘Back to Life’

A new line showcasing the talent of young London jazz musicians

Jazz may be one of the most popular musical genres to ever come out of America, but it didn't stay within the confines of the borders for long. It jumped from the New World back to the home country in the 1930s when artists like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington toured the area, causing such an uproar that jazz clubs began popping up all over the city. Since then, London has a rich history with the music and it is as strong today as it was a hundred years ago. The Wax London "Back to Life" campaign combines their love of music with their passion for clothing. Revitalizing jazz with the help of some of the genre's up-and-coming talents.

The collection contains most of what the brand is known for, such as excellent overshirts that combine needed warmth with wanted style. The highlight is the Whiting (a continual classic for the brand) in multicolor check mohair. The collection also contains stellar outerwear and button-ups that look perfect in a casual jazz club. The campaign is aided by a short film showcasing the talents of some of the best London jazz offers.

Style hack: How to cuff your shirtsleeves like a pro

Follow this guideline to look masculine

Man with sleeves rolled

In the undoubtedly long list of times you have laid in bed or on the couch, mindlessly scrolling TikTok or Instagram, you have likely come across the innumerable posts, reels, or videos where women list out some of the sexiest things a man can do. You would expect some things: chopping wood, standing between them and danger, or being a good father. Some others are interestingly insignificant in the grand scheme of things and something we all do in our everyday lives without even thinking. Putting your hand on the passenger seat to turn around and back up the vehicle. Placing your hand in just the right place to keep them from hitting their heads. And one of the most often uttered is when a man rolls up his sleeves. Of course, this is just one of many style hacks you can use, and learning how to cuff sleeves is vital to your look. Here is how and why to get it right.
Relaxed and manly style

Why roll up your sleeves? Why take a shirt that was made as a long sleeve and turn it into a short-sleeved shirt? You never see us turning a short-sleeved shirt into a long-sleeved sleeve. Well, first of all, if we could do that, we probably would. But the main reason for doing it is to function. You can't control the weather. Sometimes, it will catch you off guard, and you simply aren't expecting the temperature to rise as it sometimes can. Rolling your sleeves is a great way to roll (pun intended) with the weather the way you do when you layer. It just doesn't require as much preparation.
