Make Summer Travel a Breeze with the ONU Stretch Jacket

If you’re like us, and the creators of the ONU Stretch Jacket, one of the worst parts of traveling is showing up to your destination with a mess of wrinkled clothes.

Between cramming things into a suitcase or the little gray containers in the security line, your clothes never quite seem to be as fresh when you need them most.

onu stretch jacketWe’ve offered a couple of solutions to this issue before and we’re equally excited to see another new jacket on the market that can stand up to modern travel rigors.

ONU’s clothing mantra has included simple colorways with well-tailored fits made of functional materials. The new ONU Stretch Jacket might be their most cohesive offering yet, blending a businesslike silhouette with Nydex fabric (combo of Nylon and Spandex) that won’t wrinkle and will move with you. Whether you’re reaching up to stow your carry-on or hustling to catch a train, the Nydex fabric won’t give out on you, meaning no unexpected rips or tears from an airport rush.

While it’s a slick looking piece, the fabric is equally captivating. Nydex is fast-drying, repels a host of things including water, sweat and stains. Meaning you can take this traveling with you from the tropics to Timbuktu and it will hold up to whatever the weather and the local cuisines can throw at you.

The three-way collar is a plus to adjust to whatever you might be wearing underneath. We think this would be great dressed up with a button down and tie, or dressed down with a plain t-shirt. The soft blue color is the perfect shade to match up with any number of patterns or lighter summer colors.

The Stretch Jacket is on sale now and you can get yours here.

Citizen Tsuyosa 37mm

Smaller case sizes are trendy, and every brand wants a piece of the pie.

Citizen just rolled out new Tsuyosa timepieces, designed to keep up with the changing times. While the brand worked on 40 mm Tsuyosa watches, it is now downscaling the size, just a little bit, to 37 mm. Thanks to its striking colors, the Tsuyosa collection has dominated the industry in the past two years. Well, this is the perfect time to take over again with a watch that has a compact size. Even though this watch is smaller than the 40 mm version, it still sits perfectly on the wrist.

Sorel, Madeira, and bourbon? Bardstown says yes with this Manhattan riff
This unusual recipe shows off the French Oak finish of a fine bourbon
Bardstown Bourbon Communion Cocktail

Bardstown is going bold with its latest cocktail offering --  the drink stars the bourbon brand's new release, its Cathedral French Oak bourbon. It also makes use of Sorel Liqueur, a hibiscus-flavored liqueur inspired by the traditional Caribbean tea drink. Hibiscus is a great ingredient to incorporate into cocktails, as it has both a sharp, berry-like quality and a floral softness, and Sorel incorporates ingredients like ginger, cassia, and cloves as well as hibiscus to give the liqueur a spicy note.

There's also Maderia in this cocktail, which is a much-maligned wine style but one that's becoming increasingly popular in cocktail circles, where its fortified nature and bold sweetness make it an interesting substitution for vermouth. In fact, this cocktail is really a kind of Manhattan variation, with bourbon rather than rye, the addition of a floral liqueur, and the use of Maderia in place of the vermouth.
