Joey Pants lives up to his name with &SONS

The hardest working man in Hollywood needs a great work pant

&SONS Joey's Crew Pant Patch — &SONS

Joe Pantoliano is one of the hardest-working men in Hollywood. His upcoming appearance in the Dexter prequel, Dexter: Original Sin, gives him 169 credits to his name. But it isn’t just the number of credits he has on his resume; it is also the kinds of roles he plays. He carried the first Matrix movie in an utterly underrated role as the mole on the ship. He was the only person in all of Miami who could keep Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) in line in the Bad Boys franchise, and let’s not forget that he was the most charming member of Deputy Sam Girard’s (Tommy Lee Jones) warrant squad in The Fugitive (both movies). A man that works this hard needs a good work pant, and that is where classic Americana master &SONS came to the rescue.

The perfect product for a Hollywood icon

&SONS

Joe Pantoliano has a very Italian name, and the heritage of such a name likely helped him land the role of Ralph on The Sopranos. However, the difficult time some people have in pronouncing that name led him to earn the nickname Joey Pants. That is the perfect nickname for a man who is a fan of the leader in stylish old-world workwear. When he asked &SONS to deliver their work pant in a new color, they delivered the Churchill blue. But they didn’t stop there, they honored their famous fan with a patch with his face on it and called this pant, “Joey’s Crew.” The perfect work pants for the hardest worker in Hollywood. Now, he is going to do it in an even more stylish way.

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.

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.”
