Since its founding in 1997, Triple Aught Design has endeavored to provide its customers with high-quality, durable clothing capable of meeting all of life’s difficult challenges and demands.
In keeping with this mission, the menswear brand just debuted its latest item, the Rogue Jacket, a sophisticated garment built with extreme toughness and mobility in mind.

“At TAD, we focus on not only the consumer, but their situation,” began JJ Collier, Chief Design Officer. “The usage, location and environment all become factors.”
“We begin by defining the situation, then assessing the situational needs,” he continued. “With the Rogue, this process revealed the opportunity for a lighter but still durable take on the modern casual jacket, while adding the details we are known for.”

These details include both a durable nylon cotton blend for the shell, which wears well over time and adjusts seamlessly across a number of different climates and temperatures, as well as a series of deep exterior and internal pockets, which the intrepid jacket-wearer can stuff with flashlights, knives and travel documents.
Additionally, the fit of the jacket is perfect for the guy on the go as a bi-swing back permits for comfortable full-range motion and reinforced double layers safeguard against any rips or tears. Button-up cuffs and articulated elbows offer extra structure and support as does the jacket’s double needle top stitching.
While the Rogue is tailor-made for an adventure or expedition, Collier says it works well across a wide range of situations, including everyday urban wear.
“When the action hero spends the entire movie in one jacket, this is essentially that jacket,” he explained. “Rugged, articulated and equipped, but still stealthy enough to move in and out of different environments without standing out.”
The Rogue Jacket retails for $170 and can be bought here.
Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.
I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.
Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.
Expect the unexpected with Dior 2027 Summer Men’s Show
Unexpected patterns and substitutions lead the way in Paris
Tucked back off a small street, Rue de Monceau, in Paris, just a short 8-minute walk from Parc Monceau to the Northeast of the Eiffel Tower, sits a museum many Americans miss on their trips to the City of Love. Musée Nissim de Camondo is home to a wide collection of French art from the 1700s. It is draped in tapestries and adorned with artifacts displaying the beauty of French artistic creativity. This week, it also happened to be home to Dior's Summer Men's Show. These destination shows by the iconic French fashion house, have been home to some of the most pivotal moments in fashion progression. From the "New Look" event a year after the company was formed in 1947, to the "Russian Catwalk" in Moscow in 1959, to this season. What did the attendees of this event experience (other than sweltering heat)? Unexpected changes to classic lines and fabrics that ask the wearer to look to the future.
