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.
For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations
I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.
I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

Nomos just made its smallest watch even more interesting
Nomos Glashütte has added two new versions of its smallest watch to the permanent collection: the Tetra 27 white and the Tetra 27 duo.
The German company has been making square watches out of Glashütte since 1992, when the Tetra launched alongside the Tangente, Ludwig, and Orion. (Fun fact: the name Glashütte is a legally protected designation of origin.)
