Inspiration can come from anywhere. A book, a movie, a song, all things that can spark our creative engines and get us to turn out the best we have inside us. Designers have to find ways to escape the noise of the industry to find inspiration in everything around them. For Wax London, that was what they did. On a trip to Scotland, they found themselves surrounded by the serene beauty of the country and developed their autumn and winter collection for 2024, titled appropriately enough, “Escape the Noise.” Of course, any collection that Wax London does now has to include an evolution of the new icon for the brand, the Whiting overshirt. And this season has already gotten a boost thanks to Bradley Cooper, who wore it for an outing in NYC. But that isn’t all this new collection has going for it.

Fit for an autumn in the Scottish Highlands

The new Wax London collection features a bevy of specialty overshirts, including the classic windowpane check and the latest season stepney all in a darker nighttime color palette of blacks, navy, and whites. They also add to their repertoire with the Otto, similar to the Whiting, only with side entry pockets. One of the collection’s standouts this season is the use of corduroy. Not only do they offer it in blazers and trousers, the perfect fall fabric for exploring Scotland’s most beautiful countryside, but they also feature embroidered shirts in a stunning pin-cord texture.

High Noon joins with TravisMathew to hold on to summer

Hold onto the last rays of summer with a great collaboration

TravisMathew x High Noon hat and polo

The summer may be winding down, or winded down depending on where you are living, but that doesn't mean you have to accept it. There are ways you can cling to the summer regardless of what the date is. One of the best ways to do that is to grab your favorite summer drink and gather around with friends. If you are a golfer, hit the course until they shut it down for the season. High Noon is known for their hard seltzers mixed with real vodka and real juices for a drink that is as healthy and tasty as drinking can be. They look to keep you living the endless summer with a collaboration this year with TravisMathew, a menswear brand that not only knows how to keep you comfortable, but stylish in their elevated casual gear.
The golf course and beyond

The collection brings together two of the best in their fields. With High Noon being one of the top hard celtzer products on the market since their creation in 2019, they found themselves the go-to drink for the golf course when they partnered with Barstool Sports and were noticed by guys everywhere. TravisMathew, while not a golf brand per se, became a favorite among the community for their performance and versatility, along with their witty advertising. While the High Noon x TravisMathew collaboration is perfect for the golf course, the two tees, two hats, and polo will look great anywhere you want to avoid the arrival of fall and squeeze out a few more moments of summer.

Hockerty channels the English autumn with Fall 24 collection

Colors, fabrics, and vintage silhouettes lead the way

As the sun fades earlier and earlier each day, it gets harder to think about anything other than the holiday season. Of course, it always comes faster than you think it will, and this season, it has arrived with the drops from many brands in their fall and winter collections. Some brands focus on continuing what they have always done, and others have decided to go out on a limb to do something new and different. Hockerty has decided to take their focus into an English autumn with a classic vintage feel. The Hockerty FW24 lookbook is stacked with classic elegance, including suits with straight lines and pleated plants reminiscent of decades past, longer coats that call back to the styles of our fathers and grandfathers, and colorways that take us across the pond to the changing seasons of 'ol Britania.
Vintage English

When you think of autumn in any country, it will almost certainly bring thoughts of chicory coffee brown, yellow clay, lark, morel taupe, and thyme green. These colors embody the feeling of walking in the turning leaves, experiencing the last colors of the season before they change to the whites of winter. Add to that the textures of classic British winter fabrics like Donegal tweed and herringbone, crafted from exceptional materials such as alpaca, wool, silk, and angora, and you will feel like you are strolling along in your favorite English park in the fading hours of summer.

Volition America, Luminox partner for a limited edition watch with a great cause

Help the families of our fallen with Luminox and Volition America

Some people just have it built within their DNA to do more. There are those that go to the finish line, then there are those who don't see a finish line. Those people that look at the horizon as a checkpoint, not a destination. Those people tend to change the world. Volition America is a brand focused on doing more. They have reached a dozen checkpoints since they began in 2007, but as the world seems to get more and more volatile, they continue to keep their eye on the future and the mission they set out to accomplish. They have worked with the Folds of Honor Foundation and donated 13% of all profits to help the families of our country's bravest people: Those that have fallen in service to us. Now, despite all they have done, they have their eyes on a new horizon, with another partner with a history of helping our service members, Luminox.
You buy a future

Luminox has been the watch of the Navy SEALS for three decades, adorning the wrists of the tip of the spear. Now, they are making a limited edition Patriot 13 in partnership with Volition America. With the Volition America logo at the six spot and the number 13 at the one as the sole digit (representing the 13 folds of a flag presented at a fallen soldier's funeral), it is truly a unique piece of military and service honor. The cost for this watch is $5K. But that isn't any $5K; that is a donation to the Folds of Honor Foundation. 100% goes to the service members' families. This scholarship is to add to the $220 million Volition has already donated.
