Wrangler revives iconic denim mill

Iconic mill revived by western brand for legendary throwback

Some things just work together: beer and pizza, chocolate and peanut butter, Tom and Jerry, Hall and Oats. You get the idea. Wrangler is one of the most well-known brands in the jeans industry due to its innovation and stranglehold in the Western industry. The choice of cowboys everywhere, Wrangler is a brand that works as hard as you do. Cone Denim and its White Oak plant in Greensboro, North Carolina, is the kind of legend you have never heard of. Unless, of course, you are in the industry yourself. They built what Levis came up with, and until they shut down a few years ago, were a mainstay of the denim industry. Now, Wrangler Cone White Selvedge is the new line from both brands that gives beer and pizza a run for its money.

Reaching deep into its archives and opening the vault for the pleasure of the brand’s true fans, Wrangler revives some of the last remaining yarn loomed at the Cone Denim White Oak plant to recreate an icon. Creating a new classic Cowboy Cut jeans and trucker jacket inspired by Rodeo Ben (the brand’s first-ever celebrity who designed clothing for them), they have a new look sure to give any Wrangler fan the warm and fuzzies for years to come. The jeans fit like they would have been for cowboys at the brand’s height, made to be rolled and cuffed like any good selvedge. The updated jacket comes with contrasted stitching and two chest pockets.

Zenith’s limited-edition Revival A3818 offers 3 exclusive designs in carbon
You'll love the carbon on the new Zenith watch
Zenith x Revolution Chronomaster Revival A3818

In the past five years, Zenith and Revolution have been rolling out reimagined versions of the A3818 as part of the Chronomaster Revival A3818 collaboration series. While the first model in the collection, released in 2020, was manufactured from steel, the second one, released in 2022, had a high-quality titanium casing.

Well, the latest addition goes all the way out with a carbon casing. It’s characterized by a black appearance and a lighter weight, making it stand out from the two models launched in previous years. The steel model weighed 110.6g and the titanium model weighed 78.3g, but the new model only weighs 60g. The dial also has a black color that blends smoothly with the casing.

The rise of Timothée Chalamet as a fashion icon: Exotic, ethereal, and bold
Timothée Chalamet’s fashion evolution: How his red carpet looks cement him as a style icon
Timothée Chalamet

The Chalamet effect is undeniable, and as one of the current reigning voices of Gen Z, Timothée Chalamet is regarded by many in his generation and beyond not only as a phenomenal actor, but as a cultural trendsetter and style icon in the making. With a penchant for blurring the lines between the masculine and feminine, Timothée is every bit the fashion influencer for the modern man, pushing the boundaries as he sees fit -- filled with a confidence that belies his youth. We're sure to see plenty of the Oscar nominee for Best Actor in a Leading Role this award season, so we're taking a look at his red carpet style.
Chalamet seizes a style moment

Timothée Chalamet's style is a smorgasbord of looks ranging from the casual and chic to the formal -- a coterie of monochromatic and retro ensembles that are the epitome of Gen Z chic. There are few fabrics off-limits for the A Complete Unknown actor, and he has become known for challenging the conventional red carpet look with his own unique style. Looks from his previous red carpet entrances include bold floral prints, leather from head to toe (including a harness), and even velvet. The Chalamet aesthetic is a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners vibe challenging traditional masculinity in menswear.

Bulova’s new MIL-SHIPS watch revives a 1950s military design in bronze

Bulova MIL-SHIPS

Bulova’s latest timepiece tells a deep story, which is centered around the brand’s evolution over the past 150 years. The MIL-SHIPS timepieces honor the brand's history of developing military watches.

Back in the 1950s, the US Navy was looking for a watch that could withstand tough conditions, so Bulova stepped in and created the Bulova MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 Submersible. This submersible watch was watertight, resistant to water vapor, visible in darkness, and equipped with a rotatable bezel. However, it was never available commercially and while testing was successful, Bulova didn't proceed to production, leaving a handful of prototypes in limbo.
That is until 2021 when it was brought back to life. It was given a beautiful makeover, which makes it look quite stylish—something to keep up with the changing times. It’s worthwhile to note the casing’s design was passed down from the original timepiece.
Now, the Bulova MIL- SHIPS watch has a CuSn8 bronze case, meant to be reminiscent of 19th-century diving helmets. As a watch that draws inspiration from old diving gear, this timepiece creates a smooth balance between retro and modern aesthetics.
