We love to workout- but we also love to chill and have lazy days. Who doesn’t? But finding comfortable fitting athletic pants that we can wear to and from the gym, but also throw on when lounging around the office (or couch) has been a bit of a stretch (pun intended). With Matador Meggings however, our crew can throw on pair of leggings designed for men, hit the ground running, and then relax in the comforts of athletic wear we desire.

Enter two brands who took over the gun belt game in 2022- aiming to keep guys locked and loaded: KORE Essentials and Hanks Belts.

Eco-conscious sportswear, waterwear, and gear created for your every adventure. Built for performance, ready for action - inspiring exploration anytime, anywhere. That is the Vivida lifestyle brand montra- and as testers of their lineup of apparel, we can attest to that and say this is the brand worth diving into.

What you wear under your pants, shorts, joggers, you name it, matters. But, dropping mad money on a fresh, clean, comfortable pair of gem protectors does not need to cost an arm and a leg. That is one reason we are geeking out over the lineup of men’s underwear from All Citizens.

How about a brand that’s mission is to bring customers confidence in comfort wherever they are. That is what the team behind RicherPoorer is all about- committing to a higher quality standard of cleaner, low-impact fabrics that are crafted with the intent for everyday wear (so they can be loved a little longer). The result is less waste, and ultimately better for the planet.

Shoes say a lot about a person. From style to colors, a guy’s pair of shoes needs to make a statement. Duke + Dexter (D+D) made a statement- more ways than one. D+D has received international recognition, selling to over 120 countries worldwide and working with reputable international retailers including Harrods, Selfridges, Nordstrom, Levels and Tsum. Our crew recently looked into their brand, shoe lineup, and styles to see if they were a “fit” for the crew. Their reputation blew us away.

Styling is an art gents. We all know the right pants with the perfect jacket make us feel and look like a million bucks. Your girl digs it, your buddies are jealous of it, and your mom is proud of it. The right style changes so fast that you have to stay up on your style game or you will be left home watching the players play- you feel? That is why Stately is the smart meets style go-to for personalized and stylist-curated outfits, tailored just to you — without any styling fees or retail markup.

behno Soft is an Understatement. behno creates some of the softest shirts we have ever put on. Sure, call it a spoiler alert but we like to get right to it. The NYC-based label has been seen in tons of media and pressers, so we wanted to try the brand that claims to have the “softest men’s fitted tee.”

The finest sportswear meets the most innovative equipment. Have you ever wanted to get into something the more and more you learned about it? That is what BoxRaw did to our crew. We haven’t been as interested in boxing and the boxing community from BoxRaw than we are right now. With their lineup of products are built with purpose and innovations pursued with intent, they are the spot to jump into your boxing journey. What sets BoxRaw apart is the ongoing collaboration with the greatest champions and athletes around the globe.

If there is one thing we know, its the right slipper in colder months can mean the world of difference to your feet. As the weather cools off, don’t be left out in the cold when it comes to covering your feet. The lineup of slippers from German Slippers are guaranteed to give your feet the support, comfort, and warmth they deserve. How do we know? Well, because we tried them out for 30 days and we can’t imagine putting any other slipper on in the morning.

For years working with big companies like Cole Haan, Allen Edmonds, and Adidas, Amberjack got got frustrated by how bleak the landscape of dress shoes had become. They recognized that work is changing, technology is advancing, and yet the dress shoes we all were told to wear- were as outdated as cassette tapes. Amberjack knew they wanted to create something new- so they did and boy, are they jump over a couch worthy…

The way we source and buy clothes matters- hence our newest obsession with some of the Best Sustainable Clothes on the market: Colorful Standard. We have always tried to seek out brands that focus on being Eco-Friendly (like here) and we have found the range of styles, colors, and standards from Colorful Standard are worth taking note of in 2021. Colorful Standard stands for many things, one of which is holding the fashion industry to a higher standard, which no longer risks the health of workers or of the environment.

If you do anything on your feet-and we mean ANYTHING, wouldn’t you like to have the BEST shoes to get the job done while getting the job done? Yeah- we want the good too folks, that is why we called Dibbs on Snibbs and tried their shoes that were engineered by a top orthopedic surgeon-Dr. Snibbe.

Guys we have a problem. Well, a shirt issue if we are getting specific. As many of us know, grabbing an off-the-rack dress shirt that is made for the masses doesn’t always fit right. Then those “Slim Fit” dress shirts are way too tight for anyone with an athletic upper body. Grabbing a “Standard Fit” shirt feels like you are wearing a bulky box around are the waist. That is why State and Liberty decided to do something about it. Their crew spent years researching hundreds of athletic body types to develop the perfect Athletic Fit Dress Shirt.

Just dropped are what could possibly be the next great evolution of CUTS-the AO Jogger. Designed to never take a day off, these joggers are versatility designed around those who move and push their limits. Whether you’re commuting to the office or on your way to a date, the AO Joggers are “Always On” because comfort doesn't take a break-even when you do.

Not Just Any Leather Jacket. Quality Leather Jackets for Men at a great price are here. We are just as guilty as the next guy in buying a “leather jacket” from a department store. Yeah, painful to admit it. But we did not know at the time what we know now about the difference in quality, style, and apparel appeal when it comes to getting your next leather jacket. Angel Jackets have all the styles, and colors for your next quality leather jacket.

Step aside Nike, Adidas, Under Armor- enter any major name brand athletic apparel here- WOLACO is not on the scene with active wear designed with any athlete in mind. No distractions and no excuses between you and your workout- just great fitting apparel to help you get the job done.

We dig shoes. In fact, we are sort of finicky when it comes to what we put on our feet (or our feet in rather). So, when we searched the ends of the outerwebs trying to find a comfortable sneaker that was made with durable, quality, and legit craftsman ship we stumbled across a shoes brand that did just that: taos.

Shirts have never felt so smooth: The days of shopping for a nice dress shirt at Target to wear on date night, guys night out, or vacation are dead. The days of smooth AF, feels like nothing you’ve ever worn, comfortable beyond belief are alive. Buttercloth shirts are extraordinarily soft- and they feel like you're wearing your favorite t-shirt, and look like sophisticated casual dress shirts.

Shirts, pants, outerwear, hoodies, sweatshirts, shorts, boots- you name it, Carhartt has you covered. Literally whatever you need to wear, rep, or rock the team at Carhartt has something to help you get the job done.
