What can you get done in your crawlspace or other tiny nook of the house? Wait, maybe we don't want to know the answer to that. Kevin and Ginny are two young graphic designers who [...]

The list of things we don't love from CXXVI is short. Very short. From the waist up, CXXVI made just about everything thing you needed for a day or night on the town and a [...]

Planning a summer escape? You'll want to pack light, which means your bag better include a few good tees. Inspired by music, culture, and all around fun times, tees by Brixton have a vintage feel [...]

Dressing up is a pain in the ass. Yeah we want to look good and be "presentable," but stiff collars and stuffy jackets are about as appealing as a t-shirt made of Brillo pads. When [...]

With the release of Avengers this weekend, trailers of Dark Night Rises emerging and buzz about The Amazing Spiderman, summer 2012 will be hosting more than the just Olympic Games. It's the battle of the [...]

Being a fan of style and sports can sometimes present enormous dilemmas. If you rock Celtics green, live and die with the 76ers (mostly die), or are named Spike Lee, it's going to be really [...]

Of course you don't need a $45 t-shirt to make you look handsome, but wearing a tee by Handsome will likely bring about that result. Influenced by the arts and a varied assortment of musicians, [...]

Having medium control sounds like a good place to be. Like how you feel after just a few beers (whatever "a few" means for you). Medium Control tees, created by a screen printing husband and [...]

You're probably already familiar with Bonobos - they make those khakis your girl always wants you to wear - well, they've just produced the manliest jeans ever. No, they don't come prestained with motor oil and grill grease, but [...]

We've got a serious man-crush on Pop Chart Lab. We don't know why we just assumed a company was a dude, but we did, and now we feel a little weird. Their prints are always [...]

When you name your company Arka, defined as "the king of all kings," you better be able to back that up. Which is probably why this blog isn't named "Coolest" Material. They seem to put [...]

The fact that your belt has a functional purpose does not mean it can't also be stylish. Belts aren't restricted to the brown or black leather variety that they're most commonly found in. Nylon d-ring [...]

If we revisit a brand, it means they must be doing something right. And that isn't just code for "we ran out of material." Since our last look at Altru Apparel plenty of [...]

There aren't enough adjectives for 'hate' in the English language to adequately describe how much we hate losing or breaking sunglasses. Countless pairs of Oakleys, Randolph Engineering and Ray-Bans have gone the way of the [...]

All men own at least one tie. It could be the bright red "power tie" from your first job interview or a standard black one to go with the one suit you own, but everyone [...]
