We’ve been big fans of Brooklyn’s Knickerbocker Mfg. Co. ever since we they were one of the brands we found at the New York City men’s shows a few years ago. Whether it’s baseball caps, tees, beanies, bags, coats or other apparel, the attention to detail and quality put into every piece that they produce the old fashioned way makes it something you want to add to your collection. And now, they’ve collaborated with The New York Times–yes, that NYT–to create a capsule collection of pieces available through the NYTStore. Cards on the table, we have no idea why any of these pieces exist except for that fact that the paper wanted something to sell other than, well, newspapers, but that doesn’t make them any less cool. The “T” branded caps are worthy of consideration. The logo and slogan tees are also acceptable if you’re a huge NYT fan. But the piece de resistance is the Photographer Work Jacket inspired by the “French blues” worn by factory works in the late 1800s. The semi-brushed, 100% cotton twill chore jacket (let’s just call it what it is) is available in blue or charcoal.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
