GOING SWIMMINGLY

For Whenever You’re Not Skinny Dipping

Pools have so many rules. Like no running. And no building poolside deck chair forts. But here’s a good rule: no wearing anything that isn’t a thigh-flattering masterpiece of swimsuitery. And since Faherty Brand’s giving you 25% off right now, that shouldn’t be too hard.

TIME IS UP

Watches Just Shouldn’t Look This Good

You know Miansai. They bent the laws of male jewelry physics to make... legitimately wearable male jewelry. So imagine what they’d do with watches. Or stop imagining and head to their site, because they just unveiled 58 nautically inspired horological beauties. Yeah, we figure you were imagining that.

SPORTING CHANCE

This Robe Is the Greatest

Picture it: one week from now, you could wake up, slip into Muhammad Ali’s robe from his final fight (in 1981) and eat a waffle. Or you could walk around town wearing Whitey Ford’s warm-up jacket. You’ll just need to be the highest bidder at this auction. And very careful you don’t spill the syrup.

WHISKEY REBELLION

A French Knife. Made in Texas. Huh.

Stubborn champagne corks. Mysterious letters. Baby carrots. All good reasons why you’d need a walnut-handled, coral-and-green-painted replica of a famous 19th-century French peasant’s knife. Though we’d also accept “Because it exists now.”
