Olivers makes excellent workout shorts and travel pants, and while I felt the button-to-crotch measurement on the Passage pant was a bit longer than I like, I’ve been enjoying having a pair of pants that fit in at the farmers market as much as they do at the rock climbing gym.

It’s been a while since I shopped at J.Crew, and the fits have become much more modern and slim. Yes, the brand that taught me how to dress well as a young man still has it.

Original Grain’s Pilot Zulu marks a new chapter for the brand. With a Swiss Movement and a domed sapphire crystal, the quality of this new timepiece is a cut above their other models but still holds true to the brand’s design principles.

There’s a lot of discussion about which sneaker makes the best alternative to Common Projects, and there are only three contenders: Oliver Cabell is one. But what impressed us most about the brand was their ability to make world class sneakers and boots while keeping prices relatively low.

The comfort and stretch in the DUER No Sweat and L2X fabric is beyond what we’ve seen in other denim. I’d like to see more length options for the shorts, as the 10.25 inch is about an inch and a half longer than I prefer. But all DUER pants come with a crotch-gusset which makes mobility a breeze.

There’s nothing complicated about PAIGE’s clothing, but there is something special. Their utility-inspired bomber jacket and cargo trousers combine minimalist designs with clean masculine lines and make for a sharp outfit.

REC’s 901 RWB Rotana offers a well-designed piece of engineering history. Fans of the RWB Porsche tuning shop will probably love the look, and while the focus isn’t on the movement, the story and aesthetic behind this timepiece drive the value.

Vuori’s lineup of performance-wear looks and feels good. Their sizes are on the small side, so if you’re in between, go larger. Their customer service is on-point so you can focus on getting clothes that take you from the gym to the lake to a Sunday stroll.

The Clarks Desert Boot is a classic and for good reasons. It’s a super simple design with richly oiled leather and the signature crepe sole. Crepe rubber has its issues, so the sole should be treated gently, but the price is fair considering the leather quality.

PlayMakar does an excellent job providing muscle-relief tools to the common athlete without costing a fortune. The PlayMakar MVP has more percussions-per-minute and is significantly quieter than any Theragun, though the stroke depth isn’t as much. For 60% of the price, the MVP is an excellent value. PlayMakar’s electric muscle stimulators have a similar story---an effective product that leaves some money in your pocket.

If you’re a fan of Robert Graham’s signature loud, fun designs, the quality won’t disappoint you. While they’re battling inventory issues through their web-store, there are many gems in here that are flattering for a variety of body types.

hims is the a great telehealth company for men, but there are some drawbacks, too. Their subscription model isn’t as transparent as I’d like, but a simple email is all you need to cancel. Whether the medications work is a matter of how your body responds, and hims has shown plenty of success.

Of all the deodorant brands I’ve seen, Helmm does the best job staying away from harmful and questionable chemicals. While I’d like to see a travel-edition because the applicator is bulky, the health-factor, refillable cartridges, and easy-to-use subscription model is more than enough for me to choose Helmm as my every-day brand.

Asket is often compared to Everlane. I’m a big fan of both brands, and while they seem very similar, there are a few key differences. Asket’s clothes are higher quality and the brand is even more eco-driven and dedicated to traceability. But those things come at a higher cost. Whether they’re worth it is down to you and your budget.

VAER is a prime example of the recent shift by watchmakers toward combining quality with affordability. As a small brand, there are some struggles around shipping times, but their field watches offer killer value that’s hard to find elsewhere.
