PSD can provide what most guys want in a pair of boxer briefs. They’re true to size, they have four-way stretch, and the waistband makes sure the boys stay in place. While the investment may be high for some, high-quality underwear usually works out to be more cost-effective in the long run.

If you’re trying to stick within a budget and still get a shirt that compliments your body, David Outwear's Crew Curve-Hem Tee could be for you. It’s not the most popular brand, but that could change thanks to their flattering fits at a competetive price point.

Brisk’s shirts rarely skip a beat for a web-only tailored menswear company. All but one measurement was off across everything I got, which I can get altered for free. As a brand, Brisk’s product is stylish and affordable, but their options are limited in the context of who they’re competing with.

Madda Fella makes quality clothes with very unique designs. But, the apparel line is quite pricey. If you like Madda Fella’s prints, want to bring a taste of the tropics to your town, and can afford it, then it’s probably the best brand to turn to.

After reviewing Paka, I don’t get why alpaca fiber wasn’t always as revered as wool or cashmere. Both their sweaters and socks have a distinct softness exclusive to the specialty fabric. However, the Hoodie’s sizing was quite off despite ordering the same size crew neck. If you’re just looking for socks, the lifetime warranty is equally lucrative as it is unheard of.

July’s suitcases are wheels-up winners. The Carry On’s removable power bank is a literal electronics life-saver. While less feature-dense, the Checked suitcase has plenty of room for large garments and the Y-straps squeeze out that last bit of space. However, the Carry All Backpack lacks the room and technical features needed to be my go-to travel bag.

It’s obvious to me why Cozy Earth produces bedding alongside viscose-fabric apparel. Given their heavier construction, the Bamboo Hoodie and Jogger Set flaunt bamboo’s breathability strengths better than any cotton alternative I’ve come across. Their signature fabric is no gimmick, but it’s harder for me to justify their luxury pricing when details and design fall slightly flat.

Pact has only deepened my existing love for organic cotton. Their tees and trousers might require some breaking in, but they soften up wonderfully, and the Woven Twill Roll Up Pant is the toughest jogger I’ve tried on. Keeping in mind price and texture, their briefs are a great value, but their bundle pricing makes that possible for other pieces, too.

Reigning Champ’s name isn’t to be taken lightly, and neither should their made-in-Canada quality. Their terry and jersey fabrics are tough from the get-go but don’t require a lengthy break-in period, and the flat-lock stitching oozes top-notch construction.

Nécessaire’s soaps, moisturizers, and deodorant do what they’re supposed to, and more. They’re infused with skin-nourishing and image-lifting elements made my skin feel rejuvenated. Coming from a guy who’s tried it all, The Scalp Serum is worth a look if you’re a guy looking to protect your hair as you age.

KÜHL manages to integrate a lot of function without the hyper-technical look that’s common with outdoor apparel. I’m by no means an accomplished outdoorsman, but I still need ample pockets, water-repellency, and unrestricted movement in the city. Every box was checked across the products I tested. However, their casual items are priced similar to their feature-heavy offerings, and the pricing didn’t always add up.

I’ve seen John Hardy’s product around, but wearing the Love Knot Necklace, Ring, and Bracelet has shown me that it’s not just a brand with flashy designs. Their genuine .925 silver hasn’t lost its luster after a few weeks of wear, and the fact that it’s ethically sourced and hand crafted feels great.

Robert Barakett nails the luxury experience in their details, fabric choice, and design. Their shirts, hoodies, and joggers complement my body type and their US-grown Pima cotton is pretty damn comfortable. However, I didn’t find the price of the t-shirts to be as justifiable compared to the sweatpants and hoodie, which is also high, but supported by a lot of fine details.

If you’re looking for a pair of affordable dress shoes that will be stylish and professional enough at work (without spending $100s) and are comfortable right away, or if you know you’re rarely going to be wearing dress shoes but need to keep a pair at the ready, Bruno Marc is a great option.

We don't need to get meta on this one---I'm a fan of Vuori's Meta Pants. The price is on the higher end relative to the market but I found you get what you pay for in terms of fit, features, and comfort. They're true to size, the cut is flattering, and the VersaLife polyester fabric is super comfortable and allows for a wide range of motion. I recommend them as a versatile inclusion in any capsule wardrobe or simply an easy reach pair of quality everyday pants.
