Redwood Outdoors is making seriously effective hot and cold recovery tools inspired by the natural world. I like how the Yukon Cold Plunge Kit has enough space for two and stays bone-chilling cold between plunges. The Thermowood Panorama Sauna features a unique, barrel-shaped design that complements most backyards or patios and includes a powerful heater from Finland that keeps consistent temperature. I also appreciate how all of Redwood Outdoors’ products can be assembled at home.

HEYDUDE makes a compelling bid for your next pair of go-to shoes. Their footwear is lightweight, soft, flexible, breathable, and great with or without socks. I’m a fan of how easy they are to slip on, how easy they are to wash, and the vast selection of colorways available. Some of the colors listed on their website didn’t match up exactly with what was delivered, but their website says there can be a slight variance based on the manufacturing process used.

Paint Your Life did a great job at transforming one of my girlfriend's favorite photos of her and I into a hand-painted portrait. My advice? Take your time choosing the right photo, art medium, and frame, and don’t be afraid to ask for modifications from your artist. If you do, you’ll wind up with a gorgeous portrait your girlfriend, wife, or anyone in your life will love.

I had a great experience with Relationship Hero. While the intake process is quite in-depth, overall I found the session to be valuable. The coach I matched with was highly skilled and the pricing is on point for the value you get.

Perry Ellis aims to bring function and fashion together by making clothes that complement your lifestyle. I love the quality of materials used to make their jackets and sweaters, and I’m impressed by how affordable their clothing is. The brand didn’t always offer the color I wanted for larger items like jackets, but their adventurous colorways helped me step outside my normal palette.

Flag & Anthem’s menswear effectively balances the rugged yet refined look. Their flannels are our standout picks made from 100% thick, soft cotton that feels durable and has a tailored fit on all types of frames. Their henleys and denim are also worthy additions to consider. I’d like to see the brand tweak their outerwear to fit more true to size and reinforce buttons on a few of their shirts.

Vincero has always been more of a fashion forward brand, but with the Reserve, they cap off a string of watches that stand their own in the sub-$1,000 automatic sports watch market. The Reserve is a classy looking chronograph with fantastic features like a domed sapphire crystal and a workhorse Citizen movement.

Vincero offers an awesome selection of styles for their sunglasses, and while I found that a few of the frames I got didn’t match what I expected based on the stated specs, I’m a fan of these shades.

I’ve worn maybe a dozen different Vincero watches, and while I liked certain aspects of each, the Argo is my favorite. I like the simple stainless bracelet and the uncomplicated dial. Plus it’s an automatic diver with an exhibition back that can go down to 200 meters, which is pretty impressive.

I love the concept behind the Marble Automatic, and I think the addition of the black Italian marble in the bracelet is amazing. The specific piece of marble I got as my dial is a bit plain, and the 43mm case design is on the larger side. But the workhorse movement and the “empire-building” ethos behind this timepiece make it a winner.

Mugsy jeans are probably the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn. However, I think they’re overpriced given the amount of synthetic fabric and I question the durability with their 68% cotton make up. If you want jeans that feel like sweatpants, these are your best option. If you want jeans that feel like jeans, there are better options.

Suitsupply brings an impressive amount of expertise and quality to the sub-$1000 custom suiting experience. I’m most impressed by the number of customization options they offer, from fabric choices, to jacket fits, and even button styles. While their suits cost more than competing brand’s offerings, the craftsmanship, quality and fit makes it well worth it for me.

Gobi brings sustainable business practices and quality craftsmanship to cashmere production. I love how soft and durable their sweaters are, and I’m impressed by the number of styles they have and the fact that they partner with nomadic, Mongolian herdsmen to source their cashmere. I didn’t find their garments to be much more affordable than competing cashmere brands, but their quality justifies their price.

I like that Indochino offers a huge selection of customization options, like lapel style, buttons, linings, and monograms. However, the suit I had made didn’t fit as well as I’d hoped from a custom fitting. That said, the brand offers a Perfect Fit Promise and is still a solid choice for custom-made, affordable suits.
