Buy It Now: Band of Outsiders Sweatpants

intern — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:55:46 +0000

We know you read the word “sweatpants” and think of bummin’ around on your couch, taking bong hits, and watchin’ crap TV all day. But in men’s style, sweatpants are on a come-up quicker than Amber Rose. For example: the wool Shetland/Terry Tailored pants from Band of Outsiders. These high-end sweatpants are sophisticated enough for a date (or even work) but are perfect for… bummin’ around on your couch, taking bong hits, and watchin’ crap TV all day. That, or the strip club. Sweatpants in a strip club, FTW! For detail pics and Buy It Now info, see below…

Buy It Now: Opening Ceremony Rugby Knit Polo

intern — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:15:06 +0000

Rugby is a rough and tumble sport, but you won’t wanna be tackled in the mud with Opening Ceremony’s Rugby Knit Polo on. Humberto Leon and Carol Lim make this American classic modern again by using subtle color-blocking. It’s got a contrast-woven collar and henley placket, ribbed cuffs, and reinforced flap hem…which is just clothing jargon that means it’s nice enough to wear to dinner with the folks. It’s in a knit fabric though so watch for shorty trying to wear your fancy gear to bed. Check below for detail pics in both colorways and Buy It Now info…

Buy It Now: Pegleg NYC Oranges Tee

donniek — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 15:47:27 +0000

Over the weekend, our homie Josh from Reebok gave us a simple tip on masking the smell of cigarettes from disapproving wifeys/parents/teachers: Eat an orange. Not only does the citrus overpower your nicotine breath, but the scent of the peels will kill off that nasty Vegas smell from your fingers. Two birds with one orange, you dig? Thanks for that, Josh.

Today’s Buy It Now is the Oranges Tee from Pegleg NYC, available exclusively at Opening Ceremony. The T-shirt has a color-blocking flag pattern with a mid-panel featuring some juicy fuckin’ oranges. Now go smoke a cigarette! For Buy It Now info and detail pics, see below….
