I'm on the hunt for a pair as I've seen them more in use recently and I have never owned a pair. I particularly like the ones with side fasteners. Any recommendations on where to find good ones for under $300?

I got a Vintage Baracuta Jacket Large G9 Blue Flannel Lined Bomber Harrington for $105 with free delivery and returns. I've been eyeing these Harringtons for a while and my patience paid off. Prior to buying, I chatted with Baracuta's online support to confirm the sizing I should target, so wish me luck. BTW, there are a lot of very nice tweed sport coats on Ebay right now for under $300 from brands like Canali, YSL, Brooks Bros., etc.

Most guys see the women in their lives heading off for manicures and pedicures, focusing on their skin, nails, and appearance, and think, That’s not for me, I’m a dude. That is the wrong mindset. If you do not want polish (I do not), then do not get it. But your nails, feet, lower arms, and calves will be in far better condition afterward, especially the skin and cuticles. It is hygiene, not vanity. I took my wife and our goddaughter out for a mini spa day. I skipped the polish, but I still got massages, lotion treatments, cuticle care, callus removal, and deep moisturizing. My hands and feet look and feel great. So why is it considered “not manly”? To me, real confidence is taking care of yourself. And yes, I am man enough to take care of my hygiene.

Gents - I'm about to ruffle some feathers... Everyone talks about Fall "essentials," but here's what I've learned after years in menswear: Most guys completely waste their money on the wrong first purchase. I see men drop $300 on trendy boots they'll wear 5 times, while walking around in ill-fitting basics that kill their entire look. 🤔 So let me know your take: Your FIRST Fall upgrade should be... Vote below:⬇️⬇️⬇️ But here's the kicker: Defend your choice. Tell me why your pick beats the others - and don't give me generic answers. I want to know which piece has actually changed how you dress, not what some blog told you to buy. The guy with the best argument might just save someone else from making a $200+ mistake this season. 💪
