ROKA Rio Alloy Sunglasses
You can be stylish, you can be athletic, and you can be cool. Very, very cool fact, in ROKA sunglasses.
We’ve loved ROKA Aviator Sunglasses like the Falcon and the Phantom, and the new Rio Alloy model seems like the next step for your sunglasses collection.
Says ROKA: The Rio Alloy inherits the award-winning DNA of the Ultralight Rio Titanium and the entire Ultralight Aviator Collection with the same ultralight premium C3™ nylon lenses and lens coatings and our patented, best-in-class GEKO™ retention technology. The Rio Alloy was engineered to provide lightweight performance at the optimal strength-to-weight ratio without sacrificing durability.
They also have some of the key features you would expect with ROKA, such as:
- HIGH STRENGTH-TO-WEIGHT RATIO, STRONG ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS AND CORROSION RESISTANCE
- PREMIUM C3™ NYLON LENSES WITH ANTI-SCRATCH, ANTI-FOG AND ANTI-REFLECTANCE COATINGS
- SUPER-HYDROPHOBIC AND OLEOPHOBIC COATINGS FOR ANTI-SPOTTING, FINGERPRINT RESISTANCE, AND EASY CLEANING

Standard Deviation Alpha Denim Jeans
You can search the world to find the perfect jeans that fit you well and express your sense of style.
We are big fans of Standard Deviation’s Alpha model denim jeans, and it’s not because they come from trend-setting Brooklyn or because they are made in America and Canada. Those are two good reasons, but the overriding one is simply that they not only look fantastic, they feel fantastic as well.
Fortunately, instead of getting 3 pairs of the same color, you can three colors of the same style: Medium Indigo, Dark Indigo, and Light Indigo. You can can even get grey or black, if that’s to your taste.
As we said in the past “Alpha (relaxed fit) jean from Stephanie Park and Manuel Gonzales-Luna’s Brooklyn-based Standard Deviation hit all of the key points… as far as comfort and fit, they hit way above their reasonable price level.”
ABOUT STANDARD DEVIATION
Based in Brooklyn, Standard Deviation combines contemporary menswear with streetwear influences. Starting in 2016, co-founders Manuel Gonzales-Luna and Stephanie Park have sought to create a brand that their friends would want to wear.
The Alpa jeans unique features:
- Their most relaxed fit with more room in the hip and thigh.
- Sits at the hip.
- Recommended for athletic builds.
Sperry Gold Cup Pastel Boat Shoe
First of all, every well-dressed man should have at least one pair of Sperry’s Original Gold Cup Authentic Original Boat Shoes. As Sperry explains, this design includes “soft linings, rich leather uppers, rust-proof eyelets, and a classic leather welt construction for durability”, plus t he 360° lacing system for a secure fit and razor-cut Wave-Siping™ for traction on wet and dry surfaces. In other words, don’t worry about slipping in these, or having them slip off of you.
The truth is that when you walk in the room — any room — wearing the pastel version you are basically saying, “Yes, I’m someone you want to know.”
The challenging news about the pastel version is that it is rather hard to find. In fact, you could call it a “collectible.” So if you want to get your deck shoe version of being a “sneakerhead” fired up, then go on the search for these awesome and comfortable shoes.
Hudson Made Grooming Products
Stay fresh, clean, and well-anointed fragrance-wise with Hudson Made soaps and body wash.
Bill Hovard ‘s New York-based Hudson Made checks off all of the boxes when it comes to sustainability and trying to be environmentally friendly. They also try to reduce their carbon footprint, and support other small businesses. Says Hudson Made, “We grow a portion of our botanicals in partnership with local farmers.” The fact that they get them fresh from the farm says that your aromas are going to be true and non-artificial.
If you’re hard working or hard playing, your hands can take a beating. The Hudson Made Worker’s Soap is designed to help get those mitts clean, scrubbed, cared for, and ready for public presentation. They will also enjoy the fragrances of Cedar, Patchouli, and Tobacco.
For somewhat dry, irritable, or sensitive skin, try the Apothecary Rose Body Bar Soap. Roses have long been held to improve skin texture and soothe irritated skin. The bar is unisexual, and comes with hints of Rose, Patchouli, Rose Geranium, Cinnamon Leaf. Use it on anywhere that you want, such as faces, hands or full-body.
