Common Projects is known for quality and simplicity throughout its products.

Read moreEveryone’s Favorite Menswear Brand Just Released Sunglasses: A Review Of The New Spier & Mackay Shades (+ Giveaway!)
We’ve spoken about Spier & Mackay at length before on the site. They are widely regarded as one of the best values in menswear these days, and we have been big fans of theirs from the very beginning. As time has gone on, and as major big-box retailers like J Crew have been on the decline, Spier & Mackay have been expanding their offerings from suits and dress shirts to ties, shoes, chinos, polos, sweaters, and now, sunglasses as well…
Read moreBreathe New Life Into Your Watches! We Review Holben’s Watch Straps
We’re big fans of watches around these parts. Which should come as no surprise to anyone reading this, since a proper wristwatch is the completion to any outfit. It’s the one sort of “jewelry” piece that men get to wear, and it’s a great way to make a subtle statement, and show off your personality. The thing is, though, that after many years of wear you might become a little bit bored with your watch…
Read moreReview: Blank Label’s Custom Tailored Pants
Here we are, back once again with another review of online, MTM clothing. We have taken a look at Blank Label before, specifically their custom shirt offerings. While they have a clean website, nice fabric curation, and produce a quality garment, we found their fit inconsistent across multiple orders, perhaps the biggest flaw in their system…
Read moreReview: Tani Undershirts & Thermals — Is A $75 Undershirt Worth It???
Readers seemed to really like our coverage of Tani’s luxurious underwear, and so we are back once again with some more products of theirs in review. This time they sent over some things to wear up top and opposed to down below. First is their full set of thermals ($145)…
Read moreHockerty Custom Topcoat Review — How Is Placing A Second Order???
We have reviewed Hockerty before — including their outerwear — but a great test of a MTM company is whether they can produce garments with any level of consistency. This is especially true with offerings like outerwear which is not a super-easy thing to get right, and should only be offered if it can be done correctly. We were not at all happy with the consistency (or lack thereof) when it came to Hockerty’s shirts but we wanted to see if perhaps the experience with their outerwear would be different…
Read moreReview: The Hook & Albert Garment Weekender Bag (+ Dopp Kit)
Some products really live up to the hype, and this is one of them. That’s not say it isn’t without some flaws, but, coming right out at the top of this thing, the Garment Weekender Bag from Hook & Albert ($500) is truly a superb product…
Read moreReview: Bluffworks New Travel Jeans + Comparison
We’ve taken a look at Bluffworks in the past and have been quite happy with their products. They make “tech wear”, or clothing that looks like it’s just typical, average, normal clothing but actually has all sorts of special technical properties that make it stretch, water-resistant, sweat-resistant, stretchy, and so on. Their suit, for instance, is washable! Recently, though, they released a new item: Travel Jeans ($125)…
Read moreSpier & Mackay Custom MTM Dress Shirts Review
While Spier & Mackay has become super well known in the menswear space for their suits, shirts, and sport coats, offering superb values, high end fabrics, and great cuts at beyond reasonable prices, they also have a lesser known made-to-measure shirt program ($79+) that you can order from online. Naturally, it should come as no surprise to you that we had to try it out, continuing our coverage of all the online MTM companies we can get our hands on!..
Read moreDid You Know Thursday Boots Makes A Women’s Line Too? Well, They Do & They’re Just As Great
It’s no secret that we are big fans of Thursday Boots around here. They make some great shoes at quite affordable prices. They look great, are super comfortable, and really do hold up nicely over time. Are they the strongest, most durable, best built shoes on the market? Or course not. But at the the price point, we think they are some of the absolute best. In short, they punch above their weight, and you’re gettin a great value for your money (which is what we are all about around these parts)…
