Was looking through the “New Arrivals” section of some sites I like and figured I would share a couple of things that stood out to me (perhaps I can make this into a recurring series)…
Read moreA Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Tuesday Edition

Read moreJomers New Tailored-Fit Italian Travel Jeans In Review
Jomers is one of those companies that has just been killing it lately. We’ve taken a look at them before, though this time we had much, much better results. So, what do I mean by “killing it”? Well, I would put it this way: Think about Bonobos. They have great clothing, with tons of fit options, but their stuff is super, prohibitively, expensive. In other words, it’s overpriced…
Read moreSteal the Style: Sean Connery’s James Bond At The Beach
Consider this something of an outgrowth of our latest series on the site. This time, it’s not about Luxury versus Affordable, but something simpler: stealing the style of one of the greatest dressers to ever hit the big screen, James Bond…
Read moreOne Look, Two Prices: Summer Office-Casual
Here is yet another installment of our latest series in which we take one, timely look and show you how to accomplish it at two radically different price points…
Read moreOne Look, Two Prices: The Perfect Summer Weekend Getup
Welcome back to our latest series here on The Peak Lapel, where we take one, timely, seasonal look, and show you how to accomplish it at two radically different budgets. Of course, we really don’t expect anyone to go for broke with the fully luxury version, but, certainly, a lot can be learned from these exercises, and perhaps a single luxury piece here and there is worth investing in…
Read moreReview: Banana Republic’s Famous Traveler Pant
Bonobos is not the only one with a super stretchy, super comfortable, jean-like pant. In fact, Banana Republic’s is even named similarly. To be honest, I am not quite sure who was first to market here, but both brands’ traveler pants are beloved by many guys…
Read moreReview: The Insanely Comfortable Bonobos Tech 5-Pocket Pant
Being uncomfortable is a thing of the past, it seems. However, while many men take this to mean it’s fine to stroll about in sweat shorts and a tank top, classier folk know that such outfits should be reserved for the gym. Still, there is no need to be anything other than absolutely comfortable, as the new wave of “tech wear” allows for what appears to, say, a standard chino to actually be a super comfortable, stretchy, moisture wicking, lightweight material pant that is probably more comfortable and cooler than your favorite sweats.
Read moreReview: The Bonobos Travel Jeans (with Fit Measurements)
Recently, we’ve been taking a look at some of the best “tech-wear” pants/bottoms here on the site. We have a lot more on the way, too. Now, though, we’re taking a look at one of the most beloved and well-known (and amongst the first) in the “stretchy pants” arena. They are the Bonobos Travel Jeans ($128), bringing the best of denim and jeans together with the best of stretch fabrics…
Read moreWorth It?: Are The UNIS Gio Chinos Worth Your $200?
Welcome to a new series here on The Peak Lapel where we review some high end items — articles of clothing or accessories that cost quite a bit more than your average equivalent from your typical big box retailers like J Crew or Banana Republic — and then as the simple question: Is it worth the extra money? Because, when it comes to style and clothing, value is really the key question...
