HIGH HORSE

It’s a Solid Weekend for Television All Around

This week, we’re stoked on Ballers, the show that’s piggybacking on Ballers and the return of our favorite depressed washed-up movie star horse. BoJack Horseman, it’s good to have you back.

SPOKE TOO SOON

Carhartt + Pelago Bicycles = Things You Want

Carhartt WIP and the classic bike makers over at Pelago Bicycles have something in the works. That something being a single-speed porteur bike, and the workman’s jackets, pocket tees and caps to go with it. It’s all happening.

PULLING RANK

We’ve Been Thinking Some Deep Thoughts. About Television.

We think it’s time to rethink the Emmy nominations in terms of the only thing that should truly matter: stylishness. Also, we’ve got some wild ideas for TV actors who are on this summer’s television free agency market. What, we’re the only ones who’d like to see what would happen if Jennifer Love Hewitt showed up on Orange Is the New Black?

CACHAÇA ME IF YOU CAN

Drinks to Drink Whilst Watching the Olympics

As you well know, the Olympics are taking place in Brazil next month. Which seems as good an excuse as any to whip up some drinks spiked with the country’s favorite liquor. Cue the cachaça-rum-banana cocktails...

GO FOR GOLD

Like the Emmys, but Not. We’re Calling These the Bingeys.

In the year of peak television, there’s so much content and so few Emmy noms to go around. In honor of the Hulus, the Amazons, the Netflixes and the other nonlinear programmers, we imagine a world in which actual TV shows aren’t eligible for Emmys.

STATE OF THE UNION

These, Here, Are Your Good Sales

Filson: Has got 50% off some handsome watches.
The Hill-Side: Is doing 40% off everything. Japanese pottery, hand-dyed tees, chinos... everything.
Unionmade: Is also on board with the 40% off thing.

WORN OUT

Well, NYFW:M Is Over. Here’s What We Learned.

We spent a lot of time at New York Fashion Week: Men’s last week. Enough time to learn that tunics are becoming more of a thing, bombers still abound and LA is coming for us all. Here’s everything you need to know.
