I recently picked up golfing again after a few years away from the links. Getting back into the game has been a fun and slightly embarrassing experience. My family and friends who play have been more than patient with me as I shake off some rust. One of the big reasons that I enjoy the game, despite my skill level, is that it's fairly relaxing. Over the past few weeks, I have put Kentwool's new socks to the test on and off the course. And yes... I even wore them at Top Golf Atlanta. Here's what … [Read more...]

I get it—it's convenient, use what you have. But wouldn’t he prefer more stylish, grown-up options? I will definitely be passing these ideas on to him … [Read more...]

All valid factors—for a college student. Needless to say, it was time for me to intervene.With dipping temps and our impending trip up north, an … [Read more...]
Spring/Summer Essentials: Costa Del Mar
Spring is probably my favorite time of the year to live in Georgia. Baseball season is in full swing, the pollen is receding and Atlanta's population is flocking to the multitude of porches and outdoor festivals around the city. All of this outdoor fun makes a good pair of sunglasses an essential part of your wardrobe. Lucky for me, Costa Del Mar asked if I would review their new "Cut" frames. I know Costa has a stellar reputation for making quality sunglasses for fisherman and sportsmen, so I … [Read more...]

What to Wear to…The Water

If it's got water, it's time we're in it, folks.Personally, I love a short inseam on swim trunks, 5'' being perfect on just about every guy (in my opinion). Though, if you're brave enough to sport a 4'', you'll make me smile a very platonic smile as I admire your bravery and man thighs. And for the "bros" who spend most of their time on the water on a board of some sort, no, you don't have to shop at PacSun. Options for everyone, … [Read more...]
