Heads up! Huckberry is running their annual sale, 15% off almost everything (very rare for this shop...it's not like H&M where everything is always on sale).
Here are a few picks, most of which I actually own:
- Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket - prf.hn/l/q3lpWvn/
- New Balance 990v6 - prf.hn/l/3PqgM89/
- 365 5 Pocket Pant - prf.hn/l/BJDEo32/ (I prefer the straight fit, which is kinda slim)
- Greys Wool Outdoor Mule - prf.hn/l/KNOq3nM/
- Ten Thousand Interval Short - prf.hn/l/rwP3AoY/
- Proof 72 Hour Wool Tee - prf.hn/l/QLGW83g/
FYI these are affiliate links. Enjoy!

Wow AI me is creepy (but also much more well-rested, apparently...drop the skincare routine 😂)

Just another example of how small watches look classy on big wrists (from Channing Tatum's recent Hot Ones appearance).

I've gotten a few questions about the bracelet I'm always wearing. It's a 4mm sterling silver box chain from John Hardy (via Farfetch, where it sells for like $200 less than MSRP).
I like it because it works with any level of formality and any other accessories, from casual to dressy. I wear it with swim trunks and suits.
You can find all different varieties of the metal chain bracelet: different metals, colors, chain style and widths.
If you're curious, I wrote a bit more about this bracelet in this week's newsletter, which you can read for free right here - brock-mcgoff.kit.com/posts/my-favorite-bracelet-go…
And here's a link to the exact bracelet I wear - rstyle.me/+fn54_EfkyS7KGonR_rUBzA (size S works for my 6.25" wrist)

🙋🏻♂️ "Is this watch too big for my wrist?" <-- I hear that question all the time!
So, I created a simple Watch Size Calculator you can use to find the perfect size range for your wrist --> watchsizeguide.com/
Do me a favor: try it out for yourself and let me know what you think? I want to dial it in so it's just right.
Of course, watch size isn't *only* about case diameter. So, on that same page, I included a bunch of extra info about watch sizing and dimensions.
Let me know what you think!
