Remember back in the day when men were men, mustaches were cool, gas was cheap and muscle cars ruled the roads? Motorbrand USA does, and lets you relive those days with their retro-styled tees that pay homage to the muscle cars of yesteryear.
If there was a car that got mullet-sporting, jean jacket-wearing guys laid - like the Chevy Nova SS, the Chevelle or the big Dodge Hemis - they've got a shirt honoring it. Along with shirts sporting classic designs like Clay Smith's Mr. Horsepower and Ed Roth's Rat Fink.
They'll almost make you forget about that gas sipping, four-cylinder econo-box you have to drive now. Almost.
From around $18

The guys over at Attus Apparel have done it again. Recently added to their line of
unconventional polos for nonconformist guys, is The Polisher.
This slightly distressed, 100% cotton pique knit celebrates working single moms - and girls just trying to "put themselves through law school" - with the embroidered silhouette of an "exotic dancer" working her favorite prop, the pole.
Show your support for these enterprising young women by wearing it playing golf, around campus, or to your favorite shake shack. It's Champagne Room compliant.
Comes in Pitch Black, Man Pink and Panty White

Right after "Sense of Humor", "A Huge Wallet" and "Six-Pack Abs", women rank "Nice Ass" as the most important attribute they look for in a man. So what if your ass is flatter than the waiting room at a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon's office? You could do squats till your knees give out. Or - and you should be bitch-slapped for even thinking this - just stuff your boxer briefs.
But now, thanks to the miracle of modern sewing, there's Flashback. Created by designer Andrew Christian, these cotton and spandex briefs have no embarrassing padding or cups. (Not that considering any kind of ass-enhancing underwear isn't embarrassing on its own.) Rather, right back there in the back end region, an "invisible lifting support" is built into the seams. That's designer-speak for "Two. Really. Tight. Elastic. Bands. Pulling. Your. Ass. Up." At the expense of ball comfort.
But on the bright side, your ass will gain 1/2" to 1" of chick-attracting roundness. Thank God breathing is less important than having buns of steel.
$29.00 per pair.

Unless you've been doing time in a Turkish prison for the last year, you know that the sport jacket has made a comeback. They're appearing on the backs of guys in restaurants, clubs, casinos... even in coffee shops, dressed down over a t-shirt or hoodie.
While there's nothing wrong with buying off the rack - if you don't mind a pucker here or a wrinkle there - for true fit you'll want to have a jacket custom made to your unique frame. Unfortunately, many of us aren't packing enough wallet to do that. But the guys over at
DressMonkey.com are making it easier, and more affordable, for us regular guys to rock a bespoke jacket.
They'll let you pick the fabric, pick the size, and pick the style - without picking your pocket. (Actually you do get to pick your pockets, but you know what I mean.) You can go one- two- or three-button. Choose peaked lapels or notched. With or without a lining. Even add a little leather under the collar. Whatever fits your personal style.
Since it's a good bet you're not a fashion designer, they have dozens of suggestions - along with pics and detailed descriptions - to

LA Pop Art, creators of movie and music posters made using "micrography" to produce images from words (I posted about them
here), are unleashing their technique on t-shirt design.
They've got five new shirts designed using handwritten dialog from some of the most popular scenes from the movie
Scarface. Unforgettable lines like Tony's "Say goodnight to the bad guy" speech, his classic drug-and-bullet fueled "Say hello to my little friend" rant as he attempts to defend his empire, and even his unique brand of advice: "This country you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money you get the power, then when you get the power then you get the women." They're not only fashionable, they're functional.

Layering is a winter sports fact of life. Except a lot of the available performance layers look lame. Especially in the lodge après-ski, when you're sidling up to the snow bunnies. That's when you'll want something that not only looks good, but handles sweat and odor control.
Snowboard industry veteran and innovator, Stephan Cleary who launched Burton's Anon goggles and Learn-to-Ride program, noticed that a lot of people weren't wearing performance layers, but were opting for cotton shirts and hoodies. Which may look better and keep you reasonably warm on the slopes and while mountain biking, but have the unfortunate characteristic of holding in moisture and odors. So Cleary developed Eesa, high-tech performance apparel that has all the properties you look for in technical layers, but with a street-wear look.
Made with the moisture-wicking, anti-microbial, quick-drying fabrics you want in high performance layering apparel, Eesa's clothes are patterned after striped polos and rugby shirts, graphic tees, henley's and club-worthy button-downs. Made for keeping you warm on the slopes all day, and looking cool in the lodge after. While you and your snow bunny of choice discuss how the other guys all look like they're dressed in their PJs.

If you dig the polo look (and on the rare occasion even pop the collar when you're feeling a little "Kanye"), but Ralph's horse and Lacoste's croc feel a little too conformist or too "Connecticut" for you, check out these shirts from Attus Apparel.
Launched this year, Attus makes top-quality, embroidered polos for guys who want to make a statement with their clothes. A loud statement. There's The Jerk (main pic), for when you feel like giving the world the finger, The Sid unleashes your inner punk rocker, and The Shredder is perfect for the chairman of the (snow)board. You may have cut your hair and taken a corporate job, but The Hesher lets everyone know you're still a hard-rocking, head-banging, 80's hair band fan. Don't head out for a night of hard partying without wearing The Hangover. (And comes in Blood Shot Red.) Finally, The 40 let's your homies know those little 12 ouncers won't cut it when you're at the party.
All Attus polos are cut for a slim fit and are made of 100% cotton that's been

One of the hottest clothing lines right now is Compton, CA based and artist-owned
True Love & False Idols. Their men’s tops push beyond anything you've seen before, with innovative, all-over prints of graffiti-inspired art covered in color washes and the occasional embellishment.
Seen on the backs of club DJs, celebs like Jamie Foxx and MMA fighters Chuck Liddell Bas Rutan and Randy Couture, TL&FI shirts and hoodies work by themselves for weekend wear, or with a jacket on top for a night at the club.
Not your typical printed t-shirts, their first season of designs "tended toward a wild, stream-of-consciousness, overdesigned look... built around such themes as glittery idolatry, weaponry, redemption, desire, and the love of good hard music." (Cool. Can't wait for next season.)
Prices range from $50-$85 for their top-quality tees, but a couple of you will get this look free, right from TL&FI themselves, when two winners are chosen on Friday, Dec 21 to win a select TL&FI t-shirt. (Style may vary from the pic shown.)
But ya gotta be in it to win it, so
