A watch is a great way to finish off your look. Not only can watches be a lifesaver to those in the military, but they are a staple in a gentleman’s daily carry and wear. I own both the Auto Pilot and Valor from NFW and they are nothing short of rugged, dependable and bad-ass, which is why we chose them […]

The Dopp Kit: A Necessity for Every Man
The term Dopp Kit confuses a lot of people, but when it comes down to it, it’s just a bag to keep accessories organized when traveling, such as toiletries and other smaller items. Where did the term Dopp kit come from? Dopp kit is a term particularly in use in the US for toiletry bags. The name […]
State and Liberty Clothing: Athletic fit, performance fabric dress clothes
I’m a big fan of the TV series Suits. The main character, Harvey Specter, is known for his confidence, tenacity and sometimes arrogance. Harvey does not worry about what others think of him, In fact, most of the time, he uses that negativity as an advantage against them. One common thread you’ll see through the […]
Watch: The 25 best man caves
Man caves. Cigar shed, gun room, home FOB, hideout. While they go by many names, the intent of all is the same: a space to relax in that provides an environment dripping with testosterone. A spot to showcase (and store) your guns, gear, hobbies, cigars or golf clubs. A big screen with surround sound ready […]

The Oasis for Villains: A party John Wick would have attended
During our time in Las Vegas for SHOT Show, we co-hosted the Oasis for Villains party with several other companies. The venue was at the 2810 private gated resort house. Upon walking up to the driveway we had to show proof of our rsvp and then we were granted access to walk up to the […]
NFW Operation Enduring Warrior AutoPilot: A watch with a story
The Operation Enduring Warrior watch by NFW is by far one of my favorite timepieces to wear. It’s not because of any fancy movements or materials used. The reason is the story behind it and what the watch symbolizes to me. To me, the term ‘Enduring Warrior’ signifies someone enduring the effects of combat and/or the […]
Johnny Slicks: Grooming essentials for the refined gentleman
I’ve personally purchased and tried just about all the products that Johnny Slicks produces. Known for their handcrafted organic beard oil and pomade, they have a few other products too. Out of their full line of products the two I use on a daily basis are the beard oil and pomade. No, I do not have a […]
Quick look at the Crate Club everyday carry leather tray
A key point to highlight with our everyday carry leather tray and others is the preparedness mindset. This leather tray is a visual reminder every day to be prepared and vigilant. Just as the military stages their gear for operations, we as civilians need to have our daily gear staged so that we’re prepared and ready each […]
NFW Watch Company FireFighter tribute watch
There’s no doubt that we firefighters love to represent who we are and what we do without looking tacky with the, “I fight what you fear”, BS. Oftentimes though, I find that gear made to showcase the fire service is either for full casual or straight work and usually cheaply made, until now. NFW is a company […]
