Among the more perplexing trendlets we've scrolled past this year is "rawdogging," the act of denying oneself all forms of entertainment for the length of a long-haul flight. No books or games or movies or naps for our rawdoggers; instead, the guys—always guys, only guys—stare straight ahead at the flight map or the seat back of the person in front of them, spending the whole time lost either in thought or in search of a good one. As with all trendlets, there's no way of knowing whether it's real or just six goobers on TikTok with the same dumb idea. But it gained traction because it feels real. In a year when guys tried to out-guy each other via Cybertruck purchases and diss tracks, isn't it more plausible than ever that they'd try to one-up each other at nothing? |

Late Tuesday night, we saw a vivid demonstration of the difference between a charismatic political event and the gathering of a cult. Michelle and Barack Obama delivered back-to-back addresses to the Democratic National Convention that were rich in insight and passion, and that further moved an audience that by all rights should have been exhausted before either Obama took the stage. This may have been because these were two different Obamas—tougher, battle-hardened, and infinitely more familiar with the forces aligned against them than they were when we first met the two of them back in 2004. Oh, and Barack made a dick joke, too. |

Every guy needs a good chore coat. That feels like a style rule born of the #menswear "Dudes dressing themselves and posting about it in online forums," era, but it's something I believe in. And I don't believe it on trend-chasing grounds. I'm not really interested in every one of y'all pulling on chore jackets, beanies, and Red Wings again. I believe it because there's not a more versatile piece of menswear out there. Nothing else is as functional, and nothing else looks so good on a wide swath of men. When I'm tackling the question of which brand of chore coat to get, I default to my usual answer. Go for the classic version. In this case, that's the French brand Le Mont St. Michel, who has been making this jacket since 1913. |
