If you're the kind of guy who raises his eyebrows at the thought of getting botox, we've got news for you: All that eyebrow raising is carving wrinkles ever deeper into your forehead. Kind of a catch-22, no? Luckily, the idea of getting injections to reduce muscle movement and smooth your skin isn't as shocking to most men as it was, say, a decade ago. You almost certainly know someone who's getting it done every three or four months, even if he won't cop to it. Which is why we pulled together a guide to getting it done, covering everything from the cost, to the types of injectables, to the red flags you should look out for to ensure your eyebrows don't wind up looking like they belong to a cartoon villain. Read up, then venture forth to freeze your face with confidence. – Jonathan Evans, style director |

Before you schedule an injection, read this. |
There's a strange moment that happens the first time you watch botox kick in. One day you're squinting at your reflection and see the familiar lines crease across your forehead. A few days later, you raise your eyebrows and…nothing. The skin stays put. It's subtle, even anticlimactic, but it's also the clearest proof that the world's most famous "anti-wrinkle injection" isn't magic or mystery. Among my own peers, botox is either beloved or maligned, but I find that those in the latter camp have never given it a try. Sure, it can cost a lot (depending on a variety of factors), but wow, does it work. And it's not just for forehead vanity, either. Surely you have questions. Heck, I'm a longtime botox convert and even I have questions as new options enter the market (and new use cases unfold…yes, I'm looking at you, scrotox). Read for a deep dive on botox, how it works, where it goes, and how deep into your wallet it might dig. |

As with anything military-inspired, we're inclined tell you the best version of a B-3 bomber is real, genuine military surplus. The problem is that original B-3 bomber jackets aged like milk sitting out on the counter. The military stopped issuing the jacket during World War II—it was already getting phased out by 1943—and those that were issued almost all saw use with high-altitude bomber crews, so that's part of the problem. But the real issue is that sheepskin—both a leather and a fur product—really degrades if you don't care for it or invest in good quality materials. Even if it sat in a closet or barn for decades, any issued B-3 bomber is likely in a state of disintegration today. Who, in 2026, makes the best B-3 bomber? For my money, it's Overland. There's no shortage of B-3 reproductions and riffs out there. But the thing is they're expensive, prohibitively so. You can easily spend $1,500 on a jacket made to replicate the old WWII specs. (I won't waste time on all the synthetic dupes that you can buy for $200.) But Overland still sells its classic B-3 replica for $800, a steal in this world, and it's up to the quality of everything else out there. We've already written plenty about this jacket; it's phenomenal. But it still ate at me. What makes it so damn good while staying under that $1,000 price point? Why is Overland seemingly the only company that can hit that mid-tier price? |

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is ready to reveal all about his new role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe … but just hold on a second. "This Avengers trailer just came out," he says, turning his phone to face the Zoom camera so we both can watch. As the video plays, Letitia Wright strides forth in her gold and turquoise Black Panther outfit, while she and Winston Duke's King M'Baku of Wakanda cross a desolate landscape to shake hands with The Thing from The Fantastic Four. Wonder Man is not the typical superhero tale, however. The series is branded under the offshoot Marvel Spotlight, and it's more of a dark showbiz satire than a straight-up action adventure. Think Bill Hader in Barry, if the wannabe performer was a supercharged energy manipulator rather than a hitman. "What I like about what we're doing here is that we're telling a story about an everyday joe. He's a guy who has superpowers, but he doesn't want anyone to know. Simon wants to be seen as an actor," Abdul-Mateen II says. "I really appreciate that Marvel has the guts to put out a show that doesn't look like Avengers, that doesn't look like anything else in the MCU. We shot it indie style. It's set in a world that looks like the world outside your door." |
