We are living in a golden age of T-shirts. Time to find the one that's just right for you.

I can't tell you how many times I've received an email from a new brand claiming to have "perfected" the T-shirt. It's always something like, "We tried every mainstream brand out there and just couldn't find the fit/finish/comfort/quality we wanted, so we decided to make it ourselves!" But this is a T-shirt we're talking about—how hard can it really be?
Here's the good news: We are in a golden age of T-shirts, and it began in 2022 with the arrival of FX's The Bear. As soon as Jeremy Allen White's Carmy Berzatto started doing his troubled muscled chef thing in a white crew-neck tee by the German brand Merz b. Schwanen, the menswear world went into meltdown, reframing the very notion of a T-shirt altogether. It was no longer just a basic cotton garment; it was now a luxury item with a rich, artisanal history, something you should spend good money on. A totem of good taste. |

In 1993, as a warmup for the World Cup soccer tournament to be played the following summer in the United States, I spent 13 days in Qatar. I did not like Qatar much and, after nearly two weeks, I was ready to swim home. There was something uncomfortably curious about the whole place. It seemed that the only real work the Qataris did was hiring Filipino kids to do the real work. They took us out into the desert to watch the camel races. The jockeys were all teenage boys or younger. I found this odd. Then, later, upon further research, I found this horrifying.
This, of course, was before the United States turned Qatar into an aircraft carrier. And it was decades before the Qataris decided to sublet a greedy bastard we elected president, who then launched a war of choice, setting loose every chicken that had been looking for a roost. |

Guys are so lonely that it's easier for them to imagine making friends with space aliens than it is to tell stories about forging deeply emotional bonds with other guys.
In Project Hail Mary Ryan Gosling and a crusty, faceless otherworldly creature he nicknames "Rocky" encounter each other in a distant solar system and combine their science knowledge to stop a star-devouring parasite from ending life in the known universe. It is science fiction, it's a buddy comedy, and it's also a kind of love story, arriving in theaters amid a bombardment of comparisons to another beloved movie about a human who makes an alien friend: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. |

 Every week, our editors are bombarded with press releases, showroom visits, try-ons—the amount of new products released into the world over seven days is dizzying. It's hard to sort through, but in the pile of consumerist crap, there are good things to be seen and bought. So, below you'll find our weekly column of items we think are actually good. Welcome to Best of the Week; the list spans home, lifestyle, and tech, but the lion's share any given week will likely be menswear. This week, the editors and I are talking Lucchese cowboy boots, a Fear of God leather jacket, and Apple's curious new MacBook release. —Luke Guillory, commerce editor
