Tentree Hands-on Review: Eco-Friendly Clothes with Character

2 weeks ago | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

Clothing brand Tentree’s eco-focus is commendable, but are the clothes as stylish and well-made as they are sustainable? And how modest-man-friendly are they? Do any other elder millennials out there remember when the phrase “tree-hugger” was derogatory? I’m glad times have changed. You don’t need to be an activist to agree on the importance of the environment, particularly trees. Even clothing brands have gotten on board, likely as a response to fast fashion. Tentree is one of those brands.
Madras Plaid: The Nantucket Aesthetic by Way of India

3 weeks ago | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

Bold and distinct, plaid madras is associated with American prep. How did that happen, though? And can you pull it off sans the country club connotations? Madras plaid has always loomed large in my life. The patchy design is both relevant and nostalgic for me. See, my Connecticut-bred parents and I summered in Nantucket, where madras is a staple. Just out of habit, plaid shorts are my go-to for beachwear. I understand that it’s a polarizing style, though.
A Transitional Spring Asket Review: Sustainable and Stylishly Modest-Man-Friendly

1 month ago | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

I’ve been wearing clothes from the environmentally minded Asket brand. They deliver on their brand promises and are (mostly) short-guy-friendly—but are they for you? I’m a fan of slow fashion. Who isn’t? Why not have less clutter on the planet? And believe me, though I don’t participate in it, I understand the market for fast fashion. I never want to judge people who are on a budget but need clothes.

1 month ago | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

Is Bespoke Post good? Of course. But what about their home-grown clothing line, Line of Trade? Here’s all you need to know, including if it’s right for men of modest height. I’ve always been a fan of the subscription box company Bespoke Post. I often rave over their ability to curate men’s lifestyle products from under-the-radar brands (purveyors of cool, I call them). Beyond that, they’ve also taken a shot at a few of their own in-house labels.
Taylor Stitch’s Strapping Style & The Tie Bar’s Fun Classics: A Review

2 months ago | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

I test-drove clothes from Taylor Stitch (and not just shirts) and The Tie Bar (including a non-tie). Do they continue to deliver? And how modest-man-friendly are these pieces? Read on! Purpose-built clothes are the heart of men’s style. Taylor Stitch and The Tie Bar understand this concept. They both offer comprehensive lines but start with a focus on one thing: shirting and ties, respectively.

2 months ago | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

Do you love a good hike? I do, too. That said, it’s important to have the proper gear and accessories. Here are the best shoes for hiking for men. As someone who grew up in California, let me tell you. Hiking was a way of life. Whether at Runyon Canyon or Griffith Park, my friends and I hiked every weekend. Even now that I live in a place with seasons, winter doesn’t stop me from hitting the trails.

The best watches for the military are also some of the best everyday watches for men. They’re practical and available at every price point. Here are our choices!

In fact, it’s thanks to soldiers that men even wear wristwatches today (more on that in a moment).

2 months ago | themodestman.com | Brock McGoff

Are you looking for the best watches for small wrists? Are you sick of oversized, bulky watches that look way too big for you? If so, you’re in the right place! Many agree that a watch that’s too big for your wrist is glaringly unsightly. An oversized watch makes your hands and arms look smaller and weaker than they are. Let’s face it: no guy wants to look like a kid wearing his dad’s watch. It’s one of the main reasons why wearing a watch for small wrists is important.
What Shoes To Wear With Linen Pants: A Thorough Men’s Guide

2 months ago | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

You can fully transform linen outfits for men with the footwear you pair with them. Today’s guide on men’s shoes to wear with linen pants will show you how. I’m a fan of linen and linen-like fabrics — bamboo and silk blends, for example. It’s because I’m not big on overly casual clothes or overly formal clothes. I prefer a broken suit over a solid one and chinos over, say, sweatpants. The flax-based material is the perfect balance of comfortable effortlessness and elegance.
Best Sunglasses for Driving: Top Picks for Safety

Feb 7, 2025 | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

Safety is the most important factor when getting behind the wheel. That’s why we’ve rounded up the best men’s driving sunglasses. Living in New York, I don’t actually get to use my car that often. Perhaps this is why when I do get to hit the road, I’m almost paranoid when it comes to safety. I check all my mirrors several times. I make sure all passengers are wearing their seatbelts. Heck, I won’t even get behind the wheel if I’ve had even a sniff of beer or wine.
