Pace Breaker Short - Lulu Lemon

Alright, gents - I know what you're thinking. Lulu Lemon? You've got to be kidding me. Trust me - I thought the same thing. Then, I spontaneously tried these shorts on after noticing that they were on sale. I haven't taken them off since. The fabric is soft and extra stretchy, and they have a built-in liner made from breathable, sweat-wicking LYCRA (so think somewhere between full compression and regular boxer briefs). I took this to mean that underwear is optional, although this has yet to be confirmed, so it's almost like going commando without actually going commando. Do yourself a favor and check them out. If you hurry, they may still be on sale!

Book: 100 Deadly Skills

This guide by Clint Emerson (a retired Navy SEAL) is a welcomed addition to coffee tables across the country as it is sure to spark some interesting conversations. At first glance, it may seem a bit far-fetched, but once you peel back the cover and start reading you realize the usefulness of many of Clint's ideas. While "Steal a Plane" and "Dispose of a Body" may not be very high on your list of priorities, skills like "Pick a Lock" and "Survive an Active Shooter" can always be useful and even life-saving in the case of the latter.

When looking for a weekender, we usually prefer canvas, its versetile, strong, flexible, and if you end up putting it down in a puddle by accident you can toss it in the wash. This weekender is owned by two of us here at WhatIsAGentleman, and we like it, a lot. and at a price point under $300 its pretty much a steal.
