Is anyone else noticing more zyn accessories lately?  From the golf course to a night out, it’s completely normalized and brands are finding ways help you avoid your looking like you have a hockey puck in your pocket. 

In this issue:

After two decades of backpacks and totes taking over menswear, Mr Porter makes the case that the leather briefcase belongs again, not as a relic of corporate monotony, but as the accessory that actually elevates an outfit, tailored or casual.

First Tee is building a golf course where the only membership requirement is being a kid. The new nine-hole course in Charleston, designed by Brian Schneider and Troy Miller, flips the usual rule: adults can only play if a kid brings them. It's part of a $14 million capital campaign already past 70% of its goal. Genuinely great story.

Multiple outlets are reporting GM is reviving the body-on-frame Jimmy for 2029 as a real Bronco and Wrangler competitor, likely built on the Canyon platform. GMC hasn't settled on retro or modern styling yet, but the rumors point toward the classic '60s-'70s look.

Round tins are bulky. They rattle in your pocket, they've got a cheap plastic ring, and let's be honest, nobody's pocket looks good with one in it. SLYD ditched the tin entirely. Their leather pouch case holds a full tin's worth (15+ pouches), snaps shut with a magnetic closure, and sits flat instead of printing through your jeans.

The leather options (Smooth Black, Midnight Blue Pebbled) are the move if you want this to disappear into your everyday carry. If you want it to say something, the Golf Flag Needlepoint is the one for your bag.

$39 each, with real bundle pricing if you're buying for the group: 2-pack at $35 each, 4-pack at $30 each, free shipping on 2+.

Clean colorway, dependable everyday golf shoe. Not flashy, just does the job.

TaylorMade forged the Hi-Toe for the first time ever, from soft carbon steel, and the result completes their forged wedge family alongside the MG5. Full-face saw-milled grooves, five sole grinds, the highest CG of any wedge they've made. If your short game needs a spin upgrade this fall, start here.

A 37mm French tool-watch that's earned real praise from Hodinkee, Fratello, and Time+Tide, not just Instagram hype. Automatic Miyota movement, 150m water resistance, double-domed sapphire. This is what "affordable and actually good" looks like in watches.
