Columbia Sportswear - Quality UnmatchedWritten by Johann Erickson
Nothing says quality, better than name Columbia on your sportswear. Known for its durability, style, and detail to manufacturing, Columbia jackets, mens clothing, backpacks and boots have come to signify very best in outdoor wear and accessories.
Columbia Sportswear for Men
Jackets that will take you from slopes to office, are name of game. The Columbia Quadra 365 parka is just one of many styles that will keep you dry and warm in teeth of Old Man Winter. The storm-dry shell is waterproof, yet breathable, giving you outerwear that can shed moisture while not overheating your body. Its MTR (maximum thermal retention) liner is quick-drying for a quick wash, and non-pilling as well. Wear it in any one of three ways: shell alone, shell with liner, liner alone. Columbia’s versatile and classic parkas also include Garnet Bowl, Falmouth, and Trickster. When you get a chance to head for great outdoors, pair your Columbia parka with Teton Ridge ski pants for men. The 100% polyester shell, and fleece liner, with full-length side zippers, shake off water, and hold in heat. And don’t forget Columbia Boundary Peak gloves. The nylon taslan construction and fiberfill insulation make sure your hands are as dry and warm as rest of you.
Be street ready and dressed in style under your Columbia jacket and ski pants. Columbia’s famous ROC pants come in three colors, and feature two front slash pockets, one side security zip pocket and two back pockets with Velcro closures. They sit naturally at waist, are relaxed at seat and thigh, and straight-legged. Match them up Columbia Lewisville twill shirt, Crooked River long sleeve crew, or Columbia’s Wilson Canyon Waffle crew, and you’re good to go.
| | Dockers - For that Professional Casual LookWritten by Johann Erickson
When Levi Strauss began manufacturing riveted pants we now call “jeans” in 1870s, they were originally made from a material then known as “jean”, a cotton, linen and/or wool blend material that had evolved somewhat since it was imported to America in late 1700s. But demand for tougher, and longer lasting pants is what made his company switch to true denim, which has always been a cotton blend. The first Levis were stuff of working men, hard riding cowboys, and served many who worked in jobs that were hard on their clothes.
But original material jean, (which some people think is origin of name for casual denim pants) was still around. So were pants and other clothing made from Genoan weave. Jean was worn by men who could afford a slightly better cloth that had lasting quality, and which looked nicer. It wasn’t quite dress-up material, but came very close.
Levi Strauss continued to manufacture their trademarked jeans well into 21st century, when other companies began challenging for a share of market. The Strauss company then began expanding its product line, and in a flashback to success of 1800s, brought out its Dockers line of pants, striking a medium comfort zone between their casual jeans and suit or dress pants.
Today, Dockers produces a full range of mens and womens pants, along with a new line of shoes, belts and accessories.

Industry watchers estimate that up to three-quarters of American men have at least one pair of Dockers khaki pants in their closet, and it’s easy to see why. Dockers Mens Classic Fit pants come in pleated khaki, khaki pleated and cuffed, flat front khaki, pleated khaki for big and tall, and flat front khaki for big and tall. The clean lines and detailed tailoring, offer a dressed-up and dressed down look that will take you almost anywhere. And to complete a really snappy outfit, you can pair them with Dockers Essential Mens Polo Shirt, or Dockers Mens Essential Twill Shirt.
