Maybe something to wear to your presidential debate viewing party (Tuesday, October 15 or Monday, October 22nd)? Canvasing? Or perhaps election night? Here are some swank blue and red, Democratic and Republican (respectively) contrast, slim cut ties—limited edition from all-American designer Tommy Hilfiger—that are only available at Macy’s for $60 (Sorry online shoppers) And ok, while you might not want to advertise your political affiliation on top of your button up on the reg, this could be the start of sartorial tradition to incorporate into your political life come every election season.
We like to think of travel bags just as we do cars. Laugh if you will, but just like a car, you’re holding the strap (steering wheel), everyone’s looking at what you’re sporting (and, whether they say it or not, judging you by it), plus it has to fit, comfortably, some precious cargo (your stuff). Selecting the perfect bag takes work and means commitment. With that in mind, we invite you to click through to our selection of weekend warrior bags—bags that should be able to get you through anything from 24 hour jaunt to at least two days time away from your pad. Maybe you’ll find the “one” or maybe you’ll find a “few”. We found 17 that we’d have no problem working into our summer travel regimen.

Premium bridle leather and heavy gauge canvas are certain handsome matches to your stately wardrobe.
The endless wit of Scott meets the storied craftsmanship of Lonchamp on a plus sized canvas and leather tote that may or may not help you to refine your typing skills. Limited edition.
Distressed bags rock because you can kick them around without worry. Inside of this one you'll find multiple pockets and special slots for pens. Wait. Why is this bag on sale? Don't answer that. Just go buy it before someone else does.
This small Spanish company that hand-makes all their bags really kills it when it comes to handsome men's bags. We profiled the benson collapsable back in April (which you can see here and buy here), we're defaulting to our other fave. The vegetable dyed leather will age with grace and its got two inside pockets.
It may have wheels but by no means should you shove this gorgeous bag to the carry-on only zone. Its constructed of super durable 1800D poly, comes with zip pockets on both the interior and exterior and still handsomely exudes Tommy's brand of classic American sportswear.
That camo isn't just for show. Made from Cordorya nylon, lined in chlorofiber and waterproof zippers this is the bag you want when you really literally are playing the part of the weekend warrior.
Hey - remember our car analogy up top? Yup. Brooks Bro's knows the deal, especially with this convertible. Get there with nary a wrinkle on your clothing via garment bag, transport used clothes back in a duffle. Love.
Inspired by the spinnaker of a sail boat, roomy and lightweight, this is just the kind of bag you want when you know you're going to come home with way more than you brought.
Beach bums take note: Its got a an interior wet/dry pocket, a heavy-duty WDR-coated canvas and tarpaulin exterior that will protect your goods from the elements and it has hidden straps to transform it into a backpack.
Tumi! Stop it! If you're going to keep making such attractive bags (they recently launched their first designer collection a few month's back), we're gonna forget that you guys are also kings of practicality. Actually, don't stop at all. And please send us one of these Bedford collection bags in all three colorways. Please!
Go black instead of tanned to keep it sophisticated and understated. The rest? You don't need us to tell you how awesome a real Louis is. Unless you didn't know its made of opulent Damier Infini Leather.
This one's for the denim-heads—Black indigo/red selvage, body of repurposed US military issue shelter, military nylon webbing handles and military issue dead stock zipper and hand inserted copper rivets. Treat as you would your favorite pair of vintage jeans.
Maybe you're more familiar with Spades's messenger bags. If so, you should know about this duffle that's been made to stay as clean and sharp after tortuous use as it is the day you take it home.
All eyes will be on London this weekend as the city initiates its first ever men’s fashion week—called London Collections: Men. Being that this is the home of Saville Row, Dandyism, punk rock, Westwood, Bowie and plenty of other men’s style icons, its about time. Making this a truly international affair, top American designer, Tommy Hilfiger celebrated the launch with an exclusive cocktail event at newly re-opened venue The Scotch last night. The event was the first fashion event of the week following the St James Palace Royal Cocktail to officially kick off the first men’s fashion week in London. “I am delighted to be here in London to celebrate the first London Collections: Men. England is very close to my heart, and has always been a great source of inspiration to me and my brand as its the official birth place of preppy style. It’s an honor to be able to lend my support and celebrate the incredible talents in menswear design and I am proud to be one of several international brands who will be in the Capital to extend my support to London Collections: Mens on a global level.” said Tommy Hilfiger. Guests entered The Scotch, an oak-paneled venue steeped in musical heritage, through a private courtyard. DJ Mary Charteris and electro-pop band Hot Chip spun rock n’ roll-inspired beats while guests such as Petra Nemcova, Tali Lennox, Matthew Goode, Luke Treadaway and Portia Freeman mixed, mingled and lounged on velvet sofas. Others sat at tables famed for hosting The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, , icons who all performed at The Scotch in the 1960s. Tommy Hilfiger is one of the first to host an event in the newly re-opened space, which has just re-opened after a 20 year hiatus.
