Compression Socks

You don't need to travel as much as we do to include compression socks in your travel kit. They are essential for flying, helping your body to keep your blood flowing in your feet and legs while sitting on your ass for hours at a time. Many people wear them when working out, or if standing most of the day at work, too. We've tried many brands and VIM & VIGR is our new favorite. They offer multiple styles (regular socks, open-toe socks, leg sleeves) in three different knits—cotton, wool (our favorite) and moisture-wick nylon), various compression strength, and of these in many solid colors and patterns.

Word of Mouth: Downtown Portland

The urban oasis of Portland, Oregon is known for its natural beauty, award-winning restaurants, countless bridges and of course, tax-free shopping. But during the pandemic, like many mid-sized cities, its downtown area was hit hard as businesses shuttered and people sheltered in place. Now, thanks to ongoing citywide revitalization efforts and a devoted community with some serious hometown pride, downtown is officially back on the map. While the majority of city dwellers live across the Willamette River on the east side (Portland’s divided into quadrants—NE, SE, NW, SW), the downtown area where SW and NW converge boasts world-class art, delicious eats and new luxury lodging options like…...

Glenmorangie’s Harrison Ford Limited Edition

As a carpenter, actor, producer and pilot, Harrison Ford has worn many hats over his long career. Currently, he has traded Indiana Jones' famous fedora for an item of clothing he has only worn once before. “This is my second time in a kilt,” he says with a chuckle and that irresistible twinkle in his eyes that has made Ford an icon. “I practiced at home.” Ford dons this attire to celebrate the debut of the special edition Glenmorangie single malt he co-created with master distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden. Early in his career, as Ford drove a 1955…...

Josh and Evan gush over the Ferrari Luce’s interior

05/25/2026

Today Ferrari unveiled the Luce at the Vela di Calatrava in Rome, opening a new chapter in the marque’s history with its first all-electric series car. Five years in the making, it was designed with LoveFrom, the creative collective founded by designers Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson. The four-door, five-seat sports car represents the most radical aesthetic reset Maranello has ever attempted, while preserving the tactile, driver-focused soul that defines the Prancing Horse. At its core is an in-house 1050 cv (1036 hp / 772 kW) four-motor powertrain that delivers Ferrari’s driving experience while unlocking dynamics only an EV can produce. In fact, all of the Luce’s powertrain components, including the batteries, were designed in house. The exterior is a profound departure from anything in the current range and the interior refuses the touchscreen-dominated default of contemporary EV design in favor of precision-engineered mechanical controls. It is at once a provocation to longtime Ferrari devotees and an invitation to a new generation of clients—a car that asks what a Ferrari can become when freed from the architecture of the combustion engine. But make no mistake, it is a Ferrari first and foremost, and it promises to deliver the performance, handling and Forever Ferrari guarantee that has made the brand and its cars legendary.

El Apiario Honey

Jorge Mendez runs his family farm and apiary in the Huehuetenango region of Guatamala, high up in the mountains. His coffee, Finca El Apiario (Honeybee Farm) is a favorite of many roasters, and is named after his bees. Coffee Blossom Honey sells the honey from the farm, which is made primarily from the honeybee's main diet, coffee blossoms. It has a "subtle sweetness with delicate lavender notes" and naturally pairs well with tea and coffee.

Apple and Porsche: A Merging of the Titans

Apple Computer’s early brand graphics are etched into the psyches of a certaingeneration. The rainbow stripes, the stylized apple in profile with a bite chompedout—this is the stuff of design legend. That late 70s/early 80s design language eventually went the way of the iPod. But the Cupertino company’s retro graphics made a surprise cameo at the fourth round of IMSA’s race series at the historic WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Courtesy of Porsche Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Apple’s founding and Porsche’s 75th year in motorsports, the collaboration is remarkable because it combines two famously…...

Velocity Black and Remedy Place Are Reshaping Luxury Through Wellness

The contemporary luxury landscape is in the midst of a quiet but consequential reorientation. Access, that long-cherished currency of the well-appointed, has lost its edge. For today's accomplished consumer—fortunate in means, deliberate in how those means are spent—the ultimate indulgence has migrated toward something more interior: personal optimization, substantive education and the rarefied air of authentic human connection. This recalibration was vividly rendered at "Rituals of Renewal," a three-day wellness retreat hosted by Velocity Black, the tech-forward digital lifestyle concierge acquired by Capital One, in partnership with the social wellness club…...
