FNF: Mike Alvarado versus Brandon Rios I

http://youtu.be/5MH8kq8wGOo
It's like Christmas Eve at For The Suits headquarters. Why you ask? The excitement could be down to the fact it's Friday night, or the three cups of tea slammed back one after the other. But if you're a boxing fan, you know exactly what is up. Tomorrow evening all us boxing heads are going to be treated to Mike Alvarado and Brandon Rios mixing it up in their second encounter. So the Friday Night Fight this evening is their first encounter in its entirety. It didn't last too long but they managed to pack about 24 rounds of action into the six it did last. If you had plans for tomorrow evening, cancel them.

Get Acquainted With Kamakura

A shirtmaker we have to hold up our hands and admit we didn't even know existed until one of our readers brought them to our attention is Kamakura. The company has been around for a number of years, based out of Japan with a store in New York City.

Our Thoughts on The Move

March 22, 2013. The day it all changed, for better or worse. A week ago today the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, announced that West Ham United Football Club had been chosen as tenants for the Olympic Stadium.

For The Suits Essentials: Reads

Now we normally cover clothing in these things, as regular readers will know. But we also enjoy some more shall we say, cerebral, pursuits. With that in mind we've decided to sort through the good, the bad and the ugly of the books on offer for those of a similiar ilk. We promise not to disappoint.

Brutus meets The Good Doctor, Round 2

Brutus is back with a second collaboration shirt with the bootmaker in all our hearts, Dr. Martens. After the atrocities they had released a few months ago, which we cleverly labelled Brutus Grimfit, they've come back strong with this beauty. All the details are there, including a collar that gives Brooks Brothers a run for their money, and pre sale orders are taken starting Friday. We have a feeling this one will be just as popular as the first go round.

For The Suits: Spring/Summer Guide

Could that be, the, the, the sun!?! Spring is just around the corner (not from where we're sitting mind you) and so it's time for another For The Suits season guide. You know the deal: we outline our personal favorites for the season and you run out and buy them. Or wear them if you already have the gear. We like to think so at least.

FNF: Ruben Olivares versus Chucho Castillo

What better accompaniment to our last piece that getting Friday Night Fights back on track by showcasing one of the grittiest matchups in the storied career of Ruben Olivares. It's April of 1970 and the Inglewood Forum is once again a showcase for fanatical Mexican-American boxing fans and two of their favorite sons. Only this time they were to step into the ring and do battle with each other. The fans had rioted when Castillo lost a split decision to Lionel Rose and went nearly as mad when Olivares defeated Rose by a fifth round KO. No easy pick for them here. It was as close in the ring as it was in their hearts.
