Dyson Canceled Electric Car Project

Dyson's battery-powered vacuums are very good. So it made sense when Sir James said he was going to use the knowledge gained from building those to make an electric car. Only it didn't work out. In an interview with The Times, Dyson revealed the car and admitted he'd sunk over $600 million into the project. With a range of over 600 miles and a 0-60 time under five seconds, the SUV-like vehicle would have been strong competition for Tesla and other electric car makers, but unfortunately, each one would have needed to sell for nearly $185,000 just to break even. Dyson said he plans to keep all the employees that were working on the project, instead dispersing them throughout the company including working on batteries he hopes to sell to other automakers.

Bombas Socks

Since their launch over ten years ago, Bombas has been dedicated to making high-quality clothing — first just socks, now tees, underwear, and more — while providing the same essentials to people in need. This holiday season, they're offering up to 15% off select packs while donating an essential clothing item to those in need for each item purchased. From Performance ankle and no-show socks to slippers and boxer briefs, their men's line has you covered, and there are options for ladies and kids. Their gift boxes remove the need to wrap — socks don't play well with wrapping paper, after all — and new customers can save an additional 25% off all socks, with free shipping for orders $125 and up.

Jack Archer Jetsetter Pants

Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Now available in two cuts: the original, best-selling Slim Fit and the new Straight Fit, which offer a roomier fit from the knee down.
