Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Tech 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.

Originally released in 1982, the aptly named Nike Field General was originally designed for wear by pro quarterbacks. While we doubt we'll see any current QBs rocking them anytime soon, they are a solid choice for casual wear. The upper is a mix of durable textile and suede, with a touch of leather used for the heel cap and Swoosh. A foam midsole offers reasonable comfort, while the nubby Waffle sole provides outstanding grip, and might make these a sleeper choice for wear on the golf course. A variety of colorways range from subtle to bold, ensuring there's a version of the retro silhouette to fit your style.
