Donald Gibb dead: ‘Revenge of the Nerds,’ ‘Bloodsport’ actor was 71

Published by Sam Flores

Donald Gibb, the actor who played the hulking fraternity bro Ogre in “Revenge of the Nerds” and Ray “Tiny” Jackson in “Bloodsport,” has died. He was 71. Gibb’s son Travis confirmed his father’s death to TMZ on Tuesday evening after he died earlier that day at home in Texas surrounded by family. Gibb, a former professional wrestler under the name “Don Gibb,” succumbed to “health complications,” according to his son. A statement from the family, provided to People, described Gibb as a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, friend and actor. “Known for his larger-than-life presence on screen and his kindness off screen, he brought joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories to countless people throughout his life and career,” the statement said. “Above all else, Donald treasured his faith and the people he loved,” it continued. “His strength, generosity, and spirit will never be forgotten by those who had the privilege of knowing him personally and by the many fans whose lives he touched over the years.” “Bloodsport” star Jean-Claude Van Damme remembered Gibb in an Instagram …

4 New-School Japanese Brands Menswear Nerds Can’t Stop Talking About

4 New-School Japanese Brands Menswear Nerds Can’t Stop Talking About

Published by Jenni Sidey

In menswear, America-by-way-of-Japan is a well-traveled route. (If there was a literal pipeline funneling vintage clothing straight from US closets to Japanese brands, it probably wouldn’t make the process any more efficient.) What hasn’t always been all that efficient, though, is buying those gems once they hit the shelves in the US—especially the newer stuff. And while most of the heavy hitters—OrSlow, Kapital, Blue Blue Japan, et al.—are still crushing as hard as ever, there’s an entirely new class that’s matriculated over the course of the past decade. For instance, A.Presse is making some of the sickest workwear homages you can find, sticking true to the source material but not the source materials. Or Auralee, which is the kind of brand you could wear exclusively and never tire of and, on a piece-by-piece basis, will work with any existing wardrobe I can fathom. Or Kaptain Sunshine, which has been an S-tier IYKYK pick for over a decade, but recently got a foothold in the US. Or Ssstein, which makes baggy pants better than just about …

Vintage Nerds, Abercrombie Has Finally Heard Our Cries

Vintage Nerds, Abercrombie Has Finally Heard Our Cries

Published by Jenni Sidey

The mall-brand renaissance has admittedly cooled off over the last six months, but it’s still one of the most reliable ways to pop into a store and cop solid basics for the low. One label that continues to serve up some of the best cropped hoodies and one of the most affordable yet genuinely stylish topcoats is Abercrombie & Fitch. While those pieces are seemingly printing money for the masses, it’s the brand’s discreet sprinkling of vintage-inspired drops under the A&F Archive moniker that’ll pull in the more discerning guy. Now, I’ll admit, A&F and “archive” don’t exactly roll off the tongue when you think back to the early aughts. You might start picture dimly lit storefronts, bare-chested greeters braving Midwestern winters, pungent cologne pumping through the vents, and those racy Bruce Weber–shot quarterly catalogs. Don’t worry—no one’s asking for that cinematic universe to return. This revival is about bringing back the heavy hitters, not the haze. With Y2K and ’90s nostalgia still leading the charge, plus a growing cohort of stylist-obsessed A&F collectors, now …

Robert Carradine, Lizzie McGuire And Revenge Of The Nerds Star, Dies Aged 71

Published by Sam Flores

Robert Carradine, known to a generation of viewers as Lizzie McGuire’s father in the hit Disney sitcom, has died at the age of 71. On Monday evening, Robert’s family announced that he had taken his own life, following what they described as a “nearly two-decade battle with bipolar disorder”. The family said in a statement to Deadline: “It is with profound sadness that we must share that our beloved father, grandfather, uncle and brother Robert Carradine has passed away. “In a world that can feel so dark, Bobby was always a beacon on light to everyone around him. We are bereft at the loss of this beautiful soul and want to acknowledge Bobby’s valiant struggle against his nearly two-decade battle with bipolar disorder. “We hope his journey can shine a light and encourage addressing the stigma that attaches to mental illness. At this time we ask for the privacy to grieve this unfathomable loss. With gratitude for your understanding and compassion.” Robert Carradine pictured in 2016 Robert’s brother Keith added: “We want people to know …

7 In-House Brands the Real Menswear Nerds Are Buying

7 In-House Brands the Real Menswear Nerds Are Buying

Published by Jenni Sidey

Some of the hottest in-house brands right now are quietly hiding in plain sight, mixed in on the racks of the world’s best multi-label shops. Whether you’re digging through designers IRL or toggling between fifty-eleven tabs at 1 a.m., you’ve probably stumbled onto a name you’ve never heard of, only to realize it’s exclusive to that one retailer. That’s the magic trick of in-house brands: clothes sold under a retailer’s own name, produced by a third party, and often very, very good. Typically, it starts with shop owners building long-standing relationships with the brands they carry. From there, collaborations creep in, lessons are learned, and suddenly they’ve got a strong handle on where the best denim comes from, who actually knows knitwear, and which country absolutely nails outerwear. Not to go full Menswear MBA on you, but private labels give retailers control over branding, design, pricing—and yes, those sweeter margins compared to third-party brands. One of my earliest “oh, wow” moments with private labels came courtesy of the now-defunct Need Supply and its sister shop, …
