Over the years, many of my viewers and customers have come to value my opinion enough to inquire about my favorite goods and services, fitness-related or not, so I listed them below. You can show your support by purchasing anything through the following affiliate links.

Luxury Menswear

Kamakura makes some of the best ready-to-wear (RTW) dress shirts under $100. Compared to Brooks Brothers' Regent Fit RTW shirts, of which I've owned almost a dozen, Kamakura's Slim Fit RTW shirts billow less around the waist and are higher quality (e.g., mother of pearl buttons instead of plastic). If you want a precise fit and more customization, then get a made-to-measure (MTM) shirt, which starts at ~$180. My Kamakura MTM shirts include a 300 thread count cotton dobby and a monogrammed 200 thread count cotton twill.

 Drop93 is the best place to buy luxury clothing at a discount. The Armoury, one of my favorite menswear stores, owns the site and ensures that every item is authentic and in excellent condition. I recommend Drop93 to anybody who wants to build a classic men's business wardrobe without breaking the bank. For a minor style upgrade, stock up on ties and pocket squares. If you need wardrobe essentials, then get some button-downs, polos, and sweaters.

Cash Back Rewards Programs
Rewards stack, so consider signing up for both of these programs.
|
I make personal purchases on one credit card and IE-related purchases on another to identify deductions more easily during tax season. This card offers generous rewards: 5% on specific categories, 1% on all others, and no annual fee.

 Get cash back when you shop online at many of the stores you probably visit anyway. You can download the app or the browser plugin, each of which will tell you what cashback rewards are available for the online store you're browsing.
