Carhartt Recasts a Heritage Workwear Staple as a Refined Everyday Essential

Released as part of bi-annual Carhartt WIP’s F/W26 Preview Collection, the Brader Blazer combines heritage chore coat details and traditional tailored suit jacket design into one multi-functional garment. Made from an unlined, 100 percent cotton 9.3 ounce ‘Cooper’ twill, the midweight Brader Blazer features notched lapels, a three-button front and four front pockets, with a classic Carhartt square logo patch completing the look. The transitional piece comes in a tan “Leather” colorway and Black.

After weeks of anticipation, Ayaneo finally unveils the 2nd-gen version of its Pocket Micro handheld. When the original dropped in 2024, it was quite possibly the best emulator for Game Boy Advance games we’d seen, but now it’s gotten even better. The design takes after the Game Boy Micro with its squared-off edges and a display quality worthy of your old games. For the sequel, the same core elements remain (e.g., screen size and basic overall shape) but now Ayaneo has enhanced performance. Key updates include a new, more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor for smoother game play, a fuller build for improved in-hand ergonomics and a retuned button setup for better precision.

Hyundai just pulled the sheets on one of its most important cars in the Middle East at the 2026 Busan Mobility Show. It’s called the Avante, but we better know it as the Honda Civic-fighting Elantra. The current model’s been with us for about six years now, which very well means it’s due for replacement. And the Avante arrives to succeed the seventh-gen model. It sports Hyundai’s latest “Art of Steel” design language, and will come with a variety of four-cylinder and gas-electric hybrid powertrains. Although we’re likely some time away from getting the specifics with the American version, it’s highly likely we’ll see those hybrid powertrains and new features arrive on our shores in the not-too-distant future.

Buck Mason is a master at sourcing its products, so when creating sunglasses inspired by 1960s Italian shades (picture Steve McQueen and James Baldwin), it went right to the source. The Speedster Sunglasses are made in Veneto, Italy, from thick, plant-based acetate, using five-barrel steel hinges secured with decorative rivets. These shades are available in tortoise shell, black and transparent olive.

For 2027, GMC is giving the Sierra 1500 a thorough overhaul with a new exterior and interior design, tons of tech and a pair of new powertrain options. As such, along with a more vertical grille and some redesigned headlights, the truck touts refinements like three dash screens, a slick multipro interior console and GM’s new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8s. As before, the lineup spans Pro, Elevation, AT4 and Denali trims. The first 2027 models are expected to arrive at GMC dealerships before the end of the 2026 calendar year.

Continuing the micro trend of militaries embracing electric motos, the field testing-ready Dispatch emerges from nearly four years of consultations with the Canadian Armed Forces and other advisors. The 309-pound light tactical off-roader is purpose-built with a focus on surveillance and reconnaissance applications, can reach a top speed of nearly 70 mph and has a range of 124 miles. Canada-proud NorthForge also hypes the bike’s 440-pound cargo capacity, stealthy sub-50dB propulsion, field-reparable design and fast-swapping batteries, which can be replaced in under a minute.
