Choosing what to pack for a trip to a stylish destination — like Europe — can be stressful, especially if you’re trying to pack light. That’s because you want to be comfortable for days of walking — whether you’re on a hike or just hoofing around town — and you want to look stylish when visiting museums, galleries, theaters, or nice restaurants. I’ve got my packing list of travel clothes for Europe down to what I consider the essentials, and I’ve done it for as long as three weeks with just what you see below. Of course, your mileage may...

I created Bluffworks to solve one of my biggest travel problems: clothes that are versatile and durable enough for any situation a trip could throw at me. But one problem still remains: finding the best walking shoes for Europe when you’re going from hiking in the Alps to a nice dinner in a single day — as I like to do.I’ll admit right up front: I don’t have a perfect solution (yet).

It’s five years ago today that we finished our first Kickstarter campaign for our Original pants.

What you may not know is that at the time, after two years of scrimping and saving, living with my parents, downsizing apartments and taking my time to get it right, when it finally came time to press the “launch” button...

Guys, I recently made my way to Cuba – land of classic cars, breathtaking countryside, and an urban Havana that demands style. But Cuba also has one other thing: high heat. On this trip, our Original travel pants served me well. Galloping horses, taking a nap in the dirt, and riding in fashionable old cars were all on the agenda. And our Originals hung with me every step of the way, reinforcing what we think are the best pants for hot weather. This is the first product I ever made. And people tell us they love them because they’re a...
