30 KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON

Shirt shopping shouldn’t be a guessing game. Here are 7 ways to know you’re wearing a high-quality garment.

68 THE RIGHT WAY, NOT RIGHT AWAY

“Customizing” a garment in a hurry online doesn’t make it custom-made for you. Try true made-to-measure instead.

Dear Friends,

Spring conjures endless images of vibrant color bursting out of the lush Florida landscape and on the people flocking to bask in the near-perfect temperatures and endless sunshine. It evokes memories of gatherings with family and friends eating spiral ham, potato salad and deviled eggs washed down with sweet tea. Spring reminds us that no matter what lies behind us, the future will be full of flowers. To quote the late, great Robin Williams, “Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party.’”

This spring we have gone all out yet again! Our fashion partners like Gran Sasso, Canali, Kiton, L.B.M. 1911, Peter Millar, Greyson, Stenströms, PT Torino and Waterville, just to name a few, have truly sprung up for spring with the richest colors in their incomparable garments. Like all of you, we constantly set out to outdo ourselves. This year is no different.

Throughout the pages of this labor of love, you will find articles we handpicked for you and fashion we believe you will look good in, feel good in and be able to wear many springs and summers to come. We loved working again with our friend and model, Tim Ryan, on the streets and vias surrounding the posh Worth Avenue on Palm Beach Island where spring, well, springs eternal. This magazine is always carefully curated with you in mind. We could parade looks simply to make your jaw drop, but instead we offer our favorite seasonal things hoping you can truly imagine putting them on and having jaws drop for you. John Craig, our family of stores and those with whom we partner are all about fashion you can actually wear and feel good in.

Since the beginning, the vision for our company has been to sell the highest quality menswear with unparalleled customer service. It’s why all of our business cards, including Craig’s, have our cellphone numbers. We aren’t just selling clothes, we are building relationships. We love when you or your significant other texts us before a big event asking, “Tie or no tie?” For 27 years this is how we have conducted business and it’s been our absolute pleasure.

So, peruse the pages, get some ideas and either call us or come in and let’s put some outfits together that will enhance the errands you run, make date night even more magical and show up in the photos celebrating the cherished events you will remember for a lifetime.

Happy spring, dear friends!

A Palm Beach MAKEOVER

You might have noticed something different about The Colony Hotel while walking the main shopping drag on Worth Avenue. Maybe you couldn’t put your finger on it—but that’s the point. The iconic mainstay in Palm Beach recently unveiled its shiny new makeover, which feels fresh and revitalized but remains true to its mid-century roots. Hotel guests, tourists and passersby are greeted by a fresh swipe of Farrow & Ball bubblegum pink paint on the exterior, as well as an amped-up pool and patio. Inside, there are new-and-improved de Gournay wallpaper murals all over the halls reminiscent of White Lotus , and pastel-hued guest suites that are equally homey and whimsical. If you have out-of-town guests visiting this summer, get them a room at The Colony Hotel. You just may want to book yourself a stay too.

What’s New WITH ETRO

WINE LOVERS WELCOME

Consider yourself a discerning oenophile? You’ll be in good company at The Cave Bistro and Wine Bar, a new addition to Naples’ dining scene. The restaurant is inspired by fine wineries all over the world, ones that passionate wine aficionados and husband-and-wife duo Jim and Laura Dixon visited over the 30 years prior to opening The Cave in 2022. The décor here is reminiscent of a European wine cave, but of course the big draw is the vino itself. Red or white, sparkling or fortified, The Cave has one of the best wine selections in Naples, and an indoor space or outdoor patio on which to enjoy your sips. There are also craft cocktails, if that’s more your speed, as well as food such as seafood, salads and steaks that pair beautifully with the vinos in the vault.

The Cave Bistro and Wine Bar, 2343 Vanderbilt Beach Rd. #602, Naples, 239.513.0095; thecavenaples.com

Etro is one of those brands whose pieces you recognize instantly—this Italian fashion house is known for its exquisitely made suits and bold, printed patterns. Paisley is one of the maison’s signature styles, and this floral paisley cotton shirt is one of our favorites for the spring/summer season. With a slim fit, lightweight cotton and an all-over vibrant print, it’s wearable, stylish and made to last. Not sure if you can pull off an Etro piece? Or simply want to restock? Stop by the store to try on Etro for yourself and let us help you suit up and shirt up for summer in style!

John Craig has all your needs covered when it comes to menswear this season, but the ladies deserve a new ’drobe too. Luckily, there are two fabulous womenswear stores adjacent to our Jupiter location: Lola Dré and Sand by Lola Dré. The original store boasts designer fashion and accessories from the industry’s top names, including Jonathan Simkhai and Proenza Schouler. Sand is its beachier counterpart, with a huge selection of trendy swimsuits, cover ups, sunglasses, sandals and more essentials for Florida living.

Next time you’re at JC, stop in at Lola Dré to pick something up for your wife, daughter, mother or sister—and tell them Craig and Blair sent you!

SCOUT’S HONOR

Sure, you get a lot of news about our community from this very magazine, but there’s another local, highly curated resource to check out. It’s called The Scout Guide , a print and online publication featuring all the premier businesses, restaurants and retailers that locals and tourists should know about. The Scout Guide is published for more than 74 cities across the U.S., including three that are close to home (and close to our hearts)— Jupiter, Naples and Orlando. Our store is featured in TSG, and we’re so thankful to them for spotlighting small businesses like John Craig. Check them out at thescoutguide.com for more insider scoop and places to scout out in our neighborhood.

Art Returns to WINTER PARK

Thanks to annual patrons like John Craig, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival—one of the nation’s most prestigious outdoor art programs—returns this March for its 64th annual installation. Each year, nearly 300,000 tourists and residents unite for this celebration of the city and creativity, where dozens of artists selected from around the country show off their works. There will be jewelry, mixed media, photography, sculpture and more to strike your fancy, and perhaps inspire an artistic streak of your own. The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is held at Central Park along Park Avenue from March 17–19. Visit wpsaf.org for hours, tickets info and more. And if you see us there, please come say hello!

Cool Hues for HOT WEATHER

Coffee or a good workout can work in a pinch, but why not look to your clothes for a little pick-me-up when you need it? One of the hottest colors of the spring/summer season is yellow in all variations, because we could all use a bit more cheeriness and positivity right now. In fact, we’re positive you’ll fall in love with Canali’s yellow sportcoat this season—now available at John Craig. But that’s not all: In addition to yellow, other smile-inducing colors such as pink and lavender are popping up in menswear too, from polos to pants to blazers. Wear one color at a time and pair it with neutrals for a more understated look, or… live a little. Come visit us at John Craig, where one of our style pros can help you pick out a colorful outfit that really packs a punch.

Ask Mr. EtiQuette

Craig DeLongy explains how to sail through life without giving offense.

I’ve been invited to a “black-tie optional” function. Since I don’t own a tuxedo, what should I wear?

—Wondering in Windermere

Usually “black-tie optional” means that the host would like to have a black-tie event, but is trying to be considerate to those guys who don’t own a tuxedo and may not want to rent one.

My suggestion, since a lot of weddings and other events are “black-tie” (not optional), is to invest in a tuxedo! Buy something classic like a one-button, peak lapel in black. Save the fancy pattern or navy fabric for your second tuxedo.

A classic tuxedo should last you up to seven years, depending on how many affairs you have and how often you dry clean it. If you feel that you will never need to wear a tuxedo again, buy a black suit and accessorize like you would a tuxedo. The black suit can be worn for many other occasions, or the jacket can be worn as a blazer.

Remember: Don’t wear a white or ivory tie to a wedding—that should be only for the groom.

All In THE FAMILY

We know a great family business when we see one, which is why we here at John Craig are big fans of Martin Dingman. Martin and his wife have been running the renowned leather goods company together since 1990, but 2023 marks the end of the era. They’re passing the company onto their kids, and the next generation is planning a brand revamp. However, they’re still staying true to who and what they are at their core: a luxury menswear company offering shoes, belts, bags and wallets that are made of the finest materials by the finest craftspeople—and built to last. We’re excited to see what comes next for the Martin Dingman brand. In the meantime, come shop its newest collection of leather goods at John Craig.

Gadgets & GEAR

1THE PERFECT POUR…

...at home? It’s possible with the PerfectDraft. This brand-new device serves bar-quality draft beer in your kitchen, your patio...you get it. Just insert a 202 oz. keg of beer into the countertop-sized unit, which then cools the beverage to your temp of choice. From there you’ll have the equivalent of 18 bottles ready for the pouring. Changing the keg is as simple as putting a new pod into a Keurig, except with PerfectDraft, there’s an LED light that will let you know when you’re running low and ready for a refill. $348 (includes starter keg).

2 POWER UP

Depending on the time of year and where you live, a generator surely comes in handy. But the Bluetti EP600 is changing the game. This European-based ESS (Energy Storage System) is a portable power station that can charge or power anything that’s plugged into it, from your iPad to, in the case of a power outage, your fridge. And unlike a whole-house generator, the Bluetti works via renewable energy and solar power, meaning it’s not harming the environment every time you press “on.” It’s portable and can be used in your yard, in the back of your pickup truck or on any type of off-road experience you so desire. About $9,500.

3ONE LESS CHORE

Free up your free time or tell your landscaper you’re taking a hiatus—this robot will mow your lawn and then some. The Yarbo Lawn Mower M1 scurries along your yard while cutting the grass with precision. It’s wireless and works by way of algorithms and advanced RTK-GPS positioning technology, which means you can control where and how far your Yarbo goes with the touch of an app. This bad boy can mow up to 2.3 acres of grass on one charge (about two hours), and works on an incline of up to 68 percent. There’s also an attachment that can plow snow. $4,399.

4A SOLUTION FOR SLEEP

Still having trouble falling asleep? The Dodow could be the bedtime solution you need. Place this small round device the size of a coaster next to your bed. It emits a blue light of your preferred brightness onto the ceiling of your bedroom, which should sync up to your breathing. Through either an 8-minute or 20-minute session—the Dodow turns off automatically after each—you’ll turn your body into a hypnotic state and hush off to sleep. $60 or $98 for a two-pack.

5 FULL BODY TECH

From the folks who brought you the Theragun massage gun comes the Therabody Wave Roller, a techy foam roller to up your workouts. This Smart device has five customizable vibration frequencies and a unique wavey texture, helping to release muscle tension and improve mobility. Connect to the app for personalizable recovery regimens and to customize your pressure levels. Also, the Wave Roller is quiet, so you can bring it to your group fitness class without bothering a soul. $99.

6 ART CONDITIONING

The AC of the future is the ARTCOOL Gallery AC by LG, which looks like a framed piece of art instead of a not-so-cute HVAC. Thanks to LG’s Dual Inverter Compressor technology, it works like a mini split, cooling your room (and warming it in the winter) without the loud humming you’d get from a window unit. The ARTCOOL can be controlled via an app on your Smartphone, as well as through voice commands on Google Assistant. Price not available at press time.

7 BIKE ABOUT IT

The newest member of the e-bike family is the Trek Domane+ SLR 9. Its chic, carbon frame is narrow and dainty, so the ride feels light and natural. The quiet and discreet motor won’t distract from its graceful spins, and it can take you wherever life does; a jaunt in your neighborhood park or on steep climbs through mountainous terrain. Essentially, this e-bike feels like a traditional road bike but with the bells and whistles of an electric one. Where are you off to next? $12,999.99

These high-tech toys may not be true necessities, but need schmeed—we want ‘em!

Keep Your SHIRT ON

Whether you’re meeting with an important client or celebrating at a black-tie event, rest assured that your John Craig dress shirt is among the very best pieces in the world. That’s because we seek brands, such as Stenströms and Eton, that source fine materials from the leading mills around the globe and employ artisans who are dedicated to time-honored tailoring traditions. Below is a checklist of elements that make up a great shirt—be sure yours check all the boxes before you put it on your back.

COLLAR

From button-down to spread styles, there are several collar options from which to choose when planning a made-to-measure shirt or selecting from off the rack. But there’s no compromise when it comes to construction. A stiff interlining—the fabric between the top and under collar—gives the collar its shape and should be sewn into the shirt (instead of using more cost-effective glue, which over time can fail or “bubble”). The top edge of a great collar should always roll over the collar stand, not appear creased or pressed.

STITCHING

Fine stitching is one of the standards for a great shirt. The best shirts include high stitch-per-inch count and stitch tension; both these elements reduce the chances that yarn will catch or snag on sharp objects. Hand-stitching also gives high-quality garments tighter seams on both the outside and inside of a shirt.

BUTTONS

An easy way to distinguish between a high-quality and a subpar shirt is to look at the buttons. Plastic buttons are a clear red flag: They’re typically low-quality and have the tendency to break. A well-made shirt features hard, durable buttons made of either mother of pearl, horn, wood or metal. Unlike plastic, these materials will resist heat and offer a unique look to the garment.

BUTTONHOLES

It’s easy to overlook this element of a shirt, but a cleanly finished buttonhole is a mark of quality manufacturing. Machine-made holes often appear rough with imperfections, such as a hanging piece of thread. Hand-sewn buttonholes are smooth because the fabric is cut before assembly and measured to fit.

FIT

While off-the-rack has its benefits (immediacy and affordability), it’s not always a one-size-fits-all option. A well-fitting shirt is tailored and hangs off one’s body perfectly: For instance, shoulder points should not extend past the shoulders; sleeves should be long enough that the cuffs don’t pull when you raise your arms overhead; two fingers should fit between your neck and a buttoned collar.

HEM

A fine rolled hem at the bottom of the shirt is a small but important detail. The hem should always lay flat without extra bulk or thickness. This safeguards against any unsightly beads, which can appear through the pants when a shirt is tucked in.

CUFFS

Like collars, there are several cuff varieties from which to choose that best suit your style and needs. Whether your made-to-measure shirt is designed with French or barrel cuffs, the best tailors will always construct them by hand. This attention to detail ensures the interlining—the middle of the three layers of fabric that make up a cuff—is cut and sewn into place properly so it adds ideal stiffness while remaining soft and flexible.

Shirt shopping shouldn’t be a guessing game. Here are 7 ways to know you’re wearing a highquality garment.

HAGEN CARMEL,CA

SIMPLY STYLISH SHIRTINGS

A ride into the THE FUTURE

Owning a Bentley already puts you in a special fraternity of car owners. But with a bit of luck, you can step into a club even more exclusive. By mid-year, the historic British luxury automaker will release the Batur, a limited-edition coupe constructed by the company’s bespoke Mulliner division. Named after an idyllic volcanic lake in Bali, it’s the successor to the outgoing Bacalar and closely resembles the iconic Continental, Bentley’s other two-door model. In fact, the Batur is outfitted with the same 6.0-liter W-12 engine as the Continental—but there are important differences too.

Engineers equipped the new grand tourer with an upgraded intake system and improved turbochargers, giving the engine a maximum output of 729 horsepower—79 more ponies than its predecessor. It’s the most powerful W-12 combustion engine in the lineup, and perhaps Bentley’s last. A series of changes are on the horizon as Bentley further ventures into its Beyond100 initiative to develop a line of electric vehicles. And representatives, including new design director Andreas Mindt, say the Batur is a peek into the EV future. Changes are evident inside and out. From the front, familiar circular

headlights were dropped in favor of teardrop-shaped lamps with a trio of efficient LED projectors. The profile resembles a modern muscle car, but the rounded tail softens the look and improves aerodynamics— a departure from the angled lines of other Bentley models. Though technically not an EV, the Batur is as eco-friendly as any non-electric can get. Instead of carbon fiber, manufacturers use high-performance composite material made from flax in body and trimwork to lower their environmental footprint. Leather found in the Batur is processed using methods that involve less water and aldehyde than traditional tanning. And the list will continue to grow.

One thing Bentley hasn’t changed is its commitment to making luxury the standard. Every Batur driver can enjoy bespoke 22-inch wheels, carbon ceramic brakes and rear steering. Owners can also make their car one-of-a-kind with options such as the bespoke titanium exhaust system and the 18-carat gold interior detailing. What’s next for Bentley? One can hardly wait to see.

The estimated starting price for the Bentley Batur is $2 million.

The limited-edition Batur packages Bentley’s finest with hints of what’s to come.

Tips & Trends

Keeping it CASUAL

The tide of “work from home” may be receding, but its liberating impact on business dress lives on. So what are the new rules?

Office dress has changed a lot during the past three years, and while some of the changes were temporary, there have been permanent effects. The boss may no longer pop into the office for an hour in a sweatshirt and jogging pants in the confidence that employees are working safely at home, but a new, more casual look has taken hold in many once-againpopulated corporate suites. It’s business casual—an ethos that perhaps prevailed on Fridays before the pandemic, but has now migrated to the other weekdays as well. It’s easygoing but not fancy-free, relaxed but not no-holds-barred. Often you needn’t wear a suit, for example, but almost always shorts would be pushing too far. If this feels confusing, check out these tips for dressing smartly, stylishly and appropriately for an age of in-between:

PUT ON A POLO. As long as short sleeves meet the office dress code, these summertime staples are a go-to—especially when the mercury rises and the humidity soars. They’re a step up from a T-shirt but less formal than a button-up sport shirt. You can even dress them up with a lightweight sportcoat, which comes in handy when the office AC is cranking. Remember, sleeveless shirts and apparel with sports logos (unless you’re actually working for the team) should be left for the gym.

BE A GOOD SPORT. Instead of rolling up the sleeves of a dress shirt, you can comfortably wear a sport shirt in any business-casual environment. These button-ups often have softer collars, brighter colors, bolder patterns—everything fun and functional for a relaxed setting. Look for sport shirts made with fabrics that breathe, such as lightweight cotton or

linen and with moisture-wicking properties. (Pro tip: Unless your company is holding Aloha Friday, steer clear of loud Hawaiian shirts.)

THINK LIGHTWEIGHT LAYERING. Your trusty 100 percent wool sportcoat kept you warm and stylish in winter, but leave it in the closet during the hot months. Instead, a lightweight wool blend jacket will let you stay cool when temperatures soar past 90. And nothing says summer like a linen sportcoat, but if you’re worried about wrinkles, consider an unstructured, cotton-linen blend garment. It’s also the season to experiment with colors and patterns—bright hues and pastels as well as plaid and windowpane.

PERFECT YOUR PANTS. Shorts and athletic wear are still office nonos, but today’s soft and stretch fabrics make many of the current dress and casual pants feel like you’re sporting comfortable loungewear. Khakis, chinos and five-pocket pants in lightweight cotton, linen and other breathable materials are ideal for any business-casual setting. Consider bright colors as well: Yellow, pink, light blue and green all work. Dressy denim should be reserved for cooler months.

PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD. No matter how laid-back the vibe is in your office, never show up in flip-flops or sandals. Leather fashion sneakers have evolved, and many are styled to resemble dress shoes. These shoes are business-casual essentials, as are classic loafers or a pair of pebble-grain leather Oxfords. Complement footwear with funky socks, or go for the “sockless” look.

for every OCCASION

Whether you’re headed to the golf course, dinner, the Derby or the altar, the John Craig team is ready to help you dress the part.

6 COURSES you must play

Would you believe that Rickie Fowler has never played any of the courses at Bandon Dunes Resort? Or that Greg Norman has never played Pine Valley? It’s true.

Any discussion of courses we love usually ends with confessions about the ones we’ve not played yet. Heck, one of my golfing buddies, Peter, has played 94 of the Golf Digest Top 100, and even he can rattle off 10+ courses he still needs to add to his list.

But it would be a crying shame to go much longer without trying the six courses I offer here. These special places are accessible to all golfers, as they are public. Most you’ve heard of, but they may include a surprise or two. And while some are handier to reach than others, all are worth the trip. There are nine-hole courses and even a putting course that in my opinion are just as much fun as the classic 18-hole layouts. Golf should be about the experience, not the number of holes you play.

“Bucket list”? That’s too long-term. Grab your clubs and hurry to these great places as soon as you can.

PINEHURST PINEHURST, NORTH CAROLINA

A visit to Pinehurst is de rigueur, as there are at least six courses here that one should experience. My first priority would be Pinehurst course No. 2, a Donald Ross masterpiece that has seen numerous renovations, with the last one completed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw in 2011.

Following the elimination of the Bermuda grass rough and the introduction of native hardpan sand with wiregrass, the course has a more natural feel and offers a great challenge for both men and women, as evidenced by the 2014 U.S. Open.

A caddie here will increase your enjoyment of this great tract.

Pinehurst course No. 4 has recently benefited from a wonderful renovation by Gil Hanse, and now it is a worthy companion to No. 2. A fun fact here is that Hanse occupied the home of Ross while he was on the property. Hanse and his team also created a cool nine-hole short course called “The Cradle,” which is an ideal complement to other courses in the Pinehurst complex.

When you arrive at the resort you will see what was the first miniature golf course in the U.S. Created in 1916 by James Barber, it offers the entire family a fun introduction to this historic resort.

To be honest, there’s also another reason I love visiting here: The pancakes at the Pinehurst Resort are world-class.

ST. ANDREWS FIFE, SCOTLAND

Would any list be complete without “The Home of Golf?” This one requires a hop across the ocean, but it’s eminently worth it. St. Andrews may not technically be the world’s oldest course, but it dates back to the 15th century, and its seven courses provide a palette of amazing landscapes to experience. Once you’re here, there’s much to be said for starting at the beginning—at St. Andrews’ Old Course. You can feel the wonderful history, and with the clubhouse of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews as a backdrop, the first tee shot will give you chills.

There are seven courses here, and close by is Kingsbarns, where the duo Mark Parsinen and Kyle Phillips shaped a masterpiece on land that was mined during the World War II. The views from this venue are memorable, and the par 3 15th that plays over a rocky inlet (where the wind is most always present) may be your Kodak moment.

Besides golf, the town has many great restaurants and shops, as well as Fisher & Donaldson, which might be the best pastry shop you will ever visit. (In my book, a great cinnamon bun is a fine reward for walking 18.)

SAND VALLEY GOLF RESORT NEKOOSA, WISCONSIN

Then there’s the Badger State, with both old and new courses to try. For the latter, it’s time again to thank Mike Keiser (the developer of Bandon Dunes) along with Craig Haltom, who recognized that this land had unlimited potential. And thank you, Michael and Chris Keiser (Mike Keiser’s sons), for delivering what Golf Digest recognized as the “best new course” when it debuted five years ago.

Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw were entrusted with the responsibility of designing the first course, and while they moved more earth here than at Sand Hills, their award-winning private course in Nebraska, the Sand Valley course fits the land like a great jigsaw puzzle. The sand here is employed in many different ways, from bunkers to waste areas, and I can assure you that you will use every club in your bag.

The second course at Sand Valley is Mammoth Dunes by David McLay-Kidd, and it showcases Kidd’s maturity and style. The 14th hole was created with the design help of a Golf Digest “armchair architect” contest. Brian Silvernail, a graphic designer from Florida, presented the winning entry, and it’s a beauty. This drivable downhill par 4 has a sloping fairway and a Redan-style green (unusual for a par 4 hole). If you are skilled or lucky enough to drive into the speed slot on the right, you will be rewarded with a ball close to the green. Add a 17-hole par 3 course (by Coore and Crenshaw) and you will have a perfect couple of days of great golf and fun.

LAWSONIA LINKS GREEN LAKE, WISCONSIN

Make this your next Wisconsin stop. Lawsonia Links, designed in the 1930s by William Langford and Theodore Moreau, is a must-visit for sure. The layout will test your short game, as the elevated greens and mounds will challenge your shot-making skills. Pro tip: You’ll want to practice your bunker shots before arriving.

BANDON DUNES GOLF RESORT BANDON, OREGON

With five distinctly different golf courses and a great par 3 track, this resort is the perfect starting point. Every golfer owes a debt to Mike Keiser, who had the courage and conviction to find an area on the Oregon coast that was ideal for a unique golf experience.

The first course, Bandon Dunes by David McLay-Kidd, opened in 1999 and showcases this property’s magnificent dunes and ocean views. When Tom Doak’s Pacific Dunes course debuted in 2001, it was amazing that a second course could be created on the same land with such a different feel. Then in 2005 came the opening of Bandon Trails, fashioned by architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, and we all started to believe that this was indeed a special area that could be developed in many different ways.

Old Macdonald (my favorite) opened in 2015. Here designers Doak and Jim Urbina approached their task by asking, “What would the great Charles Blair Macdonald have created on this land?”—Macdonald being one of the premier course architects of the early 20th century. Old Macdonald is a great walk (all of the courses at Bandon should be experienced walking) on a huge canvas of land. For example, the first hole provides an expansive fairway to hit, and it’s only when you arrive for your second shot that you realize the difficulty lies ahead with an elevated green.

The journey continues with a unique collection, each respecting Macdonald’s genius.

The trendsetting Bandon Preserve (Coore and Crenshaw) par 3 course opened in 2012, with all of the proceeds going to the Wild Rivers Coast Alliance, an organization that supports conservation, community and the economy on the southern Oregon coast.

The first time you play you will be smiling for the rest of the day, as each hole has a twist or turn or slope and elevation to challenge your short-game skills. If ever a course were to be compared to an Easter egg hunt, this would be it. It’s only toward the end that you notice there are only 13 holes. I guarantee you will not care.

SILVIES VALLEY SENECA, OREGON

Oregon again? Sure—the state has some of the best land in the country for golf, and Silvies Valley Ranch, situated 300+ miles from Portland and 200 miles from Boise, makes my list, as it’s big (100,000+ acres) and offers many activities beyond golf.

When the goats (nearly 3,000 of them) outnumber the local residents, you know this is not a typical golf course. Oh, and by the way, you can even use one of the goats as a caddie, as Akbar Chisti, the co-founder of Seamus Golf, has designed a unique golf bag specifically for this purpose!

Architect Dan Hixson created two 18-hole layouts, which are played on alternate days, allowing you to play the course in both directions. Hixson’s excellent par 3 layouts are especially great and add to the fun of playing here.

Don’t forget to sample the farm-to-table cuisine at Silvies and enjoy the many available non-golf activities, such as hiking, biking and horseback riding.

Does this exhaust my list of great courses? No way—there are many more, with Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., and Pebble Beach in Pebble Beach, Calif., as additional standouts I must mention. It’s also great to play a course that has recently hosted a major, because when you watch the tournament you’ll have enhanced knowledge of the venue. But the half-dozen courses I’ve described here are great for starters. Make sure, if you can, that they don’t linger long on your “not yet” list.

Yikes! 6 HIKES

In a half-dozen places, Mother Nature is apt to lure you onto the trail—even if you usually avoid exercise.

Hiking is having a moment. Whether it’s the beneficial exercise or the beautiful countryside folks crave—or simply a brief, scenic escape from routine—record numbers are enjoying this outdoor activity, from Snow Lake Trail near Seattle to the end of the Appalachian Trail at Mount Katahdin in Maine.

Hiking can be a strenuous challenge. But even at its most leisurely it’s an activity you can feel good about. Taking a hike requires stability, mobility, endurance and strength, and yields many fitness benefits. Just one hour of trekking can burn up to 500 calories, depending on the incline level and the load being carried. While hiking is a powerful cardio workout, many trails are also less taxing on your joints than asphalt or concrete, making a walk in the woods (or on the beach or through the desert) more forgiving on ankles and knees than a sidewalk ramble.

The sport builds strength in your glutes, quads, hamstrings, hips, lower legs and core while boosting bone density and improving blood pressure. It may even be a cancer fighter. According to a study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine, long-distance hiking trips may improve antioxidative capacity, which helps fight off disease.

Being out in the wild, away from the screens and keyboards and beeping noises that signal your everyday stressors, can get your mind and spirit in better shape too. It can increase attention span and boost creative problem-solving. Hiking is a proven meditative activity because the repetitive motion of strides is calming; it decreases stress response and lowers the body’s cortisol levels. Studies show that people regularly exposed to natural surroundings have decreased depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, headaches and inflammation. Some fitness experts predict that hiking will become more popular than yoga as a stress-busting workout.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned hiker, there are magnificent trails from coast to coast that will get your heart pumping vigorously while you enjoy spectacular views. Check out the following half-dozen; some of them are hard to resist even if you’re trying to:

McWay Falls Overlook Trail, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park Big

Sur, California

Difficulty level: Easy

Along the storied California coast between Los Angeles and San Francisco lies Big Sur, a jewel of the Pacific Coast. This trail offers a nearly flat stroll that ends with flawless views of the iconic McWay Falls. Here water drops 80 feet from a granite cliff into a sandy cove below and flows into the mighty Pacific Ocean. And check out the one-mile Partington Cove Trail, also in the park. This steep but short hike will take you across a rustic wooden bridge, then down a 60-foot tunnel where you emerge onto the park’s only beach access. Confirm that the trails are open before heading to Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, as recent wildfires may have closed some of them.

Hoh River Trail, Olympic National Park

Forks, Washington

Difficulty level: Easy to moderate

The scenery along this route can best be described as an enchanted forest. Winding through one of the few true rainforests left on the planet, the Hoh River Trail features moss-covered stones along the picturesque river, ancient trees towering over beds of ferns and Roosevelt elk feeding in meadows with sweeping mountain views. Most of the trail is flat and appropriate for all fitness levels. However, the last five miles become more strenuous, so beginners may want to plan to end their hike near Five Mile Island or Lewis Meadow. For more seasoned hikers looking to push through, the payoff is huge. From here it’s nine more miles to the Blue Glacier Overlook, where visitors see an impressive slab of a glacier along the side of Mount Olympus.

North Country Trail, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Munising, Michigan

Difficulty level: Moderate

Located on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore offers raw coastal beauty and a variety of habitats. The North Country Trail loop begins in a serene forest on a relatively flat and well-traveled path. The trail takes you past Pictured Rocks, named for the colors created by mineral deposits, with opportunities to see Miner’s Castle Overlook, Chapel Rock and several picturesque waterfalls. The granddaddy of them all is 60-foot Chapel Falls, located along a remote offshoot of the main trail. Along the North Country Trail, you’ll be tempted to take in the lakeside view. Just remember that there are no guardrails on the rocky cliffs, which are some 200 feet above Lake Superior. But once you’re there, the panoramas are incredible.

Maze Overlook Trail, Canyonlands National Park Moab, Utah

Difficulty level: Moderate to difficult

Though it’s the least visited of Utah’s “Mighty 5” national parks, Canyonlands is nothing short of spectacular. Hiking the terrain is the best way to see the area— which spans more than 520 miles and features canyons, mesas, cliffs and spires—but prior experience (along with a long rope and a map) is a plus for the remote, outand-back Maze Overlook Trail. It’s a oneof-a-kind, 8-mile adventure, starting with picturesque desert landscape before turning into a natural labyrinth of colorful rocks, sandstone walls and the unique Chocolate Drops formation. But the trail is not for the faint of heart, as it will test physical and mental endurance. Getting to and from the majestic Maze Overlook requires brief class 4 rock scrambling, tip-toeing on narrow ledges and navigating tight squeezes and steep cliffs. Pro tip: Instead of carrying a backpack through a tight incline/decline, use a 25-foot rope to lift or lower it.

Maryland Heights Loop, Harpers Ferry National Historic Park

Harpers Ferry, West Virginia

Difficulty level: Difficult

History buffs will especially love this mid-Atlantic hiking trail. The loop starts and finishes in the quaint West Virginia village of Harpers Ferry. The town itself is a National Historic Park, brimming with 19th-century architecture, museums, exhibits, trades workshops and living history events. The hiking trail passes the remains of a naval artillery battery built in 1862 and a Union Army fort built in 1863. Other Civil War remnants seen along the way include ammunition pits and breastworks. The path gets more intense as you climb cliffs that overlook Harpers Ferry with stunning views of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. After a strenuous hike, visitors can reward themselves at True Treats Historic Candy, a store near the trail’s end in downtown Harpers Ferry that specializes in sweets from the 1500s through the mid-1900s.

Sam’s Point and Verkeerderkill

Falls Trail, Minnewaska State Park Preserve Cragsmoor, New York

Difficulty level: Difficult

The star of this hike is the Verkeerderkill Falls, where a 180-foot waterfall drops to the bottom of an isolated canyon. Access to cliffs around the canyon is unfettered, and hikers feel as though they are the first humans to discover the scene. Spring and summer are the best times of year to see the falls in full, rushing glory. Hikers also can climb down steep rock and a series of ladders for a third of a mile into ice caves cold enough to hold snow through July. The trail winds through an endangered dwarf pitch pine barren and abandoned berry-picker shacks, remnants of a time when the area was known for wild blueberry gathering. Hikers mount several cliffs—including Sam’s Point—for views of High Point Monument in New Jersey, the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains.

Beers and their BESTIES

Over the past decade, craft breweries have grown exponentially; in 2010 there were 1,813 breweries in operation across the U.S.; by 2021 that number had hit 9,247. But craft beer sales took a dive in 2020, when the pandemic forced bars, tap rooms and breweries to close and folks to drink at home in quarantine rather than as part of social gatherings. Brewery owners were up against supply-chain challenges and rising prices (but weren’t we all?) that forced many premature closures.

Of course, these economic issues from the pandemic still linger. But happily for beer lovers who like to get creative with new flavors and styles, the craft beer industry is pouring it on once again, with

LAGER

This is beer at its most familiar—light, pale mass-brewed brands such as Budweiser, Coors and Miller. And you know what familiarity breeds; not long ago, crafters looked askance at such presumably plebeian brews. But those days are over, and the age of creative, full-flavored craft lagers is upon us.

Pairs well with: German dishes such as Bratwurst or sauerkraut; this explains why you’ll see so many lagers like pilsner at Oktoberfest (or in Berlin).

AMBER ALE

American amber ales range in color from light honey to dark copper. Craft brewers love ambers for their mild, toasted malt aromas and bright hoppy flavor. An IPA (Indian pale ale) falls into this category, and is made with hops that aid in its fruity, poignant palette. Pairs well with: American pub grub, like burgers or steak and french fries.

an expected $7.4 billion in sales on tap for 2023. Now there’s even a Craft Brewers Conference held each May in Nashville, where those in the brewery biz can swap advice over a few cold ones. Clearly (or cloudily), freestyle American craft beers made by small, independently owned breweries aren’t going anywhere any time soon. These brewers know their stuff, choosing only high-quality hops, malt and yeast that are sourced locally. These ingredients lend themselves to complex, original flavor profiles, which draw in discerning zythophiles who like to switch things up. But like regular beers, crafts fall into five dependable categories. Each is delightful on its own, of course, but isn’t a brewskie even better with some grub to go with it?

PALE ALE

A red-white-and-blue interpretation of a classic English style, American pale ales sparkle in gold tones. This blond beer is loaded with floral and citrus notes and piney hops.

Pairs well with: Lighter Italian dishes such as spaghetti or tortellini in tomato sauce.

STOUT

Who doesn’t like coffee and chocolate? Those are the predominant flavors you’ll find in a glass of American stout ale, along with a spritz of citrus hops, a bit of dryroasted bitterness and a fluffy head of foam. Pairs well with: Asian foods that embody soy flavors, such as stir fry, sesame chicken or pad thai.

PORTER

Craft brewers love a good porter, a dark malted beer known for a hue that ranges from deep ruby red to jet black. Like a stout, a porter has a pinch of chocolate, coffee and sometimes vanilla, along with fruity and nutty flavor notes.

Pairs well with: Mexican food with a little spice, such as tacos, brisket and smoked meat.

With craft breweries hopping once again after a pandemic lull, it’s time for a refresher on refreshment: 5 kinds and the foods they go well with.

The right way, not RIGHT AWAY

Seeing is believing, as they say—but not when you’re purchasing a made-to-measure suit. Any garment can look good on a computer screen, and it may be stunning hanging in your closet. But will it feel great when you try it on?

In the world of custom suiting, your sense of touch will respond acutely to the differences between a garment hand-sewn by a tailor and a piece manufactured quickly by an internet company. Of course, some online businesses create excellent products using your measurements—which you record and supply yourself—and a dozen or so personalized elements. But a few clicks of a mouse can’t guarantee the use of impeccable fabrics, a perfect fit and a selection of details that runs the gamut. These are things, however, a John Craig customer has come to expect.

For decades, our team of made-to-measure experts has been customizing the finest garments precisely to your specifications and personal taste, from size and fit right down to jacket lapel style and thread color—all the sartorial details that matter.

Looking and feeling your best is the name of the game, and great fabric will always drape better than an inferior product. Bonus: A well-made fabric is softer and stronger and will outlast a stiffer and cheaper cloth (which many online retailers use), making a suit custom-made by us the wiser investment. Our made-to-measure program uses fabrics from the world’s finest mills, which source the best raw materials like wool from Australia and New Zealand. The bottom line? You’ll get a suit made from the highest-quality fabric that’ll make you look even more

handsome. Another bonus: A tailor-made suit will come with an ample fabric reserve (in case you have to make anything bigger down the road), while a garment made online will cut costs and minimize the use of material when possible.

We also ensure proper fit. Yes, an online suit maker creates jackets, pants and vests based on the exact measurements you provide, and your order may fit like a glove—that is, until you start moving. Our made-to-measure experts consider your daily activities so that your pieces continue to look good when you’re doing everyday things. Sitting at a conference table or reaching for a book on the top shelf? Our tailors guarantee you don’t have to worry about a collar gap or your jacket bunching at the neck.

You also can distinguish one of our made-to-measure suits from an online customized garment when you feel the inside of the jacket. For the lining, we suggest high-end silk or cotton versus inexpensive options like polyester blends, which can overheat the wearer. The interlining (the material between the suit’s inner and outmost fabrics) should be sewn in place, rather than glued or fused. An easy way to determine the quality is to pinch the upper layer of the fabric: A superior garment will be soft and flexible; an inexpensive suit will feel stiff and thick.

Our style pros and tailors will take nearly two dozen of your measurements and personalized options (handmade buttonholes and monogrammed cuffs, anyone?) to create a piece that looks and feels just right. So log off your computer and give made-to-measure a try. We promise you’ll never look back.

“Customizing” a garment in a hurry online doesn’t make it custom-made for you. Try true made-to-measure instead.

All in FOR SPRING

It’s spring in Florida, and we have asked a few of our resident style gurus their opinion on go-to outfits for every occasion—from running around town to date night to the ever-popular spring galas and weddings populating the season.

JASON BADOLATO

Store Manager

Harbourside Place, Jupiter

Errands and lunch with friends…

My go-to for hitting the town on my mornings off starts with a pair of Riomar Waterman loafers in fathom blue. They’re super comfortable and waterproof, and they offer protection from an afternoon South Florida rain shower. The Peter Millar Salem short is a staple and comes in every color in the rainbow with just the right length and stretch—especially after you’ve had too many tacos and margaritas! Pair those with a Johnnie-O four button “Hangin’ Out” polo, also with stretch and breathability. Lastly, don’t forget your Caddis

Progressive reader sunglasses. When the sun is in your eyes these will guarantee you can still read the drink menu!

SUZANNE REPOLE

Sawgrass Village, Ponte Vedra Beach

Date night…

Opt for smart casual with a hint of wow. You want to look good and feel comfortable. Presentation is key. Make sure everything is clean, pressed and tailored as needed (remember it’s included in the price). Choose a button down tailored Albini-stretch shirt from Emanuel Berg and a darkwash denim jean from DL1961. While the weather is crisp in the evenings or the air-conditioning is blowing inside, don’t forget a Waterville or Manto (reversible) vest with the perfect amount of warmth and an excess of style.

KRISTIN MONTGOMERY

Assistant Store Manager

Third Street South, Naples

Big events…

Made-to-measure is the perfect choice for a special event like a gala, destination wedding or just because you want an original in your wardrobe. It’s really all about the details: choosing style, fabric, lining, buttons and even the stitching to create a perfect piece that is uniquely you! Endless fabric options from Canali, Castangia, Samuelsohn and Kiton gives you unlimited options.

Don’t forget: Your jacket always needs a pocket square or round from Edward Armah, Dion, Eton or Stenströms. Polish off your formal look with a DiBianco velvet or patent leather loafer. Don’t forget the custom Eton or Camessi shirt, a bowtie from Carrot & Gibbs and a spray of Aventus by Creed to complete the ensemble.

ALAN CHAMBERS

Vice President of Operations

To sum it up…

Looking your best is important. It shows you care. Whatever your style, own it. If you’re all golf and little else, Peter Millar, Greyson, Johnnie-O and Meyer have incredible options. Those brands lend themselves to easy-to-pack and wear travel options in pants, polos and shorts.

For those who prefer a bit more sophistication, you can’t beat a great pair of fivepocket pants from PT Torino or Teleria. They come in great seasonal colors (subtle or not) and look like a million bucks. Paired with one of Stenstroms bright woven shirts, a L.E.N. cut-to-fit belt, a Jack Victor silk, wool, linen blazer and Santoni sneaker means you will turn heads.

And dressing up is still a thing. We’ve had our biggest suit-selling years on record the last two years. Canali and Samuelsohn suits are always in stock and can’t be beat for quality and style. A white Eton with colored buttons or a pattern shirt and tie, and always a pocket square, will set you apart.

Clothes that fit you (we won’t sell you something that doesn’t) will make you feel good. Visit one of our stores, and let us help you find your style.
