10 Essentials For Staying In This Weekend
Going out every weekend is—let’s be honest—pretty overrated.
Sure, bars and restaurants and dance clubs can be a fun time every once in a while. But they’re often pricey, loud, and unpredictable too.
Staying in with a selection of your favorite things is the exact opposite: Comfortable, stable, and quiet. That’s why we’ve put together a list of 10 different things that will help you have the perfect weekend at home, with everything from the comfiest clothes to books, whisky, and steaks.
Wellen Hemp Pocket Tee
A good selection of t-shirts should be the foundation of every man’s at-home wardrobe. And among these, it doesn’t get much better than Wellen’s Hemp Pocket Tee. Made from a blend of organic hemp and cotton, it blends the best of comfort, durability, and breathability—all while being easy on the environment too. A slightly generous but refined cut makes it easy to wear without feeling baggy, and the single front chest pocket is perfectly sized for a pair of sunglasses or a small notebook. Definitely worth wearing every day.

Taylor Stitch Apres Pants
Exclusive to Huckberry, the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants (in a charcoal colored waffle weave) are the sort of pants you’re never going to want to stop wearing. Every detail has been attended to to make these the most comfortable house pants of all time: A super soft double-washed waffle weave cloth, elastic at the cuffs and waistband, a drawcord for fine-tuning the fit, and enough pockets to actually hold your everyday carry around the house. They’re as handsome as they are comfortable and versatile, and we think every guy should own a pair to wear around the house.

Allbirds Wool Loungers
We talk a lot here at GearMoose about the virtues of merino wool for base layers, t-shirts, hoodies, and more. But shoes? Yes indeed, the miracle sheep fiber works just as well for footwear as it does for the rest of your closet. Allbirds Wool Loungers prove this out well, utilizing the temperature regulating and stink reducing properties of merino wool paired with extra soft sugarcane based midsoles and grippy rubber outsoles. They’re comfortable to wear just about anywhere, but especially nice to keep as house shoes that will make your feet cozy and comfortable all year long.

Vacationland: True Stories from Painful Beaches
Author, actor, and humorist John Hodgman got his start as the PC in one of Apple’s first viral advertising campaigns, before going on to depict a deranged billionaire on The Daily Show. And now? He’s putting his nerdy talents and strange life experiences to good use as a novelist. Vacationland follows the self-proclaimed “not a rural guy” through his journeys leading up to middle aged adulthood, complete with the self-deprecating humor that Daily Show viewers have come to know and love. It’s a real page turner of a comedy book, and a perfect companion to a weekend in.

Dewars 19 Year Old Champions Edition Whisky
Dewar’s White Label has been the standard of American-style blended Scotch whiskies for decades, owing to its balance of sweet honeyed malt and just enough oak and alcoholic burn to make it interesting. But past the distillery’s basic lineup of offerings, there’s a whole range of fascinating and head-turning spirits—like the 19 Year Old Champions Edition Whisky. Made especially for the 122nd U.S. Open Championship, it’s an extra long aged expression of the classic Dewar’s style, with plenty of butterscotch notes to round out a subtle spice and oak.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max Remote
You may have noticed: Streaming services are getting pretty out of control at this point, right? Between the half dozen different subscriptions that you’d need to watch every one of your favorite shows, maybe cable TV was better after all. At least, that’s the case if you don’t have Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max Remote. With one of these babies, you’ll be able to access over a million different movies and TV episodes from your favorite channels like Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video. That’s enough entertainment to keep you enthralled all weekend long (and each weekend after that too, if you so desire).
