Nomad Releases Rendezvous Pants and Scrape Shorts

Thursday, May 29th, 2025

CHARLESTON, SC. (May 29, 2025) – Nomad Outdoor added to its growing line of popular lifestyle clothing with the release of cotton canvas Rendezvous pants and lightweight nylon Scrape shorts.

Rendezvous Pants

Made of stretch cotton canvas, the Rendezvous pants have a soft, broken-in feel from the start. Available in solid earth-tone colors Marl and Overland Trek, the Rendezvous pants offer versatile 6-pocket design for ample storage and EDC carry space without looking like cargo pants.

Rendezvous pants give all-day comfort and are perfect for everyday wear, chores around the property, or an evening out on the town. They are available in men’s sizes from waist 28″ to 42″ and inseams 30″ to 34″.

Rendezvous pants retail for $80 per pair.

Scrape Shorts

Scrape shorts are made of a lightweight nylon and spandex blend to be breathable and comfortable on hot summer days, while still being durable. Secured cargo pockets and back pockets keep your everyday-essentials safe, and DWR water resistant coating keeps the wearer dry and helps repel stains. Scrape shorts come in an attractive shade of green called Moss. They have 9” inseams and are available in men’s sizes from waist sizes 28” to 42”.

Scrape shorts retail for $60 per pair.

Both the Rendezvous and Scrape shorts can be paired perfectly with the newly-released Hollis and Huntley button-down shirts for a classy, casual look that also shows your passion for hunting whitetails and turkeys, or spending time in the great American outdoors.

Muhlenberg College Earns 2025-2026 Military Friendly School Designation

Sunday, April 13th, 2025

Allentown, Pa. (4.8.25) – Muhlenberg College’s Division of Graduate and Continuing Education has earned recognition as a 2025-2026 Military Friendly ® School. Institutions earning the Military Friendly ® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2025-2026 survey with 830 earning special awards for going above the standard.

The 2025-2026 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May and October issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and militaryfriendly.com. Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly ® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community.

“We are honored to once again be recognized as a Military Friendly® School for 2025-2026,” says Vice President of Muhlenberg College Division of Graduate and Continuing Education, AJ Lemheney, Ed.D. “At Muhlenberg, we are deeply committed to supporting our student veterans and military-affiliated learners with flexible, high-quality academic programs and dedicated support services tailored to their unique needs. This designation reflects the strength of our community, the value we place on service, and our ongoing commitment to helping military-connected students succeed in their academic and professional journeys.”

Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey scores with the assessment of the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students, and specifically for student-veterans.

“Military Friendly® is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven standards in our designation process. Our standards provide a benchmark that promotes positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the Military Community. This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages Institutions to evolve and invest in their programs consistently. Schools who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, exceeding the standard.” – Kayla Lopez, vice president, Military Friendly®.

New Fit Exchange by DXL + Military & First Responders Discount Offers New Savings for All Big + Tall Men

Sunday, April 6th, 2025

CANTON, Mass., April 2, 2025 — Destination XL Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: DXLG), the leading integrated-commerce retailer specializing in Big + Tall men’s clothing and shoes, is proud to announce two new cost-saving initiatives designed to bring a heightened level of exceptional value and recognition to its guests – our newly announced Fit Exchange by DXL program and a program supporting those who serve us all.

In late February, Fit Exchange by DXL launched, offering customers an easy way to donate clothing and refresh their wardrobe, while giving back. Customers can bring in clothing that no longer fits them to any of the 250+ DXL Big + Tall or Casual Male XL locations and receive 20% off their in-store purchase of new, better-fitting styles. All donated items will be distributed locally, supporting those in need within the community.

“At DXL, we believe every man deserves clothing that fits perfectly, so he can look good and feel good.” said Harvey Kanter, President and Chief Executive Officer of DXL. “That said, we are dedicated to continuing to find ways to provide value at a time when customers are really looking for it.”

The next exciting announcement is the introduction of the DXL Heroes Discount. This exclusive 15% discount is available to active military personnel, veterans, first responders, healthcare workers, and teachers – both in-store at DXL Big + Tall and Casual Male XL locations, as well as online at DXL.com.

As a token of appreciation for their dedication, this program helps these everyday heroes refresh their wardrobes with great-looking styles that fit comfortably. By teaming up with GOVX, the largest online marketplace dedicated to serving those who serve, DXL will be added to a list of respected retailers offering such discounts.

“These new initiatives are about more than just savings – they’re about empowering our guests to step into the styles they love and to wear what they want,” Kanter went on to say. “Whether it’s through our Fit Exchange by DXL program or exclusive discount honoring heroes, we’re here to ensure every man can find the perfect fit and embrace his unique style.”

“Close and Destroy” by Tom Marshall

Wednesday, January 1st, 2025

I can’t think of a better way to kick off the new year than by touting a novel by my friend Tom Marshall. Many of you will know Tom’s many years of work for Recoil and Off Grid magazines, but fewer still know that Tom is an Army Veteran with service in the GWOT as well as work as a contractor for a prominent PMC.

Tom’s first novel leverages his experience to create an operational environment which will be familiar to many.

Windsor Kraft Strategies is a shadow empire in the murky world of private intelligence and corporatized warfare. Their “Special Mission Troops,” staffed by former military operators and intelligence specialists, are able to discreetly deliver surgical force around the globe, making them a silent partner in American foreign policy.

In the failing nation-state of Daristan, NATO’s long-running counterinsurgency campaign begins to falter when the country’s fundamentalist spiritual leader returns from exile with an army of devout fighters – and covert support from foreign agents looking to upset the balance of world power.

A token force of international peacekeepers, propped up by the Special Mission Troops and their local guerilla units, try to hold the line as coalition governments scramble to shore up exit plans amid the shockwave of violence.

Windsor Kraft’s team must begin evacuating their clients while attempting to stall the newly energized insurgent offensive. But with the clock ticking, the country collapsing, and a hidden enemy hunting them behind the scenes, they must choose between mission accomplishment and self-preservation, or risk being abandoned behind enemy lines by the government that hired them.

The Kindle version is available now with the paperback available for pre-order with a January 14, 2025 release from Amazon.
