Studying the Manther in all of his glory is like staring at a Renoir. From far away, he is clearly a masterpiece, yet the understanding is superficial. Take a closer look at this stunning species, and myriad intricacies spring to life, overwhelming your senses.
In our ongoing examination of the Manther in his native habitats, we have only begun to piece together his many characteristics. He is as elusive as he is majestic, rendering it nearly impossible to capture his essence but for a fleeting moment. Through our many years of scientific study however, we’ve collected enough empirical evidence to recreate a day in the life of Manther. The following is a dramatization…
**Please note that the many of the items worn in the reenactment can be purchased in our online store**
11:15 a.m. The Morning Hour: This is a time for reflection. A time to savor the succulent memories of last night’s passion, to ponder the natural beauty that surrounds the Manther Den. It is in this state that the Manther is at his most vulnerable and therefore the most difficult moment in which to capture him.
*Our Manther model is wearing our basic white boxers – no funny stuff! – and sipping French Roast from a large mug, both emblazoned with the Mather Crest and available in our online store.
12:00 p.m. Tidying The Den: A Manther’s Den must be kept in a state of maximum seductiveness, which means never leaving evidence of past kills. An essential part of each morning is a thorough inspection of the Den, with special attention paid to the hot tub, pool, shower, leather couch, bedroom, and pool table. Dainty thong underwear is literally designed to slip into cracks and crannies, sliding between cushions and clogging pool filters. Therefore careful maintenance is absolutely necessary to ensure that the next little minx he drags home will not encounter any unsavory items. “Where, oh where, did I leave my leopard bikini….”
*our model is wearing our manly sleeveless t-shirt, embellished with our cursive logo. This t-shirt is great for chores as it allows for freedom of movement (and goes well with pajama pants). Available in our online store.
12:30 p.m. Moment of Zen: Nothing clears the conscience after long sordid night (as well as tones the upper body) like Karate. This ancient practice is believed to cleanse the mind and body of any lingering detritus. In the Manther’s case, sweat that smells like Courvoisier and Stetson. These few precious moments are when the Manther gathers his Chi, restores his manly vigor, and connects to his primal state, readying himself for the hunt that lies ahead.

2:30 Recreation: All work and no play is NOT what the doctor ordered. A Manther must cultivate his playful side through various types of leisurely recreation, such as yachting, golf, skeet shooting, chess, or cigar collecting. A Manther’s many gentlemanly hobbies reinforce his well-rounded charm and provide plenty of excellent material for interesting conversation, i.e. diversion. A Manther in his natural habitat may pursue a surprising variety of non-sexual extracurricular interests with a passion almost equal to that displayed on the hunt.
*Our model is wearing our dashing Manther-Crest Polo shirt. This shirt boasts versatility, elegance, and sophistication. Available in our online store.
4:30 p.m. Learning: The Manther’s mind is thirsty for knowledge and constantly striving for perfection. The increase in competition, due to globalization, has had a rather Darwinian effect on lazy Manthers. To maintain his dominance, the Manther must stay on top of the latest hunting techniques. He spends 1 – 2 hours per day on the learning process, which can include reading, journaling, surfing the web, and watching Magnum P.I.
*Our model is wearing our playful Yellow “Manther Man” t-shirt. As you can see, the design is incredibly versatile and can be worn with anything from a tweed blazer to dolphin shorts. Mandals not available in our online store….sorry.
5:30 p.m. Preparation: As the day winds down and sunset cocktail hour approaches, the Manther must get himself in the hunting mood. This usually entails trying on new wardrobe items, snacking on gourmet hors d’hoeuvres , or frolicking around his Manther Den. It is his last carefree moment before he must cultivate a laser-like focus on the night’s work.
