WEAR: The Tourist Shirt from Tradlands
The latest denim button-up from women’s shirting experts Tradlands, the Tourist ($167) is as handsome as it is sensible. Made of 60% cotton (for breathability), and 40% Lyocell (for wrinkle-resistance and durability) it is available in two colors — Catalina, a deep blue and Jet, a washed black denim.

GEAR: The New 22″ Duffel from Topo Designs

Good for three-day weekend getaways and last-minute jaunts up north. Four color ways in 100d Cordura Nylon with veg-tanned leather handles and lash tabs. Nice.
Another item from the Swastika Fuel/Coal Company out of Raton, New Mexico. Looks like a product badge of some sort.

“Hudson Made is an online retailer selling highly curated artisanal products from the Hudson Valley, North Country and Brooklyn. Small batches. Limited quantities. 100% American made.
Late-19th century influences of the Bates stamp and the classic practice of letterpress printing hark back to an earlier time, while maintaining the refinement and clean lines of modernity for this brand identity.
