Abercrombie & Fitch x McLaren event — Abercrombie & Fitch

Max Verstappen of the Red Bull racing team grabbed his fourth Formula 1 world championship this weekend in the still relatively new venue of Las Vegas. Verstappen joined Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Alain Prost, and Juan Manuel Fangio as the sixth driver to win four world championships, making him one of the most legendary drivers the sport has seen. That isn’t the only legend that showed out in Vegas, as Abercrombie & Fitch x McLaren joined forces to celebrate the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The celebration included appearances by McLaren Racing Drivers Oscar Piastri and Bianca Bustamante (who have accumulated four wins between them), exclusive Abercrombie & Fitch McLaren Formula 1 Team Merchandise, specialty cocktails, and a performance by Los Angeles DJ Veggi.

Abercrombie & Fitch and McLaren came together to celebrate the Vegas Grand Prix Formula 1 weekend with a one-of-a-kind meet-and-greet with professional drivers on the McLaren Racing team: Oscar Piastri and Bianca Bustamante. On Tuesday, November 19th, the drivers spent two hours pressing the flesh with fans and shoppers at the Abercrombie & Fitch Fashion Show Mall store. The brand is no stranger to Formula 1 collaborations, so this match was made in Heaven. If you missed the event, it is likely these two will come together again next time for another opportunity. In the meantime, check out Abercrombie & Fitch’s McLaren collection to tide you over. Our favorite pieces are the Harrington Jacket and the Varsity Bomber Jacket, and the graphic tees are perfect for a weekend on the strip.

Lee x Buck Mason channel the 40s in their collaborative capsul

Celebrating 80 years of influence and Hollywood grit

Mark Wystrach in Lee x Buck Mason

Lee Jeans have been a staple of the denim industry since the middle of the last century. Since the 1940s, they have been on the cutting edge of denim fashion, and many other denim companies have taken their lead from the old Kansas City powerhouse. Buck Mason has been one of the premier menswear companies for the every man. While big fashion houses get lost in the large-scale production and get distracted by the high fashion of the runways, Buck Mason seems to stay close to us men who love to keep it simple, dependable, and stylish in a masculine way. The two have come together now to celebrate 80 years of influence with the Lee x Buck Mason menswear collection.

“Lee is such a big piece of the puzzle when it comes to American denim and workwear,” said Kyle Fitzgibbons, chief creative officer at Buck Mason. “The 1940s, specifically, that's when we saw the first version of the 101 in modern form. The influence those jeans had on American culture from that point forward, it informs so much of what we do at Buck Mason today. It was like a dream for us, getting to connect those dots.”
