FINALLY! Beach season is right around the corner. While you might be worrying about booking vacations and toning up that six-pack (OK, four-pack?) there’s one thing you don’t have to worry about – your beach towel. Vertty towels have you covered (literally). You’ve never seen anything like these – four inches longer and 30 percent lighter than you’re run of the mill beach towel – these guys are really stunning and completely wacky. They are made from eco-friendly materials – including Ketten (a fancy term for 90 percent cotton and 10 percent polyester), which means they will dry faster – no one likes a soggy beach towel.

It all started when Vertty’s CEO Diogo Cruz wanted to turn a simple object like a towel – into something extraordinary. Cruz and his team of experts produce the line in his home of Portugal – with the purpose of helping his country’s economy.

So what makes these handmade beach towels so brilliant?

Well to start – their shape, patterns, and vibrant colors. There are nine color choices to choose from: classic orange, classic blue, classic green, yellow, midnight blue, coral, enigma, savvy, and jade. The nontraditional cutout and ziz-zag shape is different and cool, while the geometrical pieces give these future summer-staples an added amount of style.

Oh, and did we mention that they also have a waterproof pocket to hold your cell phone? BOOM.

Memorial Day is just around the corner, so make sure to pick up a towel or two at www.tryvertty.com

Taylor Stitch proves that Made in America is still popular

International production may be popular but Made in America is selling out

Taylor Stitch Made in USA jacket

Many clothing brands make a decision at some point during the scale-up phase to ship manufacturing jobs overseas in an effort to increase their profits. That, in turn, increases the value of their stocks, and the growth just skyrockets from there. However, that means jobs go away and, in a lot of ways, means the quality suffers a little. That is why garments that are made in America just feel different. They feel stronger and more durable and let you take a feeling of pride in what you wear. That is why Taylor Stitch put together a collection of items Made in America that embody the spirit of home while making you look and feel great. But before you run over to the site and grab up all you can, you need to know one thing about the Taylor Stitch Made in America collection.
Items are flying off the shelves

The three most significant and most popular items in the collection are a collaboration with San Francisco legend Golden Bear Sportswear, the Golden Bear Snap Bomber, which balances vintage curb appeal with heirloom quality construction to earn its place as the go-to statement piece in your wardrobe. While it still has limited sizes available, the the Camp Pant in Rigid Indigo Sashiko and Mill Shirt Jacket in Rigid Indigo Sashiko are completely sold out. What does that tell us? Other than Taylor Stitch makes excellent quality homemade products, the people love them. We will keep our eye on those in hopes that they come back. Partly for you and partly because we want to get our hands on them as well.

thisisneverthat, Dr. Martens drop two workwear boots you absolutely need

Dr. Martens releases new collaboration

models starting at dr martens in midair

Although Dr. Martens has built its legacy as a go-to for boots, it’s hardly been considered rugged material- until now. With their latest collaboration with thisisneverthat, Dr. Martens is taking its classic styles and giving it a tough upgrade. Donning a new look each, these are far from the fresh and sleek new boots you’ve grown accustomed to. These new workwear boots are made to be worn out, give your footwear a unique story, and maximize use. Using iconic details from both brands, the latest workwear boots will add style to your everyday looks.

Banana Republic taps The White Lotus star for SS25 campaign

Nicholas Duvernay is a model for the first time

Banana Republic

Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn't a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

"Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles," says Nicholas Duvernay. "The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic."
