The great folks at Flint and Tinder have once again knocked it out of the park with the shirt you didn’t know you needed in your winter wardrobe. Yes, the Texas Moleskin Shirt gets plenty of things right. Take the slim, tailored fit and the comfortable, warm moleskin fabric — then mash that up with its USA-made construction and classic styling details, like a button-down collar and chest pocket. It’s simple, essential and very stylish for winter.

Taking on winter weather — say, dressing for the polar vortex — requires a special kind of style. And that rugged, durable approach should carry right on through to your watch. Made with the technical specs you’d expect from a field and battle-tested watch, the Navy Seal Colormark Watch features Swiss construction and a polycarbonate-reinforced case, plus 200 meters of water resistance. Safe to say, a snow storm won’t be an issue for this watch.

Last but not least — perhaps the most crucial of winter accessories (besides a cozy winter hat, of course). When you want to invest in the best, it pays to go to a brand that rarely missteps with its hand-finished gloves. The Hestra Granvik Gloves are rugged, tough and just what you need when a blizzard hits — and they can work in the fall in place of standard work gloves, too. That’s nearly too good to be true, ehh?

Newest CAT collaboration collection sells out in first week
It was extremely popular and took no time to sellout
CAT x ASSC feature

CAT is as tough as you are. CAT has something for you, whether you are on a construction site, keeping the streets safe, or doing any other hard work vocation. They are the pinnacle of workwear and combine movability with durability while also never sacrificing what looks excellent as well. Then, some collaborations stand above the rest. Most recently, they collaborated with an MLS star to create a great-looking functional collection. However, the latest collaboration from CAT dropped on December 14th and may be the most popular yet, as it sold out in under a week. While the love for a short-run limited edition keeps these happening regularly, we can't lie and say we wish this one had gone on a little longer. We weren't quick enough, but for CAT x ASSC, it is a good problem to have.
Gone in a heartbeat

What made the collaboration so intriguing is the partly the other half of the creative collective. Anti Social Social Club began just under a decade ago when the founder, Neek Lurk (Andrew Buenaflor), used the creative aspect of the brand as an emotional outlet for his depression. Launching it on Twitter and becoming a viral statement of support for emotional health, the brand blew up and has been enjoyed by celebrities such as Kanye West and BTS. They do a lot of collaborations, so it is no surprise that the combination of their streetwear aesthetics combined with CAT's workwear reputation caused this collection to fly off the shelves. We will have to keep our ears to the ground for more coming down the pipe.
