Hard work is never something CAT runs from. They are a brand that endeavors to help you get the job done in comfort and style. While they are known for durable clothing that keeps you warm and moving and hardworking boots that don’t give up so you don’t have to, they are also becoming known for their collaboration and sponsorship of Major League Soccer. The newest CAT x MLS collaboration is with none other than star goalie Maarten Paes.

Maarten Paes gained renown as a Dutch footballer who made the jump to the MLS when he was picked up by FC Dallas, where he became an all-star. Now that he has a new collaboration with CAT, he gets an opportunity to create a collection that works as hard as he does.

“When it’s time to go to work on and off the field, I choose Cat,” Paes said. “The brand really represents hard work and dedication to me.”

Launching just in time for you to shop for the holiday season, this capsule collection includes sixteen pieces coming together to create several head-to-toe looks with everything from outerwear & t-shirts to hats & jeans. The collection also includes four Cat Footwear selections from their footwear collections, including the brand’s iconic Intruder Shoe. Working in tandem, Cat and Paes chose pieces to be loved and layered throughout the colder months by every kind of worker. Something is here for you whether you’re commuting to the soccer field or a construction site.

Champion and Harley Davidson make moto style comfortable in new collection
Ride a Harley like a Champion
champion x harley davidson group

There is nothing cooler than sitting on the back of a Harley Davidson and cruising along one of the best motorcycle road trips in the country. There is nothing more comfortable than lounging in a set of Champion sweats and watching Netflix. But what if you can be doing both at the same time? Of course, we don't mean watching Netflix in sweats while you're riding a Harley. We mean a collaboration between the iconic sportswear company Champion and the legendary motorcycle company Harley Davidson.

"This collaboration captures the best of both worlds, blending Harley’s rebellious spirit with Champion’s athleticwear heritage. It’s a collection built for those who live boldly—whether on the open road or the city streets," said Erica Bullard, Senior Vice President of Harley-Davidson.

The modern photographer has a new jacket from Leica and AETHER made just for them
Meet the jacket behind the lens
AETHER x Leica Reporter Jacket

Have you ever seen a photo in National Geographic, in a movie, on a website, or on Instagram that completely blew you away? Maybe it was a close-up of a wild animal. Or a shot from a war-torn village. Perhaps it was in the middle of an expansive landscape, the top of a mountain, or from a boat in the middle of an ocean. The point is that someone was there to press the button. Photographers go to some of the planet's most dangerous and remote locations to capture the world for us through a lens. AETHER Apparel is a clothing company built on getting you to those locations with the right coat to keep you warm and dry. Now, they have paired with Leica to bring you The Reporter Jacket, the new companion for photographers willing to go anywhere for the right shot.
“This jacket is the result of countless design discussions starting with Steffen Keil at Leica AG, AETHER’s purpose-driven approach to outerwear, field testing, and guidance from an incredible roster of photographers,” says AETHER co-founder Jonah Smith, who also provided input on the design from his own experience as a photographer. “We’re proud to have designed a jacket that perfectly balances the practical features that a photographer needs with the refined silhouette that they want. For me personally, this project is a dream come true, as I’ve been using Leica cameras for 25 years.”
