Coastal Life: Howler Brothers

By

It’s finally starting to warm up around the country, we have daylight well into the evening, and spring breakers are sleeping their collective hangovers off, so that can only mean one thing: It’s time for some warm weather adventures. Whether this spring takes you to tropical destinations for some dawn patrol surfing, or further north in pursuit of cold rivers and late evening fly-fishing, you need to prepare for the water with the best spring gear. We’ve been testing some of the apparel and gear from the new Spring Line from Howler Brothers while fly-fishing and climbing our way through the West, and we can easily say that we’ve found your new favorite beach and mountain apparel.

Gaucho Snapshirt
Taking design cues from classic western style button-up shirts, the Gaucho Snapshirt is the foundation of the Howler line. Classic pearl snaps and pleated chest pockets are combined with quick drying fabric and a vented back yoke. The unique embroidery touches – from roosters to palm trees – round out this perfect summer weight travel shirt. Whether you’re jetsetting far afield or simply fishing your favorite local river, this shirt is what you should reach for.

Smith x Howler Brothers Sunglasses
Howler teamed up with Smith Optics this Spring to launch a limited edition run of co-branded sunglasses. Our pair of Docksides has taken us above the treeline chasing spring snow in Jackson Hole, and helped spot monster trout along the Green River in Utah. The chromapop lenses are etched with the Howler monkey logo, and increase contrast and depth perception by selectively amplifying certain color wavelengths. The custom matte tortoise frames with a touch of Howler’s signature orange will stand out in any environment. If you’re looking for a more toned back look, they’ve also got a pair called the Lowdown that will handle urban settings nicely.

Bruja Boardshorts
The retro styled Bruja Boardshorts are a simple, elegant answer to the typical too-short hipster swim trunks and too baggy “bro” beach attire. A nine inch inseam and comfortable polyester microfiber body ensure that these shorts will be your go-to for days on the beach or lake for seasons to come. With half a dozen color options, you may just have to get a few pairs for that Memorial Day weekend trip to Key West.

Urbane & Gallant revamped with Project Runway champion
Jeffrey Sebelia revamps his brand in LA
Urbane & Gallant

There is a lot in a name. Some names you hear, and you know all you need to know about the person or the brand. Urbane & Gallant has a name that screams all you need to know about the clothing you're about to get. To be urbane is the mark of a gentleman, a man who is courteous and sophisticated. A man who is gallant exudes chivalry and bravery. The two sentiments together give the image of the kind of man we should all want to be. Urbane & Gallant is revamping with the talents of Project Runway Season 3 champion, Jeffrey Sebelia, with these ideas specifically in mind. “We create clothing for men who desire more than just style—they seek meaning, says Sebelia. "Masculinity combines strength, care, and the desire to elevate others. At Urbane & Gallant, every piece is a testament to these ideals.”

Patrick Schwarzenegger killed the double breasted look for The White Lotus Season 3 premiere
The White Lotus star killed on the red carpet with a Banana Republic suit
Patrick Schwarzenegger at White Lotus Season 3 premier outfit hero

Patrick Schwarzenegger has a relatively recognizable name. You may or may not have heard of his father, The Terminator himself. He is not waiting around living off the former governor's name; he is carving out a name for himself with his own appearances in big movies. From smaller parts in The Benchwarmers (2006) and Grown Ups 2 (2013) to more prominent roles in The Long Road Home (2017) and The Terminal List (2022), he has started to become a star in his own right. His newest role may be his most popular as he shocked the world by putting more on display than many of us were expecting. What we can't stop thinking about, though, is his stellar look from the premiere from the popular brand, Banana Republic.
1940s inspiration on the red carpet

Banana Republic has some of the best and most accessible suiting for the guy who needs one quickly. However, this piece worn by Schwarzenegger is a custom job and gives us a precise feel and reminds us of something from a bygone era. The suit fabric, sourced from the Marzotto mill in Northern Italy, is from the mill's archives and inspired by 1940s wool mohair. The fit of the suit gives us a modern version of the 40s gangster double-breasted classic. The modern high-twist wool provides the fabric with a dry hand and structure, reinforcing the brand's commitment to impeccable quality, rich textures, and modern versatility. Put that on Patrick Schwarzenegger, and you have the makings of something people won't stop talking about.

thisisneverthat x New Balance 1000 

With the New Balance 1000 silhouette serving as the base, this new design sees this retro sneaker get a few Y2K-inspired upgrades. The shoe strongly resembles the early 2000s sneakers that took over the trends using white mesh upper construction and metallic silver overlays. The pair has also opted for bold orange accents to highlight the shoe’s cobranding details, adding a pop of color. The accent color is also used throughout the sneaker on the eyelets and in parts of the midsole. Finishing the bottom section of the shoe is a white midsole and black rubber outsole. While the sneaker is already available via thisisneverthat’s website, the shoe will see a global release on New Balance’s web store on March 7. Crafted with nostalgic colors and construction, this sneaker is the ultimate retro-inspired footwear option to accent your athleisure looks.
