The Pacific Northwest is one of the most picturesque areas in the United States, maybe the world. The wooded areas are home to countless animal species and the kind of wilderness you can get lost in, both in the good ways like camping, hiking, and forest bathing and in the bad ways where you could never be heard from again. That is why heading out into these woods and experiencing the beautiful dangers of the wilderness requires planning, gear, and, for Danner, the right apparel and footwear. That is why the company dropped the Danner Performance Heritage Collection, which prepares you to face everything the beautiful landscapes offer.

The 46-piece collection contains men’s, women’s, and unisex pieces ranging from outerwear to pants to hats, keeping you warm, dry, and enjoying every moment outdoors.

Deeply rooted in the PNW

Danner Woodsman Pants — Danner

There is no one better to trust to get you around the woods and the outdoors than the people who spend time in the environment themselves. Danner is deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest, making them the clear go-to experts for all things woodland excursion.

“The Performance Heritage Collection reflects the casualness of how folks enjoy the outdoors in the PNW—our backyard. We can be in the middle of the woods, stand in a river, and adore rock formations in the high desert all on the same day,” Yoji Kaneda, Director of Lifestyle Footwear/Apparel for Danner, says of his friends and family in the area. “The variety of materials used in this collection ranges from natural materials like cotton, leather, and down, combined with technical water-resistant treatments and modern materials like Cordura, GORE-TEX, and Primaloft. The styles are a reflection of our material knowledge learned from decades of boot-making history. Sometimes, garments don’t need to look or feel a certain way to enjoy the outdoors.”

KESTIN goes with the flow with SS25 collection

Disappear to the blanket bog of Northern Scotland

KESTIN SS25 colorful jacket

There are some things about Scotland that everyone can say they love with a passion. There is the kilt; c'mon, those things are the definition of manliness. Who doesn't love watching Mel Gibson and his friends best the English? Golf. We love golf, and we can't for the life of us figure out how they invented this game with all that Scottish whiskey around. That's another one, Scottish whiskey. But one of the things that is more divisive about Scottland is the weather. There are a lot of gray days with a ton of rainfall, creating bog lands all over the country. One of those boglands is called Flow Country and is the inspiration for the KESTIN Spring and Summer 2025 collection. Whether you are looking for suiting or light outerwear, these are the perfect garments for Northern Scotland's dreary and somehow romantic weather.
Perfect for the cool and rainy atmosphere of Northern Scotland

If you are braving the wet weather, the high winds, or any other of the less than ideal conditions, the suiting in this collection is the perfect friend you need for the day. The Stac Blazer combines a heritage chore coat with the more traditional suit coat, making it the combination of style and function you need this spring. The collection also uses Japanese seersucker fabric with custom floral prints that give you the spring feel every spring and summer collection should have. And no KESTIN SS collection would be complete without the annual ORMISTON jacket; this year sports a Japanese jacquard.

Say goodbye to wrinkles: How to fold a shirt like a pro

Packing or storing, keep your shirts wearable

Flannel folded

Let's face it: We all want everything in our lives to be easier than they already are. If we could design our lives we would wake up and the coffee is already brewed. Breakfast is already made. We would be able to go through our lives without having to spend time on all of the most mundane tasks that litter our day. If you are anything like us, one of the most mundane and dreaded tasks that litter our day and are the bane of our existence is the laundry. In particular, once the laundry comes out of the dryer, you must make that trip from the basket to its final storage space.

Alas, the world is still such that we don't have robots doing our household chores for us so we have to learn how to do things for ourselves. One of the most important parts of doing your laundry is folding the garments so they are unwrinkled when you want to wear them. Here is how to fold a shirt the best way to keep it wearable whenever you want to look your best.

CNCPTS x Burton celebrates three decades with ‘Rabbit Hole’

Skate or Snow, this is a collaboration 29 years old

CNCPTS x Burton hat and fleece

Whether you are a fan of skating or snowboarding, you are likely familiar with CNCPTS apparel and Burton Boards. Both have been a mainstay in the industry for a long time and have been frequent collaborators. Now, 29 years after they first got together, they unite again for the CNCPTS x Burton Rabbit Hole collection. They are also bringing in Todd Bratrud, legendary illustrator and designer who created some of the most sought-after footwear collaborations of the early 2000s to make the collection unique and dig into the brand's heritage.

“We have skateboard culture to thank for CNCPTS relationship with Burton, so when we approached this project, we wanted to incorporate aspects of both into the product,” says CNCPTS Creative Director Deon Point. “We have the utmost respect for everything Todd has given to the world of skate. While the footwear iterations allowed us to get creative, there’s only so far you can take it with materials and execution. Todd’s artwork took the inspiration behind each project to new heights.”
