The Melton coat is an iconic addition to any coat wardrobe, but it has some problems: 1 – it is light for the winter weather, so there are only a few months you can wear it. 2 – it has high dry cleaning costs due to the wool. The Ministry of Supply Mercury Heated Town Coat solves both of those issues as the wool is machine washable, and it offers a flexible and feather-light carbon nanotube panel that provides three levels of instantaneous, adjustable heat – plug in a USB-C battery, hit the power button and get back to your day.

Lee x Buck Mason channel the 40s in their collaborative capsul

Celebrating 80 years of influence and Hollywood grit

Mark Wystrach in Lee x Buck Mason

Lee Jeans have been a staple of the denim industry since the middle of the last century. Since the 1940s, they have been on the cutting edge of denim fashion, and many other denim companies have taken their lead from the old Kansas City powerhouse. Buck Mason has been one of the premier menswear companies for the every man. While big fashion houses get lost in the large-scale production and get distracted by the high fashion of the runways, Buck Mason seems to stay close to us men who love to keep it simple, dependable, and stylish in a masculine way. The two have come together now to celebrate 80 years of influence with the Lee x Buck Mason menswear collection.

“Lee is such a big piece of the puzzle when it comes to American denim and workwear,” said Kyle Fitzgibbons, chief creative officer at Buck Mason. “The 1940s, specifically, that's when we saw the first version of the 101 in modern form. The influence those jeans had on American culture from that point forward, it informs so much of what we do at Buck Mason today. It was like a dream for us, getting to connect those dots.”
