Hawaiian heritage brand

Reyn Spooner

and New York designer

Todd Snyder

 have teamed up for a limited-edition capsule collection that’s all about the Aloha spirit.

The new line comes fresh off the heels of Snyder’s spring and summer 2019 runway show, which featured archival Reyn Spooner prints and fabrics on an array of different items, including long-sleeved shirts, caps, and pants. The collection was bold and colorful, a befitting homage to the classic Reyn Spooner aesthetic that also felt fresh, fashion-forward, and wholly contemporary.

“Reyn Spooner is the original in its space and I have been feeling the return of printed Aloha shirts for the past few seasons,” Snyder explained in a statement. “I wanted to do something authentic, so I decided to go to the source. Like most of my collaborations, I like to work with partners who invented the originals also — the brand was started by a tailor in Hawaii. That really topped it off!”

The authentic connection was a hit on the runway, so much so that the two brands decided to take the catwalk collaboration straight to the online market. The continuation offers five iconic Reyn Spooner printed fabrics in new silhouettes, ranging from Hawaiian shirts to shorts and suits to pants. You can also snag the Aloha prints on specialty totes and hats.

While all the items are playful and fun, the exclusive Reyn Spooner X Todd Snyder Unconstructed Blazer (with matching pants) is a clear standout. Not only is the suit constructed entirely of breathable cotton, but the print (“Old School Reyns” from 1985) features a gorgeous garland of monstera leaves, hibiscus, and Tahitian gardenia, making for a look that’s stylish and totally summer-ready.

Mad Men’s legacy: What ’60s men’s fashion can teach us today
From the conservative '50s to the colorful '70s, here is what we wore in the '60s
Mad Men in an office

Every decade is known for something. The 1920s were a time of industrial boom and women's rights. The 1930s was known for The Great Depression. The 1940s was known for World War II. The 1950s started the Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement. The 1960s saw the boom of counterculture and the Vietnam War. The 1970s began to see the emergence of more social movements like feminism and gay rights. The 1980s were the breaking out point of technology. And the 1990s gave us grunge music and the evolution of the movie industry.

Through all of those decades, fashion evolved along with us. And the '60s fashion men clung to holds a special place in the history of our evolving aesthetic. Gone were the days of the '50s conservative looks, and we weren't quite at the colorful, wild styles of the '70s yet. What we saw in the 1960s was a period of transition. And we may be there again in 2025.

Of course, it has been a show specifically for men, but other aspects like kids, textiles, and fragrances also get in on the mix. This year, Hockerty is getting in on the Pitti Uomo 2025 fun with some vintage throwbacks right at home with this year's fashion trends.
Looks of the past

When you attend Pitti Uomo, you will see many fun things. There are bright colors, intricate patterns, and people dressed to the nines. Everywhere, from street fashion to tailored garments, are on full display. No matter your aesthetic, there is a corner of Pitti Uomo where you can feel welcomed and seen. Hockerty doubled down on the vintage trends that dominate the fashion world right now with everything from flannels to accessories. The big three things showcased with their looks giving the vibe were overcoats draped over men's suits, giving us a solid Al Capone callback, dark but rich colors, and flat caps and fedoras. These are fantastic looks, and Hockerty put on a masterclass for updating old styles in new ways. Weaving yesterday's classic looks into today's modern world is what vintage style is all about.

Aquastar’s Benthos Heritage II watch honors the past with a sleek update
You'll love the new Benthos Heritage II
Aquastar Benthos Heritage II

Aquastar has been rebuilding its legacy in recent years and is now on its A-game, thanks to the new Benthos Heritage II. It's based on a diver watch from the 20th century. Back then, the brand was quite popular for its diver collection. In fact, the Benthos 500 was the go-to watch for the US Navy and other divers in the '70s.

While the new model is not quite similar to the original, it is a continuation of the series, a successor of the watches that came before. The brand implemented the feedback it got from its customers, and one of the most sought-after features was a smaller and compact casing.
