Rhone Tiny House-Style Pop-Up Store Hits the Road for U.S. Tour

By

East Coast activewear brand Rhone is known for quality shorts, shirts and anything else you’d need to get your sweat on. While their workout gear has only been available online and in select brick & mortar stores since the company’s start in 2014, they’ve opened a limited engagement store in New York City and launched Rhone pop-up tour in a tiny home they’re calling Walden House.

The NYC store is a 247-square-foot shop in Brookfield Place near Battery Park featuring vintage and repurposed elements to match the ethos of the company. Walden House is an even smaller retail space (192 square feet) modeled in the tiny house-style and completely towable by truck. The store features reclaimed wood, organic materials, and other energy-saving features within the footprint that’s meant to invite plenty of natural light.

To create Walden House, Rhone partnered with New Frontier, a design firm that specializes in building mini structures. Together, they’ve created a special shopping experience that should mold nicely to each tour stop. The storefront is similar to some of the buildings that New Frontier has featured on various HGTV programs. They blend together functionality, style, and environmental considerations into 21st century commerce that still has a personal touch.

Sunday Swagger adds some personality to your holidays
Add color and patterns to your Christmas polo
Sunday Swagger Jingle Juice

We talk a lot about style here. It is what we do. We want you to look your best so you can feel your best. We want you to wake up every morning excited about getting dressed and tackling all the world has to throw at you. We also want you to have fun. Life isn't worth living if you can't have fun with who you are and what you wear. Sometimes, our conversations about style can start to feel a little stuffy. We can focus too much on timeless classics that never go out of style. We can focus on those colors that are trending every single season. Sometimes, we forget to remind you to have fun and display your personality. The Sunday Swagger Holiday Collection reminded us this year to loosen up and approach this holiday season with something a little more unique. Something that we can embrace that isn't based on fashion or style. Us.
Ditch the boring and embrace the daring

Sunday Swagger's Holiday Collection is more of what we have come to expect from Mark Carmona. Since he founded his brand in 2019, he has provided men with clothing that combines style, comfort, and durability while allowing them to showcase their personalities. The brand excels at developing unique patterns in bright colors that break the mold of the typical everyday golf polo. This year, they did it again for the holiday season to allow you to be the talk of the party. Who knows, if you wear the Jingle Juice polo, it may remind people to keep your cup filled. You're welcome.

Stellar Equipment redefines the mid-layer for the ski season
Wear this for the perfect mid-layer or on its own
Stellar Equipment hooded jacket on man

Some people think that when the seasons change and the days get shorter, that adventure will need to wait until the spring. Then others don't allow the change of the weather, the falling of the snow, or the shorter hours to stop them from adventure. Still, there are some who thrive in the latter environment -- at home in the cold and dark winters on the mountain. Whichever camp you fall into, there is a need for you to grab the best possible gear for the moment. That is where the Stellar Equipment Free Padded Concept capsule collection comes into play. While they are no secret to preparing you for the mountain excursion, they may have just revolutionized the industry and changed the mid-layer forever.
Good for a mid-layer or a standalone

The Swedish brand Stellar Equipment is one of the top places to go when it comes to wanting to get into the woods or on the mountain. Whether you are free riding or ski-touring through uncharted paths of snow, you will need to protect yourself, and they are a top-of-the-line technical layering system that does the job. You may be familiar with their alpine best-seller, the Steller Shell System. But this new concept takes Japanese craftsmanship and weaves an insulation layer into its stitching, making this the perfect layering option to keep you on the trail. The best part about it isn't that it is good for the new mid-layer but also perfect for your Apres Ski celebrations or your run into town for coffee.

Twenty year skiing legend creates alpine gear fit for special forces
OR and skiing legend come together for the perfect alpine set
Outdoor Research athlete Mark Abma

Outdoor Research has been a trusted source for alpine gear since it burst on the stage in the early eighties. When Ron Gregg, a nuclear physicist, grew frustrated with the lack of dependable gear for the harsh environments, he dedicated his life to improving the industry for others. If anyone can figure out how, it is a nuclear physicist, right? Over four decades later and we are looking at one of the most technologically advanced alpine sets to hit the market. The Outdoor Research x Mark Abma set is not only perfect for any skier, climber, or outdoor enthusiast but it is also developed with United States Special Forces in mind, even giving them their own exclusive colorway.
Stealth good enough for special forces soldiers

The Skitour Ascentshell Collection consists of a jacket with the brand's air-permeable electrospun AscentShell Air 3L material, which offers unparalleled breathability without sacrificing durability, and a pant with a hybrid-mapped construction.
