With nearly 315 years of combined brand longevity, Levi Strauss and Pendleton remain two of the most popular and well-regarded companies in United States fashion history. Launched in 1853, Levi’s pioneered the American blue jean, creating one of the most successful and critically adored garments ever crafted. Subsequently founded roughly ten years later, the Portland, Oregon-based Pendleton Textile Manufacturing Company quickly made a name for itself, manufacturing high-quality fabrics (who doesn’t love a Pendleton wool blanket?) with unique original designs. So considering the wealth of history shared between these two brands, it’s not the least bit surprising to see the two release a stunning collaboration which perfectly celebrates each company’s fashion strengths.

Officially dubbed the Levi’s x Pendleton Fall 2015 collection, the lineup features the historic men’s and women’s line of Levi’s Trucker jackets and work shirts, each of which lined with an exclusively designed Pendleton blanket print. Rounding out the collection is a one-of-a-kind Pendleton wool blanket featuring the exclusive print, adorned with a special “Pendleton and Levi Strauss & Company” leather patch. Simply put, clothing collections don’t get much rarer than this and once it’s gone, good luck finding it anywhere else.

Aside from the sheer uniqueness of the collaboration, each piece looks and feels as authentic as anything manufactured by Levi’s or Pendleton. Featuring a relaxed, modern fit and highlighted with wool denim fabric, the work shirts are poised to become anyone’s next favor piece in their wardrobe. All styles absolutely ooze the authenticity of each esteemed brand, yet carry their own definitive expression which put them in a class of style all their own. What’s perhaps the collection’s crown jewel is that — like everything Levi’s and Pendleton — each product is designed, manufactured, and finished in the United States; a testament to each brand’s iconic heritage.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.
