Ball and Buck Drops Spring & Summer 2017 Collection

ball and buck spring summer collection
For rugged gear that brings the heritage of the outdoors with the functionality needed for warm weather, the Ball and Buck Spring/Summer 2017 collection is here.

The new offering takes tried-and-true silhouettes from Ball and Buck — including its rugged Hunter’s Shirt and its easy-going, versatile Scout Shirt — and updates them with the sort of functional technology you might find in your favorite gym gear.

The brand says its emphasis is on “creating the highest-quality goods” is matched only by its “commitment to quality and authenticity,” and the specs on the Ball and Buck Spring and Summer 2017 collection back up that approach handsomely. For a brand with outdoor roots and field functionality in mind, it’s a nuanced approach that even the biggest city slicker will love.

The Hunter’s Shirt is offered in a CoolMax Oxford silhouette, just the right way to upgrade your classic Oxford while staying cool and sharp when it finally does heat up. It’s easily wearable with your favorite pair of dark denim or slim chinos and crisp spring sneakers. And the Scout Shirt is another item that can be put to the test either at the office or on that much-loved first spring bar crawl with relative ease — moisture-wicking technology helps out with that.

On the accessories front, the brand taps into its array of rugged, heritage-inspired designs for a covetable weekender bag made with hearty duck cotton and lined in camo. It’s the perfect bag to take with you the next time you dress for travel. And rest assured that even the brand’s shorts are geared to keep you going — they’re made with water-repellent Nylon Taslan fabric for easy stretch and durability.

It’s a head-to-toe collection that makes sense for the guy on the go — even if you’re only commuting through the city and not taking on the great outdoors.

Get Great New Summer Style Essentials from Buck Mason
white tshirt

There are brands that you can reliably turn to each and every season to outfit you in classic style essentials. At least for our money’s worth, Buck Mason is one of those brands. With a focus on Americana staples done in a way that screams “modern man” and not “mountain man,” (think dusty, faded colors and pleasing washes), the below picks are enough to outfit you on as many summer adventures you can handle. With an emphasis on a reliable fit, exceptionally high-quality fabric, and easy wearability no matter what, the entire brand is one we appreciate -- for an investment, of course. That being said, there’s no denying the quality of our favorite picks from Buck Mason for summer (and well, well beyond).
Buck Mason Deck Shorts $65

Those cheap swim trunks you’ve been wearing? Toss ‘em out. The Buck Mason Deck Shorts feature the cut and look of your favorite pair of tailored shorts, made with sun-faded stretch cotton. We like the Vintage Charcoal option for the way it’ll let your your vintage-inspired Hawaiian shirt pop.

Ball and Buck

As made-in-the-USA fashion brand Ball and Buck (a favorite here at The Manual) gets set to mark 10 years in business next year, it’s further engaging its devoted customers with a new online feature called The Hatchery. Launched just two months ago, the feature is a kind of in-house Kickstarter — a crowdfunding platform that allows consumers to submit and vote on new product ideas every few weeks. It is already a big hit with the label’s customers.

Brand founder Mark Bollman — who is also the man behind the traveling weekend pop-up American Field marketplace, with about 75 American-made crafted brands that span everything from apparel to liquor — gave me the lowdown on The Hatchery and what he hopes to accomplish with it.
