Now they are looking for the guy who lives the Rocky Mountain life and needs the clothing to aid it. The Buck Mason x Rocky Mountain Featherbed collaboration is a deep dive into vintage Americana.

The story of this collection begins with a man by the name of Cub Schaefer. He built a brand that catered to the ski bums, backpackers, and mountain loyalists who frequented his little majestic corner of the Tetons. His brand, Rocky Mountain Featherbed, blew up until it was forced to close its doors in the 1980s and resurrected by a Japanese brand who kept it going until Buck Mason brought it to the attention of those looking for that moment of majesty. This 17-piece collection brings sweaters, vests, knits, and coats to those looking for a mountain getaway or something to wear for the hard days on the ranch, factory, or any job requiring tough and durable garments.

Stone Island, New Balance bring a vintage look to new sneakers

New Balance, Stone Island release new sneaker

Continuing their collaboration, Stone Island and New Balance again reclaim a classic silhouette. A modern reimagining of a traditional sneaker, the new collaborative sneaker includes all of the brand's performance details. Donning a vintage iteration, the new sneaker is about meshing the two brands' vision for innovation. Using Stone Island’s signature Raso Gommato fabric as inspiration, the design is a classic mix of two iconic brands. The Raso Gammato, inspired by military fabric, has been a part of the Italian brand’s heritage since the 80s. This iconic fabric returns to another classic staple, the New Balance 998. Although this long-term partnership has seen various designs, this release marks the first time the duo has created a Made in USA sneaker, making this an even more special drop.

Taking on the historic 998 model, New Balance and Stone Island have reimagined one of the athletic brand’s most recognizable silhouettes. First introduced in 1993, the New Balance 998 became the first sneaker to incorporate the brand’s ABZORB cushioning, a centerpiece to New Balance’s mission for comfort and performance. In this new sneaker, the duo uses Stone Island’s Raso Gommato, a polyurethane-coated canvas material, for the shoe’s upper. Nubuck overlays and reflective details add texture and dimension to the design’s body. Also included are the classic “N” logo, heel tab, and upper accents. The sneaker will come in a mauve, deep plum, and copper maroon colorway for the drop. To mark the special release, co-branding details can be found throughout the design with the words “new balance 998” and “stone island product research.” Although pricing has not yet been revealed, the sneaker is set to drop on March 27 via Stone Island’s website and select retailers. However, access is limited to those with a valid MyStoneIsland account.

UNTUCKit goes beyond shirts for an ‘Untucked shoe’ with Hari Mari

The most casual shoe from the leader in the elevated casual shirt

UNTUCKit has changed the way that we wear button-up shirts. If you are a millennial or earlier generation, you remember the days when every button-up shirt was made to be tucked in, with really long front flaps and a long tail in the back to keep the shirt in place once tucked. While that is quite helpful for your favorite dress shirt and your best casual shirts, it became a sloppy mess when you wanted to wear it more casually and untuck it. That is where UNTUCKit revolutionized the fashion world. Now, they are teaming up with a company known for some of the best shoes for a great flip-flop. The UNTUCKit x Hari Mari collaboration brings the best casual shoes to the leader of the casual shirt.

"We’re excited to partner with Hari Mari to create a product that perfectly aligns with the UNTUCKit lifestyle—relaxed, stylish, and versatile," said Chris Riccobono, founder of UNTUCKit. "These flip-flops bring together the best of both brands, delivering a truly unique product precisely created and crafted for our customers."
