Henleys, denim, waxed jackets, and anything you need for the ultimate man’s wardrobe can likely be found within the collections of Buck Mason. It doesn’t matter if you are the guy who likes to get out into the wilderness and needs some of the most rugged work wear you can find or if you are the guy who needs to find something more elevated like a houndstooth jacket or casual suit for a dinner date, Buck Mason usually has what you need, and they make them accessible for every man. 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.

Paul Smith and Lee reach back to their roots in new collection

Lee x Paul Smith is one of the more important collabs in jeans

Lee x Paul Smith Deneille Robert Percival and Emil Sands

Lee Jeans has been a staple in the denim industry for 50 years, with some of the best workwear on the market. Paul Smith has been a mainstay in England thanks to his dedication to creativity, positivity, and curiosity. The two came together in the 70s to launch Paul Smith's iconic Painters Jeans, distributed in the States by Lee. Five and a half decades later, the two are collaborating again to release a 14-piece limited edition collection that includes jeans, denim jackets, western-style shirts, and T-shirts. The Lee x Paul Smith collection takes the Lee 101 jeans and 101 Stormrider jacket, Lee chore jacket, western shirt, and carpenter pant to reimagine them in distinct Paul Smith patterns like his classic pinstripes and a playful washed jacquard.

“Paul Smith is renowned for its ‘classic with a twist’ aesthetic which fits authentically with Lee’s timeless style. Fans around the world have been waiting for this capsule since June’s initial announcement. At Lee, we can’t wait to see the momentum and excitement the launch generates for both brands.” - Jenni Broyles, Executive Vice-President & Global Brands President, Lee.

Staying dry through the April Showers and May Flowers

The North Face new rain collection

In 1966, a brand emerged with a name defining its goal. The North Face got its name from the most challenging side of the mountain to traverse.

They have now dropped the 2025 rain collection with the goal of getting you from the April showers to the May flowers without spending months soaked to the bone. While they are always stacked with great outdoors gear, there are a few standouts in the collection The North Face released this year for you to consider.
