Hard work is never something CAT runs from. They are a brand that endeavors to help you get the job done in comfort and style. While they are known for durable clothing that keeps you warm and moving and hardworking boots that don’t give up so you don’t have to, they are also becoming known for their collaboration and sponsorship of Major League Soccer. The newest CAT x MLS collaboration is with none other than star goalie Maarten Paes.

Maarten Paes gained renown as a Dutch footballer who made the jump to the MLS when he was picked up by FC Dallas, where he became an all-star. Now that he has a new collaboration with CAT, he gets an opportunity to create a collection that works as hard as he does.

“When it’s time to go to work on and off the field, I choose Cat,” Paes said. “The brand really represents hard work and dedication to me.”

Launching just in time for you to shop for the holiday season, this capsule collection includes sixteen pieces coming together to create several head-to-toe looks with everything from outerwear & t-shirts to hats & jeans. The collection also includes four Cat Footwear selections from their footwear collections, including the brand’s iconic Intruder Shoe. Working in tandem, Cat and Paes chose pieces to be loved and layered throughout the colder months by every kind of worker. Something is here for you whether you’re commuting to the soccer field or a construction site.

Dandy Del Mar drops new polos to get you ready for the spring
Get the polo that's hot for the market in 2025
Dandy Del Mar blue johnny collar

When the winter starts to be more memory than future dread, your wardrobe will need a seasonal update. Maybe even a seasonal exchange (if you live in NYC, you may understand the off-season wardrobe storage problem). When you are ready for the seasonal updates, picking up some short-sleeve options is the number one item on the list. Everything from tees and button-ups to short-sleeve henleys can make up the perfect spring wardrobe. However, the most classic item for the new season is the polo. The Dandy Del Mar Spring and Summer 2025 hit the shelves a month ago, and they brought great colors and fabrics for us to salivate over. But they added more for our pleasure: new polos to make our warm weather more stylish than ever.
For the love of the johnny collar

There are a handful of polos for your sartorial pleasure when you are ready for the upgrade. While there are some great colors, patterns, and textures to choose from, including moontide and albero in the Cannes Knit polo, dawn in the Antibes Crochet, and The Palamos was blessed with albero and a gorgeous cappuccino. However, the most noticeable aspect of the Dandy Del Mar polo edit is the inclusion of the johnny collar. Many of the Dandy Del Mar polos feature the johnny collar, giving the entire collection the '60s-'70s aesthetic we have always loved about the brand. Now that the weather is starting to turn in our favor, we are ready to have an impossibly stylish spring.

Lee x Buck Mason channel the 40s in their collaborative capsul
Celebrating 80 years of influence and Hollywood grit
Mark Wystrach in Lee x Buck Mason

Lee Jeans have been a staple of the denim industry since the middle of the last century. Since the 1940s, they have been on the cutting edge of denim fashion, and many other denim companies have taken their lead from the old Kansas City powerhouse. Buck Mason has been one of the premier menswear companies for the every man. While big fashion houses get lost in the large-scale production and get distracted by the high fashion of the runways, Buck Mason seems to stay close to us men who love to keep it simple, dependable, and stylish in a masculine way. The two have come together now to celebrate 80 years of influence with the Lee x Buck Mason menswear collection.

“Lee is such a big piece of the puzzle when it comes to American denim and workwear,” said Kyle Fitzgibbons, chief creative officer at Buck Mason. “The 1940s, specifically, that's when we saw the first version of the 101 in modern form. The influence those jeans had on American culture from that point forward, it informs so much of what we do at Buck Mason today. It was like a dream for us, getting to connect those dots.”

Wrangler’s new collaboration makes us kinda hungry
For fans of good burgers and great jeans
Wrangler x Whataburger group

What man doesn't love a great burger? Whether it is barbequed on the back patio, smashed in a great diner, or passed through the window of your favorite fast food restaurant, the world is a better place when there is an excellent cheeseburger in your stomach. It may even be the most popular food in America (arguments could be heard for pizza or hot dogs, but who are we kidding?). We also will never stop raving about a great pair of jeans. Ever since we flocked out west in search of wealth in the form of gold dug from the Earth, we have been a massive fan of the workwear-turned-wardrobe staple. Now, you can celebrate both by collaborating with two of the best brands ever to do burgers and jeans. The Wrangler x Whataburger collaboration is a celebration, maybe even of Americana itself.
A collaboration made in burger heaven

From t-shirts and hats to button-ups and shorts, there is something for everyone in this collection of pieces with Wrangler durability, quality, and Whataburger style. Bright orange is everywhere you look, so there won't be any blending in, and with a burger joint as your style center, why would you want to? One of the most eye-catching pieces is a pair of verticle stripe orange and white pants. Unfortunately, those are only for women, but there is still plenty of Wrangler in this collection in a straightforward area...denim. Whether you are working on the ranch or scarfing a burger, this collection is perfect for you.
