Mitscoots Outfitters was born out of a desire to help others.

The Austin, Texas-based company sells outstanding outdoor gear, socks, shirts, beanies, scarves, gloves– but its main purpose is to provide work to people transitioning out of homelessness.

On any given night in the United States, one of the richest and most powerful countries in the world, a staggering 633,782 people are sleeping on the streets. Veterans make up about 13%, children are 22% of that number, and 42.6% are disabled or otherwise unable to gain employment. There’s no single reason someone becomes homeless, but poverty, mental illness, domestic violence, lack of health care, and job loss are some of the major factors. Once homeless, it’s an enormously difficult cycle to break.

That’s where Mitscoots steps in. They help break this cycle in two really important ways. The first is they give what you get: When you purchase something– socks, a beanie– they give that item, in your name, to one of a number of charities and organizations all over the country.

The second, and perhaps most important thing they do, is provide jobs. Actual, sustainable work.

Cause Caps are a major part of this initiative. The hats are all made in the US, providing jobs in the dwindling American manufacturing sector. Made of brushed twill, they’re soft, malleable, classic and tear-resistant. And the hats are packed up and shipped out by men and women on the path out of homelessness. If that’s not awesome enough, these Cause Caps are made with rigorous standards and come with a five year guarantee: you see one thread out of place and Mitscoots will repair it for free.cause caps kickstarter

A Kickstarter campaign for Cause Caps earned well over its initial goal of $17,500, suggesting this is a problem people are passionate about solving. Plus, they’re pretty bitchin’ hats.

Mitscoots is solving problems simply by providing quality products and quality jobs.

Music is the connective tissue that spreads through society like veins in the body, carrying the melody to far-separated parts of the world and bringing them together through storytelling and movement. The culture of music has been strong as long as man has been able to commune together around a fire. It has influenced culture in every way imaginable, and the music world is no different. Whether it is the denim jacket of the hair bands in the 80s or the Beatles and Rolling Stones reinventing the style of Chelsea boots, music and fashion are intricately linked to one another. The Keinemusik x Highsnobiety collaboration marks another link between the two that embodies the culture and connectivity we all crave.
Collaboration with culture at the center

CEO David Fischer, in 2009, Highsnobiety endeavors to be the intersection of fashion, style, art, design, and music. Collaborations with big brands like Levi's, Nike, Merrill, Carhartt, and more bring them to the closets of every man across the globe. Their newest collaboration with one of the biggest German music labels will do nothing but continue the trend.

Last year, the incredibly popular race syndicate Formula 1 debuted in Las Vegas. Seemingly reworking the entirety of the Vegas Strip, it created and ran an exhilarating race that saw Max Verstappen take the win and finish just under 90 minutes, with Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez coming in behind him only seconds away. While the race was the draw, countless brands showed up to provide race fans with various souvenirs. PacSun is returning this season, but the PacSun F1 Las Vegas Collection isn't only great clothing; a limited edition garment accompanies it.

“After such a strong reception last year, we’re excited to bring Pacsun’s F1 collection back to Las Vegas,” said Richard Cox, Chief Merchandising Officer at Pacsun. “As anticipation grows ahead of the second year of this fantastic Grand Prix, we cannot wait to offer fans more race-inspired apparel to connect them to the action.”
