Freenote Cloth has just unveiled its spring collection, which features a new selection of denims, fresh wovens, and light jackets tailor-made for warm weather days.

As with every season, the latest look book evokes the American-made brand’s California roots, setting the muted men’s essentials against the bright colors of a western landscape.

Here, the rugged aesthetic for which Freenote has made its name is expressed in an array of updated takes on classic Americana silhouettes.

In denim, the line boasts the Rios Slim Straight, a raw black Japanese denim. Made from selvedge denim, the streamlined pants feature a bevy of exciting leather details, including a branded leather patch and signature leather rivets.

For a roomier option, the collection offers the Portola Taper denim. It’s a classic taper that offers more room in the top block but still gives the look of a slim pant. It includes the same leather features as the Rios—both retail for $250.

Building on the brand’s already rich selection of rider’s jackets, the spring collection debuts the RJ2 (a zipper rider built of waxed canvas, $400) and a pair of classic denim jackets, the Royal Cast and Broken Twill ($280). The Royal Cast is made of a lighter cast indigo denim than the twill, which gives it its brighter hue.

To accompany the denim and jackets, the line has the Jepson, one of Freenote’s favorite flannel cuts ($200). This lightweight iteration comes in white and blue, colors that make it the perfect compliment for a sunny spring day.

Other tops include the Indigo Gingham ($180) and the Gilroy, a 100% cotton garment with double front pocket details, a light indigo brush and vintage metal detailing ($200).

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.
