Win Free Stuff: Ball and Buck’s New Active + Collection for the Outdoorsman

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

With spring right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking shorts again. Our friends at Ball and Buck have come out with a new active collection that has us stoked for summer.

Creating the highest-quality goods, Ball and Buck is a brand for the sporting gentleman while supporting American jobs in manufacturing. But don’t think this is some out of reach brand for hedge fund managers and tech-bros. Founded in 2008, these guys live the life and know what works. And, even though the brand is American made, the prices aren’t through the roof.

To get you pumped for warmer weather, our friends at Ball and Buck are giving away two items from their newest Active + Collection: the Active Short + and the Anglers Shirt +.

THE 6 POINT ACTIVE SHORT +

Made with 3.4oz Nylon Taslan fabric, these shorts have a quick-dry water repellent finish. We are fans of the adjustable waistband, the antique brass button fly, and mesh pocket inserts for drainage for when you cannonball into the local lazy river (just take out your phone first).

THE ANGLERS SHIRT +

This water resistant, lightweight shirt features both button up sleeves and a roll-tab breast pocket to attach Ball and Buck’s Versa Fly Patch to keep your flies safe when you’re spending your days out on the water.

For your shot at a chance to win this $275 value (in the form of some damn sharp quick dry shorts and light weight anglers shirt), simply provide your name and email below. You can also get bonus entries by following us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and signing up for our newsletter. The contest runs from March 22, 2017 through March 29, 2017, with the winner notified shortly thereafter.

Kith and Birkenstock are no strangers to working with one another. In fact, the two brands have produced chic and practical styles that have become fan-favorites fast. As part of Kith’s runway return, the label run by Ronnie Fieg introduced a series of collaborative footwear with numerous brands, including Adidas and Birkenstock. While Adidas’ collaboration sees various iterations of the Superstar sneaker, Birkenstock and Kith unveiled one design that’s sure to become a fall staple. A continuation of their previous London clog collaboration, the duo is now taking their braided details to the Boston silhouette for an equally stunning design. A stylish upgrade to the leisurely clog, this slip-on shoe is not your typical house slippers.

Parmigiani Fleurier new Tokyo store

Parmigiani Fleurier has launched its first Asian boutique in Tokyo's Ginza district, establishing a flagship presence on the coveted Chuo-dori avenue while the broader watch industry remains cautious about expansion.
Located at 7-chome Chuo-dori in Tokyo's luxury shopping quarter, the boutique demonstrates the Swiss manufacturer's dedication to the Japanese market through its partnership with Art Gear Capital K.K., a leading watch distributor in Japan.
The store's weathered facade interacts beautifully with surrounding reflections, creating visibility and vibrant presence among Ginza's most celebrated retail destinations. Swiss design studio Atelier OÏ crafted the interior layout to work with the avenue's characteristic tall architecture, maximizing every space for fluid movement and vertical flow.
The boutique features two floors serving different purposes. The ground floor welcomes customers into a warm, minimalist environment with light wooden furniture and plush seating that creates a tranquil atmosphere. The upper floor provides private areas where collectors and enthusiasts can explore new collections and exceptional timepieces with personalized service.
Interior elements harmonize perfectly with Japanese cultural values, offering an immersive experience enhanced by soft lighting reminiscent of dawn, touches of architectural greenery, and guilloché patterns that represent the brand's distinctive aesthetic.
The Ginza opening reflects the shared values of authenticity and excellence between Parmigiani Fleurier and a region renowned for appreciating horological craftsmanship. The timing demonstrates the brand's confidence in long-term growth within the Japanese luxury market.
This expansion strengthens Parmigiani Fleurier's Asian presence, establishing a foundation for deeper relationships with discerning Japanese collectors who treasure Swiss expertise and manufacturing heritage.
The boutique is now open at 7-chome Chuo-dori, Ginza, Tokyo.
