GIVEAWAY: Huckberry x Joshu+Vela Duffle

By Cator Sparks Published August 6, 2021

Winter hibernation is almost over. That means it is time to start ramping up our weekend getaways. With that in mind we have teamed up with Huckberry to offer the chance to win a handsome Joshu+Vela weekender bag.

As you know we are big fans of Huckberry, we even have our own store! And Joshu+Vela is a new office favorite. Founded in San Francisco in 2010 by Noah Guy, they build all of their bags in house with their own machinery so they are in total control of the manufacturing process. Previously Noah worked with several major design companies such as Levi’s and The North Face. Clearly he knows what he is doing.

Yes, Crocs makes a boat shoe — and it actually works

Crocs' recent surprise release is a sophisticated boat shoe

While it may seem as if Crocs are only made to be a casual or leisure shoe you wear around the house, the truth is that the brand also serves to be an all-terrain footwear choice. The brand’s waterproof material makes it ideal for those traversing through muddy or wet conditions, without the added worry of ruining your shoes. This primary benefit of the shoe makes it a good option for unknown outdoor conditions. Although the Crocs shoe boasts comfort and practicality, its traditional clog look makes it slightly more challenging to style with most outfits. In their most recent launch, Crocs seems to remedy this by introducing a new boat shoe that fuses a timeless style with the practical waterproof material it's become known for.

While both styles aren’t set to arrive until next month, they’re the perfect teasers to start teasing a new season.

Shearling returns to men’s fashion with a rugged, refined edge

Designers are reinventing pelts with sustainable and high-end twists

After years of languishing on the sidelines and disappearing entirely from runways, fur (and more specifically shearling) has gained prominence yet again at many fashion houses as designers showcase sustainable fur trends in their latest lines for fall and winter. But with a growing popularity, distinction matters to understand the nuances between fur and shearling.

While both are ideal for the winter months, shearling (tanned sheepskin with wool) offers a layered look that can be found on bomber jackets or as the lining in slippers. The ethical difference between fur and shearling is that sheep are farmed only for food, not for their skin. Shearling is one kind of fur. On one side, it is made of suede, and on the other side, it is made of fur that has been trimmed. The beauty of design lies in each brand making the decision on how to showcase the material for their audience, resulting in a singular aesthetic that can rewrite the rules of innovation. The following are some noted fashion houses that have offered a fresh take in recent collections that don’t compromise style.
