Smart, stylish and commuter-friendly gear just got easier to find, thanks to Brunswick Park. And even with only two products in their arsenal to date, it’s clear that they’re hitting the difficult-to-reach niche of comfort, style and performance.

Less “athleisure” and more geared toward those who are always on the go yet value a great fit, Brunswick Park makes simple upgrades to everyday menswear essentials. Whether you need gear to easily pack into your stylish leather weekender or a jacket to wear during your commute — and at the office — the brand has you set. The Brunswick Park Blazer is made from the brand’s custom Merino wool — the wool is bonded to polyester spacers to help the jacket hold its reliably tailored shape.

And small, oft-overlooked design touches add to the blazer’s utility — take the pocket at the wrist, just big enough to hold credit cards or cash. Available in three colors, including a slate grey and a more eye-catching burgundy, this blazer is the perfect grab-and-go piece to pair with your favorite chambray shirt and classic dark denim, or chinos and a rugged henley for a bit of high-low style. Its utility is only enhanced by the fact that it’s machine-washable — a true rarity among blazers.

For off-duty style, Brunswick Park takes that same approach — performance-based fabrics in reliable colors and great fits. That’s certainly the case with the Brunswick Park Hoodie, made with the same Merino wool blend for comfort, breathability and machine-washable functionality.

It’s off-duty style that doesn’t sacrifice looks — it’s definitely not your old college hoodie, to say the least. Heck, you could feasibly layer the hoodie under the blazer for a bit of casual comfort that still works as you dress for Sunday brunch or spend a relaxing day around town.

Layer it up with a thermal long-sleeve shirt and your favorite pair of black denim for unexpected, yet crisp, casual style. And team it with slim chinos and a classic Oxford for similarly versatile style, no matter where you go. That’s the beauty of Brunswick Park — and that’s why you should consider buying gear from the brand ASAP.

Cozy Up Under the Best New Blanket You’ve Never Heard Of

chantam blankets feature blanket

Spend too much time listening to the news these days, and you’ll be convinced it’s the end of the world: you need a good throw blanket. Current events notwithstanding, on a chilly winter’s night it’s great to snuggle up in one with your favorite warm beverage -- or body -- of choice. The Chatham Blanket may be just the thing for days and nights like these, coming complete with a deep history of Made-in-U.S.A. quality combined with 21st-century resourcefulness.

Alex Chatham is an industrial designer -- whose projects include Peloton -- based in New York City. He is the namesake -- and great-great-grandson -- of Alexander Chatham, an entrepreneur who installed a wool card (the machine that is the first step in turning wool into yarn after it’s been shorn) in his North Carolina mill in 1877. For five generations the Chatham family produced wool blankets that were sold across the United States and were even used by the Army and Navy in World Wars I and II. Like so much American manufacturing in the late 20th century, though, the company suffered from foreign competition and closed its doors in 1990.

This All-American Gear Brand Breathes New Life Into One-of-a-Kind Vintage Leather Goods

Filson

Few materials embody the warmth, timelessness, and handsome good looks of leather. There’s a reason it’s been the go-to choice for outfitting everyone from cowboys to athletes to businessmen for centuries. Filson, one of our favorite outfitters, has been dealing in fine leather goods since the turn of the 19th century. This year, however, the brand has just announced one of its sharpest collections yet.

This month, the Seattle-based outfitter released a limited-edition collection of one-of-a-kind, hand-tooled leather goods. From inside the Filson Workshop, the company’s leather experts “specialize in salvaging, restoring, and breathing new life into well-used Filson luggage and bags. They darn, whipstitch, patch, and reinforce worn fabric or replace leather – whatever is required to forge new from old.” While the brand is no stranger to leatherwork, this ultra-limited collection takes the craft to a whole new level. By hand-tooling the leather with intricate patterns in the Sheridan style of leatherwork, each bag features a beautiful character and patina.

Spice Up Your Swing with Bill Murray’s New Golf Apparel Line

It’s a messed up world we live in, folks. We’re beset on every side by forces that seem to be spinning out of our control. Climate change. Pandemics. Toilet paper shortages. But just when you think there is no hope left, there is Bill Murray.

Over the years, the screwball comic spawned by 1970s improv theater rose to standby character actor, then Hollywood legend, and now to … can we say “modern saint”? His habit of showing up randomly around the country, with the sole apparent purpose of brightening someone’s day with a story no one will ever believe, gives the rest of us a reason to believe in a better tomorrow. And also a reason to keep watching Bill Murray movies.
