The idea is pretty simple – buy a shirt that looks good AND does good. Specifically, one that fights to protect earth’s ecosystems and resources. Sierra Club and Parks Project have teamed up to launch a tee and tank with a design that highlights an important mission: Explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the earth.

With a current political climate that does not always align with popular beliefs about our environmental climate, funding for important regulatory agencies is being cut in ways never seen before. As a result, organizations like the Sierra Club — who protect America’s wild lands and wildlife, keep our air and water free from pollution, and promote a clean-energy future — are filling the void on the front lines to protect our natural resources.

Founded by John Muir in 1892, the Sierra Club is not only the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization, but also receives a high rating from Charity Watch. The Sierra Club receives an A rating, which means a high percentage of expenses — 87% — go towards program expenses rather than overhead costs. The other half of the partnership, the Parks Project, partners with park conservancies to create unique articles of clothing that draw attention to specific parks and bring funding to projects in those areas. At this point, they have partnered with almost 30 park conservancies to help keep our parks healthy.

If you are interested in supporting the Sierra Club and want a vintage-style top that promotes your ideals, check out the Parks Project online shop. On May 16, they launch a racerback tank for women for $34 and a short sleeve tee for men for $36. Both are made from organic cotton. While you’re there, check out some other clothing items with park related designs. That way you can do your part to do good AND look good.

Apple doesn’t sell the Hermes Apple Watch leather band anymore – and we think we know why
Leather is not exactly "sustainable"
apple watch hermes leather band

 

In the realm of luxury, Hermes is a distinguished name known for (amongst other things) its collaboration with Apple in creating exquisite Apple Watch bands. In recent days, Hermes appeared to remove all leather Apple Watch 8 bands from its site, sparking intrigue and raising questions about the underlying reasons; many even wondered if Hermes and Apple were ending their partnership. All Apple Watch Series 9 bands are listed on the Hermes website – including leather bands. Still, Apple isn't selling the leather bands on its website, and there's an excellent reason why.

Porsche, TAG Heuer team up for Carrera Chronograph honoring the 911, a timeless classic
A gorgeous timepiece in honor of a true classic
TAG Heuer Porsche watches on wheel

There are fewer sports cars as iconic and persistent as the Porsche 911. Performance has improved, and some features like natural aspiration and air cooling have gone the way of the dinosaurs -- but at its core (and in its styling), the 911 is pretty much the same rear engine beauty that Porsche unveiled back in September 1963. It is currently celebrating its 60th anniversary, as is a much-loved piece of chronography -- the TAG Heuer Carrera.

So it’s only fitting that TAG Heuer, an equally iconic Swiss watchmaker with strong racing links, has partnered up with Porsche to commemorate the German company’s flagship motor. The “Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche” is a beautiful chronograph and a fantastic bit of engineering. Its styling manages to cram in more references to the 911’s 60-year history than we can count without looking garish or overstated.

Panerai's 2023 Navy Seals watches

If you’re a fan of diving and American special forces units, then it’s time to celebrate. Panerai has released its latest range of Navy SEALs dive watches, and they look good. Four new timepieces are available, though that availability is limited with three of the watches and extremely scarce with the fourth. The whole thing is part of a collaboration that started in 2022 and adds to the already wide range of luxury Panerai watches.

The most limited new watch in Panerai’s Navy SEALs comes bundled with a chance to be miserable on a beach. If you’re one of the 50 people who will ultimately spend $53,200 on the 47mm Submersible Chrono PAM01402, you’ll get more than just the watch. The luxury timepiece comes with a matching travel pouch, an NFT, a collection of “artwork,” and the chance to experience “Navy SEALs Training.”
