Westcomb Outdoor Jackets With Urban Intentions

By

Fall is here and winter is creeping around the corner. The time for winter commutes to the subway that feel like crossing the tundra are almost here. Thankfully, Westcomb, the outdoor brand synonymous with mountaineers, has just the thing to keep you comfortable and looking sharp. This Fall Westcomb debuted its Soho Jacket and Pemberton Parka. Both are made from Schoeller® c-changeTM fabric, which essentially adapts to your body temperature. The fabric constantly opens and closes during temperature shifts (aka it actually breathes). Both jackets have this material throughout for optimal comfort whether you’ret trying to keep warm walking or trying not to overheat on the subway.

The Soho Jacket comes in a pavement gray with no hood. It’s made of Schoeller® c-changeTM face wool and has a relaxed fit. It’s definitely your jacket for the daily winter commute. The Pemberton Parka comes in black and fits from your head down to your knees. It’s made of premium Canadian Hutterite Down without the marshmallow man look. It’s the Don Draper of down coats. You’ll want to break this beast out for this winter’s blizzards or that nor’easter.

Soho Jacket, $500

Pemberton Parka, $600

Stone Island, New Balance bring a vintage look to new sneakers
New Balance, Stone Island release new sneaker

Continuing their collaboration, Stone Island and New Balance again reclaim a classic silhouette. A modern reimagining of a traditional sneaker, the new collaborative sneaker includes all of the brand's performance details. Donning a vintage iteration, the new sneaker is about meshing the two brands' vision for innovation. Using Stone Island’s signature Raso Gommato fabric as inspiration, the design is a classic mix of two iconic brands. The Raso Gammato, inspired by military fabric, has been a part of the Italian brand’s heritage since the 80s. This iconic fabric returns to another classic staple, the New Balance 998. Although this long-term partnership has seen various designs, this release marks the first time the duo has created a Made in USA sneaker, making this an even more special drop. 
New Balance x Stone Island 998 Made in USA “Raso Gommato”

Taking on the historic 998 model, New Balance and Stone Island have reimagined one of the athletic brand’s most recognizable silhouettes. First introduced in 1993, the New Balance 998 became the first sneaker to incorporate the brand’s ABZORB cushioning, a centerpiece to New Balance’s mission for comfort and performance. In this new sneaker, the duo uses Stone Island’s Raso Gommato, a polyurethane-coated canvas material, for the shoe’s upper. Nubuck overlays and reflective details add texture and dimension to the design’s body. Also included are the classic “N” logo, heel tab, and upper accents. The sneaker will come in a mauve, deep plum, and copper maroon colorway for the drop. To mark the special release, co-branding details can be found throughout the design with the words “new balance 998” and “stone island product research.” Although pricing has not yet been revealed, the sneaker is set to drop on March 27 via Stone Island’s website and select retailers. However, access is limited to those with a valid MyStoneIsland account.

Chronoswiss Pulse One: A modern take in two gorgeous colors
Chronoswiss dips its toes into the sports style
Chronoswiss Pulse One

Since its beginnings in the early 1980s, Chronoswiss has been known for its regulator display — and that holds true for its most recent release, the Chronoswiss Pulse One. Featuring a 41 mm titanium casing, the Pulse One is a full titanium regulator that was rolled out in two different colors—beige and blue. Both draw inspiration from different earth elements.

While watches from the previous generations had a strap, the new Chronoswiss timepieces are equipped with a titanium bracelet. But, the brand also preserved the signature design, so this new watch still retains the coin-like bezel.

Breitling makes bold move by acquiring Gallet ahead of 200th anniversary
Breitling makes a major acquisition
Watch on brown background

Breitling, the well-known Swiss firm that makes timepieces, has announced that it bought Gallet, a watch company with a long-established history. The firm plans to relaunch Gallet at an important time, when Gallet has its 200th birthday in 2026.

This action by Breitling is the second purchase of a large firm after it bought Universal Genève in 2023. This helps to show how much impact Breitling now has in the luxury watch market. The statement attested that Gallet would be a brand that is under Breitling’s umbrella but not as costly as other luxury brands, allowing an entry-level point for customers.
