In their own rights, eyewear maker Shwood and motorcycle lifestyle brand Iron & Resin are established names in the men’s fashion world. Now, the two brands have brought their best elements together in the form of the Shwood X Iron & resin The Moto Collection.

The two-piece capsule combines the Portland company’s quirky eyewear designs with the California cool style of its southern brethren. It all unfolds behind the inspiration of long motorcycles rides up the Pacific coastline.

It starts with the Kennedy riding glasses, which are magnetic clip-ons easily remove to adjust to surrounding light. They have a “raw,” unfinished aesthetic and are available in two colors: classic Black and Havana tan. The polarized lenses are CR-39 Carl Zeiss Vision models and feature 100% UVA/UVB sun protection. The glasses are “Slim-Line” designed to slide in and out of your helmet easily.

To protect your new shades (plus the other inevitable valuables you have on your person), they’ve also created the EDC Tank Bag. It’s a heavy duty, 100% cotton canvas with a pigmented PU water-resistant coating.

The bag has logical zipper and pocket systems to keep everything locked up and dry, while integrating easy attachment to plastic tanks or using a high-strength magnet mounting system. It’s meant to stand up to whatever the day’s ride throws at you. As the collaborators make clear, “The sleek and stylish tank bag is designed to fit virtually every motorcycle on the planet. The bag is the perfect size to carry everyday ride necessities like glasses, phone, wallet, cameras, tools, etc and sits securely and conveniently on the tank of your bike.” So you shouldn’t have any trouble on your first ride sporting this collection.

The new Swhood X Iron & Resin Moto Collection is a nice 1-2 punch for riders who need that solid balance of durability and style while on their bike.

Both pieces are on sale now here.

End. x YMC pay homage to British post-punk
New collection, "Best of British" launches
end x ymc jackets

As a society, we are primed for rebellion. From the time we are children, hoping to break away from the life our parents built for us to forge our own path, to being adults looking to fight injustice, rebellion is in our nature. And we rarely do it alone; we often look for a culture of like-minded visionaries to unite under the common goal of subverting the expectations of the generations before us. From the greasers in the 50s to the grunge of the 90s, rebellion often defined the 20th Century. One of the more influential rebellious movements was the British punk movement. While the music of the Sex Pistols was one of the drivers, one of the passengers in the movement was the rise of the style trends. END. x YMC "Best of British" collection takes us back to those days with a new line inspired by the clothes that sparked change.

“YMC has been a long-time partner of END.’s," says Callum Hill, Senior Collaborations Design Manager for END. "Aligning heavily with our values as a retailer. Since being founded in 1995, the brand has represented an integral part of cultural touchpoints in the UK — movements that have heavily inspired the creative vision of END. since day one. With our collaborative capsule, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the musical culture of the UK and the style identities born out of it.”

For Danner's heritage boot brand, creating the ideal quality hiking boot is an everyday task. However, in their latest drop, the Pacific Northwest-based company is joining forces with Madhappy for a redesign that adds a pop of color to your hiking gear. In this collaboration, both brands are taking on the signature Mountain Light boot and giving it a bit of Madhappy’s touch. For Madhappy, working with iconic footwear brands is nothing new, as they’ve recently increased their collaboration with other classic companies like Uggs. Although hiking shoes tend to come in manageable hues to manage the dirt and mud, this collaborative boot is a fun contrast to the often serious color combinations available. A colorful and airy collaboration, the remixed Mountain Light boot is a must for those who want to add something distinct to the trails. 
The new Mountain Light boot

Starting with suede uppers in either chestnut or bright pink, this boot comes equipped with a one-leather piece design in the tongue to keep water and dirt out.  This Mountain Light’s stitchdown construction also helps add stability and structure to the underfoot. Inside waterproof Gore-Tex liners help keep the feet warm and comfortable while Vibram Kletterlift outsoles add traction to the boot. Besides announcing the new vibrant hues and modern updates on the boot, Danner has also proudly reiterated that all Mountain Light boots are constructed in Portland, Oregon. The new Madhappy and Danner Mountain Light boot is now available via both Danner and Madhappy web stores and retails at $440. Both colorways are available in men’s and women’s sizing so that all can enjoy the punch of color in their hiking wardrobe.
