Bradley Cooper rocks a Wax London Overshirt in NYC

An icon wearing an icon

Bradley Cooper worked his way into our hearts in the early 2000s alongside Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and others in The Hangover. He then spent the next two decades dropping Oscar performance after Oscar performance until he landed the role of Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That means we pay attention to him. Now, he is one of the guys we ordinary folk follow to stay up on the trends. While he has been the centerpiece of a lot of hair content from all the men’s style writers (guilty as charged, Your Honor), he has also taught many of us the subtle art of the leather jacket and, recently, the even subtler art of casual streetwear. We are paying attention again as he steps out in New York City wearing this gorgeous overshirt from Wax London.

Wax London struck gold when they launched The Whiting. As overshirts go, it is one of the best you will find. When the weather calls for it, it is light enough to be a shirt or a layering piece. It is also heavy enough to act as a jacket when you need something light to throw over a basic outfit. Speaking of that, that is exactly the best way to wear this specific colorway of the icon for the brand. The orange check is bright and attractive, a statement piece that needs no help to look fantastic. For you, if you want to catch the eye of the paparazzi the same way Cooper did in NYC, keep the rest of the outfit soft and straightforward, jeans and tee to let this overshirt speak for you. We’ve heard a thousand words from Cooper already.

Scottish brand, Kestin, brings back hit for 2024’s outerwear
The return of fan-favorite Cuillin Down Jacket

Kestin is a Scottish brand founded in 2015 by Kestin Hare after two decades in the industry. Focused on channeling the heritage of Scotland into his clothing, the company embodies what it means to be Scottish. Last year, the team released an outerwear collection tough enough for the Scottish Highlands. The standout was the Cuillin Down Jacket, which Kestin brought back this year for the new 2024 outerwear collection. The campaign enlists the help of Hamish Frost and Tim Exley, two expert mountaineers and rock climbers, to make an ascent of Fiacaill Ridge and Coire an t-Sneachda in the heart of the Cairngorms. If you need a jacket that can work just as well in the city as it does in the Scottish winds and rain, this is the jacket for you.
The return of a hit

The Cuillin Down Jacket of this year improves on last year's model, constructed from an onion-quilted 100% recycled nylon ripstop treated with a PFC-free, durable water repellent finish. It has 600-fill-power RDS (responsible down standard) insulation of 90% down and 10% feather. The details do the heavy lifting with this vest, featuring drawcords through the hood and hem, elasticated-bound cuffs, and subtle zippered hand warmer pockets lined with an anti-pill fleece. Don't forget the two-way front body zipper and embroidered KESTIN logo at the cuff.

We all love to get out into the great outdoors. Experiencing all that Mother Nature has to offer by escaping the stresses of work, family, or even the holidays. However, as the weather changes and temperatures drop, it gets harder and harder to make these little nature escapes happen. That is unless you have the right gear. Oakley released their Japan Field Gear line back in March, and now they are dropping more of the collection for the Fall 2024 season to help you get out of the office and into the world of the great outdoors.

“From the city streets to the muddy trails, the Field Gear Line balances function and design for a range of outdoor wear,” the brand said back during the spring release. “Japanese craftsmanship shines through in the collection, showcasing technical excellence, elevated trims, and performance-oriented fit.”

If you have ever wanted a great sweater to wear to virtually any occasion, an alpaca sweater has likely been on your radar. If it hasn't, you are missing out on one of the softest and most luxurious fabrics known to man. Paka is a company built on providing the world with the best alpaca sweaters on the market and doing so ethically. Founder Kris Cody began the company during the COVID era and has been building it ever since. Now, he and his team have released their most durable sweater so far, the Paka Mountain Crew.

He didn't exactly plan on being here. “There was no business plan; there was no foresight at all. A lot of it was formulated before we even started creating anything,” Cody told Shopify. “It was more of an exploration into this curiosity of, like, ‘What is this? Where is it from?’ How can we build this together in a way that’s done ethically and right?” With or without foresight, the company is here with the last sweater you will ever need.
