You’re going to love our favorite gear from Western Rise, seriously. Western Rise is the rare brand that blends functionality, technical fabrics and classic, easygoing style. In short, the Western Rise menswear line is everything you need to go from town to trail, and then back again. You know, the type of gear you won’t be afraid to wear to the bar — or out on a hike. From outerwear to tough pants, Western Rise has something for the explorer in all of us (even if the most exploring you do is limited to a stroll through your local park).

AirLoft Quilted Jacket – $230

The AirLoft Quilted Jacket has, quite simply, a ton going on for it. Made with four-way stretch insulation and what the brand calls “continuous fiber technology,” this handsome, rugged shirt jacket features room for your everyday carry (thanks to front chest pockets), plus room to layer over your favorite henley (get yours here). Wear it on a day hike, then keep it handy for brews and bites afterward.

AirLight Western Shirt in Washed Denim – $109

Most denim shirts can feel a little too hefty — that’s not the case with the light-as-can-be AirLight Western Shirt. Featuring a blend of polyester and texturized nylon — the brand’s AirLight cloth — this shirt combines the traditional styling and hard-wearing appeal of a classic denim shirt, with the functionality and performance you need to head to the hills.

AT Slim Rivet Pant in Sandstone – $129

If you’ve layered up with a shirt jacket and a denim shirt from Western Rise, what are you wearing on your bottom half? That’s easy: the Slim Rivet Pant. The brand searched day and night for the right type of cut and construction to turn these five-pocket pants into an “anywhere, any time” pair. At first glance, they’ve succeeded. Yhat’s due in part to the use of water-repellent, stretch nylon canvas in a tailored-yet-not-tight fit. These pants are our Associate Editor’s new favorite for travel, and we know they’ll be yours too.

DryWeight Merino Henley in Clay – $98

Start off your next adventure-ready outfit the right way — with a breathable, performance-minded henley that’s equal parts style and substance. The brand blended TENCEL fabric with wool for a henley you’ll want to wear day in and day out. The best part is that it looks just as sharp with a denim jacket and leather boots for a day of city exploration as it does with a winter parka for a cold-weather hike.

The pre-owned luxury watch market is down, but prices for these 2 Rolexes are up
Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi

According to the Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks the 50 most traded luxury watches, the pre-owned luxury watch market moved down around 0.1% last month, marking the sign of a patient market that wants more. This isn't necessarily surprising —the index has fallen 8.7% in the past year. But there are a couple of Rolex watches that are bucking the trend: the Rolex Starbucks and the Rolex Pepsi, which gained 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.

The overall stagnation of the watch market can have various factors, including anticipation for newer releases. External factors like economic and geopolitical conflicts have also affected the way consumers choose to purchase watches. Prices soared during the pandemic, so a leveling out at some point was expected.
What are the ‘Starbucks’ and ‘Pepsi’ watches from Rolex?
