Lee X Buck Mason Sand Rambler Suede 91-B Jacket - $898

Buck Mason dropped their latest collaboration with Lee this past morning, and while the Los Angeles-made 101J denim jacket is incredible, the real showstopper is this steerhide 91-B. The silhouette on this jacket is as flattering as it gets while still being naturally quite comfortable and utilitarian. It's one of those increasingly rare things nowadays that you’ll actually want to hold onto as it ages.

Vans OTW Old Skool 36 Vibram - $125

The OTW offshoot of Vans seems to have more bandwidth for experimentation, and these Vibram-soled Style 36s (the original Old Skool, and slightly different than the one they sell now) have full-grain leather and duck canvas uppers and advanced cushioning for old heads like me whose knees don’t bend like they used to.

BoardroomSocks Merino Wool OTC Ribbed Dress Socks - $17

I bought these right before my trip to London last year and wore the red and light blue ones the whole time. So far, they’ve held up as well as much more expensive English and Italian-made luxury socks as long as they’re washed cold and hang-dried.
