Spring isn’t the only thing kicking into high gear. Our Just Landed page is popping off—it’s a real-time roundup of the latest gear crafted by our in-house designers or curated by our quality-obsessed team. Featuring fresh finds from the best makers from around the world, it’s the place to get first dibs on the brands, products, and collabs that can only be bought here. Right now is a good time to bookmark it, too, with shorts, T-shirts, polos, and denim filling the page—everything you'll need to kick off the new season.
In the early 1940s, a civilian horticulturist who edited Better Homes and Gardens invented duck camo (then called “frogskin”) at the request of General Douglas MacArthur for use in the Pacific Theater, making it the first mass-produced camouflage for American forces. When duck camo was decommissioned after WWII, it became popular surplus and has since been adopted by brands all over for civilian goods. We’re loving Vans’ new run of its signature sneaker, the Authentic—a canvas-crafted silhouette with a sticky rubber sole—in two colorways of duck camo.
Pennsylvania-born brand Gitman Vintage is one of the last-standing American shirting icons, with production still happening here in the US. Originally woven in India and based on Madras shirt patterns from the brand’s archives, this style is designed to handle extreme heat with a loose, breathable construction that becomes essential as temps climb. The breathability is no joke, either—they grew popular in the West during summer months thanks to their lightweight cotton weave and later became a staple of 1950s prep fashion.
Designed in the 1930s for pilots by Louis Cottier, the father of global-timekeeping and a trajectory-setting designer for Rolex and Patek Philippe, the Worldtimer was meant to track multiple time zones simultaneously—unlike earlier watches, like the 1904 Cartier Santos, which focused on quick-glance legibility. The first Worldtimer we’ve ever stocked, this iteration by the Swiss watchmakers at Alpina, the Pilot Quartz Worldtimer, comes with all the hallmarks of the original design: a 24-hour disc and city ring that lets you read global times at a glance, paired with a highly accurate Swiss quartz movement within. We’re big fans of this one for the sense of purpose it adds to our everyday carry—equal parts tool and statement piece.
Ryan Hitzel was inspired to start Roark after a road trip from Mexico to San Francisco, on which he met more than a few bar-brawling adventurers. Built for those ready to move, the Bommer Run Shortis a do-it-all piece that holds its own no matter how hot, humid, or wild things get. Its lightweight stretch fabric wicks sweat, and the breathable liner makes the 3.5” inseam even more agile. Fit for the road or long runs, they’re technical shorts that know how to perform.
Produced in Nara, Japan, a region with a storied history of sock manufacturing, RoToTo does knits like no one else. Still made the old-fashioned way, the brand uses vintage machines that prioritize feel over speed and finishes the socks with hand-stitched top lines. The slow process yields a soft, slightly chunky texture that feels broken-in from day one. As we start rotating in spring footwear instead of boots, we’ll be showing off our socks, too. These add a little something without going overboard.
When warmer weather hits, the layers of your look start to peel away. Enter embroidered shirts. While flat prints and plainer patterns work, we like to take it a step further with stitched details, which add subtle texture to resort-ready styles. These open camp collars come in lighter fabrics like breathable linen or cotton poplin, keeping things easygoing while embroidery stands out without screaming for attention. We’re well-stocked with go-to picks from Service Works, Billy Reid, Marine Layer, and more.
RRL takes an obsessive approach to its reproductions of vintage American workwear. This 1940s-referencing Denim Chore Coatis made from indigo-dyed, 11 oz. Japanese denim with era-appropriate details like a fine-wale corduroy collar, a drop shoulder, and brassy metal buttons. It’s an ideal in-between layer based on a bygone style built to last another hundred years.
