Activist Eyewear
Posted in: Uncategorized Split-arm sunglasses with impeccable details for a classic look with a sporty fit
For Activist Eyewear their name is more than just a name. A fundamental principal in their design process, the brand rejects the process of large-scale industrial production, instead priding themselves in creating limited-edition series of sunglasses in small batches. Founder and creative director Mark Craig cut his teeth working on shades for big brands like Michael Kors and Nike, but his passion coalesced as Activist, with a goal of producing glasses that marry high functionality with style.
Crafted in Japan, the glasses are first designed in Brooklyn, where Activist is based. As a nod to their local area code, Activist produces only 718 pairs of sunglasses in each colorway, which also guarantees you get a pretty unique set of frames. Currently there are three models available, but every pair features their signature Split Fit arm, which evens out the pressure usually situated at the temple. This not only ups the comfort level, but also gives them a more secure fit. Starting with the basics, Activist’s styles are based on the classics: Wayfarer, Aviator and Lennons.
In addition to their progressive fit, Activist kits out their specs with top quality lenses featuring an “ultra-high performance” Oleophobic Seal that’s impervious to water and grime. Combined with the split arms and hingeless frames, the shades are the perfect pair to don during a game of beach volleyball or a run around the park. A customized nosepad for each model, waxed canvas cases and cleaning cloths that double as pocket squares round out the keen attention to detail.
Activist sunglasses sell online and at stockists around the world for $450 a pair.

Levi’s Commuter Series
Posted in: UncategorizedWe take a ride with Levi’s debut line for pedal-pushers
With everyone from big brands like Nike to upstarts like Outlier stepping into clothe the growing legions of bike commuters, Levi’s recent sneak peek of their debut line designed for cycling seemed like a no-brainer direction for the label. Drawing on their workwear heritage, the new series incorporates cutting-edge technical functionality, puts “craftsmanship, quality and durability” at the forefront of outfitting today’s worker, and integrates feedback from urban cyclists who already wear Levi’s—all of which made us eager to check out the duds first-hand.
Office-wide, the Trucker Jacket ($128), based on a 1967 design, elicited the most oohs-and-ahs for its long cut with a slight drop tail that, despite pockets (including one for an iPod) and flaps, manages to look streamlined on both men and women. Front pockets are angled for easy access, extra fabric in the underarm adds mobility, and a lip on the cuff partially covers hands while riding.
Like all the pieces in the line, the jacket features antimicrobial odor-protection and reflective accents for visibility. Another key detail across the collection is what’s been dubbed Nanosphere Technology, an application developed in partnership with Swiss fabric brand Schoeller Technologies that makes materials resist water and dirt, as well as offer more protection and longer lifespans.
For bottoms, Levi’s built a loop into the waistband of the 511 Skinny Commuter pants (available in elasticized denim or khaki, $78 each) for toting u-locks without cumbersome racks or shoving them down your pants. Roll up the cuff, and reflective tape on the inner seam provides increased safety at night, while a reinforced crotch saves you from regular trips to the tailor.
Look out for these and few other pant lengths in Levi’s and Urban Outfitters retail locations this summer.

1938 World Champion British Baseball Team Jersey
Posted in: Uncategorized A surprising moment in sports history memorialized in a gorgeously-detailed reproduction
Conceived together by Curated’s Nick Schonberger and Ian Paley of Garbstore, the 1938 World Champion British Baseball Team jersey commemorates an historic yet forgotten series between England and the U.S. Dubbed the first official baseball World Cup by the International Baseball Federation, the five-game series saw England take their opponent in a four-to-one victory, including two shut outs—one of which took place in front of 10,000 spectators at Liverpool’s Wavertree Stadium.
The jerseys are produced with exacting detail by Ebetts Field Flannels, and feature the British Union flag rather than the English cross of St. George, because—as author of “What About Villa? Forgotten Figures from Britain’s Pro Baseball League of 1890,” Joe Gray, explains—since “England subsequently came to compete as part of Great Britain, the record books show Great Britain as the first world champions.”
The baseball jersey is also the upshot of two passions—Schonberger an American history buff and Paley an enthusiast of mid-century American sports. The 1938 World Champion British Baseball Team jersey will be available later this month from Barneys New York and the Garbstore for £235.

Nine Pairs of Long Underwear for Men
Posted in: Uncategorized A buying guide to men’s base layer bottoms
The Union Suit
More traditional types might try The Vermont Country Store’s 100% cotton, red union suit ($35) that might add a little bulk, but looks good layered under a button-down for any mountain man or urbanite. Putting their brand spin on the classic wintertime base layer (or pajamas, for many), Burton calls their Midweight Union Suit a “classic Dutch oven” that will keep you warm on the slopes and off. The Dryride Ultrawick fabric keeps moisture to a minimum while you stay mobile. ($60)
Three-Quarter Long Underwear
A technical layering item, Icebreaker Bodyfit / 260 short leggings are made of natural and sustainable wool for high-level breathability and odor control, demonstrating their record of 196 days of constant wear in extreme conditions holds up. ($75) German label Schiesser offers a multitude of base layer options, but we like their 3/4 Thermo Trousers for their quick-drying, microclimate fabric. Also low on odor, Schiesser pants will keep you warm without making you sweat and are machine washable for constant wear. (€36)
Natural Fiber Long Underwear
Made of moisture-wicking silk fabric, REI‘s classic long underwear bottoms are known for being lightweight and thin yet super warm. Soft to the touch and machine washable, they’re perfect for everyday wear. ($33) Like wearing another layer of fat that you can thankfully take off, SmartWool’s Microweight Long Underwear is next-to-skin comfortable and ultra warm thanks to its fine merino fabric. Chafe-free seams, anti-itch wool and a guarantee they won’t shrink with constant washing are all reasons they top our list this winter. ($65)
Synthetic Long Underwear
An even sportier offering from Nike, their Pro-Core Compression Speed Hyperwarm Tights feature mesh panels through the inner thigh and butt, keeping you warm and dry through carefully-placed ventilation and dri-fit polyester. A perfect fit that minimizes chafing and the dreaded “swamp ass,” these were as great on the soccer field as they were sitting at our desk all day. ($55) The Patagonia Capilene 1 Silkweight Bottoms ($45) are made using recycled bottles. While these are excellent, Patagonia’s lightweight merino bottoms are a more versatile choice and favorite of CH editor Tim Yu, designed for a wide range of activities. ($89) Uniqlo’s Heat-Tech long underwear claims to be a high-tech fabric that actually creates heat. We can’t vouch for that, but the acrylic, polyester, and rayon blend sure does keep you warm. Best part is they’re super thin, so they fit perfectly under your tightest jeans. ($15)

Gilbert Lewis
Posted in: Uncategorized 
Veteran designer Jose Abellar recently left his post at Gap to put his own spin on classic American style, creating Gilbert & Lewis, where high fashion meets functional plaids. An expression of Abellar’s favorite fashion components, Gilbert & Lewis is an evolved view of sportswear boasting bold colors, great patterns and slim fits.
The inaugural Spring/Summer collection (above) features a fresh color scheme inspired by the vibrantly colored lifeguard stands on Miami’s South Beach. A matching tie compliments each of the button downs, adding to the label’s slightly nerdy aesthetic while offering a “confidently off-center” base for the label’s tailored suits.
Artist Carlos Aponte, who designed the cover of the look book, served as both inspiration and an illustrator for the forthcoming Autumn/Winter collection (at top and below). A hybrid of “English professor and the great outdoorsman,” the fall collection teems with velvety corduroys, tweed blazers and chunky sweaters all deconstructed or pre-washed for a cozy, lived-in feel.
Named after Abellar’s and his longtime partner and collaborator David Ayala’s alter egos, Gilbert & Lewis is a decidedly modern approach with a genuine vintage twist, referencing great cinematic characters like those found in John Hughes movies.
The line sells from stores around the world such as Unionmade, Bird, United Arrows, and soon online.

Pedaler Clothing Spring 2010 Collection
Posted in: Uncategorized 
Targeting the growing market of bicycle commuters, Pedaler Clothing incorporates technical elements into clothing and accessories that could pass as a standalone streetwear line. Both tops and bottoms have ergonomic cuts made for the cycling movements, use sustainable bamboo wherever possible, and feature subtle reflective flourishes for added safety.
Hoodies and t-shirts benefit from extended sleeves and torsos, with jersey pockets on the rear. The Anorak Jacket windbreaker uses water-resistant microsuede and a slim silhouette with a hideaway hood. And the American-made fitted shorts are a stretch denim and twill, sewn with a seamless crotch.
Constructed of English waxed tartan, the Pony Express handmade messenger bag (below) incorporates hearty leather accents and hardware to balance timeless fashion with urban cycling functionality.
The Pedaler Clothing line has price points between $65 and $165 and sells from select retailers and an online store. See more images from the look book after the jump.
