French label A.P.C. has an amazing S/S ’11 collection and we’re not talking just denim. Their Retro Jacket happens to be one of my personal favorites as it’s lightweight, cut slim and has some great details. The style’s reminiscent of a classic denim jacket without the heavy denim, with a strong Oxford cloth taking its place instead.

Scott Sternberg and company at Band of Outsiders are at it again with another solid collaboration with the folks at Sperry Top-Sider.

From rag & bone comes their Gelding jacket, a super lightweight blazer made from 100% and perfect for the warmer summer months ahead. It’s unstructured which adds more versatility to the piece.
