Beyond the travel packs, the collaboration brings specially woven summerweight English wool for shorts, Japanese oxford and chambray cotton and linen shirts and duo tone lightweight dry wax Longline Parkas. (via Selectism)

The weather’s warming up and the pools are open, folks. You might want to hop into some new swimwear to start the season right. Reyn Spooner has a few new shorts up for grabs, each appealing to a different style. There’s a 5″ vintage surf length short that’s reminiscent of 50′s, a 7″ classic trunk that hits right above the knee and a 10.5″ board short that’s more in line with the current Hawaii surf culture. Look for these in both solids and a wide variety of prints.

Amsterdam’s Tenue de Nîmes has announced the first chapter of a hand-crafted private label. The philosophy behind their private label is simple:

Each Tenue de Nîmes garment will be built in limited, exclusive quantities, under decent, proper circumstances from the best available materials that our supplies can get their hands on.

And from this comes an essential men’s shirt in basic navy, black and white. They were made by a Polish family that has been making shirts for almost 40 years. They’re able to monitor the entire process from raw fabric to final product and their attention to detail shines through. These shirts are delivered in a classic silhouette with a fit that’s as timeless as the design. We can’t wait to see what else they have in store.

Whether you ride a Harley or the train to get to where you need to be, this jacket is a fly option.

Artist/activist Ai Weiwei is on the cover on the June issue of Daze & Confused Magazine. Inside is his last interview before he was detained by the Chinese government. The world is bigger than fly gear so you should definitely swing by your local newsstand and grab a copy.

If you are unfamiliar with Rapha the premise is simple: if James Bond rode a bike he would wear Rapha. They make wonderfully tailored gear for the cycling crowd making, “I bike to work” not an excuse for sloppy attire. The tradition continues with the Tailored Jacket for Spring 2011. In addition to looking sharp, it features details specific to the biking crowd: pleats in the rear shoulders, fastening storm-collar, and a zippered key pocket on the left arm to name a few. This marriage between form and function puts Rapha’s gear in a league of its own.

Minnesota-based J.W. Hulme Co. is dropping a few new styles for the Fall, three of which comprise the ‘Washburn’ collection. The Angler Bag, Airport Bag and Day Tote are all made out of green waxed canvas and feature brown leather trim and brass hardware. The Angler Bag is a messenger-style bag that delivers just the right amount of space for your daily companions such as a laptop and work docs, while the Airport Bag is a sturdy carry-on that’s spacious and masculine. The Washburn Day Tote is a great buy as it’s extremely generous in space and is made to help you get through the busiest of days. We’re looking forward to seeing what else they cook up for us as they’ve been consistently dropping some fine product.

This natural indigo dyed chambray denim shirt comes Japanese label Factotum. We don’t see much of their product in the states but we’re not surprised Blue in Green is the spot carrying them. After all, they’re known for carrying hard-to-find brands on the regular. They don’t slack on quality either, just look at this denim shirt. It’s really well made and features left chest pocket and an inner concealed pocket on the right.
