Rogue Territory just released part two of their Spring/Summer 2013 collection and dropped a lookbook showcasing the new product for good measures. Known for their well-fitting, functional menswear, the latest items are everything we’ve come to expect from Los Angeles brand. They have some light weight military and classic work wear inspired pieces that are perfect for this coming season. We are in love with the Canyon wash, inspired by 2+ years of raw denim wear and wash, which can only be described as “buttery.” The Rough wash is great for those who don’t want to wear raw denim in the summer as it’s dark with light contrasts and soft to the touch. They also have short sleeve shirts, shorts, and light weight officer trousers which will definitely be on our regular rotation for warmer days.
Rogue Territory’s S/S 2013 collection can be had through select retailers as well as Rogue Territory online.

From San Francisco-based watch brand, Xetum, comes the new automotive-themed Kendrick. Xetum, led by founder Jeff Kuo, delivers timepieces that are purposely modern in design and feature automatic mechanical Swiss movements. Though the first two watches in the Xetum lineup have more of an aviation influence, the Xetum team looked to automotive instruments to guide the design of the Kendrick. The design features bold red and blue color schemes that grab your attention and are perfect for the summer months ahead, though we see this to be a great all-season watch. The Kendrick comes on a NATO or black rubber strap, both of which pair up quite nicely with the automotive theme. For the NATO straps, we’ve chosen colors that complement those of the dial, and the black rubber strap offers a sleek look to pair with the clean dial design as well as a butterfly clasp closure.
Like all Xetum watches before it, the Kendrick is designed in California and made in Switzerland. Available in three colorways — white with black, black with blue, black with white — it’s available now through Xetum for $995.
