Epperson Mountaineering's products are tried and true. You know you're getting a well-made, good looking bag and the Climb Tote is one of their most popular. As always, its available in a number of colour options, but I especially like the navy blue nylon accented by the patterned tan straps.

—01. Made in USA.

Typical of Post Overalls, the Post R Shirt comes in a beautiful cotton broadcloth. The lightweight shirt is given a nice texture by the pattern of various blue tones and subtle orange stripes; something different from a typical spring plaid or gingham.

Another great looking piece of outerwear from the unattainable Japanese brand. This 65/35 lightweight parka features two-tone colour blocking that is as subtle as it is tasteful, adding the right amount of detail to an easy to wear spring jacket.

—01. Made in USA?

Words

A preview of the latest Wtaps collaboration with Vans from the pages of Grind magazine. The colours, materials, and models all appear to be well-chosen, but the most exciting thing about this release is that the shoes are rumoured to be made in the US. If that's true, and all of the old details are in place, it's a huge development that will make a lot of people very happy indeed.
