Products of the Week: Hunting Jackets, Mini Saucepans and Heavy-Duty Slippers
Each week, our inbox runneth over with news of gear, apparel and tech releases from around the world. In this feature, we’ll parse through the best of them. Today: a handsome Billy Reid x Huckberry hunting jacket, a mini version of Five Two’s famous saucepan and cozy quilted GREATS slippers.
Heaven’s Door The Bootleg Series II
Bob Dylan’s American whiskey brand releases a second limited-edition batch; this one features a cask strength 15 year-old Straight Bourbon finished in 30 year-old Jamaican Pot Still Rum Casks, and arrives in a handmade ceramic bottle featuring Bob Dylan’s painting, Sunset, Monument Valley. Plus, it’s all housed in an individually numbered leather journal.
GREATS Foster Slipper
Never ones to rest on their footwear laurels, GREATS just added this handsome slipper to their offering — a cozy quilted nylon upper (made from recycled fishing nets and carpet, yay earth!) with a cushy leather-wrapped footbed and a durable rubber outsole that makes them as good for running the quick errand as they are for chilling around the house.
Crossrope
The last several months have found us exploring pretty much every way one can workout at home, and of those, jumping rope is a favorite among IH staffers — quick, easy and burns a staggering number of calories. We’ve been particularly enamored of these durable braided steel ropes of varying weights that are easily interchangeable via a patented “fast clip” system for mixing up your workout, and the high-performance handles (see: ball bearings inside) that keep ’em spinning like a dream. Plus a bevy of free workouts via the Crossrope app that cater to everyone from the rope novice to the seasoned veteran.
Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch
Been in the market for a red-and-black bezel? Timex and Huckberry have a watch for you. With the new limited-edition “Cola” Sport Watch, the second time the brands are getting together, it’s a whole different story. Despite the shop saying it was “designed from a blank canvas,” the watch is more accurately a reworking of the Q Timex — a refreshed ‘70s watch we’ve been wearing for some time — but with some choice upgrades.
Everlane The Wool Five-Panel Cap
Crafted from durable, textured wool, Everlane’s Wool Five-Panel Cap is designed specifically for cold weather, so it’ll provide warmth on top of all that style. Plus, the heavier fabric and brushed metal hardware means you won’t have to worry about a gust of wind knocking it off your noggin. So go ahead and give the beanies a rest.
Drake x Nike “Certified Loverboy”
After dropping numerous hints on Instagram, Drake’s collaboration with Nike has finally arrived. The Certified Lover Boy merch precedes the rapper’s album of the same name, set to be released in January 2021. As the name would suggest, the collaboration includes “love” motifs throughout, from a white baseball cap featuring a lipstick-print to a pink quilted heart puffer jacket, arguably the standout piece of the collection. Whether you’re a fan of Drizzy or just love love, snag some merch and consider yourself a Certified Lover Boy.
Burrow Range Collection
Similar to the DTC brand’s award-winning Nomad collection, Burrow’s new sofa system — the Range Collection — is an entirely modular seating collection boasting contemporary, Scandinavian-influenced design and ultra-plush comfort. The new collection of sofas, sectionals, love seats and more allow you to easily attach tables and ottomans, so you can flexibly customize your space however you want.
Matheson Cookware Cast Iron Pan
Matty Matheson, the Canadian chef that’s built a career on his DIY mentality, has now expanded that ethos into his own line of cookware. It’s called, naturally, Matheson Cookware, and the first release is a 10-inch cast iron pan that keeps the timeless design intact, but adds a few choice upgrades: a longer handle and an extended lip for easier basting. The first limited run of 500 pans is sold out, but they’re taking preorders for 2021.
Billy Reid x Huckberry Hunting Jacket
Billy Reid has partnered with Huckberry to create this exclusive Hunting Jacket, the perfect piece of outerwear for fall. Heavily inspired by traditional hunting jackets (like the kind you might see a British royal wear while shooting game in the English countryside) the jacket is made from a waxed cotton from the Scottish fabric makers Halley Stevensons. The jacket is outfitted with a luxurious faux-fur lining and a contrasting fabric collar, allowing for both functionality and style.
