Buck MasonG.H.Bass x Buck Mason Larson Weejuns Loafer
Buck Mason renews its collaboration with G.H.Bass by introducing its elevated take on the Larson loafer in brown. Built from Horween Chromexcel leather, the naturally textured upper borders on oxblood with rich burgundy hues. It has a leather insole, a full leather outsole attached with a Goodyear welt and a stacked leather heel with a full rubber grip. The upper is hand-stitched, including the Maine shoemaker’s signature “beefroll.”
PanasonicPanasonic Lumix L10
Panasonic’s Lumix L10 is a compact fixed-lens camera released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Lumix brand. It features the same 20.4-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor as in the company’s Lumix GH7. Plus, it packs a hybrid phase-detect autofocus system and comes with a fixed Leica DC Vario-Summilux 24-75mm (f/1.7-2.8) zoom lens. According to the brand, its “tactile controls and balanced design creates a seamless shooting experience, enabling photographers to capture moments freely, without distraction, particularly suited for street, travel and everyday photography.”
Hayworth AthleticHayworth Athletic Standard Model No. 152
Based in Austin, TX, Hayworth revives the lost art of hand-stitched soccer balls. The No. 152 features 1.5mm layers of polyurethane leather, sewn tight using high-tensile Italian waxed thread. The result is a soccer ball built to last through the years, rather than break down after a single season.
Native UnionNative Union Pop Cable
Gen Z might not find the design of this cable very familiar, but anyone who grew up before the 2000s and had a landline at home will immediately catch the Y2K vibe of this coiled charging cable. However, this is not a phone cable; it’s a USB-C charging cable compatible with the Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, iPhone 15 and any other bit of tech with that input/output. It also boasts high-speed charging up to 60W, offering up to 50 percent of an iPhone charge in just 30 minutes. And if you need a longer one, there’s a Pop Cable XL.
3Bird3Bird Alux Sun Hoodie
Apparel-based sun protection continues to be underrated, but this new drop from Jackson Hole, Wyoming-based 3Bird makes it easy, comfortable and stylish. This moisture-wicking, quick-drying 90% polyester/10% Spandex blend hoodie features a UPF 50+ rating, plus finger loops (for over-the-hand coverage) and a handy left-chest zippered pocket. Available in five sizes and three colors, it’s a streamlined, set-it-and-forget-it way to shield your skin this summer.
