Kids Of Immigrants Script Beanie
Lasting brands tell good stories. Kids of Immigrants is one of those brands, creating stylish items that speak to the experiences of immigrants and their families. This black, made-in-Los Angeles waffle beanie goes with everything and works for the cool winter weather.
Rains Fishtail Jacket
Fishtail parkas date back to the 1950s when the US Army designed them for cold weather use, but they found their spot in fashion history when 1960s English Mods adopted them for whipping around London on their scooters. This Rains Fishtail Jacket brings the style into the 21st century with its minimalist design, draped fit, and taped seams.
Afield Out Black Langley Utility Vest
Afield Out designs outdoor gear with an urbane twist. This utility vest is water-resistant nylon and provides a pocket for phones, keys, and anything else the wearer may want to tote along. Good for post-holiday layering or year-round adventuring.

This hockey jersey is part baja, part sportswear. In a unique, understated woven design, it’s a fresh take on an athletic item that has a long history in hip-hop and streetwear.
Bristol Studio Triple Hem Shorts
A lightweight basketball short featuring a built-in layering effect, this Bristol Studios piece can be dressed up with a button-up shirt and white socks, or rocked on the court alongside a favorite T-shirt.
Kody Phillips Cargo Shirt Overdye Black
An 8oz brushed cotton twill construction and flap pockets firmly place this sturdy Kody Phillips piece in shirt-jac territory, which means it’s a versatile gift that can be layered over a sweater, hoodie, or T-shirt. A sophisticated black colorway helps polish its outdoorsy aspects, allowing the piece to go from day to night and making it a functional and fashionable gift.
Pleasures Heart Thermal Long Sleeve
Waffle thermals are wardrobe staples. They work great alone or layered under a hoodie or flannel.

Made in collaboration with longstanding skate company Shorty's, it has an all-over heart logo print that will wear-in well.

Japanese label Needles has been putting its own perspective on military and vintage-inspired items for a minute. The label came together with New York’s Hidden on a recent collaboration that includes sweats, T-shirts, and more, alongside these drawstring pants. In a lightweight cotton boasting a drawstring waist, contrasting nylon ripstop patch pockets, and darting on the lower legs, these will wear hard and look right with a diverse range of items.
