A.P.C.
Cult Parisian brand A.P.C. (Atelier de Production et de Création) launched in 1987. Since then, founder Jean Touitou has kept up his mission to create simple, well-cut clothes in top-notch materials. Selvedge connoisseurs swear by A.P.C. jeans-especially the New Standard, a mid-rise essential-but Japanese raw denim is just one thing the label gets right. Other areas of expertise include backpacks, desert boots, and low-key luxurious sweaters.
AG
Superior fits and washes are paramount for AG creative director Sam Ku, whose father established the Los Angeles-based premium denim line in 2000 alongside 'The Godfather of Denim,' Adriano Goldschmied. With Ku at the helm, the label has expanded its offerings to incorporate soft-spun men's tees, sweatshirts, and other laid-back basics-all of which beg to be worn with signature AG jeans.
BANG & OLUFSEN
Danish electronics company Bang & Olufsen has supplied sleek, superior-quality audio products since 1925. Our essential edit features the brand's most popular and up-to-date offerings, including the wireless Bang & Olufsen headphones-built with travel-prime noise-cancelling capability-and portable Bluetooth speakers.
Banks Journal
After spending their childhoods near the coast in Japan and Australia, the four founders of Banks Journal clothing turned a shared love for life at the beach into a defining pillar of the brand. Their global perspective-and love for everything sand & sea-informs the label's approach to designing casual, cool pieces using eco-minded manufacturing practices. A go-to for surfers and urbanites alike, Banks Journal's core collection is made up of lightweight linen shirts, cotton tees, and fan-favorite boardshorts.
CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR
Comfortable, minimal, iconic-just a few words to describe Calvin Klein Underwear. Launched in 1982, the line is famous for ad campaigns that combine star power and provocative imagery to make functional items ultra-desirable. More notable than that, though, is the CK Underwear commitment to superior-quality goods, from socks, crewneck tees and men's undershirts to stretch-cotton boxers, trunks, and briefs.
CANADA GOOSE
Made in the Great White North since 1957, Canada Goose coats and jackets represent the best in cold-weather protection. From the essential Chateau parka to the style-forward Faber bomber, expect the perfect blend of luxury and craftsmanship in the Toronto brand's lineup of long-lasting, instantly recognizable, ready-for-anything goods.
DE BONNE FACTURE
Paris-based De Bonne Facture clothing was launched in 2013 by designer Déborah Neuberg. Named after a French expression meaning 'of good quality,' the brand delivers elegant, understated men's essentials-from winter coats and sweaters to summer-weight shirts and trousers-made of carefully sourced natural fabrics. What's more, each piece comes with a hangtag showing the name, location, and history of the atelier that produced it.
FAHERTY
Coastal-inspired clothing you can also wear inland-that's the ethos behind New York label Faherty. Launched in 2013 by twin brothers Mike and Alex Faherty, the brand celebrates beach culture through pieces that are at once laid-back and style-forward. Versatile standouts include printed button-ups, baja hoodies, and-of course-expertly-crafted swim trunks.
GITMAN VINTAGE
Established in 1978, Gitman Vintage specializes in well-crafted button-downs with strong heritage appeal. Known for regularly tapping into their own archives for inspiration, the Pennsylvania-based brand is one of the few remaining shirt suppliers that manufactures their garments exclusively in the US. In our edit of signature Gitman Vintage shirts, expect impeccable construction and an eclectic mix of quality fabrics-from plaid flannel to solid-color selvedge twill.
