As we enter that stretch of spring that’s still rainy but getting warmer, we draw your attention to a waxed cotton track jacket from Sid Mashburn and a Garbstore x Private White V.C. rain mac that comes with its own umbrella. And for drier days, we’re pleased with a cowboy sateen “cowboy suit” cooked up by Mister Freedom, a gingham chore jacket from Drake’s and a very easy suit by Boglioli. There’s more where that came from below.

Tom Ford Velvet Polo Shirt
Image Credit: Mr Porter A velvet polo shirt sounds garish in the abstract, but in Tom Ford’s able hands it’s poetry. The secret? A surprisingly earthy color and a restrained collar that balances the ‘70s excess vibe.

Faherty Fun Boardshorts

Sid Mashburn Hooded Track Jacket

Phineas Cole Striped Linen Polo
Image Credit: Paul Stuart The horizontal stripe, contrast collar shirt—a longtime Phineas Cole staple—has been reinterpreted here as a luxe, long-sleeved polo made in Italy from crunchy linen. Wear it under a navy blazer with tropical wool trousers as you would a dress shirt, or team it to drawstring waist shorts and espadrilles.

Garbstore x Private White V.C. Mac & Umbrella
Image Credit: Garbstore Garbstore has struck upon a seemingly obvious yet revolutionary idea: why not sell a rain mac and an umbrella together? The larger half of this package deal is no ordinary mac, but a lightweight Ventile cotton piece made in collaboration with Private White V.C. And yes, it does have an umbrella pocket.

Stenströms Leisure Drawstring Cargo Pants
Image Credit: Stenströms Of course, Swedes were able to make the oft-maligned cargo sweatpant look good. Thanks to tasteful touches like a tapered leg, a clean waistband and slimmed-down pockets that benefit from room-enhancing pleats, they’ll cause no compunction in first-class.

L.E.J. The Shell Collector
Image Credit: L.E.J. Washed Japanese linen, a smock-like fit and a plethora of pockets would indeed make this L.E.J. jacket suited to the task of collecting seashells by the seashore. However, we can imagine it performing just as well through wine-fueled outdoor lunches or trips to the park.

Mister Freedom Cowboy Jacket
Image Credit: Standard & Strange L.A.’s Mister Freedom sourced a 12-ounce selvedge cotton sateen from Japan to make this trucker style jacket right here in the U.S.A. Can be paired to matching five-pocket pants to form a full-on “cowboy suit.” Yeehaw accordingly.
