By this time next week, spring will have officially sprung. And if you’d prefer to have a Brioni suede jacket, a pair of braided leather slippers from Carmina or some seersucker cargo pants by Barena Venezia at the starting line, now’s the time to act. Elsewhere, this week gets creative with a fencing-inspired vest by MotivMfg, a waterproof duffle coat by Private White V.C. and a collaboration between Drake’s and a certain Michelin-starred London restaurant. Come get it while it’s hot.

Vilebrequin x The Woolmark Company Woolen Swim Trunks Super 120s
Image Credit: Vilebrequin You wouldn’t swim in a Super 120s suit—but how about in a Super 120s swimsuit? That’s the bet Vilebrequin is making in its ongoing collaboration with the Woolmark Company, which for this season sees the latter’s Australian merino wool cut into a pair of smart-looking swim trunks with a drawstring waistband. Considering wool’s natural breathability and ability to block UV rays, it’s not as crazy as it sounds.

Image Credit: Private White V.C. Though the duffel coat was first adopted by Royal Navy sailors (and later made famous by a certain cartoon bear), it’s never been the most weather-resistant of outerwear options. That changes with the introduction of Private White’s Ventile duffle, which is made waterproof thanks to its treated canvas fabric and fully taped seams.

Reigning Champ Kyoto Black T-Shirt
Image Credit: Reigning Champ Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “When you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.” The German philosopher may have been referring to this Reigning Champ tee, which like the rest of the maker’s Kyoto collection, was hand-dyed by Japanese artisans in search of the deepest shade of black.

Our Legacy Luft Jacket in Eld Rubberized Nylon
Image Credit: Mohawk General Store We can’t help but think that this oversized nylon jacket from Our Legacy owes a stylistic debt to the 1988 anime flick Akira. However, no previous knowledge of the cyberpunk cult classic is required to enjoy the jacket’s retro-future charm.
