Gear Patrol x Onia Amaury Swim Trunks

Our friends over at Gear Patrol have teamed up with swimwear label Onia for this limited-edition colorway of their Amaury board short. You may recall our recent interview with Carl of Onia as he discussed why he chose to enter the swimwear market highlighting a major gap in finding a well-fitting pair of shorts that’s not overdone with pockets and designs. Onia’s designs are more timeless with a more tailored fit, an 8″ inseam and curved waistband and are technically sound with their paneled cotton nylon construction.

They’re made in the USA and this special collaboration in ocean blue are limited to 99 pieces. These feature khaki detailing on the drawstring, zipper linings and a coin pocket.

Profound Aesthetic Olive Wood Bracelet

The warmer it gets, the more we’re inclined to ditch our watches and put something a bit more lightweight and casual on our wrists. We’ve covered Profound Aesthetic’s wrist wear offerings in the past and they’ve just tipped us off to a new colorway being added to the brand’s well-recieved “Wood” Collection. They’ve dropped a new bracelet, this time opting for olive wooden beads and a black quartz stone. The piece always features an anchor finished in oxidized silver that is a welcomed touch.

Left Field NYC | Red Mock Skull Polo

From Left Field comes a great lineup of well-fitting polos. The styles are actually really well-done with contrasting collars and our favorite happens to be this one in a salmon-like shell and Liberty of London floral print lining. The genuine Mother of Pearl buttoning and the Left Field skull logo embroidered on the chest really top this one off.

The design’s so simplistic but utilization of some solid materials and fitting it with unique details is what sets it apart.
