Topo Designs Fleece
New fleece’s from Topo Designs just hit their shop page and soon to be showing up at their stockists as well. I like how Topo takes a piece of tried and true gear (in this case the Synchilla Snap-T) and gives it their own spin and update- reinforced elbows, zipper pocket, a slim fit, and some awesome colors. American made, scoop one up here while they still last.

Strawfoot Caps & Socks

Strawfoot Handmade just put out some neat custom Ebbet caps and Defeet socks in a couple colors each, both American made goods. Check them out on his shop page amongst his handmade bags.
Owner Operator
Owner Operator is a great little brand founded by two fella’s by the name of Steven and Peter run the whole show from New York where it’s all made. This season marks their third collection that’s full of some pretty classically styled outerwear and cold weather accessories that the two snowboarders have designed. Even their logo screams a certain old-school cool that you just can’t find in new gear. The insulated flannels are definitely my favorite pieces, but I’m also a sucker for knitted bobble caps.
