Cool Watches That Also Serve As Conversation Starters

Trying to make conversation with people, especially those who may never have met or spoken to before, may not the easiest task in the world. There are a number of situations you may find yourself in where this is the case, such as at a social gathering or a work seminar.

One popular conversation starter, apart from discussing the weather, is if you or another person has a unique gadget or is wearing a cool looking watch. 

Timepieces have been a great topic of discussion for many years, and with the ever-increasing advancements in technology and electronics, there are some really unique and different types of watches available on the market today, many of which are proving to be very popular.

Watches based on your personality

Watches come in a huge range of styles and there will always be a watch that is ideal for everyone. Whether you are loud and flashy, or quiet and timid, the timepiece that you wear will usually be a reflection of your personality. 

Watches for women tend to be more delicate and small in size, usually decorated with jewels or interesting patterns or textures, which watches for men can often be huge chunky timepieces which have a range of knobs and features that provide a whole range of other features, besides telling you the time. 

In this article, we will take a look at some of the cool and unique watches that are available and which great talking points when you are out and about.

Rolex watches

Rolex timepieces are some of the all-time classics and are famous throughout their world for their unique style and exceptionally high quality. For many people, wearing a Rolex watch is a sign of their financial success and the watches are often ones that come with a very hefty price tag. 

One of the most unique models from Rolex is the Platinum Diamond Pearlmaster, which is one of the flashiest watches you’ll see, decorated with diamonds and a sapphire. It’s certainly not a watch that too many people are going to be able to afford, and will set you back over $250,000. If you are looking for a watch that can act as a conversation started, then this is certainly one to consider.

However, if you are looking for something with even more bling than the Pearlmaster, then what you need, as long as money is no object, is the Rolex GMT Master II Ice. Made with white gold, it probably contains more diamonds than you’d find in an African diamond mine. The cost of this model is an eye-watering $485,000, and it’s not something you’d want to be outside wearing unless you have your own private security team surrounding you every step you take.

The watches offer a sense of intrigue as a lot of people, who would never be able to afford or wear such a watch, will usually have a lot of questions for the person wearing it such as how much did it cost, and why they went for that particular model.

Casio Calculator watches

There is a lot of love for all things retro, whether that by the fashion you wear, the car you drive or the computer games console that you play. Some items may actually be originals that are 30 years old, while others may be modern versions of old classics. 

One classic watch that everyone who was around in the 1980’s will remember are the famous Casio calculator watches. These were seen as something of a technological breakthrough back in the day (long before the internet, WiFi and Bluetooth), and anyone who had one of these was certainly one of the cool guys with a unique spy watch that not many other people had.

They were certainly handy during mathematics class in school, and the kid who wore one would usually have all of their friends sitting close by to help work out any tricky sums.

Fitbit / Apple Watch

The era of digital smartwatches is certainly upon us, and the popularity of these types of timepieces have been growing steadily over the past few years. Ever since the advent of the smartphone, it was only a matter of time before the smartwatch was part of our lives, and more and more people around the world, especially those who are fitness enthusiasts, have moved over to this type of watch. 

Models such as the Fitbit Blaze Fitness Tracker can keep a track of your heartbeat, count the number of steps you’ve walked, and how many calories you have burnt during your last workout. This is actually a pretty chunky looking watch and one that will certainly catch the eye of any people you may be in proximity to.

The Apple Watch can also offer you a range of other functions and can connect with your email, music software, so you can listen to your favorite music as you are out and about, as well as a range of other useful apps, in addition to being able to sync to your iPhone. iPhones, and to a lesser extent Apple Watches are also a topic of discussion, either with those who love them or those who hate them.

Some final thoughts

When it comes to an accessory that will make you stand out amongst others, a watch is certainly one of the most powerful and effective ways of starting a conversation. With so many different styles and models, the world of the watch is one that is constantly evolving, even though at the end of the day, the basic function is to simply tell you the time.

You can have watches made of 24-carat diamonds costing thousands of dollars, or one made with plastic costing less than $100. They will both usually do the exact same job, but it’s their style and appearance that sets them apart. Not everyone can afford to wear a watch with a similar price tag to that of a house or apartment in many places around the world, but if someone has the money, they are more than entitled to spend it on a timepiece.

Kanevas New Men’s Collection Briefcase and Duffel Bag

As an urban commuter going on a trip for business or pleasure, it can be a struggle to switch from a briefcase, or a carry-on to a backpack. You want versatility when it comes to your bag and you want one that caters to both situations.  Canadian retail company Kanevas understands this need and thus they specialized in bags that are one of a kind, “designed for you, by you.”

The company has been in the market providing the women population comfort and convenience with their travel needs. They make handmade custom bags that adapt to their carrying needs in any given situation. As such, they want to give the same satisfaction to the opposite gender with the briefcase and duffel bag from their new men’s collection.

Your Style, Your Satisfaction

Founded in Quebec City in 2017 by Mylène Cusson and Marie-Hélène David, Kanevas gives customers the freedom to express their inner fashion designer. They want users to create bags that match their style and personal needs. The customization process allows them to choose their desired fabric, accessories, colors, features, and more. The outcome then is a bag that becomes a form of self-expression.

The briefcase and duffel bag easily adapts to your personal style and taste while offering multiple storage solutions for a functional carry. You can transform the briefcase into a backpack in a few easy steps. The duffel bag can easily get you from work to the gym or to a weekend getaway.

One-Of-A-Kind Creation

There is no one bag that can truly satisfy anyone when it comes to practicality. Those in retail markets are either missing one feature you’re looking for, too expensive, or not to your liking. They may look appealing but they don’t do bags justice in general. They end up being fashion accessories and gathering dust after just a few uses.

Kanevas, on the other hand, lets you “make your own choices without compromise” so you don’t settle for anything less. You get to take part in the creation of your bag from the ground up. You get the liberty to decide on the how and why: how you want your bag to look and why you want it designed as such. Thus, no bag is ever alike with the other. Each is unique to each user.

Convertible, Organization-Master

The Briefcase from Kanevas new men’s collection is one great example of elegance and extreme organization. Multiple zippered compartments and internal pockets give you plenty of storage options for your work essentials.

Call it your portable office if you will.  Its practical storage solution keeps your items organized and safe. There is space for your laptop, tablet, cellphone, credit cards, power banks, documents, other tech gadgets, and more. The briefcase even comes with a built-in external quick-access port for your mobile charger.

As for portability and convenience, the briefcase from Kanevas easily switches from handheld to backpack carry in two simple clicks. The stowaway backpack straps are neatly concealed in the zippered back pocket.  It retains its elegant edge all throughout regardless of carrying method.

On-The-Go, Anytime And Anywhere

Meanwhile, the Kanevas duffel bag is as versatile as it can get. You can take it to work or to your next weekend trip. It provides enough space to store a quick change of clothes and has a built-in laptop compartment. You also get the option of adding a side pocket for dirty clothes or dirty shoes.

This bag features a two-way carry method just like the briefcase. It has a couple of short handles for hand carry and an adjustable shoulder strap for hands-free.

Sustainable, Durable, High-tech

Kanevas prides itself on using sustainable rPet fabrics for the bags’ inner lining. 30 percent of the composition comes from recycled water bottles. The bags can be made with genuine or vegan leather or with felt.

The company also incorporates technology with their fashion designs. As such, they make use of augmented reality to bring their product to life. This helps customers get a visible idea of their finished design. It shows them how it will look like on all sides and angles at the comfort of their homes.

Conclusion

In this modern world of advanced technology and a fast-paced lifestyle, one thing you can rely on to get you to your destination is a fully-functional, reliable, and durable bag. One with great and timeless appeal is a bonus.

All these qualities Kanevas delivers. The briefcase and the duffel bag from their new men’s collection cater to the active lifestyle of business and travel. As such, they are versatile, sturdy, boasts a great appeal, and comes with an exterior slip pocket for easy transport with your suitcase.  All these commendable features prove that you can never go wrong with owning a Kanevas bag.

The new men’s collection is now available for an early-bird purchase over at Kickstarter. The campaign will end on Nov. 28 afterward the bags will be accessible at Kanevas online studio.

The Black Ember Shadow

A top-quality backpack is an essential accessory when it comes to travel. Whether you’re off to a weekend getaway, to work, to a hike, or to the gym, then durability and functionality are a must. California-based independent design studio Black Ember, knows the importance of having a versatile and tough pack that offers more than it looks. They are masters when it comes to designing minimalist yet fully-functional backpacks for the active lifestyle. Their new collection, the Black Ember Shadow, can withstand the harshest of wet conditions and stay robust under pressure.

The urban jungle can be a dangerous place to be in—you just never know what challenges await you. Whether these are from prying eyes or sticky fingers, you can only do so much in protecting yourself and your gear. But when it comes to unpredicted weather conditions, you can bet that the Black Ember Shadow will safeguard everything you’ve got in your backpack.

Waterproof and Robust Construction

Science and technology merged to create a pack that not only guarantees longevity but also great appeal. The Black Ember Shadow only uses fine textiles to ensure pristine, tough, and waterproof construction.

Heavy downpours and water splashes are a no-brainer for this pack thanks to its special construction. It is laser cut from Black Ember’s proprietary, high-performance Microhex HTX textile, a three-layer nylon cross-weave that boasts IP-X6 waterproof performance. Top this off with YKK Aquaguard zippers with their polyurethane laminate and you have water merely gliding off like beads before it can even seep through the fabric shell.

Not only does the Black Ember Shadow keep your gear dry it also keeps them snug and safe inside no matter your movements. It is also abrasion-resistant. The seams are machine-stitched and high-pressure bonded using the studio’s BOND-STITCH tech for extreme durability and added water protection.

Plus, 200 Denier ripstop lining enhances the shell strength, and anodized, laser-etched T6 aluminum tension hooks ensure carrying straps remain secured while on the go.  Hypalon zipper pulls that lock together with a snap also prevents accidental slips and unwanted access from idle hands.

 All-day on-the-go comfort

The Black Ember Shadow is not your run-off-the-mill backpack that’s all frills and no thrills. It is a delight to tout around not only for its construction and aesthetics but for its comfort. It features a back panel that independently flexes to fit with the shape of your back. Perforated EVA panels also offer room for breathability.

Meanwhile, removable magnetic sternum and compression straps ensure a balanced weight distribution and add back and shoulder support. The shoulder straps cleverly tuck away behind butterfly back panels and together with the side handle, they easily convert the pack into a briefcase. The addition of a language strap makes this backpack a good travel companion with your suitcase.

Smart and Spacious Organization

A good storage capacity with convenience in access is also a prerequisite when it comes to choosing a fully-functional backpack. The Black Ember Shadow exceeds expectations as it does not only come in a 26 or 22-liter storage. It also has dedicated quick-access pockets for on-the-go convenience. It seems like the company has thought of everything.

The main compartment zips open clamshell-style to reveal a foam-padded base and two suspended sleeves on one side to store a laptop and a tablet. The opposite side has a couple of meshed pockets, one for a water bottle and the other for other essentials.

There is even a tech kit held by a magnetic closure that flicks open with ease. Unbuckle the kit and you have full access to six pockets to keep things organized.

Meanwhile, the exterior zippered compartment has quick-access micro-organization on point. It has magnetic hardware for your keys and divided pockets to store pens, a mobile phone, and more.

Conclusion

The Black Ember Shadow boasts superior protection that makes it almost indestructible. It even has the timeless appeal to boot. Its minimalist yet modern design is stylish. Coupled with its smart organization, this backpack easily lets you go from work to play (or vice versa) in seconds.

Protect and your Apple Watch with the Gray Cyber Watch Case and Band combo

For years now, the Apple Watch has been a commercial success that has left Android Wear behind. Battery life continues to be dismal in comparison to wearables from Huawei, Samsung, and other brands. Nevertheless, its widespread adoption makes it a perfect platform for third-party accessory manufacturers. While its first-party options retail for premium prices, there are some add-ons that cost more than the device itself. The Gray Cyber Watch is one of those which retails for up to $1,299.

What makes it even more ridiculous is the fact that it is for a case and band only. Although the Apple Watch can survive some accidental bumps and scrapes, it lacks the protection that some of its competitors ship with. Thus, there is a thriving demand for aftermarket accessories that could augment its survivability. Common items owners shop for are tempered glass screen protector and protective cases.

The Cyber Watch from Gray is an upscale case with an FKM rubber band that not only keeps your wearable safe but enhances its appearance. You can choose from titanium or aluminum variants and several colors to match your preference. It is engineered to perfection and fits the Apple Watch without any noticeable gaps. The metal housing reinforces its overall durability and elevates its aesthetics

Likewise, to absorb the shock from impacts an FKM rubber insert sits between the titanium frame and the Apple Watch. Taking into account the crown, the right section angles inward to make the button accessible. If you are getting the Cyber Watch from Gray, you might as well splurge on its other collection to protect your iPhone and AirPods.

    The Complete Buying Guide to Levi’s Jeans: All Men’s Fits, Explained

    Welcome to Brand Breakdown, a series of comprehensive yet easy-to-digest guides to your favorite companies, with insights and information you won’t find on the average About page.

    In the beginning, there was one: the 501. In 1873, Levi Strauss and Co. received a patent for blue jeans reinforced with rivets and began producing stronger pants for working men. Over the past century, the brand’s jeans became a favorite of miners, laborers, rock stars and city-dwellers — a quintessential American garment that transcended all social classes. And since the advent of the 501, Levi’s has created dozens of fits for its ever-growing clientele.

    All Levi’s jeans follow a similar naming sequence, beginning with the 501. But, the reason for the 501 designation is a bit of mystery. “Around 1890 is when we started calling our copper-riveted waist overalls the 501,” says Jonathan Cheung, the Senior Vice President of Design Innovation at Levi’s. The mystery surrounding the number is largely due to the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 that destroyed many of the company’s files. “The 501 was a product identification number, but we don’t know the reason why it was a three digit number beginning with five,” said Cheung. So now, as an homage to the company’s legacy, all Levi’s fits are denoted by a number: 501, 505 and 511, among others. Each number denotes a cut designed for a specific style and body type.

    Throughout the 20th century, Levi’s also made jeans outside of the 500 series. The 200s in the 1920s and 600s in the 1960s were both designed to be more affordable. But for ease of use, this guide will only describe the fits that are made by Levi’s today (Levi Vintage Clothing and Levi’s Made and Crafted are not included in this guide).

    Terms to Know

    Denim: The fabric used to make jeans, this strong cotton twill is dyed with indigo which gives it a distinctive blue shade. In recent years, this all-cotton fabric is woven with a small percentage of stretch material for comfort.

    5-pocket: The foundational design of all blue jeans designed by Levi’s. The 5-pocket design is simple: two front internal pockets, one right-hand coin pocket — originally a “watch pocket” — and two back patch pockets.

    Bar Tacks: A series of close machine-made stitches used to reinforce stress points throughout the jeans. Most noticeably, this feature is found on the top corners of the back pockets.

    Rivets: Another foundational feature of all Levi’s, copper rivets are placed at a handful of stress points on the jeans.

    Red Tab: This small tab is sewn on the outside of the right back pocket. It is one of a few ways Levi’s are instantly recognizable.

    Arcuates: These two rows of yellow stitches form arcs on the back pockets of every pair of Levi’s.

    Back Leather Patch: No pair of Levi’s is complete without the back right waistband patch showing two horses pulling apart a pair of jeans — a nod to Levi’s strength and durability. For practical purposes, this patch also shows the fit number and size.

    Understanding Fit

    Anti-fit: This is essential to Levi’s ethos. Jeans have a slightly looser fit, especially in the top block (see below). “The back of a pair of Levi’s doesn’t really hug a guy’s backside perfectly,” Cheung said.”That is deliberate.” The iconic image of Bruce Springsteen’s posterior on the cover of Born in the USA exemplifies this look.

    Top Block: The part of the pant that includes the waist and hips. The cut here defines the fit through the thighs: skinny, slim or straight.

    Waist: To find a waist size, measure across the top of a pair of jeans (laid flat) and double that number (i.e. a waist measured at 16 inches is tagged as a size 32). The waist measurement is also the first number of the tagged sized (i.e. 32 x 34).

    Inseam: This is the second size listed on the tag. It refers to the measurement from the crotch to the leg opening.

    Rise: The rise indicates where the jeans will sit on your waist. When measured, it is the distance between the crotch and the top of the fly. The greater the rise, the higher the jeans will sit on your waist. Typically, slimmer jeans have a lower rise.

    Shrink-to-Fit: While only available in a small number of Levi’s 501s, shrink-to-fit jeans are made from denim that has not been pre-shrunk in the factory. Jeans cut from this denim will shrink when soaked and will form to your body. Levi’s claims these jeans will shrink up to 10 percent after the first soak.

    The Levi’s Fits to Know

    Since the release of 501s, Levi’s expanded its offering to include numerous fits for different occasions and lifestyles. Currently, the brand offers well over a dozen silhouettes for men — here’s how to tell them apart.

    Straight Fits

    501 Original Fit Jeans

    501-Original-Fit-Jeans-gear-patrol-650


    The fit of the original blue jean has changed over the years, but you can still count on a straight cut that sits at the waist with a button fly. You won’t get more classic than this.

    501 Original Shrink-to-Fit Jeans

    501-Original-Shrink-To-Fit-Jeans-gear-patrol-650


    This is a raw denim version of the classic 501. These have the same straight fit as the standard 501s but are designed to shrink to your body. There are a few different ways to achieve the best fit, but the Levi’s-approved method is simple: buy a pair with your true waist size, but with an inseam that is two sizes larger than what you typically wear. Put the jeans on and sit in a warm bath. Then wear them until dry.

    Take Hiking to the Next Level With the On Cloudrock Edge Raw

    Hiking boots need not be dull, heavy, and typical- if you know what I mean. They can appear rugged and sporty too just like the On Cloudrock Edge Raw.

    These pair do not look like hiking boots at all, but much more like basketball shoes. That’s probably because of its design, with its soft high collar reminiscent of those worn by basketball players. The high collar serves its purpose as it provides cushion and grip during hikes or long walks.

    Aside from the soft collar, the On Cloudrock Edge Raw also has a padded liner and a reinforced tongue for further comfort and cushion. The trio makes outdoor activities comfortable and enjoyable. As such, this ultra-limited pair is designed for the outdoors. It is also windproof and water-proof. It also has a 7mm heel-toe drop.

    The addition of the Missiongrip soles and their varied traction patterns guarantee grip on mixed terrain and conditions. You can be certain of pedal safety with these shoes on, as long as you also mind the path you tread on.

    Moreover, the On Cloudrock Edge Raw is the most sustainable product from the brand as of date. It is made from 80 percent polyester sourced from recycled materials. The shoes are made from 30 percent recycled polypropylene Speedboard, 5 percent recycled rubber sock-liner, and 50 percent recycled wind and waterproof polyurethane membrane. These make the pair lightweight to “make long adventures lighter.” The shoe is just at a weight of 1.03lbs. The materials are also guaranteed dye and bleach-free.

    These Hiking Boots Broke My Sneaker Addiction

    I must confess. I’m not really a boot guy. I know a lot about boots and shoe construction and have rapped lengthily about which boots are worth your time and money. My favorite TV show category is cobbler voyeurism. But day in and day out, my go-to shoes are sneakers. They’re comfortable, they’re stylish and they’re less expensive. Though, if I have a few dozen sneakers, the price disparity evens out, if not totally throws my logic out the window.

    Season Three changed that. Founded by Jared Ray Johnson and Adam Klein, the brand’s first shoe (and first-ever product) was debuted on the Paris runway in Reese Cooper’s FW20 show. The nouveau outdoors/heritage aesthetic of the young designer was an ideal pairing for Johnson and Klein whose own brand takes challenges and respects traditional menswear.

    Its flagship boot, The Ansel, is made in Northern Italy in a region known for its traditional shoemaking. The two were lucky enough to find a factory that was willing to step outside of its shoebox and take on a young brand with new ideas.

    At first, the boots don’t look much different than most other hiking boots — which is the point. The design is classic, if more minimal. Though, not without sounding off a few bells and whistles.

    season 3 boots

    Gerald Ortiz

    Maybe the most notable difference is the lining. “We had to push our factory to try new things and they’d say ‘that’s not how we do things,’ but we’d said ‘let’s just try,'” Klein said. The lining is made from 100 percent wool from New Zealand. A wool-lined hiking boot sounds like a shoe you’d only pull out for deep winter excursions, but Season Three uses it because it actually makes it a better year-round shoe. That’s because wool is a great temperature-regulator in the cold and in the heat. It has the ability to insulate, but can also wick away moisture and allow sweat to evaporate more easily which makes the shoes breathable.

    season 3 boots

    Gerald Ortiz

    Breathability was also a key factor in deciding upon the lining. Tech-forward hiking shoes like those from Salomon and even heritage brands like Danner often use Gore-tex to line their boots in order to make them waterproof and less breathable. That’s where the merino wool comes in. “One of the issues I had with my Gore-tex boots was that they would get too hot as soon as I came indoors,” Klein says. You might not be the kind of person to leave your shoes on as soon as you get home, but I found myself keeping the Ansels on even if my furthest journey was to the kitchen.

    The shoes are waterproof up to a certain point. Though I didn’t test out their 45-minute rainproof claim even though we recently had several straight days of downpour, I inadvertently did exactly what Season Three had intended. “We wanted to make a shoe for the 95 percent of days,” Klein says. “For the days when it’s torrential, most people will just put on their serious boots.” He was right. When sheets of rain were dumping outside, I opted for proper rubber rain boots instead.

    season 3 boots

    Gerald Ortiz

    Concerning break-in, the Ansel has none. In every respect, they’re incredibly comfortable straight out of the box. The leather is sturdy without being stiff, so breaking in the toe and ankle was a non-issue. The Vibram Morflex Christy sole is super spongey, lightweight and flexible. Plus, the included ortholite insoles (which are removable, should you need to insert your own) are bouncy and supportive in all the right places. “With every decision we had to make, it came down to ‘is this going to make it more comfortable?'” Johnson says.

    Quality, resolable Goodyear-welted boots have a several barriers to entry. Aside from price, comfort and a break-in period are major turn-offs. I’ve parted ways with some shoes because the pain just wasn’t worth it. Season Three has broken down that barrier and made one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes in my closet, sneakers included.

    season 3 boots

    Gerald Ortiz

    They’re easier to put on than my Converse high top sneakers. Why? One of the little innovations that makes the Ansel great is a surreptitious one. Hidden at the back of the ankle is a cutout that splits the ankle in two, making it easy to don and doff the boots. That cutout won’t turn these hiking boots into slip-ons, though. You’ll still have to lace them up. But in combination with the easily adjustable D-ring lacing and speed hooks, the cutout takes the Ansel’s ease-of-use to another level, eliminating another boot barrier to entry.

    “We wanted to make a shoe for everybody,” Klein says. For the majority of the year, for the largest swathe of people, Season Three’s boot has achieved its goal. For all the same reasons I’ve chosen sneakers over boots time and again, I chose to lace up the Ansel over other boots. If you weren’t a boot person, Season Three’s Ansel Boot will make you one.

    The ErgoChair 2 features the mass-adjustability that’s needed in a chair you’ll sit in eight hours a day – the armrests move, the seat pan moves, the seat cushion moves and, perhaps most helpfully, the lumbar support slides up and down the spine of the chair. All this, in tandem with a mesh back and a wicked sub-$400 price point (now $80 off for a limited time), make Autonomous’ chair one of the best value buys there is.

    These Affordable Face Masks Are Worth Every Penny

    The unofficial and undisputed go-to brand for better basics has officially launched its face masks. Uniqlo’s got every gap filled when it comes to stylish goods, but almost nine months into the global pandemic, had yet to bring a face mask to its digital shelves in America. While everyone else scrambled and put out their own face masks to market, Uniqlo took some more time to develop its own and it’s finally here.

    The AIRism Face Mask has a sophisticated triple layer design that offers protection in the midst of the summer swelter. The first layer — closest to your face — uses its lauded AIRism fabric, which is moisture-wicking and breathable. The anti-odor fabric also has a super soft texture. The mask includes a built-in filter as its middle layer, and the outer layer is a breathable AIRism mesh fabric that blocks 90 percent of UV rays.

    The masks are offered in three different sizes and several colors, and cost $15 for a pack of three. Sizes are colors are selling quickly, so if you want a set of affordable masks, don’t wait.

    Buy Now: $15 (three-pack)

    19 Style Releases and New Watches We’re Obsessed About

    What we at Gear Patrol call the Best Style Releases of the Week, I like to call The Purge. Every seven days my inbox is stuffed and my browser tabs get progressively smaller.

    Uniqlo’s Long-Awaited +J Collection Is Finally Back and It’s Already Selling Out

    Uniqlo’s been a familiar name attached to many a designer collaboration. Projects with lauded names like Engineered Garments and JW Anderson have been highly successful, eliciting numerous iterations. But for the modern minimalist master Jil Sander, fans have been waiting, if not patiently, painfully. The two first collaborated over a decade ago in 2009 for the +J collection which drew praise and crowds to the worldwide retailer. Their collaboration lasted until 2011 when they decided to halt their partnership.

    Finally, the two have reunited and the latest +J collection is for sale today. The collection takes military icons as well as classic tailoring and workwear and brushes it into a subdued color palette and Sander’s eye for sculptural silhouettes. It’s minimal, but not bare. It’s sophisticated and fashion-forward with one foot planted in the sartorial evergreen. Standouts include a merino wool embroidered cardigan that’s already nearly sold out, a relaxed bomber jacket, an oversized down-filled parka and, well, basically every piece of outerwear in the collection.

    Thankfully it looks like we can count on a few more seasons beyond this one. The renewed relationship promises to see future iterations in limited drops, saying “flexible deliveries of smaller collections will facilitate a fluid response to the market.”

    If you’ve been waiting on the two to get back together, don’t wait any longer. It’s selling out fast.
