Overland Sheepskin Co. has been the King of the Mountain Town for decades. They have spent their whole existence providing mountain residents, skiers, hunters, and explorers with some of the highest quality and stylish leather and sheepskin options on the market. While they started with great leather coats, they expanded to offer slippers, hats, and shirts and even dove into the home goods industry. If you are a man who loves anything leather, this is the place to go. Head down to Santa Fe and visit their flagship to make your home look fit for the mountain man. Their expansion continued with their newest drops embracing another animal fiber to add to their lexicon. The Overland Sheepskin Co Alpaca collection deepens the company’s offerings.

Overland Sheepskin Alpaca Overshirt — Overland Sheepskin

Alpaca is one of the more popular fabrics on the market today due to its luxurious feel, functional warmth, and ability to be fashioned into countless stylish options. There are tons of companies looking to expand into the market, and this is the perfect way for Overland Sheepskin Co. to continue its reign as the go-to for guys on the mountain who need functional warmth. In their new drops, they added two Peruvian sweater options with a mock neck and a quarter-zip. They also offer an overshirt that will look amazing over the sweaters or flannel. And finally, in true Overland Sheepskin style, they offer a brilliant coat that is good for any event. Our bet is these will grow in popularity and alpaca will spread throughout the other departments of the company.

The North Face looks to keep you dry in 2025 with new rain collection

Staying dry through the April Showers and May Flowers

The North Face new rain collection

In 1966, a brand emerged with a name defining its goal. The North Face got its name from the most challenging side of the mountain to traverse. Since then, they have been one of the most popular and most dependable brands when it comes to the outdoorsman looking to summit the tallest peak, navigate the harshest climate, or just go from the car to the house without being drenched in a downpour. They have now dropped the 2025 rain collection with the goal of getting you from the April showers to the May flowers without spending months soaked to the bone. While they are always stacked with great outdoors gear, there are a few standouts in the collection The North Face released this year for you to consider.

Nursery rhymes may make you feel better on occasion, but "April showers bring May flowers" only works if you actually make it to May to enjoy the blooms. Depending on where you live, you could be in danger of washing away if you don't protect yourself from the occasional downpour. The Jack Victor Elements Capsule is setting up to be one of the most important of the year as it brings the best rain jackets on the market all in one place for you to pick up whatever your style aesthetic may be. Of course, that means there are inevitably going to be a handful of options to choose from, but the collection from Jack Victor is the complete set.
Stay dry AND stylish

For us, the building of a collection starts from the top down. That means we will look at the more elevated options that will create the perfect dressed-up looks protected from the rain. The oatmeal topcoat is the perfect versatile option to go over your suits and office wear. Then, the Herrington Jacket in pure cashmere creates the best smart casual look out there. The next step is to pick up your streetwear or more casual looks, and the best-selling Navy Bomber Jacket is the headliner for the whole collection. The perfect jacket for every day when you leave the office to live your life. They also offer a suede hooded vest that is the pinnacle of street style. Finally, the in-between styles focus on functionality, leaving the raincoats and the field jackets for those times when you need something to get you through the worst weather of the season.

Alex Crane welcomes spring with new colors for the best-seller

Their best-selling bay sweater is now available in springtime colors

Building the right transition wardrobe is all about versatility. Finding ways to make lighter layers work for you by layering up. When you master layering, spring and fall will be more fun and more comfortable, and you can experiment with combining colors, textures, and fabrics. While layering up for the unpredictable rain, winds, and second winters that rudely horn in on the beginning of baseball season, a good sweater is vital for that goal. The Alex Crane Bay Sweater is one of their best sellers every year, and there is a handful of reasons why. The 100% organic cotton is light enough to serve as a layering piece and warm enough to keep you guarded against the unpredictable weather changes.
Understated elegance for spring style

Why use organic cotton? Because it is grown without fertilizers or pesticides and uses 70% less water than conventional cotton. Alex Crane grows their organic cotton in northern India, in the state of Punjab. Cotton is naturally soft, durable, and breathable. Only 1% of global cotton production is organic, so AC looks to help increase that percentage. These Bay Sweaters are made in Romania, in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, meaning they can source the cotton straight from the sources all over Europe. Now that you have chosen the best cotton sweater for this season, you can style it with a henley or a button-down underneath or a great textured overshirt or jacket over the top of it. The bone, pine, and king colorways are the perfect way to stand out for the current season.
