It's more important than ever to speak up. To let the world know that you stand against racism and police brutality. An easy and effective way to do that is to broadcast the message on a T-shirt. This one, from Tombogo, is inspired by an iconic mural under the 580 freeway in Oakland, CA and features hand-painted details. What's more, 100% of the profits go to the National Bailout Fund and Black Lives Matter.

Some shoes are just made for summertime. And this pair of suede loafers is definitely one of them. Who knows what this summer will bring, but these shoes are ready for anything—from backyard barbecues and bonfires to boating or the beach. Cut from soft, water-resistant suede, they're as durable as they are handsome. The slip-resistant sole, and weather-ready materials are crafted by hand in Maine to create a single shoe you can wear all season long.

A man should have a proper steak knife set. Nothing takes away from the pleasure of a perfectly-grilled steak than a cruddy knife that makes slicing it a chore. These knives are crafted from fine, high-carbon German steel and honed to an ultra-sharp cutting edge. The blades are balanced for easy cutting and feature the patented Schmidt Brothers forefinger grip. The bonded ash wood handles are finished with brass to offer a modern take on a traditional style.

Let's take it way back. Luxury resort label Onia and MR PORTER have teamed up for a capsule collection influenced by '60s surfer culture (think: Woodstock goes to Montauk). One of the highlights is this camp collar shirt that manages to be both casual and crisp. It's tailored for a breezy, relaxed fit from breathable cotton and printed with tie-dye stripes.
