Buck Mason is already known for quality American-made T-shirts. But now they're taking things one step further. After recently saving a 150-year-old Pennsylvania factory from closing, the brand opened Buck Mason Knitting Mills. The brand says it's “more than just a place where clothes are made; it is a testament to the time-honored tradition of American craftsmanship.” Case in point: their new Toughknit T-shirts that are entirely woven, cut and sewn in that factory with U.S.-grown cotton. The '90s-inspired boxy silhouette has an amazing drape and hand feel, plus it comes in six colorways.

No, this isn't a vintage shirt. The lightweight, airy cotton gauze fabric is part of a new collection from J.Crew and is perfect for the hottest days of summer. Plus, it can easily be layered under a jacket or over a tee when the temperatures are more respectful. We're particularly fond of the hazy yellow color and throwback shadow plaid.

Allow us to offer our apologies. Because we're going to introduce you to this Heath Ceramics lamp that's so damn cool, you going to consider shelling out five hundred bucks for an accent lamp. Inspired by the joy and filtered light of catching fireflies in your hand, the opacity and solidity of this clay design is punctuated by small holes on the underside of the shade, creating unexpected ways for the light to escape. This is one part sculpture, one part home decor and one part functional light source. When you add all that up, maybe it's not such a bad deal.

A tote is an essential bag every guy should have. And if a regular-sized canvas tote is good, then an oversized model is even better ... right? Rothco's version is cut from a lightweight yet strong cotton canvas, and finished with a double-layer camouflage base with camo pattern handles. There's also a handy zippered pocket on the inside to secure smaller EDC items. It looks good now, but will look even better after a few months and maybe a run through the washing machine.

Your place could probably use a stool. If you follow design accounts on Instagram, you've likely noticed the proliferation of small stools scattered around rooms—as side tables, as plant stands and makeshift ottomans or simply as extra seating or design statements. This one, from the Magnolia couple's Target collection, is an impressive all-wood Shaker style design for an extremely reasonable price.
