Alex Crane knows how to make a really good chore jacket. The brand's latest one certainly looks old school, but it's cut from an incredibly modern and sustainable material. The deep blue denim jacket is made with 100% organic cotton, dyed with real indigo and then washed with biodegradable softeners. The result is a soft and comfortable jacket that will wear into a very personal fit and fade.

This isn't a vintage clock. But it certainly looks like one and your guests will no doubt think you scored a genuine antique find. The British-designed Newgate clock has a blocky pedestal design with a clean, crisp white face. There are alarm functions so it makes sense as an alarm clock on your nightstand, but the quiet operation and handsome design would also work nicely on a desk or tucked into a bookcase.

Soap is soap, right? Well, not exactly. You know that better quality raw ingredients always yields better products in the end. And when you're talking about skincare, you want effective ingredients that deliver results. OSEA's new seaweed-infused body wash is specifically pH-balanced to support your skin barrier and is made with hand-harvested Undaria algae seaweed, along with hydrating aloe and glycerin. It suds up easily and the invigorating lather smells like citrus and won't leave any sticky residue.

Get ready for cuddle season. Minnesota's Faribault Mill makes some of the best wool blankets and has been doing it the same way for well over a century. But that doesn't mean they're against mixing things up. They just introduced a new line of throws that mix in recycled polyester and recycled cotton with virgin cotton and super soft lambswool. The blankets are not only offered at an economically friendly price point, they also address the growing environmental crisis of textile pollution.

You can't just wear any cargo pants, right? They've got to be pretty cool. And thankfully, these are. First off, they're constructed from a durable cotton canvas. But the canvas undergoes a specialty stone-washing and enzyme treatment, resulting in a unique texture and appearance for a lived-in and vintage feel, right from the start. And secondly, the fit is relaxed and wide-leg without feeling sloppy. In short, the perfect pair of cargo pants.
