So you can't take two weeks off for a mind-altering desert adventure? Fine. But your shoes can look like you did. Because New York-based sneaker store Packer just released the wildest collab with Timberland we've ever seen. The boat shoe is beefed up and lug-soled, cut from soft suede and yeah, that's right—finished with a turquoise bolo tie lace lock. Why the hell not?!

This is your sign to get a heavy-duty shirt jacket. It's heavier than your average shirt, but not as heavy as even a light jacket, which ensures you get the most wear out of it. California Arts makes the best one right now. Base on a vintage French chore jacket, it's been updated with a modern crop, a lived-in rinse and finished with tortoise shell buttons.

The only downside to warmer weather? Leaving behind your outerwear means leaving behind all that ample pocket storage. This handy pouch provides just enough space to stash your EDC without weighing down your pant pockets. Cut from full grain Italian calf leather, it's lined in smooth calf suede and has a handy wrist loop for easier carrying.

This shirt is like pulling on instant vacation vibes. 3sixteen's take on the classic guayabera shirt, the gauzy short-sleeve features an old school open collar with loop closure, lower hip pockets and a relaxed fit. The details like genuine mother of pearl buttons and a cool crossed back yoke really make the shirt stand out.
