Today in Gear: End Your Week Here

Good news for my impulse shopping habit: Meta recently announced that they’ll be cutting down on Instagram shopping in order to focus on “core features”. Impacted features will include the end of “live shopping” on March 16th which previously allowed shops to tag products during live streams, as well as the removal of the “shopping” tab from the main navigation, which is set to be included in an update sometime in February. These announcements come at a time when Meta is increasingly attempting to cut costs, and it’s clear that shopping functions are no longer core to the company mission.

Today we’re taking a look at a home organization tool, a one-of-a-kind whiskey, and a futuristic leather shirt. This is Today in Gear.

Out with the New and In with the Old

Hay

In 1934 Dutch designer Gerrit Rietveld designed the Crate Collection utilizing surplus shipping materials. Now, popular home design brand HAY has partnered with Rietveld Originals to relaunch the Crate Collection for the modern home. The collection includes lounge chairs and tables constructed from weatherproof solid pine that will be at home in any outdoor space. The collection is available in a range of colors to compliment your personal style and you can also purchase a matching quilted cushion to add additional comfort.

Your Own Whiskey Blend

Oak & Eden

Customization has come to the world of whiskey. Oak & Eden is now inviting shoppers to design their own unique bottle of whiskey. Buyers have their choice of base whiskey between bourbon, rye, four-grain bourbon and wheated bourbon, and from there are able to refine the flavor by selecting the proof, spire and infusion. There are 11 different infusions to choose from including, coffee, vanilla, blackberry liqueur, or rum, but you can only pick one (or none). For only $59 this is a truly unique liquor-purchasing experience, and you’re certain to walk away with a whiskey you’ll be excited to share.

A Shirt You Can See Through

Mr Porter

Transparent hot pink leather may be the most futuristic fashion moment we’ve seen in a bit. Rick Owens has released a collection using leather that has been made transparent through a specialized glycerine treatment. The stand out of the collection is *clearly* the Pink Leather Overshirt, which sports classic tailoring while allowing you to see glimpses of the tank or shirt you may layer underneath. The shirt includes a strap detail across the shoulders that doubles as a functional feature to allow you to remove and carry the shirt with ease. The pink shirt is available on Mr Porter alongside other items from the collection for $3470.
