Today in Gear: Start Your Week Here

At the Japan Mobility Show last week Toyota showed off two new electric car concepts (plus an e-bike, powered wheelchair and a lunar rover). The first EV is an update to the Toyota Land Cruiser, with a much-in-demand third row to seat a total of seven passengers.

The brand also revealed an electric pickup truck: the EPU. It’s similar to the Ford Maverick, though that truck is a hybrid and not a pure EV. The sleek mid-size pickup is a little shorter than a Tacoma and features a double cab, yoke-style steering wheel, large display screens and a two-piece tailgate with an end that flips up that’s perfect for hauling longer gear for whatever activity you love most.

Today we’re taking a look at a Bulova watch, new Line skis and some fuzzy loafers.

Meet The New Jet Star

Bulova

The new ‘Jet Star’ from Bulova ($595) is inspired by — you guessed it — the brand’s iconic 1973 model that bears the same name. This modern timepiece pays homage to the past through its stainless steel case with an angular design, and the rich deep red sunburst dial. The dial is accented by black and red hour indices and red and silver hands. Only 7,300 of the new Jet Stars are being made, so scoop up one of these limited-edition timepieces today.

The Line Pandora Collection

LINE

The new topsheets for this season’s LINE Pandora collection skis are some of it’s best yet (though, they are stellar every year). Pick four different widths — 84mm, 94mm, 104mm, and 110mm — and you’ll be treated to playful skiing and colorful, psychaedelic graphics to enjoy all day long. These were made in collab with pro skier Hadley Hammer, so you know they’re good.

MiiR French Press

MiiR

We love a good french press, but don’t love cleaning the grounds out after each use. The New Standard French Press solves the problem with a ‘quick-release grounds basket’ that you can pop right out of the press. That means easy clean up and a perfect brew every time. It’s insulated stainless steel and has a sealable top that keep coffee hot for hours.

Fuzzy Loafers For Fall

FRĒDA SALVADOR

We love it when fashion and function unite, and when you add a little fuzz into the mix it’s hard to beat. Freda Salvador just released new suede loafers that has a shearling upper that looks — and feels — super cozy. This is the perfect shoe to put on when you need to look professional, but you really want to be wearing slippers. These are available in a camel color as well as black.

A Multicooker From Our Place

Our Place

Your go-to pan retailer, Our Place, just released a six-quart multicooker — and it’s cute! You can cook 9 cups of rice in ‘the Dream Cooker,’ but you can also sear, saute, warm, pressure cook and slow cook. Plus, in four aesthetically-pleasing colors, it will look great sitting on the counter.
