I have the distinct pleasure of gathering all of the sickest style releases of the week, every week. Living in a fantasy world where my closet isn’t just a tabulated collection of JPEGs is my M.O. I live in the Matrix, perusing web store after web store. It all comes crashing down when the end of the week arrives and I have to edit down this list to something manageable. This time, the summer releases ranged from trippy carpenter pants, happy-go-lucky swim shorts, T-shirts for the Black Lives Matter movement and more.

Camiel Fortgens Fisherman Vest

True fact: I’ve never been fishing. Firstly because I’m allergic to seafood. Secondly, because I can’t tread water. I’m sure this dope vest wouldn’t exactly help either of those issues, but I’d feel pretty good wearing it.

Haven Recon Shorts

Out of all the retailers with their own in-house labels, Canada-based Haven’s sits head and shoulders above the competition. It even gives independent labels a run for their money.
