Presenting the Hill-Side's tri-color bandana. Featuring three of their handsome selvedge chambrays, it was commissioned by the gents at West Coast retailer Craft. "Men buy the Hill-Side's stuff not simply for aesthetics, but to actually carry and use daily," says Bill Sack, Craft's co-owner and brainchild behind the collaboration. "I came to them with a basic idea, and after a few tries, we had a design everyone was happy with." After all, why bother with different bandanas and pocket squares when you can have one durable option and simply fold it according to what you're wearing? "Guys tend to form bonds with stuff they have with them all the time," says Sack, who refers to such "stuff" as a pocket inventory. And with this kind of utility, we imagine this clever chambray square will never leave your pocket. But you'd better hurry. There are only 13 available.

$64, at Craft, 513 North La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles

When not at the store, Sack drives a 1957 Chevy 3100 pickup.
