There's something inherently cool about a unique T-shirt. But it's also not easy (or affordable) finding the perfectly bizarre vintage tee, right? If you're looking to save a few steps (and dollars), this under-the-radar brand creates exclusive drops that are only available at the moment. The designs are cool (be it automotive or travel related) and the ephemeral nature means that you won't see them everywhere.

It's always a good time for a pocket knife. But when the weather warms up, there are all kinds of adventures popping up where a Swiss Army knife can come in handy. Maybe it's the new #ValetYellow colorway, but the Alox Limited Edition series for 2023 has us wanting to carry this anodized aluminum knife on our keychain anywhere and everywhere. At just over two inches, it's not too big and yet still features a blade, scissors, file and screwdriver to tackle a myriad of tasks.

The weather is warming up, and that means it's time to break out the madras. And if you want the best, Sid Mashburn has just the collaboration for you. Original Madras Trading Company is a third-generation family business that's been handweaving since the 1970s on traditional looms in—where else?—Madras, India. In fact, the cloth for a single shirt takes 4-6 hours of handwork from a single weaver. The Mashburn capsule includes four madras shirts, each with Sid's impeccable tailoring and a soft, nonfused button-down collar.

Not all spring sneakers have to be white. The Vans Vault line takes archived designs from the last 40 years and creates fresh, premium footwear. Like these OG Authentic LX, which are cut from a soft suede in a rich olive shade—ideal for your navy pleated chinos or newly acquired raw denim. There's a contrasting suede strip on the back of the heel as an added design detail and, of course, the shoes feature Vans' signature rubber waffle outsole.

This is a small piece that can make a big impact in your home. Crafted from solid acacia wood, each table has natural wood variance to it and the wood grain's beauty is brought out by the ebony stain. The trio of cone-shaped legs give it a slight retro vibe but also make it feel extremely current. Use it as a side table next to your sofa or between two chairs. It makes a good nightstand or just a statement table to hold a potted plant. The point is, it's a great bargain for a piece of accent furniture that you'll be able to use for a long time.
