Leave it to a modern knife brand to engineer a better cutting board. Steelport just introduced this stylish steel-reinforced, dual-sided cutting surface. Sleek and ultra-thin at just 0.75”, this dual-surface board marries elegant walnut end-grain with a hygienic composite side complete with juice groove. A patent-pending steel core keeps it warp-free—and flipping/cutting effortless. Finished with beveled handles for flair and grip, it's handmade in Portland.

Pleats, but make them relaxed. Flint and Tinder's 365 shorts update the classic chino short with a roomier, throwback fit that feels right on time. Cut from the brand's fan-favorite 8 oz stretch cotton, they're soft, unstructured and surprisingly flattering—especially through the thigh. A subtle pleat and slightly wider leg give them a relaxed, grown-up vibe that works just as well with loafers and a polo as it does with sneakers and a tee.

These aren't simple sweats. Well, that's exactly what they are. But the design has been well thought out. Abercrombie's baggy open-hem sweatpants hit that sweet spot between relaxed and refined, with a clean, straight-leg silhouette that feels modern, not messy. Crafted in luxuriously 70/30 cotton and poly blend, they've got a vintage-like feel and relaxed silhouette with roomy side pockets, a back pocket and exterior drawcords. Plus, they're offered in sizes XS-XXL and three inseam lengths so you can dial in your ideal fit.

Vegan, cruelty-free and designed in NYC, each vial also comes with a Spotify playlist to transport you city to city in style. A refined sampler that's unexpected, elevated and all for just 60 bucks.

It's always smart to have a blade handy. And the James Brand's Palmer is a minimalist, pocket-sized utility knife that balances form and function. With its patented easy-open locking mechanism enabling tool-free blade swaps, a slim profile that fits a coin pocket, and a bright anodized aluminum or translucent recycled-PCTG handle, it feels like a lifestyle accessory as much as a tool. Especially the new Artist Series (like this one featuring Moblow).
