Products of the Week: Wooly Birkenstocks and Hunting Jackets

The Parisian brand Octobre Éditions just released its 10 year anniversary collection, which its chosen to promote alongside the Parisian boy Lucas Bravo (read: Gabriele from Emily in Paris). It’s full of its classic silhouettes like its Oberon Coat, Faldo Sweater and Dusk Elasticated Pants. The brand has built an identity on crafting garments made to last — both in terms of wear and tear and style trends.

Buck Mason keeps dropping hit after hit. A few weeks ago, we preached the necessity of its suede chore coat, and while that still rings true, we think you should add this bird-dog hunting jacket to your collection for variety (don’t they call it the spice of life or something?). This piece takes design cues from hunting silhouettes (obviously) — think Rivals, if you’re in on posh, English pop-culture.

If you were inspired by our recent Alpine story, then this is the perfect product for you. Le Creuset just released its Alpine Fondue set ahead of the colder months, which was perfect timing. It’s crafted out of the brand’s signature enameled cast iron and, of course, comes in most colorways they offer. Just picture all of the aprés ski evenings you could have with this.

Music video director Cole Bennett has teamed up with Birkenstock to give us… wooly mammoth winter? The duo dreamed up a new version of the brands iconic Boston Clog, so now when you pair it with your baggy chinos, onlookers will be greeted with tufted wool felt at your feet. We back it. The shoes are finished with a moon buckle, which definitely adds to the fantastical snow fallen woodland creature vibe of it all.

If you weren’t aware, Absolut has a series of collectible bottles it makes in collaboration with artists — a practice that dates back to 1985 featuring icons from the likes of Andy Warhol to Keith Haring. It just released a new one dreamed up with Kaws, an American artist whose work focuses on creating 3D figurative characters. His artwork is now unmistakably translated into a reimagined version of the bottle featuring modern graphic outlines and characters.
