I look forward to April 1st falling on a Friday one day so I can do an April Fools edition…

Here’s what I’d do off the top of my head:

Don’t get me started on my women’s edition of this either… that’d be even more fun to make.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

Rivay Ravello Cotton Linen Pant in Navy/Blue Stripe

Made from a 53% linen, 47% cotton blend sourced from Japan, the Ravello mixes form with ease. A flat front and self draw cord sit above an elastic waist, while the wide leg opening keeps things soft and breathing. The ankle-hitting hem needs no break, and this pant pairs cleanly with leather sandals or suede loafers. Seven color choices give you range, and Italian made means this one will age well.

Rivay Series II Garment Dyed Utility Pant in Vintage Black

This 9oz mid weight Portuguese canvas hits a sweet spot between relaxed and smart. Garment dyed and washed for a worn-in feel, it has a straight leg and sits clean through the waist and hip. The Hollywood waistband, military spec buttons, and back patch pockets nod to real workwear DNA. Size 32 measures 34.5" at the waist with a 43.5" hip and 17" leg opening, and every size gets a 32" inseam with a finished hem.

Putting the work into the workwear section, Rasco Fire has a lineup of entirely fire resistant clothing. They make actual work gear for tradespeople and fireman, but the craft is visible. Could be solid Grill Master attire for the summer. Produced domestically and priced honestly, to boot.

Rasco Fire Gray Heavyweight Work Shirt

Built from 11.5oz fire-resistant Flameshield cotton twill, this shirt is built to last through both rough use and close calls. The western yoke sits above two chest pockets with snap closure, while three snap cuff closures and a placket front round out the details. It hits the mark for work that matters, and the solid blue is clean enough for days off the clock.

Rasco Fire Retro FR Henley

Found in the Rasco trenches and now for sale for a limited run, this retro henley has a three button front placket, left chest patch pocket, and rib knit cuffs that hold shape. Colors span gray, navy, khaki, work blue, red, white, and orange, so shade your mood and move. This works in a true sense.

Thisisneverthat SS26 Goretex 2L Anorak Jacket

Built from Gore-Tex 2L with seam sealing throughout, this anorak sits relaxed and ready for real weather. The aquaguard zip closure and nylon zip pockets seal tight, while adjustable velcro straps at the cuffs and a drawcord hem lock things down. Side vents with sealed zips let you dial in airflow, and the embroidered logo on the hood isn’t noisy. 100% polyester, made in Vietnam, and cut light enough to pack without taking up space.

Thisisneverthat SS26 Goretex 2L Hiking Pant

These hit the same Gore-Tex 2L and seam sealed construction as the anorak, with a relaxed fit that moves. The buckle waistband adjusts on webbing, while aquaguard nylon zip pockets and sealed side vents keep weather out without trapping sweat. A drawcord hem cinches the leg, and the embroidered logo sits small and earned. 100% polyester, made in Vietnam, and built to layer under or stand on their own when the rain comes hard.

Ledbury The Blue Easton Denim Custom Shirt

Cut from 100% Tencel Lenzing with a perfectly faded indigo wash, this denim is soft without losing structure. The fabric itself wicks moisture and drapes smooth, pairing as cleanly with chinos as with five pockets. A semi spread Quint collar stays standing all day thanks to reinforced construction, and double button barrel cuffs let you adjust for a watch. This one reads casual but lands refined.

Ledbury The Light Blue Farwell Gingham Custom Shirt

A 99% cotton, 1% stretch brushed twill from Somelos in Portugal gives this gingham a soft hand that works for any season. The classic pattern sits clean and plain, while the blue shade pairs with dress pants or your go-to denim. Button down collar, double button cuff, and reinforced buttons mean shape holds after wash and wear, and the textured knit keeps skin cool without feeling thin.

Do you need these? Absolutely not.

Do you want them for any travel you're doing, work or otherwise? I’d argue totally.

How to execute the acquisition: justify it as a business expense.

Ghurka Folding Snap Tray No. 58 in Vintage Chestnut Leather

This 6" x 5" tray snaps shut to corral loose change, keys, and jewelry in one leather-lined place. Italian vegetable tanned and tumbled, it sits thick and true. Brass hardware and Ghurka Check cotton lining keep it solid, and the snap design lets you pack flat. Handcrafted in the USA.

Ghurka Utility Case No. 305 in Vintage Black Leather

An 8.5" x 5.5" case with muscle to hold chargers, bricks, and cables without scattering them across your bag. Four interior open pockets plus an interior zip pocket and exterior pocket give structure. Italian vegetable tanned leather, nickel hardware, and US made construction make this a piece that ages better with time.

Watching Italy not qualify for a third straight World Cup by losing on penalties to Bosnia & Herzegovina is already blasphemous.

But to do so at work in a showroom full of Italians who ordered plates of cheese and cold cuts and were projecting the match onto a big screen? That was like watching a mass public flogging…

The last time Italy was in a World Cup, I was a sophomore in high school. It really is time for someone to get fired over there in their national soccer organization.

Forza Italia 😢
