Happy Easter — with the arrival of the holiday means warmer weather is well on its way. As such, I find it fitting that our much anticipated Spring 50 list drops on the high holiday. In reality it was supposed to go out last week, but we were still in the lab fine tuning it.
But without further ado, I present to you Outpost’s Spring 50 must-have items. In the summer I tend to reach for things that are more utilitarian — pieces to set you up right for long nights by the water with rum in hand, through to the following morning on a bike, in the gym, at a tee time, and everything in between.
Sid Mashburn Ghost Blazer
After close to 10 years my staple blazer gave way — think this will be next up.
Berg & Berg Linen Double-Breasted Blazer
Amazing Nordic company.
Gun Hill Thorpe Nehru Jacket
Retro Ralph did an amazing video on this style of vest recently — need both.
J.Press Classic Oxford
The flap pocket on this classic oxford has me reaching for it often these days.
AYR Linen Shirt
Linen is hard — often times it gets too wrinkled or warped and ends up looking terrible. This one seems to stand up.
J.Crew Barn Jacket
Everyone on the East Coast should own a barn jacket.
Drake’s Welder Jacket
Drake’s doesn’t give it away, but the stuff is too strong not to include.
Naked & Famous Chore Jacket
Recently wore this in a video and got a great deal of interest — here ya go.
Basset & Hound Safari Jacket
This company out of Madrid is up to something.
Yellow Rain Jacket
Just a classic piece — not for every day, but would look great at the right time.
Amundsen Shorts
I historically wrote off shorts until I rocked around Cuba with these last year — will wear all summer this go.
Ten Thousand Running Gear
These are the best workout shorts, full stop — if you buy one thing on this list, it’s this.
MAAP Cycling Jersey
Had to include a bib or two — MAAP’s new stuff is clean.
Sugarloaf Golf Polo
Sugarloaf is a cool, cool golf brand — check out their gear.
Meyer’s Men Gear
If you can’t afford the incredible buggies that McQueen popularized in The Thomas Crown Affair, settle for a hoodie.
Men’s Traveler Pants
Linen bang-around pants.
Sid Mashburn Collar Polos
I feel strongly that most polyester golf shirts look like sh*t — this cotton will stand out in the foursome.
Rag & Bone White Tee
The summer uniform is white tee and jeans — these are my two favorites right now. Rag & Bone more structured, formal for a night in the city; Buck Mason more flowy to toss under a sweater or in the beach bag.
Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Sweater
Berg & Berg Yellow Cardigan
Again, yellow isn’t for every day — but for the right occasion.
J.Press Shaggy Dog Sweater
This is my favorite sweater — after a day on the beach, man oh man.
Naadam
(50% off code in Substack chat for all paid members)
Adam Mar
Small designer out of Montauk — a great deal of my summer attire comes from Adam.
Chukka Men’s Sweater
Have this already in burnt orange — getting it in blue as well.
Rowing Blazers Rugby
Every man should own a rugby or two — traditional go with L.L. Bean, something with some flare check out Rowing.
J.Crew Striped Long Sleeve Tee
Quaker Marine Striped Shirt
I care less about where the striped shirts are from as long as you have one or two.
Rag & Bone Pants
I have had 3 or 4 pairs of these — I wear them more than anything else.
Octobre Trousers
Refined or more relaxed — all of Octobre’s stuff out of Paris is amazing.
Alex Mill Pants
Alex Mill makes more than just that one bag you see everywhere now, believe it or not.
Mill Works Pants
Couple more relaxed pants — love a drawstring in the summer.
AYR “The Normie”
Have eyed these forever — love the color.
Blundstone Aero Cork Boots
Full disclosure — Blundstone sent me a pair of these, but I genuinely do love them. So comfy and much lighter than their traditional.
Moccasins
Bring back moccasins — declaring this the summer of the moc.
Outpost Hat
I only have a few of these left.
J.Crew Chukka Boots
Don’t buy these — I want to be the only person with them.
Hula Sunglasses
I’ve plugged Hula 5x — they are the best sunglasses I’ve ever had and $80. Furthermore, their hometown was just smoked by flooding, so show some love.
Lululemon Underwear
Heat’s coming — protect the boys. These are the comfiest boxers I’ve ever worn.
La Matera Belt
Polo-style belts from Argentina — this green and orange one is perfect.
Decka Quality Socks
Can’t beat the classic Vans — pair it with this sock, man you’ve got a cool, cool look
