Products of the Week: Scout Bags, Olive Oil and a Dickies Collab

Three things are certainties in this life: death, taxes and PacNorthWest talismans Filson making impossibly solid, totally waterproof gear. Such is the case with their latest luggage. According to the brand, the Scout Bag Collection is explicitly designed for “travelers who require exceptional water resistance and dependability,” and while we would normally make fun of a tagline like that, the recycled, TPU-treated ripstop poly fabric is the real deal, and that was before it was reinforced by a matte oxford. Choose your player — a Backpack ($175) Tote Bag ($175) and Scout 50L Duffle ($150) are all up for grabs — and never be worried about a soggy pack again.

Look ma, no hands! Or in this case… both hands? We’ve covered many-a Smithey drops before and this one is no less exciting. The latest skillet is a variation on their OG Traditional No. 12 skillet designed to make the transition from stove-top to table even easier with two handles. As we know, it comes with a lifetime warranty, is made without any kind of chemical coating and is US-made so you can feel good about forking over north of $200 for a single skillet.

Like your Adidas but probably better. We love a sneaker brand that delivers both quality and variety, and Gola does just that. Their new anniversary collection, celebrating 120 years of shoemaking, drops on March 24th but you can pre-order your shoes now. The collection features their classic Elan sneakers in suede and leather and an anniversary messenger bag if you want to go the extra shopping mile.

So Harley wants to get down with the cool kids? Ok, we’re here for it. The collab combines skater and moto energy to create something Role Model would probably wear. It’s full of co-branded graphics on top of some of Dickies most iconic staples like carpenter pants and Eisenhower jackets.

There are a few things you should be ok with splurging on in this world — and in the realm of the kitchen they include butter and olive oil. Good quality product means better food, full stop. As we usher in the season of fresh produce, it’s imperative to have something to accompany that. Well, thank you Flamingo Estate. They do most things impressively well — we are particularly excited about their new olive oil. Made with oil from artichoke garlic this new blend combines complex flavors in the best way.
