Products of the Week: Tequila, Button-Downs and Pour-Overs

New from indie design darlings Cowgirl, the Paradise Valley Shirt was designed in collaboration with multi-disciplinarian Benjamin Edgar, and, in classic BE style, is both totally wild and completely tame. A self-described “exercise in contrast,” the 100% Oxford softly washed cotton has a slightly shortened hem and “cowgirl” embroidery that totally rules. Cop before it’s gone forever.

This is still the classic 1942 expression of Don Julio (produced in small batches and aged for a minimum of two and a half years) but now outfitted in special packaging as an ode to Lunar New Year. Honoring the Year of the Snake, the custom illustration here merges the Chinese Zodiac snake and the Aztec feathered serpent, while the bottle itself features red and gold accents (supposedly, an ode to good fortune and prosperity).  

Was a collaboration between technical work apparel Ten Thousand and Pac-Northwest legends Filson on our 2025 bingo card? Nope. Are we weirdly into it? Abso-fuckin-lutely. The three-piece capsule — dripped out in a shocking tasteful “Buckthorn Brown” — includes highly technical, cold-weather-appropriate workout apparel tested for literal world-class athletes, and is generally worth every penny of the investment.

This pour-over from Yeti is, admittedly, a little extra. It’s like the glamping of backcountry coffee. Why would anyone want to pack this little brewer, a mug, filters, a kettle (preferably a gooseneck) and coffee grounds (preferably whole beans that are freshly ground onsite to the perfect size for a pour-over), when they could just bring instant coffee? Because if you’re going to go through the hassle of finding peace and quiet in the middle of nature, you might as well pair that solace with the best cup of coffee possible. And apparently a lot of people feel that way, because this was a limited-edition release that’s now been added to Yeti’s permanent lineup.

So, we all remember the jegging, but in a strange turn of events, sweatpant jeans have entered the market. And let’s be honest — if these didn’t have sweatpant in the name, would you have known they weren’t jeans? No, you wouldn’t have. They miraculously have the same cut and fall of baggy heavyweight jeans with the cozy feel of sweats. Sounds like the best of both worlds to us.
