"We don't fight nearly as much as I thought we would!" Buffy Reid, designer and co-owner of &Daughter, told us of working with her dad, Columba. Which is good, because this father-and-daughter duo definitely keeps it in the family, melding the former's career in knitwear production and the latter's fashion industry know-how to create a line of exquisite sweaters inspired by Granny's hand knits. "We look at traditional pieces, like an Aran or Guernsey knit, and then think about how to give them a modern sensibility." That commitment to establishing and nurturing connections—to the purest Scottish mill water or versatile yet lasting style grounded in a legacy of quality over quantity—is a big part of what sets the brand apart. Or as Reid puts it: "Perfect and useful are always linked."

Known far and wide as the leader in serious performance gear, Vancouver, BC-based Arc'teryx can add superior fit, minimalist design and loads of cool new technologies to their long list of noteworthy trademarks. But if you're going to zip into one of their impeccably assembled designs, it should definitely be the his-and-hers Beta jackets we're carrying in our latest Pop-In Shop! So get ready to geek out over the out-of-this-world Beta—boasting helmet-accommodating StormHoods™, breathable GORE-TEX®, an ergonomic three-dimensional fit and water-tight zippers—now with 100% more custom-designed Pop-In logos! 

You’re perched on a window bench seat reveling in your sustainably sourced and designed skivvies, the Baltic breeze and the steam of your morning coffee wafting around you like a heady bath as early light pours over the Copenhagen street below. With simply sensuous pieces from Base Range, a line conceived by Danish designer Marie-Louise Mogensen, this could be your life. Well, maybe minus the Copenhagen part.

Deep roots of tradition and reverence are woven into every strand of BasShu, where time-honored legacies join forces to reveal beautifully crafted chambray and denim housewares, warped and wefted in the unique Banshu weave. Originally intended for kimonos, Banshu-ori cloth has been a source of both industry clout and artisan pride in the Hyogo prefecture of Japan since the 1800s, famed for its silky finish and vivid, predyed threads.

Engineered by chemist Peter J. Schlumbohm, PhD, in 1941, these ridiculously good-looking, laboratory-grade glass coffeemakers have traveled extensively as part of global design tours, and are currently on permanent display at a few little hole-in-the-wall spots you may have heard of like NYC's Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian and the Philadelphia Museum. So of course their next stop is our Pop-In Shop! No big deal.

Functional Dickies workwear meets minimalist, monochromatic uniforms in the Construct collection, for which Design Director Matthew Gorton and team "took a long look at what Dickies had been offering for the last 100 years to try and figure out how to apply that inspiration to a totally separate collection." Armed with Dickies-owned Pantone colors and his favorite idea-sparking movies playing in the background, Gorton drove an aesthetic that's at once new yet familiar, akin to meeting the young, hip kid of an old friend. Or like something that, as Gorton told us, "Mike Tyson or Captain Willard from Apocalypse Now" would wear.

“There’s a certain quietness that comes with fewer options," says Land of Women founder Mckenzie Raley. And she’s right. These monochromatic, minimalist pieces are your new second-skin uniforms—easy yet complementary, comfortable yet sexy. They’re made like the women who inspired them and the women who will wear them: purposefully, beautifully and in textiles with muscle. So get ready to bid a not-so-fond farewell to underwires and unrealistic expectations, because "feeling completely relaxed, both aesthetically and functionally, is the best possible feeling."

HOW TO SPELL CAMERA

From Che Guevara's headshot to Henri Cartier-Bresson's discreet yet decisive moments, the most indelible stories ever told have been made by Leica cameras. This multigenerational It brand is synonymous with the first-ever 35mm still-image camera, innovative engineering and some of the most hotly sought-after collector's items—and it just celebrated its 100th birthday last year. It's no wonder Cartier-Bresson once mused that "shooting with a Leica is like a long tender kiss, like firing an automatic pistol, like an hour on the analyst's couch." How's that for an incomparable legacy?

HOW TO EAT A PICKLE

Get a jar of McClure's Pickles (or all of them; we don't judge). Indulge in the satisfying pop as you twist off the cap. Swish the jar a bit, find the right pickle, then take a bite. Savor the briny goodness and locally sourced, farm-fresh produce. Silently thank brothers McClure and Great-Grandmother Lala for improving your day tenfold. 

Drew Barrymore, Lisa Bonet, Corey Haim, Winona Ryder—formative icons of Gen X and the names scrawled across your grade-school binders, yes, but they're also the latest faces to grace these limited-edition tees. From critically acclaimed artist Silvia Prada and ONETSHIRT comes a capsule collection of good shirts made infinitely better with finely drawn portraits, a little retro geometry and loony onomatopoeia that highlight Prada's fascination with unwieldy identity and all things pop culture. Premium fabrics, modern cuts, throwback jams.

Home to self-professed letterpress junkies, this specialty print and design shop lives below Seattle's famed Pike Place Market, and along with their recently opened second location, helps keep one of the oldest print forms alive and kicking. The studio is all about creating custom pieces with heart using antique, built-to-last machinery and environmentally friendly tools of the trade, making their beautifully handcrafted cards as easy on the earth as they are on the eyes.

So you want to be a sky jockey, do you? First things first: Snap up a pair of handcrafted, ultra-durable aviators, responsibly manufactured in the good ole US of A since 1972. After supplying the U.S. Air Force demand, Randolph took on the commercial market in the late '80s—and good thing they did, because now you can soak in just the right amount of visible light (12%-18% to be sort of exact) from behind an iconic pair of scratch-resistant, fighter-pilot-worthy sunglasses.

Schott flight jackets and Felix the Cat have a lot in common—from being born in the early 1900s to becoming national symbols of protection during WWII—so it's no surprise these supple leather James Dean favorites now come with an extra lucky charm. Get ready to zip into your very own piece of Pop-In-exclusive, real-deal Americana, complete with a hand-painted Felix who's literally got your back no matter how bumpy the ride.

Let's be real, change isn't always a good thing. Which is why we're so jazzed to be carrying some of Steele's finest bags and carts! From a little Hamilton Street canvas shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, back in 1921 to a purveyor of all sorts of useful delights—like custom balloon baskets for giant Thanksgiving Day parades and everyday carry trucks—Steele has always been a dependable go-to for crazy-strong, industrial-chic wares. In fact, each logo is still applied by hand, every piece is made to order and the brand remains family owned and operated to this day. So be sure to snap 'em up while you can, because you have places to go and things to carry—and there's still no better way than the Steele way.

All too often, designers and avid outdoorsmen Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen found themselves commiserating over the lack of functional yet good-looking adventure gear—the kind of bags that would blend in seamlessly in the wild and teeny urban coffee shops alike. So they took it upon themselves to fill the niche, and the results? Extremely useful and aesthetically pleasing clothes and accessories with a simple, retro bent—all designed and made in a LEED-certified building in the heart of Colorado. Every design choice, from the trademark leather diamonds serving as strap feeds to the bright-yellow lining that conveniently makes it easier to find all your stuff, is thoughtfully calibrated to look good while doing good. So good, in fact, that Topo regularly collaborates with other cooler-than-thou brands like Breckenridge Brewery (because beer), Stussy, Kid Robot and—of course—Woolrich (great minds, Topo, great minds).

KEEPING AMERICA WARM AS TOAST SINCE 1830

Cozy blankets made from archival fabrics and custom-paired threading—all hand-selected by Olivia Kim herself? Yes, always yes. Peek inside the oldest continuously operating woolen mill in the U.S. and see what sets this heritage brand apart from the rest.
