Welcome back to What to buy this week, or WTBTW for short. Your weekly recommendations letter on everything that dropped this week.
In today’s letter we’re getting World Cup ready with an upcoming Palace + Nike collaboration that’s dedicated to Team England, footwear for your upcoming vacation by the ocean, pants that might be perfect for that last minute wedding you forgot to prepare for, bags that convert into belts, and stuff in between as usual.
PALACE + NIKE ENGLAND
Although the Palace and Nike relationship is pretty recent, they’ve already set the bar extremely high.
For their new collaboration the two came together on an exclusive Team England capsule with jerseys, outerwear, footwear, and more. The campaign features legends Wayne Rooney and Jill Scott, which takes you through a journey of English football fandom, and what it means to be passionate about the game and your team.
Full collection is dropping on the Palace website on June 12th, and June 16th on the Nike website.
Speaking of the World Cup, there are a lot of jerseys starting to pop up as we head towards. Human by Nature just dropped their World Cup jerseys collection, featuring kits for Ghana, Japan, Kenya, England, USA, Poland, and more.
This hand-stitched Japan jersey from Sashiko Gals is one of one, but it’s awesome and you should check it out anyway.
BAGGIES FOR THE SUMMER
We have a three pack of Japanese nylon poplin shorts coming from the good folks at Manresa this Friday. Designed for your next adventure, with water repellent fabric that makes these perfect to have by the water, and they come in a baggy fit so you don’t even feel like they’re on you.
Dropping on the Manresa website this Friday, June 12th.
3 FROM KNICKERBOCKER
It’s summer and we’re all looking for a pair of breathable pants that can be worn casually, or to that more serious event in your life — maybe you have a wedding you’ve been putting off getting ready for. Either way, you should check out these linen and cotton twill blend pants from Knickerbocker.
There’s also a pair of these straight leg denim that comes in this nice washed fade that just feels good when you look at it — you know when you just see something online and know it’s just going to look good on you? That’s what I’m feeling here.
I would take this opportunity to browse what Knickerbocker is offering for the summer right now. I sort of forgot about them until recently, but there’s definitely a lot of good summer-ready clothes that could be great for all of my menswear enthusiasts out there.
