Mister Crew

There have been a couple of different versions of the pathfinder jacket over the years, but last year’s has been the most versatile for me – made from a very light cotton/nylon poplin fabric, it’s been perfect for warm weather and has also been a great travel jacket due to how easy it is to pack it into small spaces.  I’ve been hunting around for another one in navy, but I’m guessing that there were probably only a few made for North American stores.

The Engineered Garments tote bags from S/S2008 have been reintroduced into the Workaday line (along with the overnighter bag). I have both from last year, and they’ve been excellent as far as bags go – the canvas is fairly sturdy, the shoulder strap is sometimes useful, and the hardware is about as good as you can get.
