Each week, our inbox runneth over with news of gear, apparel and tech releases from around the world. In this feature, we’ll parse through the best of it.

Included in Huckberry’s Chief Brand Officers email on what he’ll be wearing in 2025, the Aether Eco Down Jacket combines eco-consciousness and quality to make a pretty awesome product. It’s constructed entirely out of recycled polyester ripstop fabric from Japan and is lightweight and easy to take with you on the go. It’s a good option for layering on colder winter days or throwing on once the weather starts to thaw out…in a few months or so.

They finally did it. We’ve been waiting on household boot brand Blundstone to drop a clog. The clog shoe has been making a resurgence throughout this past year and is sure to carry into 2025. If every other Blundstone boot withstands the test of time, these are bound to be no exception. Fashioned out of the same water-resistant leather — we’re already huge fans.
