Steve McQueen once said, “I’d rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on Earth.” As we become more dependent on our devices, we in turn strive to disconnect even more. The King of Cool was one of the most unique celebrities of the 20th century in both his perspective on the world and his multifaceted scope of interests. He loved style, the great outdoors, and anything with a combustion engine, among other things. If you’re hoping to channel the spirit of the late, great actor then look no further than Huckberry. The retail curator has plenty of gear deemed worthy of the multipotentialite, and we’ve scoured the company’s website to bring you the best of the best for this month.
Orris La Deesse Detoxifying and Brightening Soap
A good bar of soap is hard to find. If you’re struggling with the options available, try Orris’ La Deesse, a French-made bar that gets its color from manjistha — a plant related to coffee that’s used to treat certain skin disorders — and raw honey. With aromas of Egyptian geranium and camphor essential oils, the soap is gentle on your skin and nourishing thanks to its ancestral cold process curing method.
Huckberry Weekenders Sunglasses
Premium shades don’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Likewise, we shouldn’t have to leave them at home on our next outdoor excursion just because we fear them getting scuffed or scratched. These wallet-friendly Weekenders from Huckberry are the perfect casual pair for any situation — no matter what day it is. Inspired by classic Wayfarers, these sunglasses feature polarized lenses and a snug fit.
Ampal Creative On the Road III Hat
Based in Los Angeles, Ampal Creative is driven by the goal of constructing durable hats echoing the spirit of old-school adventure and life on the highways and byways. With a vintage deep-fit baseball cap aesthetic, this embroidered On the Road model echoes the spirit of Jack Kerouac while embarking on your next road trip. The top is crushable and meant for packing away while the brand’s custom chino twill sweatband features a sweat barrier.
Vans Authentic 44 DX Anaheim Factory
Long before the first Warped Tour in 1996 and before Sean Penn as Spicoli donned a pair of the shoes in 1982’s Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Vans launched in 1966 from a small factory in Anaheim, CA. This new pair of the iconic Authentic sneaker — then called the No. 44 Deck Shoe — puts a modern spin on the original while paying homage to the brand’s roots.
Bellroy Lite Sling
Whether you’re commuting to work or traversing the woods, a crossbody sling bag should be durable, lightweight, and only noticeable when you need it most. Bellroy is no stranger to any of these qualifiers, which is why it’s made one of the best casual slings on the market. The ripstop shell is made of recycled plastic bottles while the 7L capacity is protected by water-resistant zippers.
Flint and Tinder 365 Belt 2.0
Complement your favorite pair of pants with this stylish and versatile belt from Flint and Tinder. Crafted entirely from brass and full-grain bridle leather from Wickett & Craig, the 365 Belt 2.0 is made to hold you up no matter the occasion. Made in the United States, the belt is cut from a single piece of vegetable-tanned leather that develops a patina the more you wear it.
Giver 4 Season Glove w/ Wax Coating
Made for adventure any time of the year, these waxed leather gloves from Giver can get their supreme thermoregulation from their waterproof-breathable Hipora membrane, 40g Thinsulate insulation, and reflective heat shield on the front. To make sure they never stray from your side, there’s also a steel D-ring on the front for attaching to your bag or lanyard.
Helle Knives Nipa Folding Knife
When it comes to knives, you want something made by people with experience. Run by third-generation Norwegian knifemakers, Helle has a history that dates all the way back to 1932. Dubbed the Nipa, this EDC folding knife is made for the outside, with a birch handle that supports four-finger use and a Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade for durability. It weighs just over 4oz to guarantee a sturdy feel in your hand yet a lightweight feel in your pocket.
DMOS Delta Shovel
Billed as the world’s strongest full-size collapsible shovel, the Delta Shovel from DMOS is essential whether you’re staying prepared when venturing off the grid or simply doing some excavating in the woods. Weighing 6lbs and collapsing down to 2ft, the shovel has three modes of use and can take 1,000lbs of payload thanks to its stainless steel construction.
Baracuta G9 Jacket
Understated yet striking, Baracuta’s G9 Harrington has been copied countless times over the years but never duplicated. Made iconic by the likes of James Dean and coveted by the likes of Steve McQueen, the jacket is still manufactured by the British company today in several colorways including yellow, red, and navy blue. A true classic that will never go out of style.
