Originators like Peregrine and Barbour paved the road for waxed outerwear back in the 1880s, and modern innovators like Flint and Tinder have carried on the tradition. The first iterations were made from leftover sails that were coated in fish oil, but waxed canvas quickly proved to be superior against the elements (while not smelling like a bucket of chum). Its rugged durability was quickly adopted for military field jackets and hunting coats where utility features like deep flap pockets, warm inner linings, and rear game pockets were essential for performance. Now’s your chance to become a part of this long-storied legacy.

Way back in 1883, a group of alpinists wanted to build the go-to watch for the outdoors—so they founded Alpina. Widely considered one of the earliest progenitors of the Swiss “sports watch” as we know it today, Alpina crafts all their beautifully simple watches in Geneva, Switzerland. They're coveted by mountaineers, divers, and pilots thanks to their anti-shock, anti-magnetic, water-resistant, and wear-resistant builds, and their latest green Alpiner Extreme Automatic is only available in our shop. But we could only get our mitts on 10 of ‘em, so be sure to snag yours before they all head for the hills.
