Essentials: Weekender
The crisp, favorable weather of fall makes it as good of a time as any to escape your home for the weekend and head to a nearby (or not-so-nearby) cabin, an out of town football game, or any other destination for a couple of days. Plan ahead for your next trip by stocking up on the appropriate gear. From a Weekender watch to a weekend-approved weekender bag and a fall-ready pullover, these essentials are ready for a weekend not spent at home.
Flint and Tinder 10-Year Quarter Zip Sweatshirt
The 10-Year Quarter Zip embodies American craftsmanship, being touched by over 20 American artisans before you receive it. Featuring a sturdy 12 oz fleece from South Carolina, a resilient zipper from Georgia, and twill tape from Philadelphia, all components are skillfully assembled and laundered in Los Angeles. This standout quarter zip sweatshirt sets a high standard, promising to soften with each wear.

Steel & Borough Weekender Bag
For every weekend trip that requires a luxurious getaway bag, there are certain excursions where you’ve got to get in and get out without all the fuss. For all those trips, the Steel & Borough Weekender Bag is the right way to go, featuring a slick navy colorway and water-resistant construction.
The brand spent seven years perfecting it, testing and reworking points of failure (the zippers, handles, and materials) that resulted in a bag we’d expect to stand up to a decade’s worth of weekend trips, and then some.
