J.Crew Cashmere Cable Sweater

It’s a quintessential Spring day here in San Francisco – which means that it is pretty much fog soup, windy and a steady fifty-five degrees. Definite sweater weather. But that could all change in a matter of seconds and the sun could be shining brightly and temperature rapidly rising to seventy. Which means that dressing in layers is an absolute necessary part of living here year-round. Today I grabbed the dog for a drive down the coast. It was cold and grey driving south on the SF portion of PCH, but as soon as I rounded the hills in Pacifica the sun shone through and the temperature gauge on my dash rapidly rose to 72. I opened the sunroof, put on my shades and shed my fleece cardigan.

Which is why this J.Crew cable sweater is the perfect answer to all your Bay Area sartorial needs. A chic not too warm layer that comes in the best colors for Spring / Summer. I want one in every color.

An absolute classic, our cashmere cable sweater has an unrivaled ability to be dressed up or worn quite casually (try it with a pair of beaten-up jeans)—either way, it’s going to make you look good. Made from supersoft, luxurious Italian cashmere in a 7-gauge knit from a world-famous mill.

Allyn Scura Clear Sunglasses

I’ve been obsessed with clear sunglasses for the last week or so. They are o chic and classic. And so very now. There are several good pair on the market, but these vintage inspired shades from Allyn Scura are just the right shape.

Hand-cut and -finished glasses from California. The attention to detail on these is incredible — the turnaround time averages two years. We think they’re the perfect size and shape. Indescribably cool.

Golden Bear Farallon Shawl Collar Pea Coat

Made exclusively for Unionmade, this is perhaps my favorite coat that’s come from their collaboration with Golden Bear yet. This iconic pea coat has retained its heritage detailing and been updated with a strong shawl collar. I’ve tried it on twice, but have yet to pull the trigger as my coat closet is already overflowing and I don’t “need” it. But the fit is perfection and the detailing incredible. A total must have if you have room for it.

Started in 1922 on the waterfronts of San Francisco, Golden Bear create tough, durable leather jackets for longshoremen, who carried cargo, literally, on their backs. Golden Bear gained fame during World War II, when pilots of the Flying Tigers, The P-38′s, Hellcats and the Flying Fortresses, wore their jackets. Sixty years later, they remain stylish and practical. A family-owned enterprise, Golden Bear is one of the few companies that virtually manufacture almost everything by hand.

ACNE Bleeker Hbone Derby Shoes

I’ve been in a very New York state of mind lately (actually a very 90′s influenced New York), and obsessed with all things black, slim and simple. These ACNE derby shoes definitely fit that vibe. The wooden soles add just enough detail to make them fun and modern, but the simplicity of the upper conjure up all things classically New York.

Master a sophisticated urban look in these Acne leather Derby shoes. The chunky wooden soles and rounded toe caps complement the high-shine finish to create a rakish appeal. Worn with slim-fit tailored black trousers, they bring street-ready attitude to a pared-back ensemble.
