BBQ and baseball season is nearly upon us. While you could support the hometown team, we suggest going with something a little more stylish, and a touch more confusing. Rock the Benny Gold Cotton Twill Baseball Jacket in Wrigleyville, home of the Cubs, and we bet that a (potentially Bud Light-drunken) bar patron is going to walk up, stare at that logo, and give you a “huh?” We promise it will be completely worth it.
Pair the stark white jacket, which features navy and red detailing at neckline, wrist and waist, with other equally patriotic goods from the likes of Stussy, Altru Apparel and Native Youth. Next, accessories. We’ve found red shoes that even Dorothy would be jealous of, along with a JBL bluetooth speaker that will keep today’s most obscure indie rock at full blare, all without the hassle of a cord.
