This is the Want List, a semi-frequent rundown of stylish new clothing, accessories, and gear our editors are feeling for one reason or another—and, for lack of a better word, want.
Today's edition includes summery attire and a handsome watch, plus an important flask and some new liquor to put in it.
Herewith: six essential items to improve your summer.
What it is: We're not sure why it took Yeti so long to launch its first flask, we're just glad they did. The seven-ounce flask is stainless steel and made in a variety of colors, and it comes with a funnel so you can easily transfer your favorite booze.
Why we want it: This handsome flask is a lot easier to smuggle into concerts and baby showers than a rolling cooler full of beers.
What it is: The latest entrant to Aberfeldy's Exceptional Casks Series is this limited-edition 15-year-old scotch that's finished in French Semillon Cadillac white wine casks. It sports notes of fruits and florals, including ripe peaches and orange peel, plus creamy toffee.
Why we want it: That new flask isn't going to fill itself. The combined duo of flask and scotch also makes a fine gift, in case you still need something for dad.
What it is: DUER's new weightless poplin pants are made to keep you cool in warm weather. The quick-dry fabric moves with you, and unlike linen pants which work well for beach weddings and not much else, these are versatile numbers you can wear anywhere.
Why we want it: If you absolutely have to wear pants this summer, let it be these. They're light and breezy, so you can attend that backyard barbecue or rooftop party without melting.
What it is: G-Shock is known for making tough watches, but tough watches don't need to skimp on style. The new MR-GB2100B features a full-metal exterior, hand finishes and a dial inspired by kigumi, the art of traditional Japanese interlocking woodwork.
Why we want it: Form, function, a 27-component bezel made with super-hard alloys that can take a knock... this watch has it all.
What it is: Abercrombie & Fitch teamed up with Random Golf Club for a new collection of good-looking golf apparel. Choose from performance shorts and polos, three-button sweater polos, graphic tees, hats and more.
Why we want it: These items might not help our golf game, but they will guarantee high-fives and nods of approval, from the first tee to the 19th hole.
What it is: Orlebar Brown makes some of the best swim trunks in the game, and its new collaboration with La DoubleJ only proves that point. It's full of fun, vibrant, summery patterns across trunks, shirts and relaxed pants.
Why we want it: The collection is perfect for bringing the Mediterranean coast to your backyard pool or the beach, no matter where that beach may be.
