There was a time, nearly 20 years ago, when Dickies were the only pants in our arsenal. All we needed was their full workwear rainbow—khaki, blue, grey, brown and black (for weddings)—and a narrow but functional wardrobe was complete. Thankfully our horizons have broadened significantly. Still, these chinos, a collab with Silas, find us nurturing a little nugget of nostalgia.

The seat of these things is a little logo-heavy for our tastes, but Silas was formed around the British skateboarding scene in the late ’90s, and skate gear has always leaned toward that sort of branding. Overriding our one complaint: that little leather-trimmed pocket on the leg and the fancy stripes on the waistband are both aces. Pick up a pair online.

No fading a strong messenger bag, and this plumper from Lanvin has extra roominess working for it. That and a fanciful and pleasantly busy geometric print that traffics in forces EMT and vaguely Navaho. Lots of pockets on this one and, as mentioned, lots of space for all that stuff you are always carrying around. A detachable shoulder strap puts it securely on you when you are sprinting down alleyways, scrambling up fire-escapes and leaping between rooftops. LN-CC has it.

A young kids, we mistakenly held the belief that Umbro gear was only available to those playing competitive level soccer, so when a friend handed down a pair of their iconic blue shorts, we were far more grateful than necessary. Still, they were magnificent things, and we are definitely seeing shades of said magnificence in the venerable brand’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection for Harlem FC, a community organization that seeks to make a positive impact on the lives of youngsters with “the world’s game”as a guide.

“Umbro’s celebrated tailoring principles have produced a range that will look great on the new generation of players and supporters coming into the club,” we are told. “A percentage of all sales generated will directly benefit F.C. Harlem in support of its various soccer programs.” Available online, even to those who do not play competitively.
