Our 30 Greatest Model & Gear Finds · Primer


SPRING into new style and gear. (Sorry.)

Don’t let the 30 degree temperatures in much of the US fool you, spring is on its way, and it starts today on Amazon. Their “Big Spring Sale” just went live and runs through March 25, with sitewide discounts on some smart buys if you have the patience to scroll through all of the pages.

Spring style essentials, spring cleaning products (get it?), and home organization are on discount. But unlike other tentpole sale events from the retailer like Prime Day, there are significantly less navigable filter options for wading through the pages of stuff thats irrelevant to you.

Fortunately, I like treasure hunting, so I foraged over 120 sales pages pulling out the good stuff so you don’t have to featuring brands like Levi’s, Gap, UnderArmour, Anker, and Samsung, plus house brands like Amazon Essentials.

Levi’s Lightweight Trucker Shirt Jacket, $57.30 $99.99

A subtle alternative to the standard denim jacket, this beige trucker would make a budget (and available) swap for the one I have from Buck Mason, featured in an outfit here and here.

Levi’s Classic Western Shirt, $28 $69.50

The denim shirt is surprisingly versatile, considering how specific and (western) themed it is. I’m wearing one as I type this, completely unrelated.

Levi’s Men’s 501 Original Fit Jeans, $45.42 $79.50

My new go-to for a couple of years now, I have the Levi’s 501 in 3 colors. They’re not nearly as wide or baggy as they look right out of the box. Give ’em a good wash and wear them in and you’ll love them.

Levi’s Denim Trucker Jacket, $53.70 $89.50

Amazon Essentials Regular-Fit Long-Sleeve Oxford Shirt, $9.50 $23.90
