A Few of Our Favorite New Things!

Spring is an exciting season in our stores! Lots of new items are arriving in every department. As many of you who have been in our stores know, there is so much to see that sometimes it can be a challenge to spot the new items. Here are a few of our buyers’ favorites that you’ll now find in our stores and online.

Sunday Afternoons Kids’ Play Hat

Here in Texas where the sun is powerful for most of the year, we start protecting our kids early. This Sunday Afternoons Kids’ Play Hat is breathable, adjustable, waterproof, and has an UPF 50+ rating. The neck veil protects that tender skin on the back of the neck, and if the hat should fall into the water, it floats! The Play Hat also packs flat for travel. It’s available in sizes for kids from six months to 12 years.

OluKai Men's Tuahine Sandals

OluKai’s Tuahine (two-wah-he-neh) sandals are their latest offering from the islands of aloha living. As you might expect, the Tuahine is made of quality leather with a nice touch of decorative stitching on the strap, and the 'Wet Grip Rubber' outsole has a breeze block lug design for added traction. These sandals are made for walking: on the beach, exploring new places or for wearing every day.

Greenbox Art Corn Muffins Tea Towel

We have a thing for tea towels. They add a burst of color in the kitchen and can even be used as a giftwrap that keeps on giving. We love Austin artist Eli Halpin’s Texas inspired art including this Corn Muffins Tea Towel.  The Longhorn, Ostrich, Goat, Pig, Rooster and Cat can’t wait to party after their group portrait. And, coming soon, we’ll also have a Corn Muffins 1,000 piece puzzle in our collection.

Howler Brothers Men's Gaucho Snapshirt – Toucan

How many Howler Brothers Gaucho Snapshirts do you have? This year’s offerings include a beautifully embroidered Tarantula and a Toucan. These classic pearl snapshirts are made of a quick-drying cotton blend with technical features like a cooling mesh-lined back yoke that make them a favorite for all sorts of occasions. Please don’t wait! These shirts are very popular with collectors and those who like to stand out in a crowd.

Darn Tough Women's Her Spur Boot Socks - Light Cushion

If you have hiking or backpacking trips planned, consider wearing Darn Tough Socks on the trail. They live up to their name as well as being comfortable. The Her Spur Boot Socks have a light cushion at the heel, sole and toes and a performance fit that keeps socks in place to prevent blisters. The nylon and Merino wool blend wicks moisture away from your feet to help keep them dry, and they look good!

Kelty Campground Kit

The Kelty Campground Kit includes a sleeping bag, sleeping pad and a stuff sack to hold them both. It’s an easy first step for beginning car camping or for kids slumber parties. The rectangular sleeping bag is temperature rated to 40 degrees, can be unzipped and used as a cover or zipped together with another bag to create a doublewide sleeping bag. The sleeping pad is self-inflating, so no huffing and puffing required!

These are just a very few of the items chosen by our buyers for this year’s spring and summer season. They review an astonishing number of products from a large number of vendors, looking for items that combine quality, practicality and innovation, and when possible an element of fun. Come see what they’ve found for Spring 2021!
