What's New for August '22?

At Whole Earth we're receiving new items in our stores all year round. Here are a few that we think you may like for August. There are many items in our stores that have not yet arrived online. If you live near one of our brick and mortar stores, please stop by and see what's new!

Dovetail Workwear Women's Freshley Overalls

If you like overalls, we have something new from Dovetail, maker of work clothing for women. Dovetail Workwear Women's Freshley Overalls now come in Indigo Denim Stripe! These overalls harken back to railroad striped denim with all the modern upgrades you'd expect from Dovetail. Made of a lightweight stretch denim for easy movement and comfort, there are thirteen pockets to stash whatever you may need to keep close at hand, plus a gusset and reinforced knees with a slot for pads.

Patagonia Women's Stand Up Overalls

If you like overalls, but are looking for something cooler for summer fun, consider the Patagonia Women's Stand Up Overalls. They're shorts length with a five inch inseam and made of 100% organic cotton canvas material. These overalls will be around for years of fun and adventure! And there are lots of pockets. The bib has a patch chest pocket with two drop in spaces and a secure zipper section. You'll also find deep front pockets and half-moon back pockets. The straps are adjustable, and it's easy to put on and take off.

Patagonia Fjord Flannel Long Sleeve Shirt

While it might seem early to be thinking about flannel shirts, we take it as a sign that cooler days really are coming. When we spotted the Patagonia Men's Cotton in Conversion Fjord Flannel Long Sleeve Shirt in the store, it made us think of crisp mornings and moonlit campfires, despite the 100+ degree temperatures outside. So what is Cotton in Conversion? It's the name for Patagonia's double-sided brushed lightweight cotton flannel, as soft on the inside as it is on the outside. With its shirttail hem, button down collar and buttoned pocket flap, it's a classic flannel for casual work, outdoor fun and cozy comfort at home.

Patagonia Women's Midweight Fjord Flannel Shirt

When we spotted the Patagonia Women's Long-Sleeved Midweight Fjord Flannel Shirt in the store, we were reminded that almost everyone loves the comfort of a flannel shirt. The midweight Fjord is made for cooler weather and will keep you toasty on a breezy day or in a cold house if you're just not ready to turn the heat on yet. With its shirttail hem, button down collar and buttoned pocket flaps, it's a classic flannel for all sorts of occasions.

Birkenstock Women's Gizeh Braid Sandals

Here's a favorite Birkenstock sandal with a new look.  Birkenstock Gizeh sandals have been a summer go-to for women who like a clean minimalist look. This classic thong sandal now has a braided strap for even more style points. Wear them for everyday or for a special summer occasion. The Birkenstock Women's Gizeh Braid Sandals have the same supportive suede lined cork footbed with an EVA outsole you know so well.

PlaySTEAM Plant Maze Botany Set

If you've been watching Sir Richard Attenborough's The Green Planet, you know that plants are capable of many surprising moves. And now your kids can watch plants solve a maze in search of light at home. You provide the soil and seeds and the PlaySTEAM Plant Maze Botany Set provides the rest, including the greenhouse, maze panels, tools, a booklet on introductory botany and six experiments. While it's not nearly as dramatic as the giant waterlily bud clearing space for a lily pad, it is an opportunity to watch a plant solve a problem.

Waboba Backnine Nomadic Disc Golf Game

Looking for a new backyard game that you can take to the park or beach and is fun for the family or the gang? The Waboba Backnine Nomadic Disc Golf Game combines Bocce and Disc Golf. The long distance target ring can fly over 200 feet. Then each player drives toward the target with their Wingman discs aiming to land the disc in the target ring. You can keep score with the scorecard or use the QR code and keep a digital record of the game. It comes with a carrying bag for easy transport and storage. Alternatively, take it to work and play during break time and get your body moving!
