1. I was recently introduced to Outlier, a brooklyn based brand. What you think? Would you place these pants parallel with Epaulet? What about the minimal backback, would u standby GQ's quote, "Sickest bag in the game" - A Bearded Bro.

    After speaking with Abe and Roy from Outlier at (capsule) yesterday, and seeing the full collection, I gotta say these are some passionate dudes that make a really, really dope product.  That being said, my allegiance to Epaulet trousers is unwavering, so you will not see me jump ship there; however, I would definitely rock a pair of Outliers.  No question.

    As per their Dyneema non-woven backpack, “The Minimalist,” if you are the outdoors type, cop one.  For real—that thing is insane.  Ten times strong than steel?  Bear Grylls would shit himself if he got his hands on one of those bad boys. 

    Edit: Check out Marisa’s comment (TheSigOther)—based, self-promoting, but definitely 100% accurate.
