We won’t be wearing these any time soon (too damn hot). Regardless, we thought we’d let you know that Beams worked with Rocky Mountain Featherbed on a special edition 35th Anniversary Down Vest. In addition to the traditional leather yoke finish, nylon outer and premium down fill, the Beams version features an orange zip pocket and a commemorative Rocky Mountain Featherbed for Beams tag. Pre-order through zozo for next winter.

After just announcing their partnership with Japanese brand Visvim for a line called Moncler V, the classic outerwear label now brings news of a collection by Grammy-winning musician Pharrell Williams. The collection features an assortment of all-black jackets, and includes a “pacifist” version of the bulletproof jacket (pictured) with Velcro-ed side slits, reversible matte/shiny down vests and elongated puffers.

Each jacket is built with textiles from Bionic Yarn, a Pharrell controlled company that produces fabric from recycled plastic bottles. Furthermore, printed linings feature images of lush forests, shot at dusk by Japanese artist Keita Sugiura. Prices and distribution details are yet to be finalized.
