Congrats to SF-based Bob Cut Mag founder Anthony Rogers on his new venture, And Our. Launched this week, the "anywear" unigender and size-inclusive line features 18 pieces. The opposite of fast fashion, the debut collection's nine tops and nine bottoms are all crafted from deadstock fabric and made ethically in China, adhering to strict manufacturing codes of conduct. The styles include everything from a ruffles-gone-mad tube top to garment-worker-inspired skirt slacks.
Nonbinary artist/entrepreneur Rogers wasn't sure what, if anything, would come after winning a scholarship to—and graduating from—the Business Class by Sophia Amoruso. Needless to say, he's beyond thrilled with the result. "Being able to express my humanity through garments is empowering as a nonbinary person. I started this label to give people tools for expression through gender-undefined clothing. 'Anywear' is meant for those who want megaphones for dressing in what showcases them best, in whatever gender they assume," Rogers explains.
// Most pieces fall in the $80 to $140 range; shop online at andourlabel.com.

We can't think of a better way to kick off the official start to American summer than with a collaboration between American Giant and Samuel Adams. It includes a limited-release lager made with domestically sourced hops and a limited-edition USA-made apparel collection. Sure, gathering with friends and family is always worthy of celebration, but it's truer than ever in 2021 (talk to the hand, Covid). With innovation and creativity core to both brands, it's not surprising that AG and SA got together—bringing us the perfect brew, tee, and classic hoodies.
"American Giant and Samuel Adams are all about two things: quality and values—simple as that. Using the highest quality ingredients is of the utmost importance, whether for a classic sweatshirt that can be passed down for generations or a carefully crafted beer. We're proud to work with Samuel Adams, a company that shares our commitment to quality and craft," says Bayard Winthrop, CEO/founder of American Giant.
The beer and apparel are available at American Giant shops and Sam Adams taprooms. The tee is $38 and the hoodie is $118; American Crafted lager is $16 for a four-pack of 16-oz. cans.
// Shop locally at American Giant, 1801 Fourth St. (Berkeley) and 2076 Chestnut St. and 165 Natoma St. in SF, and online at american-giant.com and samueladams.com.
