Capsule Trade Show Highlights: Part II

Rather than cram all of our favorite brands/standout pieces from the Capsule Trade Show this week into one post, we wanted to give some love to other labels who had strong showings.

After making stops at the Super, ROD NYC and Maui & Sons booths, we left impressed. Check out mini-profiles on the three companies and what their key-pieces were after the jump.

Although the silhouette has been around for almost a year, Super continues to re-invent their stunner shades. With a bolder shape than a Wayfarer, the unisex frames are universally flattering. Offering tons of color options at an affordable $130, there’s a pair for everyone. Look out for the wood grain frames in their upcoming collections.

ROD NYC

This is the brand you want to hit up to get your grown man on. Having already been co-signed by Mos Def, the company that was started by Rod Keenan churns out handmade hats that make for instant class. The timeless shapes and hand-woven straws will instantly take you back to 1950’s Cuba-steez. And when it’s cold, look to the fur felts embellished with vintage trims.

Maui & Sons

This classic surf brand has a serious nostalgia factor for all you ’80s babies. Along with the brands aggressive re-launch, they’ve collaborated with Opening Ceremony on tees using vintage logos and graphics that rival anything you loved back in grade school. These will be available by the end of August at Opening Ceremony New York, so start saving your duckets now.
