At clothing company Paul & Shark, there is exclusive interest in making superior quality pieces. It's an Italian thing—like the obsessesion about perfecting Lamborghinis, Alfa Romeos, Maseratis, and Ferraris. When that intent is applied to the clothes, it results in sportswear and leisurewear that not only looks good while meandering along the boardwalk, but also performs well when, say, having the time of your life on a boat that's riding the temperamental waves of the sea.
Consider two of the Italian label's innovations. In order to resist the perils of wind and water, the SharkHub Sailor jacket is made of with an interesting dyed and paint-coated cotton sailing canvas. Notably, the treatment produces a slick and crispy finish that looks even more slick and crispy when done in traffic-sign red or bright blue.
Typhoon, another exclusive treatment, takes water- and wind-proofing to another level as jacket infused with tech will be able to withstand the assault of a 20-meter column of water. In other words, thanks to a impenetrable (but soft) membrane, you will stay dry.
These clothes are built for a jump-into-the-open-ocean kind of adventure, but they will also serve you well for a tamer sipping-on-a-fruit-shake kind of leisure. Though highly influenced by ye olde activity of yachting as well as infused with technical details, the spring/ summer 2018 collection remains young and modern.
Primary colors, a whole lot of nautical stripes, and a '90s rendition of the shark logo in swim shorts, pullovers, jackets, and more is for both the dad who owns the yacht and the son who take it for a spin without telling him.
Best of all, these for-vacation clothes will come in handy not only now, during the death-heat of summer, but in the midst of the stormy weather that's to come.
