Last year while searching for eco-friendly men’s clothing to wear on my television show, I fortuitously stumbled into Topo Ranch’s storefront on Abbot Kinney BLVD in Venice, CA. At the time, I was trying to cultivate a fashion look for the show that we had dubbed “Urbiana Jones.” You know what I mean, Urbiana Jones is the urban adventurer, the fashion-forward (but not too far forward) man who always keeps his passport on him – just in case. The man who goes nowhere without his ultra-portable laptop. The man who admires other men who carry fishing rods and possibly hunting rifles instead of ultra-portable laptops, but knows deep inside that that will likely never be him. The man who looks comfortable heading off into the forest on a five-day camping trip to hike mountains and bathe in rivers but truly prefers to spend five days at a hip, boutique hotel kicking it poolside on the hotel’s roof.
That man is Urbiana Jones. And finding Urbiana Jones fashion in eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton is no easy task. Enter Topo Ranch, a company that at its core is precisely about proving that you can simultaneously look good and respect the planet at a respectable price point.
Here are my three favorite Topo Ranch shirts for the fall that I’m sporting around town. All three are made of 100% organic cotton. The fit is more refined and tailored than previous versions and the hand is outstanding.
Nolero Shirt (100% Organic Cotton) – $68
Late Night Weave Shirt (100% Organic Cotton) – $68
Boulder Shirt (100% Organic Cotton) – $68
