| | 03/31/14 Base Camp How to Properly Welcome Baseball Season The crack of the bat. The silky aroma of pine tar. The sudden urge to wear a baseball jacket even if you’re not a player of baseball. Yep, it’s officially opening day—and unless you already own a fingerless mitt from the 1880s, you’re unprepared. Let’s get that taken care of, shall we... | | | | | FOR A BETTER-LOOKING EARLY SEASON | The Baseball Jacket’s Dapper Evolution | | If you’re going to a Tigers game in April or a midnight bonfire in... Wyoming, you’ll want to wear a jacket. Hey, this cotton twill baseball one with leather pockets and a chambray lining should do. Maybe skip it if you’re a Diamondbacks fan. | | | 411: | Golden Bear Collar Shawl Baseball Jacket, order here | | | | | | | | FOR AVOIDING BLINDNESS AND SUNBURNS | An Unnecessarily Good-Looking Ball Cap | | This hat is made of Japanese selvage denim and indigo chambray, and was inspired by old-school baseball and Navy pilots’ caps. So, yes, that means it’s a far more dashing way of avoiding UV rays than your usual hat. Not to mention the opposing right fielder’s hat. | | | | | | | | FOR ICE-COLD BEER HERE | This App Summons Beer to Your Seat | | Bottom of the ninth. Two on. Two out. Down by one. Suddenly... a not-weird craving for beer and a better view hits. Good thing this app lets you do things like order concessions and upgrade your seat. It was only a matter of time until the beer guy turned into an app. | | | | | | | | FOR THE EXTRA-INNING RALLY | A Most American Way of Covert Drinking | | The only thing more American than enjoying our nation’s pastime: stealthily enjoying bourbon from this historically accurate, solid-copper flask. It was hand-soldered just like they were in 1819. It’s swaddled in Filson tin cloth. And if security asks, you swear it came from Complimentary Flask Day. | | | 411: | Jacob Bromwell x Filson Great American Flask, order here | | | | | | | | FOR SNAGGING FOUL BALLS | Catching Pop Flies Like It’s 1889 | | Why you’d need a perfectly recreated, old-timey fingerless fielder’s glove: 1) You never know when a foul and/or home run ball might sail your way. 2) You never know when you’ll organize a historical reenactment of baseball in the 1880s. Actually, next Tuesday’s looking pretty open... | | | | | | | | | | | | |
