warm weather cool This summer, it’s all about embracing the new and different, don’t you think? Here, our cool hunter Lance Avery Morgan recommends some of his favorite finds for you to enjoy. Let the good times begin.
THE TEAM, AND THE MOVIE, THAT COULD If ever there was a sports movie about the can-do Texas spirit, it’s the Texas-produced 12 Mighty Orphans. Starring Luke Wilson, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen, and Lane Garrison, it’s the true Depression-era story of a group of orphans led to a football championship that captured the hearts of FDR and the entire country. At 12MightyOrphansMovie. com.
CHASING THE SUN Let’s face it, literally. We’ll be in the sun all summer, and we need to protect our skin from its potential damage. We love that Oars & Alps, for the naturallyinclined, is on a mission to help men chase the sun safely. All six sun-friendly products, from sunscreen to moisturizer to post-sun cooling spray, are 30+ SPF. Prices vary. At OarsAndAlps.com. STATE-SPECIFIC PRIDE When hosting a gathering, what better way to show that you’re a true Texan than with state-shaped ice cubes? These conversation starters are not only cool, literally, but also are practical to keep chilled beverages as cool as, you guessed it, ice. At UncommonGoods.com.
PADDLES UP If you haven’t taken up pickleball, which is sweeping the world, it’s not too late. This fun derivation of tennis meets ping pong meets badminton, even has a devoted fan in Clooney. If it’s fun enough for him, it’s fun enough for us. Get your equipment and accessories at Franklin Sports to soon own the court. At FranklinSports.com. Daniel Craig, No Time To Die.

From $425. At BartonPerreira.com s
