Fourth of July may be over, but barbecue season is not. Here are six made-in-America products to continue the celebration of long days and warm temps in style.
Therm-a-Rest Treo Chair ($100)
The 聽packs into a sturdy plastic tripod, making it a bomber and portable travel companion. Set up, it measures 13 inches tall, which is just high enough to prevent you from feeling like you鈥檙e sitting on the ground.
Cooks Flips Salvage Sandal ($60)
We love the simple, comfortable design of Cooks Flips聽sandals, which are handmade in Marietta, South Carolina. The 聽strap is made from upcycled polypropylene, a material that dries lightning fast and is so sturdy that the company guarantees them for life. Bonus: The cork footbed stays sticky even when wet.
Of One Sea Paddleball Set ($90)
Get active聽without getting too serious.聽While this聽聽costs about nine times as much as the Smashball set of your childhood, know that you鈥檙e investing in Northern California craftsmanship when you buy this two-tone birch paddle that looks good enough to mount in your office when you aren鈥檛 crushing serves in the backyard.
JungMaven Vintage Black Tea Overdye Baja SS Tee ($102)
罢丑颈蝉听辞谤驳补苍颈肠 聽has enough American聽flag flair to help you show your patriotism while still being subtle enough to wear all summer. The Baja SS is dyed with black tea, which reduces its environmental impact.
Chubbies Au Naturale BBQ Apron ($35)
Austin, Texas鈥揵ased Chubbies sells incredible Americana shorts, but we like its 聽even more. We鈥檙e strong believers that you shouldn鈥檛 take yourself seriously if you鈥檙e wearing an apron, and the hairy chested Au Naturale is guaranteed to get some laughs.
SeaVees Custom Swim Trunks ($88)
Katin trunks have been a California surf staple since the 鈥50s. SeaVees teamed up with iconic company to create these聽. The retro styling聽with a leg stripe and draw cord聽makes the shorts look just as good at the beach as they do in the backyard.
