The tradition of New Yorkers escaping the city to fish the streams and rivers of the surrounding countryside goes back decades, and it's alive and well following a spike in fly fishing’s popularity in recent years. To commemorate that tradition, as well as the timeless values of friendship and angling, the Empire State streetwear label Only NY recently teamed up with the Hawley, Pennsylvania fly shop Housefly Fishing to collaborate on a limited line of fishy apparel, accessories, and gear that'll feel at home on stream banks, downtown, or in an apartment that's too small and too expensive.
Wearable items within the Only NY x Housefly collab include an embroidered hoodie ($120), a t-shirt ($48), and two styles of socks–one in a bug motif ($20) and the other a housefly ($20), naturally.
