The August Batch: Corduroy Hats, Knit Fleece and a Whiteboard Eraser With Main Character Energy

This week's arrivals are a proper mixed bag, in the best way. We've got Stormtech outerwear made from recycled polyester, a corduroy bucket hat that people will actually fight over, and desk gear that earns its spot instead of migrating to the bottom drawer. Every one of these takes your logo and puts it somewhere it gets seen daily.

Here are the six picks worth your attention this week.

Men's Appaloosa Knit Jacket

The Men's Appaloosa Knit Jacket is a lightweight knit fleece from Stormtech, built for teams who need a branded layer that works in client meetings and on cold job sites alike. Contoured side panels, articulated elbows and a proper high collar give it the shape of a jacket someone chose for themselves, which is exactly the point. Most corporate fleece ends up in a cupboard next to the lanyard collection. This one gets worn on weekends.

At $155.88 it sits at the serious end of branded apparel, and that's where it belongs. This is the piece you put on your leadership team, your client-facing staff, or the crew representing you at an industry event. When your logo sits on something people genuinely rate, the brand association does the rest.

It suits real estate agencies, construction firms with office and field staff, sporting clubs with sponsors to impress, and any business handing out uniforms it wants worn with actual enthusiasm. There's a Women's Appaloosa Knit Jacket too, built from GRS-certified recycled polyester, so you can kit out the whole team without anyone getting the boxy afterthought version.

Women's Volante H2X-DRY Polo

The Women's Volante H2X-DRY Polo is a performance polo from Stormtech designed for staff who need to look sharp while working hard in Australian heat. The H2X-DRY moisture management tech wicks sweat away fast, and the UPF 50+ rating means it pulls double duty as sun protection for anyone spending long days outdoors or on their feet.

Tradeshow floors are brutal. Eight hours of standing, talking, smiling and lugging boxes, usually under convention centre lighting that could roast a chicken. This is the polo for that. It's also right at home on branded activations, outdoor events, golf days and any campaign where your team is the front line of the brand.

At $73.08, this is the polo for businesses that treat staff uniforms as marketing rather than an afterthought. Hospitality groups, event agencies, landscaping companies and sales teams on the road will get the most out of it. Your logo on the chest, your people looking composed at 3pm instead of wilted. That's the whole pitch.

Atlanta Cord Bucket Hat

The Atlanta Cord Bucket Hat is a corduroy bucket hat made from premium 8-Wale Partridge Cord 100% cotton, and it's the standout of this week's drop. Corduroy headwear has that textured, slightly retro look that gets unprompted compliments, and it photographs beautifully, which matters when your merch is going to end up all over social media.

Branded caps are everywhere. Branded cord bucket hats are not, and scarcity is your friend here. Hand these out at a festival activation, a summer product launch, a uni open day or a brewery event and watch them actually leave the venue on people's heads instead of in the bin by the exit.

It comes in four wearable colourways (Black, Navy, Bone and Walnut), so there's an option that suits your brand palette without looking like a hi-vis compromise. At $23.81 it's a strong pick for breweries, streetwear-adjacent brands, music events, surf and outdoor businesses, and any company whose audience skews under 40 and allergic to boring merch. Put your logo on the front and let the hat do the talking.

Bonack Wood Whiteboard Eraser

The Bonack Wood Whiteboard Eraser is a pine whiteboard eraser designed to be laser engraved with your logo, and it might be the most quietly clever item in this week's batch. Whiteboards get used constantly. Brainstorms, sprint planning, meeting notes, the odd passive-aggressive kitchen reminder. Whoever's logo is on the eraser is in the room for all of it.

The smooth pine surface takes laser engraving beautifully, so your branding looks crafted rather than printed on. That matters for a desk item. It reads as considered, the kind of thing an agency or consultancy leaves behind after a workshop as a small, useful calling card.

At $3.59 this is an easy add to conference kits, onboarding packs for new hires, training room fitouts and client welcome boxes. It's perfect for education providers, coworking spaces, consultancies and any B2B brand that spends time in meeting rooms with other people's whiteboards. Sneaky, useful, and it never gets thrown out because it never stops being needed.

Penguin A5 Day to Day Diary

The Penguin A5 Day to Day Diary is a full-page-per-day planner with a textured cover, smooth 80gsm paper and a silver ribbon bookmark, built for people who still trust paper over apps. Diaries have outlasted every productivity fad for a reason. No subscription, no notifications, no battery anxiety. Just a page, a pen, and your logo on the cover every single working day of the year.

The structured cover means it survives being chucked in a bag, and the day-to-day layout suits anyone whose schedule is genuinely full. Lawyers, tradies quoting jobs, medical clinic staff, project managers. If your clients or team live by appointments, this format earns daily attention.

At $14.90, this is a strong end-of-year client gift or a new-year desk drop for your whole team. Accountants, law firms, financial planners and agencies do particularly well with branded diaries because the audience overlaps perfectly with people who use them. Twelve months of brand exposure from a single item is very hard to beat. If your crowd prefers a lighter format, the Penguin A5 Weekly Diary landed this week too.

A5 Carbon Notebook

The A5 Carbon Notebook is a branded notebook with a textured carbon-weave PU cover and an elastic closure, made for businesses that want their stationery to look sharper than the standard conference-issue pad. The carbon-weave finish catches the eye on a desk or boardroom table, and the elastic band keeps loose notes and business cards where you left them.

It comes in black, navy and grey, which happen to be the exact colours of people who arrive to meetings on time. At $8.10 it's an affordable way to make conference bags, delegate packs and onboarding kits feel deliberate rather than thrown together.

This one suits tech companies, automotive brands, engineering firms and anyone whose brand identity leans clean and technical. The carbon texture does half the storytelling before your logo even enters the conversation. Hand them out at a product launch or seminar and they'll still be in circulation months later, your branding along for every meeting.
