In this week’s edition of Strategist Brain, gear writer Jeremy Rellosa is looking for the perfect running shirt (and the cotton tee he recently lost in Central Park). His requirements: billowy, boxy, perfectly cropped, and doesn’t feel restrictive around the arms and chest. Also on his mind: colorful “lucky” socks, a camping table that doubles as a tiny desk, a warbler cap he spotted while birding, and the Uniqlo shorts he’s worn all summer for tennis, workouts, and … yes, going out to the bar afterward.

Elsewhere on the site: Contributor and bar expert John deBary told us how to properly stock a bar cart, contributor Chris Sarachilli asked baristas what French presses they recommend and tested five of the presses himself to find the best one, and this perfectly proportioned linen button-down is 35 percent off.

In other sales news: Back-to-school sales are still going strong, everything at Gap (even the Dôen collab!) is 40 percent off at checkout through August 19, and we just spotted our best-in-class air purifier for 32 percent off (an even better price than we saw during Prime Day!).
