"FacebookPinterestGroup Shot with Burkman Bros.jpg\n\nLast evening we popped into the Urban Outfitters flagship on Fifth Ave. here in NYC to finally see the brand's collaboration with Burkman Brothers hit the floor. The beach party was in full-effect, complete with inner tubes, palm trees, and Styrofoam coolers turned into clever light fixtures. And while the mass of people who showed up in support of Ben and Doug was impressive, what we found exciting was being able to get our paws on pieces from The Tourist collection.\n\nThe duo chose to start The Tourist with Spring/Summer, what brother Doug considers their strongest season, to be able to play with some of the pieces they are most known for: prints and patterns on shorts and tanks. Urban gave the brothers a clean slate with which to design the pieces and after months of meetings and tweaking the designs, the pieces are finally available for purchase. Standout items in the ten-piece collection include a fish print popover shirt (which is flying off the racks), some pretty stellar serape-style striped shorts and the duo's famous bracelets. Footwear even makes an appearance in the form of a Made-in-the-USA Gurkee's rope sandal, available in four colors, that takes the gladiator style into decidedly more rugged territory. Luckily the collaboration isn't a one-off and the brothers have signed on for two more seasons, which will also give Doug and Ben more input on Tourist's in-store concept. Get the goods in stores or online now before they're gone - because this is the only time we're going to tell you that dressing like a tourist is acceptable.\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
