DAYBREAK Magazine

Coffee’s meant for the outdoors. Unless you’re cozy by a fireplace with your love. Or you’re snowed into a cabin in the mountains. Or it’s down pouring on the coast. Or you hate the outdoors, but if that’s the case, you’re probably in the wrong place anyway.

We’re nearly halfway sold out of our first ever batch of jade glass, classic Japanese style mugs. Who knows if we’ll do another batch of these or not. Probably. Maybe not. Who the hell knows.

Whatever the case, you should grab this for your coffee, whether you have it inside or out.

Made for creatives in the outdoors.

“It’s the perfect wine glass!” - Abby Webster

Our first ever “coffee” mug is available now and movin’ real quick. 🍻

Our first ever coffee cup is all yours tomorrow at DAYBREAK. Our Wrangler Reading Mug is a traditional, Japanese glass mug illustrated by the fellas over at Brothers Design Co. that’s meant to last ya a long, long time.

It was only fitting… introducing our first ever coffee mug.

Available Wednesday 9/2 at DAYBREAK.

DAYBREAK V.9 SUBMISSIONS OPEN
Deadline June 26, 2026

We haven’t been over to the Pacific Northwest in a while. Too long if you ask me. There’s a feeling that comes along with the PNW that’s not far off from the Northern East Coast or the Northwoods of the Midwest. In the PNW, the air feels... mossy. Seaspray floats like the clouds that roll from the Sound into the valley’s of the Cascades. The wool blanket in the back of your car is your best friend, the coast glows with campfires, and mountain tops are speckled with old fire lookouts.

For DAYBREAK V.9, we’re getting cozy on the coast, wandering into deep green woods, and lighting a fire in the sand. We think you should tag along. For V.9, we’re looking for submitted stories around the ideas and feelings of “beach bonfires,” “coastal cozy,” “cabin core,” “wool blankets,” “dense forest,” and “mossy driftwood.”

For V.8 we sat down with Sam and Juan to dive into the early days of Brothers, going from brothers to co-workers, and the frustrating compliment a stolen design is.

DAYBREAK V.8: Hand Crank Windows is available now 🍻

At the core of a historic and growing Chicago music scene, has played a vital role in the growth of both the Chicago and Midwest indie scenes. “Small Talk” embodies both this growth and a heavy Chicago footprint across all 11 tracks.

Just before its release, we sat down with Max and Julien to talk through the new record, the pains of writing both on the road and simply as an adult, and the beautiful chaos a Transatlantic relationship brings.

Whitney is featured in DAYBREAK Mag V.8, which is shipping now.
