Opening Ceremony and Pendleton Woolen Mills have combined to bring to the world the hippest picnic/camping blanket known to mankind. Yes, to the naked eye it may seem like an average wool blanket, but at closer examination the Yakima Camp Blnkt has got all the details to fulfill a hipster’s most potent picnic fantasies: it’s […]

The "TO KI TO Beacon" collaboration

Barbour and Tokihito Yoshida have collaborated on yet another group of jacket designs for the Spring/Summer 2010. The aptly named “TO KI TO Beacon” has a reputation for taking Barbour’s classic designs and adding intricacies signature to the Japanese designer’s style.

FALSE, Karl Lagerfeld and Better Off Dead

Singapore duo Le Messie and Amanda Scully, of FALSE fame, have released their more affordable Better Off Dead Spring/Summer 2010 line of shirts.

For those who can never decide what to wear

You may be scratching your head as you look at this jacket. Is it a hoodie? Is it a vest? Is it a blazer? What kind of God would allow such a hybrid sartorial abomination to be created?! Well, don’t be alarmed, it’s all of those things, but the design house who unearthed it — […]

The sweater is made from a breathable linen/cotton blend and they’ve added a hood to it because I don’t think its possible to dislike a sweater as long as its got a hood on it.

The Japanese boutique line goes Navajo

Tomorrow, April 28th, visvim drops their ubiquitous FBT silhouette in the Shaman edition. These visvims I’m feeling, however. Featuring all suede uppers and popping in some fittingly bright colorways for Spring / Summer 2010, these mid-highs will be making many a round this summer poolside. As it’s completely suede, however, you may want to take […]

So pretty you'll never actually want to hike in them

The Undercoverism Spring/Summer 2010 Hiking Boots strike me as a boot that is more fit for an art gallery opening than a day in the hills. Japanese designer Jun Takahashi built these from leather and brass parts and even accessorized them with spikes to scare off any small woodland creatures you might come across in […]
