—01. 100% Nylon.
—02. Available in four colours.

Words

I recently ordered this jacket via my proxy after seeing it in last month's issue of Grind. The fit is excellent, the tonal buttons look great (especially on the white colourway), and overall it's one of the best coaches jackets I own, especially for the price.

Nike Air Max 98 OG

—01. White & Team Orange.

Words

The welcome trend of Nike reissuing styles from the '90s makes it really easy to pick up that pair of shoes you may have owned or missed owning in the past. While they might not be to everyone's taste, I'm excited to see this re-release of the cult classic Air Max 98. The exposed air bag makes them very attractive and they'd look great with jeans and a T-shirt.

—01. Made in Japan.
—02. 100% cotton.

Words

This simple 1950s sweatshirt, featuring an oatmeal body and contrasting navy pocket and hood details, from the Japanese brand Phigvel, is the right decision for a finely made, lightweight athletic fleece. The two-tone colourway sets it apart from the scores of monochrome versions out there and the two-way zipper adds a nice touch.

Cherchbi Laptop Sleeve

—01. Made in UK.
—02. Available in two colours.

Words

British brand Cherchbi started out making bags from the discarded wool of Herdwick sheep, and while the selection of materials they use has grown since the company was established in 2007, the durable, waterproof fabric is still a prominent feature of their collections. An item that sees as much use as a laptop sleeve definitely benefits from the wool's natural qualities, and the simple design makes this option a unique but easy choice.

—01. Combed cotton twill outer.

Words

While the weather might be improving for a lot of us and certain types of clothing have become less of a priority, there are always those pieces that transcend the seasons, unlikely to be worn for months but offering an investment for the future. This Japanese-made, alpaca-lined flying jacket by Stevenson Overall Co., a brand that originally existed in the 1920s and now produces some fantastic reinterpretations of prominent vintage pieces, is just such an item.

Max Bill Watches

—01. Numbers.
—02. Lines.

Words

The pool of finely made automatic watches is very deep and choices are almost too endless. Canoe has three variations of the classic style designed by Max Bill in 1962 and produced in Germany. Their neighbours to the south, and Bill's home country, may get most of the acclaim when it comes to timepieces, but these clean designs are a great alternative that will always rival comparable Swiss-made watches.

—01. Inventory exclusives.

Words

To add to our selection of South2 West8 bags for SS14 we asked the brand to bring back one of their original styles especially for us. Replaced in recent seasons by the Zip Tool Tote, the Book Tote was always offered in Sunforger, but this is the first time it's also been made in Ballistic Nylon and 18oz Canvas. Limited numbers of all three options are now in stock at both of our shops, as well as online.
