Heller's Cafe One-Pocket Work Shirt

01

Images

—01. 100% cotton.
—02. Made in Japan.

Words

I really like the reproductions that Heller's Cafe produces with Warehouse. They're authentic looking garments, based on pieces from the early half of the 20th century that would not shy away from a hard day's work, but not generally worn for the same tasks these days.

The Superior Labor Three-Color Socks

01

Image

—01. Made in Japan.

Words

I'm sure it's obvious that we're fans of The Superior Labor's socks. This pair, in my eyes, is something special, even if it is the kind of item that's always inside your shoes. Unless, of course, you go around town taking them off at all your friend's houses.

Weekend Viewing: Idem Paris by David Lynch

Additional Credits

Edited by Noriko Miyakawa
Mixed by Dean Hurley

Words

I don't check in on David Lynch's filmography as much these days, as a result of his recent focus on music, so I'm a latecomer to his short about the Parisian print studio, Idem. Dedicated to the lithographic process since it was built by Emile Dufrenoy in 1880, Lynch's lens reveals the mechanical beauty of showcasing these historic machines at work. Better late than never.

Junya Watanabe MAN Garment Dyed Twill Coat

01

Images

—01. Garment dyed.
—02. Contrast pockets.

Words

'Reasonably priced' is an objective statement when it comes to fashion, and especially when it comes to Junya Watanabe. So let's ignore the cost for the moment and concentrate on the details and the design, which, on this piece, are in abundance without being overpowering. Here the details are practical; adjustable cuffs, rear vent, and side entry compartments, while the contrast herringbone fabric on the patch pockets makes for a subtle and wearable take on a traditional Watanabe design cue.
