There are a lot of military inspired watches on the market and this Seiko version, which is made in Japan, would make for a particularly nice accessory. This automatic mechanical watch has a 23 jewel movement and a day and date window. Not to mention a NATO webbing strap and clear back, so you can see the movement doing what it does and you never have to change any batteries.

Words

Nick Horween from Horween Leather has put together a series of photographs culled from a recent visit to Berlin, Wisconsin that must be very satisfying to the Russell Moccasin heads out there. It's a glimpse into the workings of the longstanding bookmaker, that hasn't changed much since its origins, and shows off some nice triple vamp constructions and a lot of hand-stitching.

—01. Navy army cloth.

Words

The Feel Sun Half shirt is a great example of the versatility and usability of Sassafras' garments. The weight and cut allow for it to be worn as a shirt or overshirt, the top flap pockets and large side entry pockets accommodate all you would need to carry and the cotton army cloth is durable and heavy enough for the fall and winter months. All in all a great middle-layer.
