Words

The first fall deliveries from A.P.C. are already hitting select retailers, and while its hard to think too seriously about knit hats and cashmere scarves, these leather wallets do look quite nice, and are rather useful.

—01. Paraffin canvas.

Words

This backpack is one of the more interesting bags I have come across in a long time. Made of waxed canvas and leather, it is definitely sturdy and well constructed. The open top of the bag with canvas yoke and leather closure is very unique and makes for a nice detail. A nice choice for something a little different.

—01. José & Ray Parlá.

Words

Although Issue 6 of Champ magazine came out a few months back, I only recently picked it up. The look and feel was appealing initially, but the photography and articles have me looking forward to the next issue, set to release later this year.

Levi's Vintage Clothing Western Shirt

—01. Triple stud closed cuffs.

Words

Finding a good western shirt that doesn't look like a caricature of a western shirt is kind of a challenge. I love ones that don't wear the hallmarks of a cowboy shirt like a neon sign; ones in workwear colours with muted details that a 'real' 1960s cowboy costume would have had. This example from Levi's Vintage Clothing is just that, understated and traditional.

Alden Cordovan Chukka

—01. Plantation crepe sole.

Words

Lately I've had a bit of a hankering for Alden's classic chukka model. This pair ticks two of my favourite boxes, cordovan leather and their plantation crepe sole. They have a dressy look when brand new, but the beat up cordovan will look great with the more rugged sole in the future.

—01. Navy polkadots.

Words

Of our latest summer deliveries, this short sleeve polkadot BD shirt from Workers is one of the highlights. The lightweight oxford cloth has a roomy fit, great for the summer, and the subtle navy blue polkdots give it a nice detail while still being easy to wear.

—01. Engineered Garments FW13.

Words

Nepenthes recently posted a link to an interview with Daiki Suzuki, the influential Engineered Garments designer. Perhaps you paid more attention in school, or are generally just a much better person than I, and will be able to do more than just look at the accompanying imagery.

Reyn Spooner at Present

—01. Reyn Spooner Ami Shirt.

Words

One for my Hawaii born perma-vacation brethren – Reyn Spooner have been producing the highest quality Hawaiian shirts since 1949, when Reyn McCullough opened his first haberdashery shop. Having published a small article on the shirts way back in our second issue, it's nice to see Present now stocking the colourful and classic shirts, making them more widely available to those not currently partaking in the laid back island lifestyle. Luckily the shirts work just as well on the humid cement lined streets, as they do the tropics and the beach.
