Patagonia first introduced their corduroy 'stand up shorts' years ago. They were tough, durable and comfortable after some washing. Fast forward a couple decades and climb shorts have become a casual staple in menswear. Supreme have used a soft, easy to wear corduroy that works nicely for the spring-summer season.

—01. Black.
—02. Beige.

Words

It seems a common thread that a lot of our favorite Japanese brands make some of the best casual headwear. These boonie hats are great for the summer, especially if the sun decides to make an appearance. They come in black, tan and camouflage, but the two pictured seem to be a little harder to find.

The Superior Labor Camera Strap

—01. Navy.
—02. White.

Words

Sometimes it's the simplest things that I find the most appealing, whether it's something I have an immediate need for or not. Unfortunately for me the one camera I actually use on a semi-regular basis - the Contax T2 - has no need for, and no way of attaching, a nice camera strap. However, I'm sure that there are plenty of cameras out there that this simple canvas and leather camera strap from The Superior Labor would greatly improve.

Another month, another excellent exhibition at Mondo Cane. Starting tonight, and running until July 12th, the New York store and gallery will be showing a selection of Japanese indigo boro from the photographer Eric Kvatek's personal collection. These pieces have been acquired on his frequent trips to the country's early morning antique markets, and are becoming increasingly more difficult to find.
