Converse Addict High

Info

—01. Burgundy hi.

Words

In the last year or so I have been wearing the Converse Addict shoes pretty regularly. The only pair from this fall's release I wanted was the burgundy high tops. In fact it was the only recent purchase that I knew I would eventually make. They're pretty much my perfect sneakers, just need a few colors.

A couple of weeks back we received a delivery from our local friends at Homespun. The shipment includes some new fabrics of their great Coalminer shirt. The mock twist melange fabrics come from Japanese mills and are made here in Canada. They are the perfect weight, incredibly soft and fit really nicely. The indigo dyed henley is made especially for our shop, and is exclusive to Inventory.

Wtaps Fall Items

Info

—01. A variety of casual pieces.

Words

Haven has received another shipment from Wtaps, which includes their suede sneakers, fatigue pants and some simple cut and sew pieces. There are a handful of items I wouldn't mind picking up, unfortunately the Yen is still a bit to strong for my liking at the moment.

Post Overalls 5-Pocket Cords

Info

—01. Available in sand and sage.

Words

Post Overalls aren't especially known for their corduroy pants, but these 5-pocket bedford cords are some of the best I've seen this fall. While the sand color might be a little bit light for the dead of winter, I think they look great on a crispy, cool, dry wintery day.

The LA based concept gallery and store IKO IKO, which focuses on high craft and design pieces, has just released the first issue of a new online journal entitled BLEACHED BLEACHED; which has been launched as a way to join the spirit behind the space with work by artists they admire. The first issue "Untitled" is by the Japanese photographer Akio Nishimoto, who's work is described as "using a variety of old and new digital camera technology", and who's image-making "shares the texture around a day, unfolding and folding back in".
