—01. Mid-town New York, July 2011.
The last couple of days have been spent all over New York, mid-town, uptown and even down below Canal. More meetings, more spaces and more clothing - its been a good trip overall, except for the insanely brutal heat in the city. I don't think I've ever been as uncomfortable wearing a t-shirt and shorts as yesterday. Fortunately Owen and I escape back to Vancouver tonight to some moderately nice spring weather.
—01. Classic military camo.
The McCoy's summer hats are some of the best out there at the moment. This classic American military tiger camo is perfect for this style of cap, and one I wouldn't mind having for sure. Unfortunately it only comes in larger sizes, which means I'll have to pick up a surplus/vintage option. Either way, the accent of this pattern with whites and navy blue looks great.

Another couple of hot days in New York, another roud of meetings, spaces, people, showrooms and clothing. We've been keeping busy so far, but fortunately we have a bit of time tomorrow to hit up a couple of shops, go uptown and hopefully try not to sweat too much.
—01. The Plant Journal.
—02. Take 8 Ivy.
We've been receiving some great publications lately and a couple that we've been highly anticipating have just landed in Vancouver. The Plant Journal features some nice design, great photography and some interesting stories. Take 8 Ivy takes off where the original book by Teruyoshi Hayashide left off. With more schools, more photos and more pages, the book is a must have.

I like chambray. Classic, casual and wearable with any sort of pants or shorts, I don't even mind the Canadian tuxedo look. The fabric is easily complemented and this style in particular has some nice patchwork separating it from the dozens of great options available out there. RM used a washing process that balances the indigo colour well with the rest of the garment. Definitely a piece that would fit comfortably into anyones wardobe.
—01. New York, July 2011.
The first day in New York was a long one. Owen and I arrived early Monday morning to meet Simon, with just enough time to drop our bags off, have a shower and hit the subway for a day full of showrooms and meetings. It was great to have a second look at Engineered Garments and Post Overalls, while having a stroll through Capsule and a first good viewing of Arc'teryx Veilance.

The second issue of The Green Soccer Journal has finally landed in Vancouver this past week. The 'France Issue' covers a variety of interesting people and organizations, as well as offers a nice mix of editorial and product focuses. The latest is definitely a step up for the UK based publication as the imagery, direction and content all look very sharp.
