Epperson Mountaineering make some of the nicest, most classic bags in the USA. The quality and durability of the Cordura is some of the best, and it has a beautiful rugged aesthetic. The company was started in the 70s by mountaineer, Mark Epperson, and this spring the brand has made a pack of three bags especially for Inventory. The bags feature hand picked hardware, a custom color combination and a couple small changes to meet our preference. The bags are limited to 24 pieces per style.

—02. Black.

Words

Head Porter Plus' classic two-tone chinos are back for the spring. I prefer the khaki color as the contrast is a bit nicer and I don't usually wear black pants. The fabric is always great with HPP pants, and the subtle technical details are well executed.

—01. Twill cotton suits in navy & black.

Words

The spring collaboration between Adam Kimmel and Supreme has been hyped up enough, but I think the product does deserve a good look. With simple detailing, nice fabrics and a good fit, the two companies have put out a nice product. Especially the navy cotton twill suit, which works nice separately, would prove to be a great piece to have. Read the interviews below, and you can also catch the Adam Kimmel jacket in the spring Supreme editorial in our latest issue of Inventory.

Words

Nanamica have recently launched a Filson Red Label brand for the Japanese market. Building on their strong relationship with the American heritage brand, the fellows at Nanamica have changed some colors, fabrics, adjusted fits and come up with a handful of great looking styles. For those who will miss Daiki's Woolrich Upland shirt, it looks like this might be a potential replacement.

—02. Khaki suede.

Words

This color of suede might be the best leather Quoddy stock these days. It seems to make any model look better to me, whether its a chukka, a loafer or their classic maliseet oxford. The honey camp sole is a nice choice with the khaki upper as well. It's really a great shoe for the summer.

Words

Not many shops have bought into Mark's small range of New Amsterdam clothing, but End have a couple nice looking bits. Polka dots seem to be the pattern of the season this year, so this big-dot shirt might be just right for the summer.
