—01. Supreme Book, Vol. 1.
—02. Take Ivy, 2010.

Words

I haven't posted many of the items I've picking up for a while now, mostly because they are almost all from our own store. Recently however I got a couple of books that I'm pretty excited about. It took me a little while to track down the first Supreme Book, but I'm glad I did. Published in 2005, the first edition features the same format as the rest, but has some great photography and nicely catalogs the old releases. I also picked up the re-published Take Ivy. It's so cheap and I'm sure everybody will have it, but that doesn't mean it's not good. I'm still fairly determined to get an original copy someday, but that day isn't today, so this is perfect for now.

Words

Unis continues to focus on easy to wear, comfortable and natural looking garments in great fabrics. The New York based brand has never strayed far from this vision and that keeps people coming back time and time again. Using a little bit more color this fall, the collection features great some staples, nice silhouettes and a wonderful selection of fabrics from Italy.

White Mountaineering Luggage Jacket

—01. Gore-Tex Performance Shell lining.

Words

White Mountaineering is a brand we should expect to see more of in the near future as their western world distribution has opened up this fall. One of the first shops to receive some of the fall collection is The Glade in Germany. The Luggage Jacket features a Gore-Tex shell lining, branded taped seams and an interesting expandable hood. It has more than enough storage too. The front features multiple pockets, not to mention a couple on the interior, meaning you can leave your bag at home and fill up your jacket instead.

—01. S.C.P., Ed. Varie & Tinker Street*.
—02. Nicholas Haggard.

Words

Before The Wilds is a group show collaboration between S.C.P., Ed. Varie and Tinker Street* featuring the work of Ye Rin Mok, Nicholas Haggard, Peter Sutherland, Ben Pier, Matty Sidle, Estelle Hanania and Thobias Fäldt. This is one of those things that makes you wish you were in a particular city at a particular time. I first heard about it during the early planning stages and was in New York over the summer as it began to take shape. Sadly though, on the day of the opening, I couldn't be further away. The show runs until September 30th, but if you're in New York I definitely recommend going along this evening. An unbound catalogue with letterpress cover and insert print will be on sale, alongside a complete set of 7 letterpress prints, and a box set of t-shirts featuring the work of each artist and 7 hand numbered, signed prints. These items have been produced in very small quantities and are unlikely to be around for long.

—Opening tonight: Ed. Varie, 208 E. 7th St., NY. 6-9pm.

Beams Plus Plaid Twill Scarf

—01. Nice length and width.
—02. Cotton twill.
—03. Made in Japan.

Words

Our second delivery from Beams Plus arrived recently and to our pleasant surprise, the red and black plaid flannel items looked and felt better than we remembered. Unlike your usual flannel, the Japanese cotton twill has a slightly more coarse texture, but it's still very soft and feels good on. The strong plaid pattern is perfect on a scarf and works really well with olive, tan and chambray.

Beams x Sugar Cane Bandanas

—01. Made in Japan.

Words

Sugar Cane and Beams have hooked up again, this time for a very simple, yet great looking item. Bandanas seem to be more popular than I thought these days as we can't keep the Real McCoy's or Beams Plus ones in stock. The colors and light weight cotton used for this batch are especially nice. They were made slightly bigger than usual so that you could use them around your neck more easily as well.

Nigel Cabourn Fall Cameraman

—01. Navy.
—02. Army.

Words

Nigel Cabourn has been picking up steam in terms of press and hype in the last couple of seasons, but without question this fall's collection measures up to that. Nigel always offers an incredible selection of outerwear, but the Cameraman is probably one of his most sought after, wearable and iconic pieces. Available in navy and army, the combination of Mackintosh and Harris Tweed is at its finest this season.

Red Wing Sage Moc Toe

—01. Sage suede upper.
—02. Made in USA.

Words

The moc toe boot from Red Wing is one of their most famous models. Last spring we saw the chukka done in this subtle sage suede, but this fall the better known work boot gets the treatment. Again, I like it and although I'll probably stick with my more traditional option, it definitely gives this classic a fresh feel.
