Words

This variegated amalgam of brown duck canvas fabrics adds a lot of visual interest to the fairly basic Arrow Jacket by Needles. Having poked around in a number of shops before finding this hunting piece, it's apparent that patchwork is a prevalent trend this season. Many brands seem to be doing it for the novelty of pairing disparate fabric panels, but the Rebuild line uses this approach as its signature season after season, crafting entirely new one-off creations from a wide range of vintage items.

—01. Polyester lined.

Words

While I’m always appreciative of the outstanding details on Junya Watanabe pieces, sometimes it's the items exercising restraint that bowl me over the most. That’s how this warm winter cardigan struck me on first sight. The elbow patches and pockets are in keeping with the line’s usual flourishes, but rendering them in black against a dark knitted body results in something altogether more wearable.

Vans and Wtaps have been working together for almost a decade and today marks the release of their latest collaborative collection. The eight-piece offering for Fall-Winter '15, produced as part of the footwear brand's Vault line, features two Caballero-inspired versions of the Sk8-Hi and a trio of Era options, influenced by the Japanese school uniform and colour-coded grading system. The highlight, however, is a tonal edition of the low cut Style 36 silhouette, built on a vulcanised rubber sole and rendered in three appealing shades of premium suede.

Neighborhood Mash Jacket

—01. Embroidered throughout.

Words

While not one of Neighborhood's most subtle pieces, the detailed embroidery on the Mash Jacket is incredible. It would be easy to get something like this wrong, but the Japanese brand have successfully updated a beautiful reference, creating something rich in design and balanced in aesthetic and feeling.
