Words

These jeans from Burgus Plus, the house brand of near 60-year-old Japanese retailer Hinoya, stand out as a really special denim choice amongst the countless other options out there. The deerskin leather reinforcements on the back pockets are definitely a highlight, as are the relaxed fit, two-tone selvedge, and beautiful high-contrast fade that can be achieved over time.

Tretorn Nylite Canvas Sneakers

—01. 100% post industrial sock liner.

Words

I’ve always been a fan of the unique design and simple nature of the Tretorn Nylite sneaker. The silhouette is unlike most others and the gullwing branding, especially in this case, is distinctive yet subtle. Suited to a variety of uses from deck shoe to daily wear, they would be a great alternative to the more common white sneakers that are readily available.

Kaptain Sunshine Cooperstown Ball Cap

—01. Made in USA.

Words

I find it very hard to resist an immaculate USN reference like this. The logo is extremely unique and the hat itself features all the right historical details, almost nullifying the steep price for a piece of headwear. Although maybe this only applies to those of us attracted to mid-century American Navy items.

With a lot of stores still on sale, it's the perfect time to pick up some really great pieces at a discount. This reversible vest by the Japanese brand Kaptain Sunshine is full of vintage details and features an olive wool exterior, as well as a wool and alpaca pile lining. Moreover, it takes inspiration from a USN life preserver, an unusual but interesting reference point.
