Simon and I arrived in Florence today for our first visit to Pitti Uomo. Our first buying appointments for the SS11 season are scheduled for tomorrow with Yuketen, Nigel Cabourn and Engineered Garments. While there are a number of other brands and people to meet with, we are especially excited for the upcoming day at the show. We were lucky enough to get a great apartment in the heart of Florence so we'll be checking out a few shops in between appointments as well. I'll be trying to give daily updates from the field so stay tuned for a couple of sneak peaks and news of what's happening at Pitti in general.

With Father's Day around the corner, we thought we would put together a few ideas for nice gifts that your old man might enjoy. Whether he needs some fresh reading material or the perfect sweat, we've got a nice variety of items that might fit the bill this summer.

Inventory Stockroom & Issue 02 Launch Party

01

Details

—01. Location:
45 Powell St., Vancouver BC.
From 6pm, May 28th.

Words

We've had a very busy 2010 so far and couldn't be more excited for our next step. This Friday, May 28th, we will be opening our first shop in Vancouver, BC. Our new space won't only be home to the Stockroom, but also our new offices which are tucked in the back of the space. It's a big step for us, but opening a brick and mortar shop has always been a dream and the elements have aligned this summer to allow us to continue moving forward. The shop will stock all of the products from the online Stockroom and a couple more. The opening/launch party will also give us the opportunity to celebrate the release of our 2nd issue of Inventory magazine.

If you're in Vancouver this Friday, please come out to the new space; we look forward to seeing everyone there. Thanks so much for the continued support and encouragement. We will be opening in the afternoon and having drinks through the evening.

As you've probably noticed the new Inventory website is now up and running. The change over went quite smoothly but there will still be a couple more changes as we finish the last of the updates. The updates will continue as usual with daily posts, we will be updating the Features section fairly regularly and we've updated the Stockroom with some new products. Take some time to click around and explore the new layout. Aside from the content, we've updated our contributors page as well as our stockists for the magazine.

Coming Soon: INVENTORY 02 Spring–Summer 2010

—01. Both covers will be available next week.

Words

It’s been a very compact and exciting spring so far this year as we have new developments in all aspects of Inventory, but our main focus has been the production of our second issue of the magazine. Finally our Spring–Summer 2010 issue is going to the printers and we are excited to present the two covers for the upcoming offering. We feel the new issue not only met the standard of our initial launch but perhaps exceeded it with a more diverse range of content, some great new contributors and an additional 30 pages. Featured in our spring issue are Margaret Howell, The Real McCoy’s, Beams, White Mountaineering, Our Legacy, Wm. J. Mills & Co., Unis, New Balance and several other fascinating people, brands and stories. The issue will be available to pre-order through the Inventory Stockroom next week and will be shipping and hitting shelves in early/mid-May.
