Our Legacy Basics

—01. 'Perfect T' & 'Great Sweatshirt'.

Words

One of the things many new designers often over look are the simple things. Our Legacy however have put a certain amount of work into their really nice basics. Not even just their denim or chinos, but simply a good fitting, nice feeling pocket t-shirt and crewneck sweat. Available each season, for pretty fair prices, Our Legacy provides great basics for any man's closet.

—01. Piquet polo shirt.
—02. White poplin shirt.

Words

Our Legacy seem to be using increasingly nice fabrics to upgrade some of the most basic items you can have. This is a pretty good way to develop a great base for a collection, which I feel the Swedish fellows have done a good job of. The Piquet polo and white poplin shirt are a couple nice basics in their summer collection.

Words

Our friends from Sweden recently stopped by Odin in New York to set up their first real Our Legacy retail experience. Taking their aesthetic and the look of their stores at home, Our Legacy have taken over a portion of the downtown shop and converted it into a nice little space. Featuring their new spring collection, Odin plays host to probably the biggest selection of Our Legacy in North America this season.

—01. Spring-Summer 2011, Observations.

Words

The collections from Our Legacy continue to improve in pretty much every aspect each season. The fabric choices, the cuts, the fabric washes, etc, it goes on. The brand has developed great core pieces like their 40s BD shirt, the 'great' sweatshirt and their chinos - they've all become standard staples. This spring, I feel like the collection is as solid as ever, but their seasonal 'look book' is really what caught my eye. I think the tones and washed out whites combined with the rich blues and greens look especially great. They always do a fine job getting me excited about their brand.

Words

A couple of our friends in Sweden have got together to open a shop. Tres Bien and Our Legacy have had a strong relationship for a long time now so it makes sense for them to join forces in Stockholm. The store is very clean, uses the space nicely and will no doubt be a success with the loyal following both brands have built over the past few years. You should also be able to find the new issue of Inventory on their shelves in the coming weeks too.

Our Legacy by Mathias Sterner

Words

In some of my recent posts featuring Our Legacy's spring collection you'll notice I've used slightly different product shots than usual. These photos are apart of the brand's spring campaign which was shot by their friend and photographer, Mathias Sterner. The photographs capture the items in their natural habits of lived in, beautifully lit spaces. The shots are rich in color, texture and a mood that gives the products a different feeling, one that is more interesting and human, as if the person is just out of frame or in another room. Mathias has worked for a number of publications including Apartamento, Monocle and Pig. His shots have a great consistency and nice feel to them, full of character and great light.

Our Legacy Linen Bomber

Details

—01. Paired nicely with a blue oxford shirt.

Words

"A refined bomber jacket with a heavy silver zip – easily worn as a light jacket in the spring. Here, in a blue crispy linen fabric, super nice contrast between style and fabric. The fabric is a 'perfect' thin canvas structure from Italy that has been already washed once."
