Words

Avant-garde Japanese brand Sasquatchfabrix. continually produce great-looking accessories. A leather hat could easily be a bad idea, but one closely modelled on the classic US military boonie style is a bonus in my book, especially when rendered in a luxurious yet tough material that can be counted on to stand up to everyday abuse.

Words

These intriguing monochromatic slip-ons by Sasquatchfabrix. feel like prison issue Chuck Taylors, and that juxtaposition is precisely their charm. The laceless high-tops feature an elastic strap to hold your foot securely in place, giving an otherwise simple silhouette a distinctive look of its own.

Sasquatchfabrix. have produced another amazing offering this season, one which includes this beautiful Wa-Neck shirt.

The Japanese brand Sasquatchfabrix. does a remarkable job of taking classic references and warping them to fit their avant-garde aesthetic.

If there are any two things I find myself universally drawn to, it's Japanese lettering and Japanese-made Champion product. If there is anything that I find universally repellant, it's war. So if you feel the same as me on these fronts, this T-shirt will probably interest you as well.

Although I do find myself a bit disappointed in fashion brands for constantly using the same musical references for graphics, John Lennon's likeness couldn't come close to ruining this wonderful dual-sided tee from Sasquatchfabrix.
