After taking an in-depth look at the entire South 2 West 8 bag collection here, it's time to focus on one of my favorite models, the market tote. The large bag is great, especially come summer time, for hauling all sorts around. Whether you're heading to the beach or to work, the market tote is a versatile bag with extreme durability.

South 2 West 8 Deer Camo Products

01

Info

—01. Spring camouflage.

Words

Fall and winter are usually the seasons for solids, but once the sun is shining a little brighter, and staying up a little longer, it seems more people are willing to wear a printed piece or two. In recent seasons a lot of brands have offered something interesting print-wise in the short department, but South 2 West 8 have decided that this spring it's time to go deer camo crazy. This great pattern features on everything from shirts and jackets, to scarves and hats in the new Spring collection, so there should be an option for almost anybody that's a fan of this unique looking camouflage.

Words

Fall/Winter collections have been hitting the blogosphere as of late, but this restock of the caramel jacket for spring/summer is a great option for either season. Made with 60% cotton and 40% nylon, the lightweight design and subtle detailing lend well to the shape of the jacket. These won't be around for too much longer so if red isn't your color, choose one from four available color-ways.

South 2 West 8 Rugby Shirt

—01. Green with dark red stripe.
—02. Collar detail.
—03. Underarm detail.

Words

South 2 West 8 offers a great rendition of the traditional rugby shirt in two colourways. The attention to detail and durability of this piece really give it an authentic feel. The classic rugby collar tends to be white but the natural cotton blends in nicely with stripes in both colours. I really don't have anything like this but I think it would blend well with a pair of chinos or fatigues.

—01. Made in Japan.

Words

This pop-over shirt has a moderately shiny satin fabric which plays into the military inspired garment. The dark brown cat eye buttons enhance the fine sense of detail and texture. The final product evokes strong vintage reference through its classic tones and simple fabric.
