The North Face Purple Label Day Pack

Info

—01. FW11 version.

There are a lot of back packs out there these days, especially in the Japanese market. Not just pure volume either, but a lot of good ones. The North Face Purple Label still alludes North American, so perhaps its the unavailability that makes this one even more appealing, but I really like the mix of colors and details on this fall day pack with a little bit extra California reference.

The North Face Purple label does need to come out west, hopefully sooner than later. The accessories, fabrics, prints and patterns are incredible and although this bucket cap is one of the more sublte pieces, its a good example of the brands ability. Lined on the inside, made with slubby cotton and featuring a classic mountaineering strip around the cap, it looks great, seems to fit well and would be nice to have weather in the heat of the city or trekking out to the lake.

Words

There's some great patterned shorts on offer this season, particularly those by Post Overalls, but these might just be the best of the bunch. The duck print is definitely pretty bold and won't be to everyone's taste, but in my mind a pair of shorts is always the perfect place for a pattern like this.
