Words

Normally I don't get too excited about fall in July, but with the knowledge of the items on their way to Vancouver I can't help it. There are a couple of things I miss in the summer - my Red Wings and knit caps in particular - but there are also a couple of other items I am looking forward to picking up this fall, especially the brushed flannel CPO shirt by Engineered Garments. As you can see here, it's one of those simple pieces that works well with everything. The tones in this outfit are easy and I think this is one of those blog posts where I will catch myself looking exactly like it when the weather cools down enough.

The Real McCoy's USN Utility Jacket

—01. Olive herringbone twill.
—02. USN stamp.

Words

The USN Utility jacket is based on an American issued 1940s army jacket. The simple 3-pocket jacket comes in an olive herringbone fabric that isn't too structured but is quite tough and very durable. The black donut buttons have a small insignia and there is a 'USN' stamp on the chest. It's made in Japan and is a great all-season item that works well as a light jacket or a layering piece in the fall.

The Real McCoy's Arrowhead Sweatshirt

Details

—01. 12oz. sweat, loopwheeled in Japan.

Words

While it's been the plain navy, grey and black McCoy's sweatshirts that have been very popular lately, this slightly heavier and slightly tougher 12 oz. loopwheeled sweat is one of our favorites in the store right now. There are a million printed sweat shirts out there to choose from, but The Real McCoy's again deliver not only the best fleece in terms of cut and construction, but also in terms of well executed prints. The nice shade of green and simple graphics make it easy to wear and great to feel.

Bringing back the ‘In my Bag’ post once more, we recently shot some articles for our spring issue and each of us took photos of our ‘bags’. Some things are in there every day and somethings aren’t, but most of them are mine and get used regularly. The whole concept of the bag posts was to offer insight into people’s personal tastes and how the things they find important or at least aesthetically pleasing. There probably aren’t many surprises in my bag other than maybe my passport holder and the lack of something by Engineered Garments, but each thing serves its purpose and looks fairly nice, especially those Papermate pens.

In Stock: The Real McCoy's

One of our most exciting additions to the Inventory Stockroom this spring is The Real McCoy’s. Arguably the best reproduction brand in the world, McCoy’s offers a diverse range of products through The Real McCoy’s, Joe McCoy’s, Buco and the other licences the company now holds. Producing iconic American garments is the end product, but the brand itself is very special and there is a lot of love, research and history involved in creating each piece. The brand was fortunate enough to let us dig into their archives for some of our favorite pieces before they are gone forever. As well we picked up a few of the season’s staples and are happy to offer some of the best knits, accessories, work shirts and chinos the market has to offer. We often describe the McCoy’s has being “bomb proof” due to its incredible make and quality. The choice of fabrics and construction are some of the best we’ve ever seen. We’ve included a few images of the items that we picked for the spring season, all of which are now available online.

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.
