Reigning Champ & Patta Sweat Suit

I suggest you start popping in on the Reigning Champ site a little more often as their blog has recently been receiving plenty of updates with everything from inspiration to sneak peeks of upcoming product. One of the peeks they have given lately is this collaboration fleece sweat suit with Amsterdam’s Patta. Using the heavyweight fleece RC has become well known for, “the top is a full zip hoody with a snap button storm flap, with a split zip/zip out hood that reveals a stadium collar when the top is off.  The sweat pant has full front pockets and a military inspired reinforced bottom.” The military inspired branding is enlarged, yet still keeping Patta’s clean vibe. Bang on streetwear. Available this Saturday @ select retailers.

Alden Greenwich Boot

I’m having a hard time with this post at the moment as there is coffee seeping through my keyboard due to the initial reaction I had when I spotted these boots. It is tough to find a purveyor of footwear that can match the knowledge and style of New York’s Leffot. When they hitch a ride with Americas long standing footwear producer Alden, it will likely cause a similar reaction to anyone with even the slightest of interest in footwear. Leffot recently received stock of their Greenwich Boot and I suggest heading to their blog to hear the details, as they describe them best. You might want to have someone hide your credit card first.

Ellesse by Wood Wood

Italy’s sportswear-icon Ellesse teamed up with Wood Wood to bring you this fantastic capsule collection, consisting of polos, track-tops, chinos, hats and sweaters. The collection is obviously a homage to the “Casual”-style of the 90ies and by what I’ve seen it’s all-killers, no-fillers. Available here.
