Arc’teryx Viva La Vie

Arc’teryx Viva La Vie

Monday, 20. May 2013

I like Arc'teryx. With the exception of what looks like a complete futile apostrophe in their name, they're a cool brand. What's more, they do cool PR stuff which doesn't try too hard to sell you stuff. I like that because I have no problem being a huge consumer cog ...

Veras Santander

Veras Santander

Friday, 17. May 2013

I'm blogging from my back garden 'cause its sunny. I don't think I've done this in over a year. You know what I'm wearing on my feet to celebrate this glorious day before it starts raining again tomorrow? Veras. My feet have never been so un-sweaty. These artisan-crafted mesh espadrilles ...

Nike Lunaracer+3

Nike Lunaracer+3

Tuesday, 14. May 2013

These carry most of the aesthetic qualities of the much-acclaimed Flyknits, except you won’t have to live off tins of beans for the following month after purchasing them. In fact, I’d go as far to say that I actually prefer them to Flyknits; the shape looks a tad more robust ...

Proper Magazine x Topo Designs

Proper Magazine x Topo Designs

Tuesday, 14. May 2013

Now this is a fucking lookbook, people. It has scenery, weathered models and jackets worn in thoroughly unpractical ways. They have absolutely nailed the styling trinity of moodiness, scenes and garbs. Good job Proper Mag, you’re looking very dapper these days. These shots have actually been released to coincide with ...

The Flow System Wallet at Dais Boutique

The Flow System Wallet at Dais Boutique

Monday, 13. May 2013

Featuring DAIS Boutique has been a long time coming, almost five months actually, because I’m an idiot and forgot to check our Facebook mail. We actually met through a mutual, curly haired, 9 fingered friend of ours who told me I should check them out. The Huddersfield based retailer is ...

Carhartt Cane Chino

Carhartt Cane Chino

Monday, 13. May 2013

Legwear (damn, I hate that word, but I need an all encompassing term for jeans, shorts and trousers so legwear it is) doesn’t get even half the coverage on here that footwear and outerwear gets. Why? Because let’s be honest, trousers are a bit boring. If all clothes are pretty ...

The Moving Development

The Moving Development

Sunday, 12. May 2013

The Moving Development once again comes correct with some more top notch garms and another great lookbook. I know it's a cliché to say that brands don't subscribe to trends, but TMD genuinely keep it simple and consistent without fair. Mixing vintage Americana with streetwear nuances, their spring/summer 13 offering exhibits ...

Clothsurgeon

Clothsurgeon

Wednesday, 08. May 2013

I'll level with you, there's a lot of Clothsurgeon garments that I simply wouldn't wear. Furthermore, I'm not particularly enamoured by the trend of producing every possible style of clothing in leather. I guess it's because that certain aesthetic is rarely done well. That said, as a businessman, a craftsman ...

Muttonhead x Urban Industry Baseball T-Shirt

Muttonhead x Urban Industry Baseball T-Shirt

Tuesday, 07. May 2013

Urban Industry is 10 years old; that's at least 40 in shop years. To celebrate the onslaught of their mid-life crisis they have dropped this collaboration tee with Canadian apparel dudes Muttonhead. They've also divorced their wife for a 22 year old and bought a Mercedes, but that doesn't fit ...

Chrome Industries Spring Riding Kit

Chrome Industries Spring Riding Kit

Tuesday, 07. May 2013

Remember last summer when all you British (I don't include myself, I'm a citizen of the world or something like that) started pretending you were all really into cycling because you won some race thingy in France? Yeah, you thought we'd forgot about that and were going to let it ...

St Pauli Streetcore at The Chimp Store

St Pauli Streetcore at The Chimp Store

Tuesday, 07. May 2013

What's the point in having a blog if you can't rep your own brand, right? Well I say your, meaning me, but really its Steven's - I just turned up at a tradeshow and looked real debonair. Seriously, I am utterly redundant in this whole operation beyond my good looks ...

LATrE. Rugged. Reworked.

LATrE. Rugged. Reworked.

Monday, 06. May 2013

LATrE Rugged Reworked is the brainchild of Brian Tuan Vu. It is a brand which has a familiar feel but a fresh face, like the new girl in school who everyone instantly fancies because she's a refreshing and beautiful change from the status-quo. LATrE sources vintage military garments and re-imagines them ...

Converse x Size?

Converse x Size?

Friday, 03. May 2013

Converse first blessed us with their All Star model back in 1917. Portrayed as a ‘technological marvel’ with an unrivalled ability to grip the floor and outstanding traction, Converse had just created what would become the best selling footwear silhouette in history. Transcending sport to become an iconic item within music, skateboarding and everyday life, the ...

Triads x Tricker’s

Triads x Tricker’s

Friday, 03. May 2013

I got sent these via Steven, the link not the shoes, and we both agreed that we need to stop acting like children and start posting big boy shoes. Then we talked about shit via email and completely forgot about it because being an adult doesn't sound like a whole ...

Stussy Mil Camo Bucket Hat

Stussy Mil Camo Bucket Hat

Thursday, 02. May 2013

Yeah, so I mentioned the whole bucket hat and Wallabee thing a few days ago. So, since that's happening this summer, you should all hop on this link and snap up this camouflage number from Stussy. Why? Because when what's happening "happens," you'll be able to pull the influencer card ...
