Each season Engineered Garments is one of the brands I'm most excited to see. Their lookbooks are always interesting, exciting and very well executed. The Fall-Winter '13 offering is no different. With a playful mix of patterns, materials and a few new styles, the latest collection is unsurprisingly one of my favorites.

Words

Through Margaret Howell's MHL collection, the brand continues their work with Converse. This spring they released three colours in the classic All-Star model, but the re-arrival of the simple, paired down, Jack Purcell looks especially nice.

Mountain Research Dispatcher Pants

—01. Brown.
—02. Olive.

Words

Mountain Research has really been intriguing me from what I see online with their last few collections. While the brand does seem quite modern and technical, their pieces almost always seem heritage inspired. A real standout for me are these military inspired pants made of cotton duck with a removable belt. The front patch pockets and side slit pockets are a unique and interesting detail. Plus, both colours offered, brown and olive green, are very appealing. Most of the Mountain Research line is nearly impossible to get in North America, so for now I'll have to dream.

To coincide with the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, Sight Unseen founders Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer have helped to organise the NoHo Design District. From May 17-20 they will bring together designers and retailers for an interesting and inspiring mix of mediums and people. After working with Kyle Garner of Sit and Read on our New York store, it only made sense to host the launch of his canvas Sling Chair, which you'll find at our Extra Place location this weekend.

Makr Notebooks

—01. Made in USA.

Words

I first heard about this particular product from Jason at Makr a few years ago. It's taken a long time, and lot of work, for this project to come to fruition, and so I was particularly excited to see these notebooks finally make it into production. I know that great lengths were taken to design Jason's ideal notebook, from the paper, to the cover and the custom elastic band closure; something he can use everyday. Every tiny part of this notebook was carefully considered by Jason and his team, and it comes as a highly recommended everyday essential.

Decho Mountain Hat

—01. Made in Japan.

Words

We've featured many bucket hats at Inventory, but I've still yet to find the perfect one for myself. Decho's wide range of headwear can be a little bit daunting to search through, but after a thorough look, their Mountain Hat seems like it might be one of their best. It's not too deep, the brim is fairly small and the subtle fabric detail around the base looks quite nice.
