Our most recent order from Ebbets Field Flannels has just arrived from Seattle. The American made, vintage-style caps feature a grey baseball wool with two different accent colours. This season we opted for a more subtle contrast, using a dark charcoal grey and soft camel on the brim and button.

Birkenstock Maine

—01. Mocca suede.

Words

I'm not very familiar with the Maine shoe by Birkenstock, but the full back and mocca suede makes for a unique style. Along the same lines as the London, having the full heel makes for a more practical shoe around the city without giving up the comfort of a Boston.

Stone Island 30 Website

—01. 30 years of innovation.

Words

One of the great things about Inventory is working with your mates. It's a rare and cherished thing, truth be told. Having said that, there are certain times when it puts a strain on your relationships, like last summer for instance; when two members of the team were jammy enough to be in the right place at the right time, and were able to attend the phenomenal 30 years of Stone Island exhibition in Florence. Luckily for muggins, the Italian brand has finally launched a website to celebrate the event; and it includes almost enough video and photographic stimulation to allow me to consider letting bygones be bygones.

Alvar Aalto Desk by Artek

—01. Made in Sweden.

Words

eBay doesn't usually turn up too many good vintage Aalto pieces, but this desk recently popped up online. The age and wear is just about perfect, the wood having turned a beautiful golden colour. It's a good size for a small apartment and it's difficult to find a small desk with useful built-in storage.
