Cosmic Wonder Tasmanian Wool Knit

—01. Also available in Gray and Natural.

Words

I’m almost positive that this is a women’s sweater, but that’s not stopping me from entertaining the notion of jumping apparel gender lines to sport such a beautiful garment. The finishing at the collar and hem grabbed me from the outset, and I’m sure many similarly inclined men and women would appreciate these understated embellishments on such an easy to wear V-neck. Produced from specially sourced Tasmanian wool, it also underlines the incredible job Cosmic Wonder does at adhering to an environmentally ethical approach.

Online Feature: Sight Point (for Leo Castelli)

—01. Cor-Ten steel.

Words

Earlier in the year I had the chance to revisit the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. When I was last there, Richard Serra’s Sight Point (for Leo Castelli) had been dismantled to make way for improvements to the Museumplein. Not this time though; divesting myself of all the baggage that comes with art history, I had one of the most moving experiences I've ever had with a piece of sculpture, contemplating this gargantuan geometric form with fresh eyes.

—01. Made in Japan.

Words

A classic for decades, the US Navy Hat is still a surprisingly hard item to find with good proportions, in nice fabrics. Those things are obviously subjective, but I do think that orSlow make one of the best options out there. This fall their seasonal staple comes in a very wearable dark gray cotton.

Cav Empt Denim Jacket

—01. 12oz denim.

Words

The denim jacket isn't an item that immediately springs to mind when you think of Cav Empt, yet this version from their current collection feels like a successful reinterpretation of the classic staple. A traditional short body remains, but most of the front buttons are covered, flap chest pockets have been used, and a couple of pieces of characteristic branding add a modern feeling to complete the well-balanced update.
