Words

Normally you feel like you've seen it all before when a piece you know and love gets a near-constant seasonal makeover, but with the Cameraman Jacket by Nigel Cabourn each new version brings not only a new look, but also a re-examination of what made the jacket so great in the first place. This time around it has been given a tab collar in place of the hood, and large buttons instead of the typical clasp closures. The new look is completed by mixing a beeswax coated cotton upper with Nigel's custom camouflage cotton drill cloth on the bottom half. A print so great, that we used it ourselves for the special make up of another of his classic pieces: the Mallory Jacket, which is available now at the Stockroom.

With a slight increase in temperature and the daylight savings time-change last weekend, spending time outdoors is feeling closer and closer. While we could use little more sunshine on the west coast, it might only be another month or so until backyards and hiking trails see some consistent traffic.

Words

Since we opened our shop, countless women have asked us if we might consider bringing in items that would fit them, whether it be mixed amongst our current selection, or an entire womens shop. While the idea is tempting, its a tough market that we don't know a lot about: but these denim trousers made for Fennica do look rather nice.

The latest issue from Huge magazine is now available, and it marks a new era for the legendary fashion publication. The spring fashion special is a new size, opens from the right and includes more pages than ever. The 'reborn' format is also reflected in the publication going to ten issues per year rather than monthly. Included in the special edition is a nice Engineered Garments editorial, among other beautiful spreads.
