—03. Good year sole.

Words

This light weight Alden Good year sole makes for a good option on the oxford. It's been used frequently in Japan on boots, and also at Blackbird. The low cut oxford suits it nicely and the 'earth' colored oiled suede makes for a nice fall option.

Tricker's Repello Suede Brogue

01

Info

—01. Especially made for TBS.

Words

Tres Bien Shop have received a fresh batch of fall footwear made especially for them by Tricker's. Of the selection, these Repello brogues are definitely my favorites. The scotch guard suede is great for the weather, and still looks just as nice. The comando sole wouldn't be my first choice, but I think it does work nicely with this shoe. All they need is a change of laces and they should be all set.

Engineered Garments Knit Ties

01

Info

—01. Jacquard & Snowflake.

Words

I'm not always a big fan of Engineered Garments ties, but the knit neckwear they made this fall is some of my favorite. The jacquard pattern especially is a bit more subtle than the fair isle ties and it goes great with ginghams and stripes. It was an item that I didn't expect to pick up, but after a couple wears, I'm glad I did.

—01. Navy & burgundy.
—02. Collar detail.
—03. Toggle detail.

Words

While I've always liked duffle coats, I have never owned or worn one myself. Maybe it's because the length doesn't seem to work for me. Whatever the case, the use of navy and burgundy are a nice combination and no details seem to be overdone. Of course the stripes aren't for everyone, but they offer a nice alternative to the classic navy.

Falke Nordic Socks

—01. Indigo.
—02. Grey.

Words

I got some of these Falke Nordic socks from Oi Polloi a few weeks ago, before they sold out, and I am quite pleased with them. They are really soft, a nice thickness and the colors are great. They do fit a bit big, so I would go with the smaller size if you wear anything below a size 12 shoe.

Yuketen Canvas Canoe Pack

01

Info

—01. Olive green canvas.

Words

Yuketen's canvas bags are made with some of the best materials, from the hardware to the fabric to the leather. These simple 2-strap bags are great for daily use, and the nice color options and veggie leather make it tough to choose from.

Post Overalls 'My V.S.O.P. Exhibition'

01

Info

—01. 'Very Special Old Pieces'.

Words

Last week Takeshi and his small team at Post Overalls opened their pop up shop and exhibition at the Nepenthes NY store. Unfortunately I wasn't anywhere near the city, but the concept behind Takeshi's space is quite nice, displaying his very special old pieces, some of which are the inspiration for Post Overalls garments, and some of which he just likes a lot. Along with the clothing garments, Takeshi has produced a book that documents his favorite vintage pieces, only available at Nepenthes.
