—01. McCoy's King.
—02. S.F. State.

Words

Joe McCoy make some of the best t-shirts. It's a prime example of a Japanese company mastering a simple process from America's past. A simple garment, very well made, quality from the cotton to the print. They offer a nice touch of color, that's still easy to wear and although its a lot to spend on a t-shirt, its one that you should have for a while to come - and maybe even become your baby blue or golden boy.

New Balance H710F

01

Info

—01. Grey suede upper.

Words

New Balance is great - for the classics - but its not too often the have a new colorway or a different model that I find overly appealing. These hiking shoes however have that classic appeal and clean silhouette, but the simplicity of the grey suede on the off-white sole make them just about as good as they can get.

Preview: Batten Sportswear

01

Info

—01. Launching next spring.

Words

It's not that often that a new brand comes along that I really like. From the product to the people to the branding, its difficult to get it right. Last week in New York, one of our friends showed us his new brand. Batten Sportswear isn't breaking new ground in terms of the fashion world, but the story and products are well thought through, really nicely made and offer a clean and concise perspective and interpretation of American sportswear.

Info

—01. Tonal oxford.

Words

Four Horsemen recently released their second shoe with Viberg Boot. The local connection seems to be working nicely, but this oxford is quite the departure from the first collaboration between the two. This brogue oxford uses a nice tonal look, simple detailing and the well known and loved Vibram Christy sole.
