Words

Ryan's recent post highlighted some of the up-close-and-personal elements found in the new fall line produced by Nike and Jun Takahashi's Gyakusou International Running Association. Thanks to Honeyee there's now a broader look at the garments and shoes themselves, alongside plenty of behind the scenes imagery from the recent Running Monks campaign, and lots to read; if you read Japanese. I personally think this has been a consistently well executed and interesting collaboration, and I this third season might well be my favourite yet.

Recent Discovery: Kaleidoscope Magazine

—01. The Italian Issue.
—02. On Cinema As Public Space by Manuel Segade.
—03. Like A Whisper by Chris Sharp.
—04. The Suburbs by Michele D'Aurizio.

Words

I've mentioned this before but I quite often find myself arriving late to the party. In this most recent figurative case I have only just begun to pay closer attention to a title I'd seen on various tables and racks over the last several years. Of course I'm now cursing my lazy thumbs, and figuring out how best to play it off like I've been wise to this publications excellence from the get-go. Kaleidoscope Magazine is an international arts and culture quarterly, but I won't attempt to summarize the varied and interesting content that's on offer each issue here. Instead I'll just recommend you find a copy posthaste, and join me in pretending you've had it on your bookshelf all along.

Human Made Corp Hat

—01. Olive herringbone.
—02. Unlined.
—03. 'Bridge between Human and Inhuman'.

Words

Human Made seems to have hit the market in the UK pretty hard this season, although none of the accounts seem to have picked up this great military hat. It's one of the more simple items, and with no exterior branding, nice fabric choice and an ideal size, it's one of my favorites from Nigo's new collection.

—01-04. Imagery from the Wtaps blog.

Words

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Wtaps. I don't own too many of their products as a lot of them don't fit with my general style, but the brand has always resonated with me in some way. I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it has something to do with their overall attention to detail and the depth of reference that surrounds everything they do. If you aren't aware of how much thought goes into the brand, or simply like seeing behind the scenes, the Wtaps blog is a good place to spend some time.

I stumbled across this site while searching for a particular Sassafras shirt, completely forgot about the shirt and spent the next 25 minutes browsing around and dragging images onto my desktop. You should do the same.

Words

I've always wanted to have the SNS Herning NAVAL sweater in a plain color. This fall the piece is available in some classic versions sans stripes. This is a great shade of blue and the silver buttons look perfect on the shoulder.
