Words

That sakura indigo pattern seems to be making its way around New York in the past couple of seasons, but I don't mind, its great. I've been hunting for it myself, but haven't been able to find the supplier since seeing The Hillside, FSC and Wayne Pate use it. J.Crew have found the swatch card however and made some neat little pocket squares. Both indigo dyed fabrics look great and would be a nice accent to pretty much any cotton garment I'd wear.

Edit: Hillside also have made pocket squares using this fabric, this season, which are now available at Context.

Red Wing Work Oxford

—01. Work oxford in rough out leather.

Words

Red Wing is one of my favorite footwear brands, but I've found it challenging to get some of their boots and shoes lately. The work oxford particularly caught my eye when it released at the Rugged Museum. It's a great shoe, with a rugged aesthetic, but its not too heavy. Now that its released in a rough out leather, I am happy the timing worked with our first delivery from Red Wing. Besides the classic moc toe and chukka, we're happy to be one of the few shops to carry the work oxford.

—01. Burberry cloth fabric.

Words

One of the best new styles in Daiki's last Woolrich collection is the Yosemite jacket. It comes in a khaki Burberry cloth fabric, which is lightweight, and nice for the spring, but ideal for layering the rest of the year. The jacket is just starting to hit Woolen Mills retailers now, starting with Nepenthes in Japan.
