"Inspired by founder Nigo’s love of fine tailoring and his time spent with some of the world’s finest tailors on Savile Row (including Huntsman and Anderson & Sheppard), the debut range is a tight capsule collection of suits, shirts, ties, and shoes made to the highest design and production standards. The range embodies two key looks – British classic, and American classic – with all items showing a distinct influence of one or the other."

We're receiving new items at the Stockroom all the time these days and it's becoming more and more difficult to highlight everything. Unless you're actually visiting the store in person some things might pass you by; hopefully these posts help fill in the gaps.

Monitaly Herringbone Pants

—01. Front.
—02. Back.

Words

Not a whole lot I need to say here. It's just another boring product post, another good product that's better than most of them out there. Monitaly has over-dyed the herringbone cotton to the perfect olive green. The sturdy cotton is well suited to the casual nature of the straight leg pants, and nicely accented by the pocket lining. Made in the USA, but not available there as far as I know.

Supreme SS11

It's no secret that Supreme has launched their spring collection preview, and will be releasing the new items in store this week. The collection, as usual, has some very strong points and a nice variety of easy to wear items. Among my favorites are some of the simple stripe tees, shorts, chinos and outerwear. The Liberty print shirting as well looks great. I've been a big fan of floral shirts this season, but I think Supreme has done a nice job to keep them more wearable.

In Stock: Superior Labor Socks

—01. Grey melange.
—02. Tan melange.

Words

For our 11th Inventory Item we worked with Superior Labor to produce some of the finest melange socks around. When we visited them in 2009, I picked up three similar pairs and have worn and washed them countless times since. The quality and comfort is second to none and when we decided to make some of our own, choosing a collaborator was simple. Made from 90% Japanese cotton by craftsman who have been in the same line of work for 40 years, they are knitted on a low gauge machine that was made in Japan during the 60s and 70s. There are less than 100 of these machines currently in use - they are no longer produced as all the parts are handmade, making them too expensive by modern standards. The process of collaboration was one of the easiest and most enjoyable we've been involved in and we're really happy with the results. Our first batch comprises two colourways and they've been selling so well, a second set are now in the works.

—Available at Inventory Stockroom and Dover Street Market

Guest Post: Yoyogi Park by Walter Manning

—01. Article by Walter Manning; owner of Old Faithful Shop.

Words

A few weeks back I was luck enough to travel to Tokyo, Japan. If you are an avid reader of Inventory Magazine, then you are already familiar with the level of quality product that is either produced in Japan or produced specifically for Japan. The shops were easily some of the best I've ever seen: quality product assortment, intriguing merchandising/display and intuitive customer service - they have a keen eye for the details.

One Sunday in particular I was able to hit up the Yoyogi flea market. I arrived early and a lot of people were beginning to set up for the day: spreading out tarps and navajo blankets and either dumping their goods in a large pile or laying them out nicely. 95% of the items for sale were clothes and there were more than a few vendors selling some incredible stuff. Great Pendleton shirts, Red Wing Boots, stacks of Barbour and Sierra Design Jackets - all in really great shape.
