As some of you know, Inventory is preparing to open its first shop in the coming weeks. The process of printing Issue 02 and getting the space ready has been strenuous but fun, and definitely exciting. As you get closer to finishing this kind of project, there's always small details to address and things to find that will look great and improve the space. Some of them we've got, others we are yet to find. It will always be a process, but we're looking forward to announcing the opening date very soon.

Re-Stocked: S.N.S. Herning STARK Cardigan

The STARK cardigan was first issued by S.N.S. Herning in 1971 and is still one of the companies best selling pieces. It's weight, fit and unique feel all contribute to it be one of the best sweaters you could buy. Made on the old German machines Soren Skyt imported to Demark years ago, the intriquette patterns, metal buttons and high collar have stood up to many winters past and will continue to be one of the brand's most sought after pieces. This fall the Olde Blue colour was introduced in very limited numbers to select retailers and we were fortunate enough to get our hands on the sweater in this great blue shade. The first round sold out very quickly and I didn't even get one for myself, this time I'm not making the same mistake, hopefully you don't either. — Available at the Inventory Stockroom, $330

INVENTORY Number 01 Fall–Winter 2009

With the launch of INVENTORY we aimed to go a step further than h(y)r collective. It wasn't really supposed to be a re-brand, rather it's a new brand built around our biggest venture yet, a printed magazine. Volume 01 Number 01 is due to arrive in our hands for release at the end of next week. The magazine has taken a lot of hard work and effort from a (very) small group of passionate individuals and it has turned into something special right before us. I don't want to get too far into how important the project is to me personally right now, instead I just want to let you know a little about it to begin with. The magazine will be retailed in the Inventory Stockroom, for $20 USD – as well as at select retailers around the world. The bi-annual magazine has been produced not just as a catalogue of what's happening right now, but as a way of telling stories and curating a certain aesthetic, product and feeling. It carries a higher price tag not only because we feel the magazine's content holds value, but also because the tangible product itself comes at a cost as we chose to print here at home in Canada. With little advertising, buying it is the absolute best way you can support our work and efforts to create something good. The focus has always been to produce something we would love to find and see ourselves, and it's been wonderful to see the reaction over the last couple of years. We are very proud to present the first offering from Inventory Magazine this fall. – Number 01 features; Yuketen, Willo Perron, Nigel Cabourn, Mister Freedom and Engineered Garments. There are focus articles on Duluth Pack and Chris Gibbs, and we've featured Collection No. 9 from Nom de Guerre in an editorial spread, among others. There are 140 pages of 100% original photography, words and thoughts – and we hope you enjoy it. Thank you to everyone involved and who has supported the making of this magazine.
