Words

Almost every season there's something I see early on, most likely in lookbooks or online, that I pass over on initial examination; only to reassess my opinion when I rediscover the piece in the flesh. The first time I saw this particular vest I wasn't too taken with the hood detail, and so, not being much of a vest wearer in the first place, didn't spend too much time analyzing its appeal. I have, however, spent a moment or two reexamining it recently; and my initial stance is slowly beginning to waver. Although I keep visualizing both outfits and opportunities I might have for the vest itself, I probably won't ever make up my mind which colour I prefer; which luckily for me also means I won't ever have to take back all those misguided things I might have once said.

Oi Polloi have recently released their second edition of their shop/shopping guide for the season. The Pica-Post zine was really nicely done the first time around and looks much the same for No. 2. It's definitely worth snatching if you're spending money online or making your way through Manchester.

Oi Polloi Lo Cut Mocc

Oi Polloi have slowly been filtering their own products to their online store, alongside a strong list of great brands. They are back with another moccasin shoe. The Lo Cut Mocc with a crepe tan sole looks really nice for the summer months ahead. I think the profile of the sole looks really great slimmed down to the size of a boat shoe sole. The treatment on the leather also is perfect. My vintage Top-Siders are almost the same color exactly and it's perfect. They go with everything, have some nice character and welcome the daily scuffs and marks that make them your own. *Upon second look, they appear to be sold out and I'm not sure if these are a new version of what they released in the fall althought they are in the latest stock section of the site. If not, they should restock. Also, please let us see a larger picture of products on the website. Thanks.
