Words

While popular with many, I know some people who aren't particularly fond of a hooded vest, feeling it an unnecessary addition to an otherwise classic garment. The Hooded Italian Vest by Crescent Down Works covers the bases for both camps, by offering all the classic stylings you would come to expect from a 60/40 down vest, with the addition of a removable hood.

—01. Hand made in USA.

Words

In the land of fine footwear collaborations between Alden, Tricker's et al, there isn't a lot left out there to do. Subtly is the key, as it is easy to get carried away with wild combinations that will be out of date by the end of the season. The Bureau have ventured to come up with their own trademark moc toe shoe. The result is a classy, casual, nice looking shoe made by Alden.

—01. The reinterpretation of a classic.
—02. Made in Italy.

Words

The fine folks over at The Bureau have just received a small reorder of Ten C product, and the standout for me is this Olive Field Jacket. The design is extremely close to the original 1960's US Army version, and the improvements are subtle but welcome: a breathable but water resistant custom made fabric, and a few small tweaks in fit and detail. If you don't already have something like this in your wardrobe, this might be the only garment of its kind that you'll ever need.
