The Journal Magazine Entry #31 – A Look Inside

28 January 2012, 00.30 | Posted in Books & Magazines | No comments »

The Journal Magazine Entry #31 - A Look Inside

Entry #31 of The Journal, based in Brooklyn, NY is a strong continuation of the Michael Nevin and team’s view into all things worth documenting. With the help of numerous contributors, The Journal collects together everything from writings, performance and photography, as well as a very strong zine review and selection – a topic very close to my heart. We offer select looks from inside entry #31 for you to decide. In many respect, the periodical itself follows that classic zine format or bringing together a mash

If you have not picked up The Journal in the past, we strong suggest you take a look at this wonderful publication. They are documents worth viewing and re-viewing as all good books and periodical deserve. Buy your copy online at Thejournalinc.com.

First Look | CREEP by Hiroshi Awai Autumn/Winter 2012 – Looks

28 January 2012, 00.01 | Posted in Fashion | No comments »

creep hiroshi awai mens fall winter 2012 01 First Look | CREEP by Hiroshi Awai Autumn/Winter 2012   Looks

Hiroshi Awai’s CREEP line is based up in Canada and designed with Japanese sensibilities. What that means is left to discussion. What we know is that season after season, CREEP offers looks and cuts that pull heavy from the designer’s background and, more importantly, the collection is distributed well throughout North America. The fleece, above, is a great look that pulls from those classic 90’s mountain garbs – modernized of course. CREEP works.

J. Crew Ludlow Suit Shop – Opening in TriBeCa

J. Crew Ludlow Suit Shop - Opening in TriBeCa

If you’re in the vicinity of TriBeCa next month, get ready to have fun saying: “Honey, I’m off to the haberdashery.”

That is when J. Crew plans to open The Ludlow Shop, a 2,100-square-foot space boasting an assortment of their Ludlow suits along with Thomas Mason shirts, Italian leather shoes, and ties. Tailors and suit wizards will be at the ready to fit the suit to the man, and then monogram the suit with the man’s initials, should it come to that. The eminently wearable—and adaptable (survey the ad campaign after the jump)—collection tops out at $1,500 for a Ludlow made from Italian cashmere.

As for the slim-fitting two-piece at the center of all the excitement, it debuted three years ago at The Liquor Store, also in the neighborhood, but demand has grown to the point that it now needs its own mailing address. -jt

Le Bazar Des Poilus – A Pop-up store at Hotel Jules & Jim in Paris

le bazar des poilus 3 Le Bazar Des Poilus   A Pop up store at Hotel Jules & Jim in Paris

Culling inspiration from Kubrick’s Paths of Glory, Le Bazar Des Poilus—a pop-up store at Hotel Jules & Jim in Paris—escaped the grim realities of WWI trench warfare with a few finer style points still strapped to the back. Vintage shoes, boots and sneakers, workwear and army issue fatigues, coats and woolens all held court at this collaboration between French online lifestyle mag Hell’s Kitchen and Leonard Vintage Shop in Lyons. Read all about it here … if you can read French.

We’d like to get our hands on the “Belt On” Levis Casuals pictured after the jump, but something tells us that the $4.98 price tag is as old as the pants. -jt

Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones – The New Standard?

27 January 2012, 19.00 | Posted in Gadgets, electronics | No comments »

sennheiser rs220 wireless headphones 1 Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones   The New Standard?

Sennheiser is touting their new RS 220 ($600) Wireless headphones as playing in the same league as their Sennheiser HD 600 Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones   The New Standard? series wired headphones – which themselves are considered industry standard in entry to mid-level audiophile headphones. The idea that a wireless headphone such as the RS 220 could compete on this level is a high step forward in technology itself. The drive inside the Rs220 is actually the same driver in the HD650. That in itself is big, big news.

The conversation regarding the Sennheiser RS220 v. Sennheiser HD600 has already begun on the fanatic forums. We ourselves are desperately awaiting a review pair to compare to our own set of HD 650 Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones   The New Standard?, just one small step up from the 600. The RS220 comes priced at around $600, just about $250-$275 more than the wired HD600. If they can indeed pull off the high end sound of their wired brothers, the RS220 may be this year’s headphone game changer.

For an excellent Sennheiser wireless headphone for half the money, consider the Sennheiser RS 180 Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones   The New Standard?.

CAMO (Italy) Autumn/Winter 2012 - Full Looks

Slightly early, we know, for a full look, but Italy’s CAMO could not resist sharing. As we mentioned from Pitti, the new CAMO collection works around the “Casino” theme based around those all important chips.

CAMO’s “Casino Collection” asks for you to “bet on yourself.” The four main colors of casino chips influence more than 100 garments in the collection – their largest collection yet. Be it a card game inside your home, pub, or casino, CAMO reminds us that risk is important.

Oi Polloi Clarks Wallabees – Unicorn Leather in Dijon and Wasabi

clarks wallabee oipolloi specials 6 Oi Polloi Clarks Wallabees   Unicorn Leather in Dijon and Wasabi

That’s right… unicorn leather. The new Oi Polloi Clarks Wallabees use what is known as “unicorn leather” – “the name given to elk hides by the specialist tannery tasked with producing the raw materials.” Elk and deer hides are super supple and these Clarks will be no exception. Choose from two colorways – dijon and wasabi – both of which may be some of best we have seen in 2012 so far. The green hue (wasabi) elk leather on the Wallabee is impressive.

Available in limited numbers from Oi Polloi. #need

Rolling Stone Italy Debuts Rock & Roll Style, Vol. 1

27 January 2012, 16.30 | Posted in Books & Magazines, Fashion | 4 comments »

rolling stone rock roll style issue 01 1 Rolling Stone Italy Debuts Rock & Roll Style, Vol. 1

One of the take homes from this past Pitti was a strong periodical from the minds behind Rolling Stone Italia.

Specially produced for the Italian reader during Pitti and Milan Fashion Week, Rolling Stone Italia’s Rock & Roll Style, Volume 1 is a well thought out men’s fashion and lifestyle publication that is of very high production. Photography and topics inside the publication remain current and tend to the needs of the Italian gentleman reading them. Inside readers will find everything from fashion tips, reviews, to detailed schematics of Brooks Saddles and Victorinox knives.

Props should be given to the staff at Rolling Stone Italy for putting this issue together. Clearly they worked overtime in bringing this special project to the market. It looks fantastic as you can see from my well read copy above.

If Rock and Roll Style featured split Italian/English text, it would give many of the men’s magazines on the market today a serious run for their money. Did we mention that it is a free publication?
