Stussy just released a very special new piece, the Stussy Leather Mad Biker jacket. The classic biker leather jacket is made of 100% cow leather in premium quality and features a Thinsulate inslulation. They also gave the jacket a used look. All in all a very special piece that is now available in very limited quantities.

It is nice seeing Stussy taking an unexpected direction once in a while. In this case the outcome is a functional high quality jacket. Of course going into such extremes is not everybodies thing, but if you make something this special it does not have to be. The one who knows, appreciates! After the jump. more pictures.

With Mongolian barbeques, the question isn't always chicken or beef. Now that Puma and W hotels have teamed up to launch a Mongolian shoe barbeque, it's also a question of leather or suede, red or purple, as W Hotel guests now have the opportunity to create their own custom-made Puma shoes in the privacy of their rooms.

Inspired by the tradition of creating personalized meals from a variety of ingredients, Puma's collection for W Hotels enables guests to become involved in the art of shoemaking; they can pick from a wide assortment of pre-cut materials to design their own individualized pair of shoes. Unique accoutrements, including special W shoelaces and insoles, add to the ultimate practical souvenir. The concept launched at Puma stores in 2005 but a portable tray of options has been created especially for easy room delivery, which W's exclusive Whatever/Whenever concierge service will transport. After selecting a desired combination, guests can go online and order their shoes at www.puma.com/whotels. The site will launch on November 14, marking the start of the one-year collaboration between W and Puma. Prices begin at $100 and guests will receive their customized kicks within six weeks of ordering.

Definitely an interesting move from Puma and a nice way of branding their Mongolian BBQ in a more high end market.

Dr. Romanelli and Andrew Brandou will be showcasing their latest Surgical Strike Collection and paintings at London's Maharishi starting November 22nd.

"Working together in a military theme, the pair has each created a passionate body of work meditating on the culture of war from uniquely different angles. Inspired by his love of vintage military garments, Romanelli has taken a wide range of iconic uniform pieces from several countries and reimagined them as high-end luxury apparel far removed from their original utilitarian purposes. Meanwhile, painter Andrew Brandou has created a new series of works reinvisioning the world of legendary wildlife artist John James Audobon as populated by a new breed of fashion-conscious and heavily armed animals." Via Supertouch.

The pieces created by Dr. Romanelli in this collection are simply stunning, as they are not only superior quality, but each piece also tells a story. That mixed with the artwork of Andrew Brandou makes an exciting exhibition that you should not miss.

The inspiration behind the collection was born when a Fred Perry designer unearthed a vintage Fred Perry t-shirt…for an Action Man!

Using this shirt for style references the classic Fred Perry shirt was ‘supersized’ and lead to the Little Big Action Man titles. Key details include oversized collar and cuffs, thicker tipping, large press stud fastenings and a heavier knitted pique styled in a slim-fit silhouette.

There are three items in the collection all iconic pieces from the Fred Perry collection; the traditional polo shirt, the track jacket and the classic tennis jumper. All styles carry the authentic 1950’s Fred Perry laurel worked in a heritage palette - shades of snow white and tartan green.

This limited edition collection will be available from Thursday 8^th November from oki-ni.com and from Fred Perry Laurel stores world-wide.
