The second cap from Outlier is again a collaborative effort with Victor Osborn. Having worked with wool for winter, this time the chosen fabric is waxed canvas. Wind proof, water proof, sturdy. And, as with all waxed cotton, built to age quite nicely. Black, tan, olive and navy are all available.

There’s room in this world for another zipper wallet. Sure, you may be fashionable and catch the eye of the Japanophile with that colorful CdG wallet but let’s get serious – not everyone needs one. So look around for something to make you unique. Here’s a start - Property of… Jackson Tri Wallet. Simple in leather and half the price of the latter. Trust me, I love CdG, but carrying their wallets solo doesn’t make you cool. Be yourself. You can get this and the CdG at Blackbird or other fine retailers.

Designer Issey Miyake has cleaned house with Dyson Vacuums a few years back. The collaboration yielded not only product some interesting takes on gallery  and runway shows. Now for the Australian market, the DC16 Issey Miyake is being issues in pink. How proper. (via supernews)

Brogue boots have been enjoying a renaissance of late, with younger designers turning to the design and using it in their shoes, but none of these versions were as good as the originals. Thankfully these Grenson boots are available online for a reasonable price – and they also come with a free shoe tree. Get these from Andersons of Durham.

We showed you the COS accessories range yesterday, but now we can give you a look into their mainline collection. The collection features several strong pieces, including a cape – which looks to be growing in popularity lately – parkas, flecked wool trousers and a concealed button coat. Like always, their lookbook features a strong look, but their pieces could be made to fit a range of styles. Take a look at the rest of the collection after the jump.

We don’t usually make predictions, but we’re going to stick our neck out and say that Duffels will be big next season. This is purely by default though, as every other classic coat has already been brought back. This Ralph Lauren Rugby duffel is exactly the style that we like – slimmed down, contrast colour toggles and a nicely sized hood. Get it from the Rugby store.

Inhabitant drops images of the new Mercedes hybrid vehicle which looks a lot like something out of Back to the Future 3. “In what is clearly an attention-grabbing move, Daimler today has just unveiled the F-CELL Roadster, a wacky-looking vehicle that is a ‘hybrid’ in more ways than one. Literally the roadster is fitted with a 1.2 kW hybrid drive – one that allows the F-CELL to reach a top speed of 15 mph and achieve an operating range of 217 miles.”

Our friends at HB give commentary on Japan’s N/ Hoolywood Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. “Often referencing to a re-occuring theme of traditional Americana influence throughout their seasonal selections, Japanese contemporary label N. Hoolywood looks towards similar principles for a new collection heading into the Fall/Winter season. The brand draws inspiration from Sky Scapers, showcasing a mixture of black and grey tones amongst linear patterns and designs.” (photos via fs)
