In the last of Our Legacy posts, we can take a look at their shirt collection. Take note we haven’t posted the full collection of shirts, so you’ll have something to look forward to when they release their collection styled up and all that jazz. While the corduroy shirt (pictured far right) won’t be to everyone’s tastes, the collection does a good job of subverting some classic shirt styles. We’d never thought a contrast collar banker’s shirt would look wearable, but they’ve proved us wrong.

Take a leap to see the rest of the collection.

Time for our obligatory ‘you can’t get this without the help of someone in Japan’ post. This Journal Standard is made from what seems to be the growing material of choice, Jersey. Material aside, we also like the fact that it has a collar that isn’t shawl (we still love shawl necks by the way, but we can’t have our wardrobe overrun by it) and the contrast piping. Get it if you can from Style Cruise.

Take a look at detailed shots and different colourways after the jump.

We do love suede shoes, but they’re not the best shoes for erratic weather. If you get caught in the rain with a pair on, you’re likely to ruin them – as this writer has learned first hand. Despite this, we still recommend these Grenson desert boots. The shade is somewhat out of the norm (as in it’s not dark brown or navy) and will mix perfectly with any number of trouser colours. Just remember to check there’s no clouds in the sky before you rock them. Get them from Forward.

01. Established Sons Quilt Seating by the Bouroullec Brothers

“At the 2009 Salone del Mobile furnishings show in Milan, designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have introduced the Quilt seating they have created for British manufacturer Established & Sons.” (porhomme)

02. Villa Moda by Marcel Wanders in Bahrain

“Villa Moda in Bahrain,  is a multibrand luxury fashion store founded by Sheikh Majed, one of the driving forces behind fashion in the Middle East. For the interior design of Villa Moda, Marcel Wanders found inspiration in the traditional souk, creating a melting pot of cultures full of surprising details.” (yatzer)

“Athanasia Psaraki shared with us this house for a skater in Athens. Take a look at this impressive interior work.” (archdaily)

04. Happy Birthday Selfridges

“On May 1st, Selfridges, the high-end UK department store, celebrates its 100th birthday in style. Over the last century, Selfridges has remained on the edge of fashion and culture by collaborating with luminaries like John and Yoko, Salvador Dali and Vivienne Westwood.” (joshspear)

05. PSE TAC 15 Crossbow

” ‘TAC-15 ‘Tactical Assault Crossbow’, the sort of crossbow designed for when aliens invade from another dimension. It actually replaces the upper receiver from an AR-15 so you can swap between assault rifle and crossbow with a little tinkering.” #weareintrouble (likecool)

A nice re-interpretation of the classic Gladstone medicine bag from Bill Amberg. Available in black, brown, and tan, the medicine bags are wide bodied and made to house your paperwork, laptop, tongue depressors, morphine, and more. The classic briefcases are made from “made of English bridle leather and lined in calf suede” and available in three sizes.

Men.style drops a nice look at the forthcoming Bernhard Wilhelm for Mykita Sunglass collection. Metal temples frame in the very bright colored lenses. They remind me of the late 90’s look. As men.style puts it, “so bright they threaten to outshine [the sun].” Bold.

The new CitizenSeven line made in the UK loves the lucky number. They are launching their initial offering with a limited edition collection consisting of “seven” wears. “For Autumn/Winter 09/10, CitizenSeven have created, in their own words, “seven violent classics”… lay down the style of the CitizenSeven man in an easy, accessible way.  These pieces will be available to buy on the website and will be a limited edition run of 50, each one being numbered to ensure individuality.” 

The line is a basic one but with a touch of premium. “They include the perfect chino, harrington, jogger, marl sweatshirt, oxford shirt, and marl grey tee.” Locally made in the UK, the look is simple and clean.

Here we go. Dunhill extends their brand to a limited edition surfboard designed with the help of legendary surfer Jed Noll and produced in conjunction with Pukas. “The nine-foot board is available with artwork featuring Dunhill’s trademark Bulldog – perfect for providing a very British edge to the swell.” Buy them in sets of three for around 2800$US per board.

The First Tycoon: The Epic Tale of Cornelius Vanderbilt receives favorable review in today’s New York Times. Author T.J. Styles traces Vanderbilt’s life with “real sympathy for the old devil.” A revisionist history hitting on economics, family life, and even the occult. The makings of a riveting true life tale? Most certainly.

Buy The First Tycon from Amazon.

The NYT included a 1870 cartoon depicting Vanderbilt racing Jim Fisk of the Eerie Railroad. So wonderful, it had to be included after the jump.

The Trilby will never go out of style. Whether it’s rocked by Brit rockers or your girlfriend, the look of this hat’s curved shape remains a vital component in your hip lifestyle. Rep the K By Karl Lagerfeld Trilby and prepare for shine. Served with or without a cigarette. (asos)
