Journal Standard Hooded Jacket

04 June 2009, 13.30 | Posted in Fashion | No comments »

journal standard jacket 01 Journal Standard Hooded Jacket

What’s that, you say? you want more pieces you have to go to extreme lengths to get hold of? Well, you’re in luck. This Journal Standard jacket is a great spring/summer jacket and would do well on a humid day that has the odd shower. The drawstring is a great touch and the buttons are contrasting, which is important to us detail lovers. Apart from the camel and beige colourways pictured above it also comes in blue, purple and green. Get it if you can from Lumine.

Check out different colourways and detailed shots after the jump.

Aquascutum puts workforce into consultation

aquascutum consultation Aquascutum puts workforce into consultation

Aquascutum’s future looks shaky as their entire workforce of over 300 was put into consultation. This follows chief executive Kim Winser’s depature from the company a few weeks ago after years of consecutive losses. The consultation is dependent on whether Chinese trading company YGM trading pursue their bid of the company, but if it doesn’t go through with the deal the feeling is that Aquascutum may be another high profile fashion casualty. #moneygeddonstrikesagain (Drapers)

01. Ten Years After Napster, Musicians Are Still Getting Screwed

“Ten years ago yesterday, Napster revolutionized commercial music by – we’re all grownups; let’s call a spade a spade – democratizing piracy.” (readwrite)

02. OLGGA’s Portable Log Cabin Conceals a Sleek Modern Interior (above)

“The mention of log cabins usually brings to mind thoughts of Abraham Lincoln chopping wood in a flannel shirt – hardly the image of sleek modern design. So, when we heard about OLGGA Architect’s two-piece transportable log cabin – the Flake House…” (inhabitant)

03. UNIQLO Megastore by Curiosity

Curiosity has completed the design of the Uniqlo Megastore that has opened near Shinjuku station in Tokyo. The new design is strongly influenced by the Tokyo urban landscape and the large entrance, marked with three display towers, recreates a mini-Shinjuku city.” (ad)

04. Universe Revolved

“To form the letters of Univers Revolved, a simple geometric formula was applied to the capital letters of the widely used Univers font. With the help of a 3-D computer program, each letter was revolved 360° around a vertical axis drawn at its left-most point.” (typeneu)

05. AT&T CruiseCast in-car TV finally launches nationwide

“Look, we know all about desperate — those youngsters are cute and all, but any self-respecting parent starts having some seriously evil thoughts about three hours in to any road trip. In a presumed effort to keep you off of the evening news and in good standing with your relatives, AT&T is launching its CruiseCast in-car TV service today.” (engadget)

Malin + Goetz Cannabis Candle

malin goetz cabbabis candles Malin + Goetz Cannabis Candle

Blackbird has of Malin + Goetz’s Cannabis Candle. Now, posting this has nothing to do with attending my first Phish show (and maybe my last) but for the simple reason that they describe cannabis as such,

Cannabis is modern and seductive.

It sure is but in this case the cannabis is synthesized into a candle form with uplifting “intoxication and general aphrodisia.” Nice.

The display wall running down the left-hand side of the store comprises an assembly of countless steel rods normally used to support heavy-duty shelving.”

Edifice Suede Sneakers

03 June 2009, 19.00 | Posted in Fashion, Shoes | 1 comment »

edifice suede sneakers 00 Edifice Suede Sneakers

Three excellent colorways from Edifice for their suede upper trainers or shoes depending on how you see it. Truth be told, the rubber “athletic” sole is what sells them as a trainer, but the upper is so well finished that you may be able to sneak them in with your blazer. Scuff up the white sole if you think it’s too white for your tastes. Three fine options mixing a classic look with athletic comfort. (zozo)

Some fresh new looks from Stansfield. This reversible nylon windbreaker offers an interesting patchwork of blues on various panels. The cuff and collars are finished in black ribbing. Stansfield gear is always quality. We’re pretty sure this reversible is up there too. (danieljenkins)
