Beretta Waxwear Field Jacket

21 September 2009, 13.25 | Posted in Fashion | 1 comment »

selectism - Baretta Waxwear Field Jacket

Functional features are the key to Beretta’s Waxwear Field Jacket. Ambidextrous recoil patches, upper hand hook pockets, and reinforcements to the sleeves all work to allow the best possible garment performance. Construction, as well, is all about arm movement.

Available at fine gun shops like the Grouse Perch in Old Saybrook, CT.

H By Harris Quilted Leather Backpack

selectism - h-by-harris-quilted-backpack-01

H by Harris launched the way most collections do these days – under a tidal wave of blog love. Thankfully, they’ve also found their way into a store that sells their wares online (so that’s DSM out of the equation). You should know the drill by now with H by Harris; clean lines, simple design, quilted leather – the whole shebang. It’s not cheap, but what did you expect? (Browns)

Take a look at detailed pics after the leap.

Selectism - Henrik Vibskov Bolivia Pattern Knit Gloves

Many has longed for the Vibskov designed scarves over the last few years and you can be sure they’ll be more on the way, but we’re thinking another individual may be more interested in these Bolivian Pattern Knit Gloves. Shown to you for review, we admire the use of color on the wool and silk finished gloves which extend high above the wrist for a full fit. When it gets cold and you tuck in that glove under your sleeve, you’ll most likely be warmer than the guy next to you. Girlfriend friendly as well. (vstore)

Beauty & Youth Tweed Jacket

19 September 2009, 18.30 | Posted in Fashion | 2 comments »

Selectism - Beauty & Youth Tweed Jacket

A slimming tweed jacket from Japan’s Beauty & Youth. There is a certain nostalgia in this classic heritage piece. Taking the best bits from older durable Tweed jackets, Beauty & Youth complements the past with their take on this field coat. The cuff closure collar and wrists are a positive as well as the well sized front pockets – larger enough to carry your ammo or a couple of sandwiches for a stroll in the woods. (zozo)

Selectism - Peace Frog x Indian Motorbike

01. DUBWAR with Mary Ann Hobbs and Pinch TONIGHT in NYC!

Join the Selectism team in NYC  this evening for the DUBWAR monthly at LOVE Niteclub.

“Bristol UK’s DJ Pinch is responsible for creating some of the deepest, darkest, most innovative bass music ever produced…Mary Anne Hobbs has worked tirelessly to introduce listeners worldwide to the freshest underground electronic music through her groundbreaking radio show on BBC Radio 1. She was an early supporter of the dubstep sound through her seminal Dubstep Warz special on Radio One in 2006″ (love)

02. Supersize Cowboys Stadium With a Helping of Sprawl

“…With a $1.15 billion price tag and a flying saucer-like form, the stadium’s design mercifully avoids the aw-shucks, small-town look that has become common in many American stadiums over the years. There’s no brick cladding, no fake wrought ironwork, no infantilizing theme restaurants that seem as if they had been commissioned by Uncle Walt for the Happiest Place on Earth.” (nyt)

03. Video | Deconstructing Sgt. Pepper

“Each of four original master tracks is isolated and shown in a different colour.” Take a listen to the individual instrumentation from this legendary The Beatles track. (youtube)

04. Peace Frog x Indian Motorbike (above)

“The customization comes out of a small shop in Kumamoto, Japan called Peace Frog. Originally unveiled at the not-to-miss New Order Motorcycle Show in Kobe, Japan, the one-of-a-kind bike features a sidevalve engine that puts out about 250cc’s. The raw look is very attractive but we highly doubt the seat provides much comfort during a long ride.” (coolhunting)


NYT | Good Fit for Body and Budget

Selectism - NYT | Good Fit for Body and Budget

NYT’s Eric Wilson’s story on budgeting at New York Fashion Week is an interesting read. “Designers are doing what they can to lower prices from the ridiculous levels of the last decade, using lesser fabrics and less of them. And some who are just starting out are trying to distinguish themselves with price. A new men’s line called Bespoken, for example, focuses on high-quality tailoring at prices that would match Jil Sander or Gucci only when the latter are on sale. Shirts cost about $300, jackets around $500 and a suit is $1,100 — not exactly J. Crew prices, but not exactly offensive, either…”

Selectism - Ernst Benz Great Circle Chronoscope Instrument Series Watches

A new limited series of “instruments” have arrived from Ernst Benz. “This new collection of timepieces is inspired by Ernst Benz’s original aircraft instrumentation. In the continual effort to tell the story of Ernst Benz and the precision aviation instruments the company is renowned for,… Benz, is introducing a new dial and set of hands reminiscent of the original mid-century design that inspired the cockpit gauges Mr. Benz produced in the 1960s and 70s.” Two different dials are available. “One being matte as in the original aircraft version for legibility and the other being made of carbon fibre mesh, a material often found in aerospace applications.” (timezone)
