selectism - wolverine 100 mile autumn 2010

We previewed the handsome Addison boot from Wolverine’s 1000 Mile Collection back in late January, and are now able to share it’s low-cut brother – the Bradford. This shoe is part of the autumn 1000 Mile Collection, which expands the line beyond the original boot and also includes the Gentleman, Garrison, and Gentry sub-lines.

For ladies hankering for some heritage based footwear, Wolverine’s got you covered as well this autumn.

Selectism - How to Make a Chicago-Style Hot Dog

02. Mark Bernath talks about the “Write the Future” ad from Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam

“Luckily, Mark Bernath, the co-creative director for ‘Write the Future’ from Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam decided to humor me and answer some of them. There are a millions details in the ad that entertain me, from Focus 70s hit ‘Hocus Pocus’ playing during the Rooney bit, to the sudden selling of “Ron’s Samba Robics” on infomercial TV, to Homers timely ‘Do’h!.’ This ad isn’t just one idea, it’s one hundred little ideas, in one single ad.” (adland)

03. How to Make a Chicago-Style Hot Dog (above)

“The Chicago Hot Dog is, perhaps, one of the most improbable food combinations in the world. We do know this: it shouldn’t work. A towering, precipitous bundle, loaded up with so many condiments that it’s twice the volume of the dog itself. It threatens to fall apart, to be so absurd it forgets its provenance as a hot dog. It’s misguided, it’s madness. Yet it’s mad enough to succeed brilliantly.” (tpc)

04. The Great Salami Caper

“In the late 1980s, while making efforts to move to New York City, I came up with the winning ad campaign for Hebrew National Kosher Salami. Only I didn’t win.” (zeldmantwitter)

Aznom Land Rover Defender

Selectism - Aznom Land Rover Defender

Autoblog brings a vehicle mod to the Defender which indeed makes it better. I need this. “Produced essentially unchanged since 1983, the Defender is the very definition of the go-anywhere off-road workhorse, a favorite of military and expeditions worldwide. Leave it to the Italians, then, to give the British truck an extra dose of style… A customization atelier best known for their Mini conversions and that outrageous custom Corvette, Aznom has given the Defender a similar visual treatment to the Abarth 500C, with a matte two-tone white and black paintjob with red detailing and front and rear bumpers made of carbon fiber. The interior has also been decked out in orange-tan leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber trim with Sparco racing buckets. And underneath the hood.”

Titelmedia Staff 2010 World Cup Predictions and Thoughts

Selectism - Titelmedia Staff 2010 World Cup Predictions and Thoughts

(photo: Guradianflickr)

We have never had an easier of a time as this to get the staff of Titel (that’s HS, HSbSL, RC, CR) to respond to a request – ever. Dare we say  it brought us all just a little closer together even though we know that the coming six weeks will be full of scornful response and unsettlingly gestures of hate?

The point is, the World Cup is a binding element that allows for many to understand one another through a device as simple as a ball or as complex as a prediction bracket. Call it what you want, but it is a true fever that captivates just about the entire globe. Yes, even in the United States, the last village of unconquered converters are seeing the mission style ad campaigns that have flooded our TVs, including the NBA finals. ESPN is betting the farm on this one in the USA (going to lengths to compete against UNIVISION’s Spanish language coverage by converting ESPN Deportes to Portuguese commentators - massive respect). This is the biggest World Cup yet and first truly “socially connected” tournament.

Below, are some predictions and thoughts on the South Africa Cup by our writers and editors. The elusive, David Fischer of Highsnobiety fame, even chimes in with his thoughts. Much respect to all Nations playing over these next weeks.

M Tokyo Japan Navy Jacket

11 June 2010, 15.30 | Posted in Fashion | No comments »

Selectism - m-tokyo-navy-jacket-01

Yep, we’re still recommending lightweight jackets. Until it gets to July, they’re a necessity – at least where we reside – so we’re gonna show our fair share until the rain subsides. We’ve covered M Tokyo a few times now, but this jacket is perfect for those folks who like the well made classics (and are prepared to pay a little more for it). The camo lining is a nice touch, especially if you go out of your way to show it off. Think of it as a casual version of that Paul Smith lining he’s famous for. (Coggles)
