We first covered the Katin for Apolis Activism shorts in May.

“Apolis continues their collaboration with Kanvas by Katin, the fifty year old boat cover turned board short makers in Surfside, CA. The Chambray swim trunk made by Katin in Southern California. And as the Apolis guys aptly demonstrate, they’re shred-proof. ” (secretforts)

Here’s a first look (as the headline suggests) at APC’s AW10 collection. While there’s plenty for those who like their menswear a little stuffy, there’s plenty for slightly more fashion forward folks as well – we’re looking at you cape wearers. There’s also the return of the jumpsuit, the piece that eternally remains on the ‘ermm, I almost like it’ list of clothing,

Don’t let the name put you off – as far as we know, Diddy had nothing to do with the making of this piece. Without sounding like a nostalgic granddad, we’ve been fans of Camo ever since we first saw them back in B&B last January. Pieces like this Polo shirt are great examples of why they’re stocked at several top stores around the world. The small collar might be a little much for those addicted to classics being replicated down to the last detail, but we’re always fans of a little updating. (C-Store)

We’re no fans of the word ‘directional’ – it’s almost as meaningless as the word ‘angular’ is in music – but that’s a word you’re bound to hear in description of these oxfords. These aren’t one of the traditional footwear lovers – or, at £540, those without sizeable bank accounts – but these are a handsome pair of shoes nonetheless. (The Corner)

Either way, you’ll be adding to your roster of bags. (Oi Polloi)

03. 37 Or So Ingredients

“Breaking down the deleteriously toothsome Twinkie, photographer Dwight Eschliman documents the Hostess confection by exposing all of its ingredients in a simple format. From mundane sugar to the alien Red 40 (above), the petri-dish-style portraits offer a concerning view of that old adage, ‘you are what you eat.’” … (coolhunting)

04. Diem Chau + W+K = Nike Crayons [World Cup 2010] (above)

“Unbelievably awesome. When my favorite crayon carver, Diem Chau, emailed me with pics last night of the latest project with W+K for Nike… for World Cup… the press kit for Write the Future campaign…. i was instantly amazed and jealous of all the lucky folks that got one. Such a beautiful piece of art. Incredibly packaged. Awesome idea. All the soccer stars are personified in crayon carvings!” (notcot)

“A hyper-stylized mixture of physical violence and verbal comedy, Dogtooth is a darkly funny look at three teenagers confined to their parents’ isolated country estate and kept under strict rule and regimen — an inscrutable scenario that suggests a warped experiment in social conditioning and control. Terrorized into submission by their father, the children spend their days devising their own games and learning an invented vocabulary (a salt shaker is a “telephone,” an armchair is “the sea”) — until a trusted outsider, brought in to satisfy the son’s libidinal urges, plans the seeds of rebellion by trading VHS tapes for sexual favors.” Coming to the USA June 25th.

Hodinkee profiles another new startup in the custom Rolex game, and damn if this one is not hot! “Until today, with the release of Project X Designs new limited edition series. Based on the current Rolex Explorer II, which our most prodigal friends proclaimed to be the only modern Rolex worth buying, this limited run of 24 watches is an absolute killer… The Explorer II has been coated in DLC to give in the “blackout” look.  Then, Project X has filled the 24-hour scale on the bezel with bright orange paint.  Finally, and clearly most importantly, the red GMT hand has been replaced with an orange one.”

Designboom sheds some light on the winners of their Hermes tie competition. While the winners were announced a while back, the inclusion of the ties into the Hermes collection itself held back a proper viewing of the works. “the winners of the ‘les cravates par Hermès’ competition were announced last november, however Hermès wanted to include the winning designs in their next collection, prompting us to keep the results under wraps, until the collection was ready and presented at Hermès stores. Within the next week or so, the complete data of the shortlisted winners, including images, will be revealed. stay tuned!” Above is one of the shortlisted entries from Sergio Studer.

We covered the Duhill “Chassis Series” not too long ago but with Esquire UK picking out their “North South Bag” as iPad friendly, we decided it was worth a revisit. “Made from calf leather coated with a unique carbon-fibre weave, its lightweight nature and resistance to water, knocks and scratches makes it the ideal workaday bag, rain or shine. Beneath the magnetically fastened flap you can expect to find two mobile phone pockets, a loop for your house-keys and a further, zippable compartment for your wallet, all lined in a soft grey microfibre. On the back, meanwhile, is a concealed sleeve to keep your travel tickets and office pass close to hand. (Conveniently, its dimensions are perfectly suited for transporting an iPad.)”
