Here’s a stash of Canadian made Bermuda shorts from the excellent Wings + Horn company. “100% cotton twill bermuda shorts with Wings + Horns signature button fly, slim knee-length leg, two front pockets and coin pocket, gusseted back pockets (small “W&H” tag tucked inside the right rear pocket), and taped interior seams.” Blackbird has them.

June 12th people. While many of our editors may be Anglo centric in the battle (which I find ridiculous since one of them actually lives in Philadelphia – the home of the big bell and 1776 Congressional Congress which made a bunch of rag tag colonies into what is now the USA). Either way, an epic pitch war will erupt. You might as well show your allegiance via one of these Bumpy Pitch x Five Four shirts.

It’s fair to say that we quite like bags. In fact, If we counted how many we featured over the years, the numbers would reach Wilt Chamberlain-esque numbers. But here’s another one for you to buy/drool & dribble over. This Steve Mono bag is a perfect overnight  bag or even a weekender, provided you pack light. At least, that’s the excuse you can give to your partner when they see you’ve bought another bag (it didn’t work for us). [Farfetch]

Fans of the Beautiful Game and 15th century battles will appreciate the new book, Blood In Blood Out. The line of the book: “The designers of heraldry were the first graphic designers.”

“Dutch designer Floor Wesseling dived deep into the phenomenon of heraldry, the visual coding system from the 15th century by which families, kingdoms and armies could be identified and which were placed on flags, shields, jerseys and coats of arms. Blood In Blood Out wants to show the relationship between cultures and express this by displaying new jerseys for football players, who are very much the modern day heralds. Floor Wesseling combines jerseys from different football teams into new combined jerseys and in doing so tells emotional stories about rivalry, social communities, city and country derbies and latter-day football battles.” Out on BIS Publishers.

SL faves Velour just opened up shop in Amsterdam. We could rave about the affordable, well made clothes that strike a good balance between fashion forward and fusty but we won’t (although we kinda just did). Instead we’ll just focus on this new store, the brand’s fourth store since launching in Gothenburg as deadstock store in 1997. Located in the De Negen Straatjes area of Amsterdam, this now sees Velour in Copenhagen, Gothenburg and, of course, Amsterdam. Go check out the store for yourself at Huidenstraat 14.

There’s another look at the store after the leap.

As the eagle eyed among you might have realised, we’re all about the chest pocket tees this season. This unrivaled one is a little more High Snob than the ones we usually post up, but don’t let that put you off. The bandana design on the pocket is right up our alley and the navy colour means it will match with any number of coloured trousers. If we were being fussy we’d say that the print on the back is a little jarring, but it’s not a deal-breaker. (Goodhood)

Same ol’ drill. Take a leap and see those shots.

Dadwear fans look away now: this one isn’t for you. This is a backpack, but not the kind you usually see over the interwebz. For one, This is in a so-loud-it’s-deafening white and it’s made from PVC, which we understand isn’t one of those ‘rugged’ materials everyone’s clamouring for right now. To put it simply, this is one for the folks who don’t want to be swapping style tips with their dad just yet. Sometimes it’s best to dress your age, not your suit size. (ASOS)

01. Thermoelectric Galoshes Charge Your Cellphone With Every Step!

02. Miguel Cotto back in mix after thrashing Foreman

Cotto is usually a humble man, but he was proud after his win against Foreman, a bizarre one to be sure, but one that gave the Puerto Rican star a title in his third weight class — junior middleweight, welterweight and junior welterweight. “I proved this night, everybody who said Miguel Cotto was finished, everybody failed,” Cotto said.

03. Neigh Bother: Director Dave Ma On Making Videos For Foals

In these times of tight budgets and conservative record labels demanding videos with the band bobbing about in, creativity in the music promo is in increasingly short supply. One of the best new directors bucking the trend for the bland is Dave Ma, who has worked with Foals since they first appeared in 2007. (The Quietus)

04. Paul Pierce: ‘We Ain’t Comin Back to L.A.’

Last night in Los Angeles, in the closing moments of Boston’s huge Game 2 victory, Pierce was in the mood to make predictions and bold guarantees again (this time, to courtside fans.) (Slam Online)

“Video guru Tim Hahne descended on this year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring with nothing but his trusty Canon 5d Mk II and a handful of lenses. The guy was there through the thick and the thin of the race – from the first drop of the green flag to the final fall of the checkers – and managed to nab a heady 19,500 frames of racing action for the world’s enjoyment. It’s all in delicious HD, dripping with the kind of glory we’re unaccustomed to inmotorsports videography.” (autoblog)
