It looks like Bastian really loves those Randolph Engineering sunglasses. The duo is working on a forthcoming Signature collection. Here is what Mr. Bastian has to say about RE: “I have been a huge admirer of Randolph Engineering sunglasses for many years now. It’s rare to find a company who’s product is technically perfect, completely functional, and cool and at the same time. To me, they produce the ideal classic masculine sunglass, and I’m very happy to have this opportunity to work together.” The sunglasses debuted during his Spring 2011 runway show and should hit retail around February 2011.

Aplace stocks this wonderful raincoat from Stutterheim which is about the most bare essential raincoat we’ve seen in sometime. They’re handmade in Sweden and numbered for your individuality. “Based on the original patterns from the 1960’s (founded them in a barn) and manufactured in the city of Borås, long the centre of the Swedish textile industry (until production moved overseas and factories closed down), it’s the only rain coat you’ll ever need. Whether you’re about town or in the country. Whether it’s a drizzle ora downpour. Whether you’re battling with the forces of nature or just your own demons.”

“Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case, 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally “performs” its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself. The project is set to be released on Cantaloupe.”

A simple and classic bag from England’s Chapman line of bags. Their “Border Briefcase” is a very clean look.  Some notes: “one main compartment with flap, adjustable straps with clogballs and buckles, two exterior bellows pockets with poppered flaps” and reinforced leather base corners. Should last you some time.

NYC’s Arrow shirt line will be heading into Urban Outfitters this November as part of a six-piece exclusive line for the retail chain. “Each piece uses the authentic fabrics, cut, and colors of the original” button-down shirts. One thing that UO does well is follow and place well trended looks into their stores. We have no doubt these will not only look great but also have strong sell through.

Check with Basslike for more info.

Some new footwear from the Creative Recreation “Select” line. “One of the brand’s most comfortable shoes, the driving moccasin inspired Sacco is made of thin leather suede and finished with a flexible, light-weight rubber outsole detailed with a horizontal tread that allows for stability and cushion.  The Sacco is constructed without a heel counter which allows the shoe to mold specifically to the wearer’s foot.”
