Native(X) Scarves

15 November 2010, 12.55 | Posted in Accessories | 1 comment »

selectism - Native(X) Scarves
Made from Pendleton Woolen Mills’ pure virgin wool, Native(X) is a new brand aiming to highlight Native American arts and fashion. Perhaps it is the next wave of the heritage movement. If not, the designs have legs and the price point is commendable – topping out at $35. “The scarf wrap (Casca and Dryden) measures 128 inches by 3.5 inches and is perfect for creative styling. The traditional scarf (Kinzel, Sage, and Thurston) measures about 62 inches in length and 5 inches in width, accented with three inches of self-fringe on each end. Branded with a leather artisan label, these iconic symbols of America’s past have plenty of modern mileage, and are woven and constructed in the USA.”

APC Herringbone Blouson Jacket

Selectism - apc-herringbone-blouson-01

APC continue their tradition of releasing at least one piece of covetable coating a season with this jacket. It’s one for the folks who prefer calmer outerwear (we’re aware we post some kerrazy pieces at times. And, yes, we can hear all you people saying ’some?!’) and would do all the usual stuff we usually rave about – you know, slotting into a wardrobe and all that jazz. (End)

Timex Camper and Expedition Camper Watches

Timex Camper Watches

Recently, our friend and Columnist, Michael Williams, wrote a post discussing the common focus on “hyper” priced goods. Specifically, he discussed the Timex Camper Timex Camper and Expedition Camper Watches and Timex Expedition Camper Timex Camper and Expedition Camper Watches watches, which drew much attention, not only for their beauty but for its incredibly reasonable price-point (Camper at $22 and Expedition Camper at $18!) – bucking this trend.

“I’ve been wearing the Camper Expedition (which I bought on Amazon Timex Camper and Expedition Camper Watches for … $18 I think) for about the last six weeks and nearly everyday someone asks me what it is. It’s amazing to me how many people comment about it. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar it is probably the most remarked item I have ever owned. This all made me think that I need to do a better job of seeing what’s in front of me”

Well said, Michael.

Varde77 (Japan) Autumn/Winter 2010

Coming in late to the season, we bring you looks from a Japanese line going under the name Varde77. MM brings them to our attention (as usual). Bob Dylan seems to be a big inspiration for the “relaxed” look of the collection. Built around the concept of “Vintage & Future“, Varde77 “aims” to transform the classics in any way it can. Dig in for yourself.

01. Minimalist Video Game Character Avatars

“One of the major art projects that nerds endeavour to undertake is video game art reinventions. Not to say that all nerds do something like this, but if it’s any indication, you see a lot of it out there. Minimalist art is just one of these approaches that artists take, …” (waylou)
