“A film by Joseph Lally starring Tyson Ballou, Michael Brager, Charles Devoe and Daphne Guinness, with Cory Bond, Travis Hanson and Ellen Cremer.” (nf)

Notcot turns us onto this great looking storage solution. Daniel Ballou has designed a ceramic version of the storage container that’s been used for a million and one action movie fight scenes. And now you can use it to store some pens. That, our friends, is called evolution. (Ballou Projects)

Lanvin works with some silk and wools splits on their bowties and neckties for Autumn/Winter 2011. As seen above the long end of the necktie is finished in a wool. Similarly, the bowties has a wool application that sits well with silk. Choices, people.

We’ve been giving the new Nike+ Sportwatch GPS a serious workout the last few weeks. Unlike most watches we cover on Selectism, the Nike+ Sportwatch is really meant to be used while running. Both avid and new runner alike will enjoy the benefits of the Sportwatch. For an information junkie like myself, the watch allowed for a transition off the treadmill and onto the streets while retaining an understanding of my time and distance – both of which are highly motivating factors for me while on the road.

Those familiar with the Nike+ Sportsband will very much appreciate the advanced in the new watch. The addition of the TomTom GPS receiver compliments the standard Nike+ footpod which is used to record your steps and distance. When in sync, the two offer an accurate and instant recording of your distance and speed. A hidden USB connector in the wrist strap easily connects to your Mac or PC to allow for uploading your runs onto Nike’s Running site. There, via Google Maps, you can trace back your run and even check your run elevation as well as compare runs historically.

The large face readout makes it pretty damn easy to see your time and distance while on the go. Additionally, it would seem that the Nike+ Sportwatch is not just limited to your workout cycles: this week we noted more than a few people in New York City alone wearing as an everyday watch. Go figure.

We’re quite the fans of Jardan:

“Nick Garnham’s latest collection for Jardan, Quincy, is all about soulful lines and traditional joinery. The collection finds glory in the details, rounded corners and the finest American oak. Available in 7 different standard stain finishes and a large range of speed stain colors.”

Apologies in advance, but tracksuit bottoms aren’t going anywhere. We’ve heard that quote about tracksuit bottoms being a sign that you’ve given up on life but we disagree. If anything, it’s  a sign that you love life so much you want to spend every second being as comfortable as possible. And that’s a philosophy we can get behind. (Albam)

Curated turns us onto Gary Bryan’s photography:

“Gary Bryan is more than your average food photographer, he takes popular foods and forms sculptural works that pay homage to everything from ancient ruins to constructivist housing blocks.Creative Review calls it “Food Architecture.” Not a bad base description at all.”

Sometimes we like seeing a twist – even if it just reminds us that we liked the original better. That’s definitely the case with this high top Jack Purcell. Interesting? yes. Better than the original? No. That said, if you were never that into the plan JP, this might be the one for you. Aloha Rag has them exclusively.

Now showing with the second color way which will be available today.

Duffer’s new spring range of trainers just fell into their usual stockists and here’s our pick of the bunch. It’s a simple, clean, minimal, nice, bang on trend, all round good egg of a trainer. And that’s all we ask for in our footwear.

Despite the dearth of Visvim here, we do like what they do. However, we also feel it’s impossible to talk about Visvim without mentioning the elephant in the navajo blanketed room – their prices. This coverall is relatively affordable and, aside from stretching the word relative to its logical limits, it’s a pretty great piece. (Nitty Gritty)
