Tailored by Umbro, the new 2011/2012 home strip for LOC (Lille Olympique Sporting Club) is constructed of a super breathable polyester.The intent of the engineered fabric is to provide the technical pluses of cutting edge polyester with the feel and comfort of cotton.

We like this video more than we like the song. A lot more.

Grenson worked with Rag & Bone on these boots. Apart from a handsome shape, the thing that stands out about these are the hob nails. Seeing as hob nails aren’t a regular request at Grenson’s Northampton factory they had to source them themselves, putting them on by hand.

We’re always a little confused at the lack of clothing companies making decent laptop cases. Judging from the amount of folks we’ve seen with Supreme stickers on their cases, we’d think there’d be a market for that. One of the exceptions to the rule has been Wood Wood, who’ve been making these handsome laptop cases for a while now. Perfect for all those folks going travelling over the summer. (Flatspot)

Curated turns us onto Castellucio’s sculptures:

“Sculptor Franco Castellucio confronts science and art in his latest work, “The Double Helix XX-XY.” The work images an animated strain of DNA, with sinuous male and female bodies twisting to the top. Castellucio also twists the notion of “survival of the fittest,” his desire being that people confront, in his work, the notion of enduring compassion.”

We’re still a bit confused at the whole shift to Italian tailoring that’s happened in blogging. Actually, we’re more confused at the rejection of everything that was fawned about a few seasons back. Us? We still like the things we always did, we just like a couple of new things as well. Take these Alfred Sargent’s for instance. Handsome, classic, rugged, dainite – we’ll stop now, we’re starting to sound like a perfume commercial. (Shoe Healer)

Bump up the world, watch my flow, here we go. Return of the Mack(intosh) collaboration. That wasn’t the best remix in the world, but we feel it accurately described our feelings towards this Junya/Mackintosh collab. This coat is perfect if you (a) are not a fan of longer coats (b) still like a beige coat and (c) have a few spare coins in your pocket. (Firmament)

The OC and the Pendleton folks continue their affair with this season’s new collab collection. Our favourite has to be this moto jacket. Which, with ’subtle snakeskin, horseshoe emblems and blazon’ blazers’, sounds very wrong on paper. But, as any fans of sports cliches will know, looking at something on paper isn’t the best judge of how it’ll work out in reality. (Opening Ceremony)

For anyone who hasn’t heard yet, Gil-Scott Heron passed away last friday. And as one of our favourite artists, it’s only right that we dedicate this morning’s ‘monday music’ to him.

Take a leap to see a few more of our favourites from the legend.

Some new jewelry from the boys and girls from the Alyssa Norton line. “Alyssa Norton makes beautiful jewelry using silver and brass chains and wrapping it with colored or monochromatic threads and suede stripes. Her original approach derives from a background in fine art and jewelry studies and from her early career as a painter, having evolved from simple forms to experimentation with contrasts.” Por Vocacao has them.
