Converse deliver these stunners. The Star Tech high tops are all hand-made (which accounts for the pricepoint). The supple black leather works incredibly well against the sole and leather laces. A very premium pair of Converse, more than likely made in Italy as part of the Converse Saks series. Get them direct from Varvatos online.

Our brothers love the luxury as much as us. Their latest post shows a great collection from Trussardi 1911. Their “Embossed Camo” collection of bags and luggage offers the traveler a unique look. More than likely, you won’t see many other rocking these goods.

A quick moment to give some love t the “Urbane Jungle” shoot inside July’s GQ UK issue. Photographer, Max Vadukul, catches model, Jacey Elthalion in the “heart of darkness” …. kinda. A fun one for those looking to get their rain forest on. Good looks.

A pretty simple tent, really. The Poler company comes from the world of skate and snow. Their philosophy is all about keeping it damn simple. On their one man Poler “Man” tent, you get the very basics and quality in an outdoor sleeping tent. Packed at 4.5 lbs, the Man tent uses lightweigh aluminum poles and features a handy vestibule to keep your boots outside the dry side. It comes in at 6 feet round.  I think we need one.

Given that there is a holiday weekend on the horizon and you probably don’t want to end up drinking Coors Original, here’s our tip – buy some Wacko  from Vermont’s Magic Hat. “Wacko is the liquid song of Summer: Crisp like the morning, cool like the evening and quenching all day long. Pop the top and set your Summer loose. Wacko is a delicious Summer beer with a big malty aroma, a subdued hop bite and a clean, slightly sweet finish.”

It’s an English ale at 4.5abv (good for sessions and setting your Summer loose) and only available through the end of July.

“The F49 FRINGE Back-to-School-Back-Pack has been deemed street-legal by the FREITAG R&D department. Because there’s no tougher hood than schoolyards, it was tested to the fringe of sadism. Whoever manages to tear up this backpack clearly should be dispensed from school.”

Quirky takes on the traditional polo, solid henleys, and good old fashioned t-shirts make up the Ben Sherman Modern Classics shirt collection for Summer 2011. They’ve got a bit of personality, but are also subdued enough to fit many tastes and sink naturally into any wardrobe.

Yazter gives an extensive look at SHOW 2011, the Antwerp Fashion Academy show of the best in new grad design. “Undoubtedly a much-expected fashion event as the Academy constitutes the mother of major designers of today’s fashion; Creators who established the unique and mostly radical vision of fashion, known for its unique minimalism and production techniques. The famous alumni of the Fashion Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, namely the ‘Antwerp Six’ (Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Van Saene, and Marina Wee) set up the basis for a new design era, primarily based upon superior quality materials and non-mass production methods.”

Finishing off today’s Cap recap is Universal Works. It’s a nice and concise preview here (we don’t want to give too much away – otherwise what would you have to look forward to when it hits stores?) so we’ve focused on this bomber jacket, a chore coat and a two tone coat. All of which you see if you just click that ‘more’ button.

Coal bags and tool bags are abundant, but some make the cut more than others. Bag ‘N’ Noun may be a quick one to say but their tool bags come in proper colors: navy and mustard being our favorites. The canvas features riveted joints. Should last you ages if not longer. Goodhood has them.
