Based on the CPO, expect something heavier than your average oxford. 100% cotton, two breast pockets, it features that popular ‘Blanket’ stripe which has found its way onto many unexpected items and works particularly well here. A nice shirt to layer up as the chill sets in. Find it at Goodhood.

A little exclusive from the guys at Human Made. The label has made its mark since its arrival in the UK, as with all things Nigo related it hasn’t wanted for attention and rightly so. This is repro with a touch of humour and an incredible dedication to the details. Shot at London modernist landmark, Bevin Court, designed by Architect Berthold Lubetkin and formerly the site of Lenin’s home during the early 1900s, photographer Neil Bedford and stylist Craig Ford join forces for a short and simple story highlighting the best of the Autumn Winter collection.

A very rare interview with DOOM as filmed in Spain during the latest Red Bull Music Academy.

Germany’s Beyerdynamic is an in-house favorite (see previous coverage) for travel and home use. Their T50p Tesla is another well priced heaphone that will satisfy a listener looking for a set of headphones for both various uses, but they are widely known for their quality as a portable. The T50p Tesla silver base model comes in at an easy $190. It should be on your radar if you are in the market for a proper audio experience with a very simple design aesthetic.

The Beyerdynamic T50p Tesla is the headphone for that user who would never consider Beats by Dre based on their design. Simply put, the finish on the Tesla is beautiful, clean, and sonically superior.

Even more impressive is the T50p “Manufaktur” edition, which allows users to fully customize the look of the headphones from band to pads, in beautiful leather finished. Available on Beyer Dynamic’s online shop, the Manufaktur even allows you to choose the color of the stainless steel on the band. Ostirch is there as well in the leathers. The price does jump significantly with the T50p “Manufaktur:” expect to pay around $400 for the benefit of salmon skin on your cushions.

Some new denim from the ROY line. We call it the ROY line but they’re really made by one man, Roy. He seems to do it all by hand locally in the States. Roy’s new blak/blue denim uses Cone (White Oak) canvas made from indigo dyed yarns, giving it a rich blue, almost black finish. They seem to wear in well, as shown in the photos down below. Five pockets as usual. Self Edge has them.

02. 2012 MV Agusta Brutale 675 does naked the right way

“You can go ahead and tear down that poster of the Triumph Street Triple R. The 2012 MV Agusta Brutale 675 has officially debuted, and the bike promises to bring naked performance to a new level. Essentially a de-bodied F3 Supersport, the Brutale 675 packs 113 horsepower and tips the scales at a feathery 358 pounds dry. MV Agusta has also equipped its naked warrior with a ride-by-wire system that boats four preset engine maps as well as a user-customizable tune. Eight-mode traction control is also part of the package. The 675 cc three-cylinder engine utilizes some pretty trick engineering..” (autoblog)
