Some looks from The Generic Man’s Autumn Winter 2011 offering. The big brother line to the very popular Generic Surplus, The Generic Man collection is a directional step upwards in terms of quality and build. The shoes are more trad proper as well. TGM has been around for some time. Well worth a look.

Our friends at Notcot point us at this very quick walk-through  from the House Industries Eames LTR exhibiton over at Herman Miller Japan.

My oh my… that Neiman Marcus Christmas Book continues to delivery some one-of-a-kind gems for the ultra-rich (all of us). Good thing a portion of the money is going to some solid charities. Their Hacker-Craft Speedboat is well out of most people’s range but someone needs to buy it. At $250,000 smackers, this 27-foot solid mahogany speedboat will tip the scales on either end: looking good – paying for it. “For every speedboat sold, Neiman Marcus will make a $3,000 donation to the Double H Ranch” – cofounded by Paul Newman and Charles R. Wood.

Those looking for an easy to attain camera pouch may want to explore the options from Querida. Available in three sizes, the Querida pouches are made from “sticky-soft, uncoated, full grain pebbled leather” with a padded interior to keep the lenses and body safe and sound. Worth a look.

We like to imagine there’s a huge bin somewhere containing all the tie points that have gone out of favour of late. We don’t have a problem with the straight edged variety but the introduction of The Hill-Side neckwear “now with a point!” definitely warrants a mention. We all know the brand has a reputation for great modern ties so expect much the same in terms of pattern and fabric – chambray, plaid and gingham all present. However now you have the option of an added point and who are we argue with a new variation on one of our favourite lines.

We’ve raved about One Nine Zero Six in previous posts and we’re not backing down. These guys are making some seriously covetable modern menswear, a sharp eye for quality and cut they keep things deceptively simple. Lo-key detailing is their strength, this heavy cotton work shirt a prime example. Made in England it features a military style chest pocket, stitched side gusset detail – the open, curved front giving it a pullover feel that sets it apart from your average casual shirt. CHCM has them.
