We finally got our hands on some looks from inside the first London shop – their ninth retail location. You can find the Jack Spade shop over in London’s SOHO district at 83 Brewer Street. At 1,000 sq/feet the shop holds a full range of the Jack Spade goods including clothing, wallets, bags, wallets and more – everything you would expect from the line. Stop on in.

Summer is rearing its head and we are reminded that a new pair of sunglasses would not suck right about now. Here are some by Jack Spade for Selima Optique. Priced in the mid range ($295-$325), these are handmade in France and come with a signature case.

“Jack Spade was our first collaboration ever, and it has always been an extreme pleasure to work with the company,” Selima Optique founder, Selima Salaun, says. “We share the same vision of luxury accessories, so it has always been a great match.” Nice variety; clean looks. Available online.

A bit surprised they did not have a shop in London already…. WWD reports that Jack Spade will open their new London SOHO location at 83 Brewer Street at the end of March. As reported, brand director, Cuan Hanly sees the new London location as “the next logical step” for the brand after opening last autumn in Tokyo. The single floor Jack Spade shop in SOHO London will cater to both men and women.

Here’s another limited edition offering for the day, this time from Jack Spade, who teamed up with artist and “cultural planner” Theaster Gates for a limited edition canvas bag dipped in black latex that celebrates the 2012 Armory Show. Proceeds from the sale of the tote go toward Gate’s Rebuild Foundation which turns old buildings nationwide into community art spaces.

We dig the charity and the color and material contrast on the bag, but do wish it didn’t look so much like something we got for donating to a charity (read: too much labeling). See how much better it is left alone? Though, to be fair, Gate’s acronym A.N.N.A.P. (Association of Named Negro American Potters) is pretty legit. A good idea and an even better cause. Pick one up here for $250 (probably a write-off).

More postcard motifs on wallets from Jack Spade for Autumn/Winter 2012. Their current collection, out now, has a similar flavor. The new set of wallets extends the fascination with all things Americana into new territory.  If you need, you need. See a wider selection in our gallery.

Seasonally proper, the Jack Spade Nestor Cigarette scarf reminds me of the classic work sock pattern that lumberjacks enjoyed. Truth is, the scarf is more than proper for almost all. Buy it as a gift or enjoy it for yourself. Park & Bond has it.

We tried to not give too much away with our Jack Spade Spring/Summer 2012 preview, but people got very interested in the postcard motifs. We’ll share all the accessories tomorrow, but for the moment, let’s focus in on their apparel, which bring seasonally proper looks that almost all gents can work with. The full-zip sweater and striped Milton and hoodie do the trick. Good to see Jack Spade continuing with garment end of their collection.

For those that missed it, you can view the Jack Spade Autumn/Winter 2011 garment collection.

Coca Cola follows up their  125th Anniversary presentation book with a capsule collection with New York’s Jack Spade. The collection features caps, t-shirts, coal bags, iPhone cases, and posters from Colby Poster Printing features some of the Coca-Cola’s famous taglines: “It’s The Real Thing”, “I’d Like To Buy The World A Coke” and 1989’s “You Can’t Beat The Feeling.”

The items are limited though: the prints are limited to 300 units while the caps are set to 150. Other items should be plentiful though. Cuan Hanly, VP/GM of Jack Spade had these thoughts on the collection: “Given both Jack Spade’s and Coca-Cola’s heritage in design, pop culture and whimsy, we feel the Jack Spade and Coca-Cola products truly represent this. After all, it’s the real thing…”

Jack Spade expands their offering beyond men’s accessories and bag this Autumn 2011 with their new tailored suiting collection. The collection mixes traditional men’s suits with a “mix of hopsack blazers, wool herringbone blazers, flannel suits and camel hair top coats.” The collection is made in the United States inside Southwick’s  Haverill, MA factory that has been in kicking out suiting since 1929.

More look after the click. The collection is available through their shops now.

Jack Spade delivers this fine charcoal color “coal” bag dipped in some rubber latex to raise the durability factor of the bag. Dipped or not, the color is the winner here. A heavy 22oz. tarp material is used on the exterior with all the special hits: rivets, wax wear handles… inside you’ll find the usual zipper hits. A beautiful bag for Autumn and beyond. Comes in under $200. Oh, there are a couple of other colorways. Trust us, charcoal is the way to go.
