We pulled this one from the James Perse Resort collection for me. This heathered funnel-neck sweatshirt is made in Los Angeles, as much of the Perse collection. The sweatshirt features a loose funnel neck kangaroo jump pocket on the front and a raw edge detail on the cuff.

At $175, this sweatshirt is on the higher end of the spectrum, but well worth. Perse is known for killer basics. This is no exception. Think comfort, softness, and a premium casual garment. Find James Perse online.

Our friends at James Perse continues their great work with the Seavees line of footwear. Their latest work comes in the form of a brush suede lace-up court shoe; a slight change from the Perse/Seavees slip-on offering. California 60’s style remains the theme. The eyelet guides show off a subtle detail. Clean and wearable by all.

A proper crewneck from Los Angeles’ James Perse line. The pique stitch finish and overlock hem stitch keeps the crew in form. It is blended from a mix of 24% Linen, 46% Viscose for a highly soft to touch feel. Raglan sleeves finish it off. Be sure to dry clean only. Hits you at $250 from Perse. Well worth the money.

James Perse returns with a new ping pong table. Their first (featured on Selectism back in Jul 2009) was a simple affair with all the necessary treatments to make it official. Their new limited edition ping pong table steps it up a notch with wood teak framing. “Following the same principles and design aesthetic of the James Perse Furniture Collection, the James Perse Limited Edition Ping Pong Table is hand-crafted from environmentally farmed solid teak. It combines playability with functionality – remove the net and cover with the optional teak table top to convert the game room into a dining or conference room.” Comes with custom paddles as well.

James Perse takes their incredibly solid basics business to the technical/performance space with their Yosemite line. Yosemite incorporates moisture-wicking fabrics into their wears – making them appealing for hiking, running, surfing, and even yoga. The principles that made the Perse mainline strong remain. “Aspects of the James Perse brand are reflected in the Yosemite line such as garment-dyed nylon outerwear with jersey linings, classic James Perse fits and cotton tees made locally in Los Angeles.” A great collection for those looking for performance wear with the cut and styling of James Perse.

James Perse is a company that defines “California Cool.”  They show us the perfect v-neck shirt. The 100% cotton shirt allows for a modern fit, through accented shorter sleeves and lower neck line. The shirt offers the classic traditional style with the look and feel of something that Louis Vuitton or Gucci would create. The shirt is offered in five colorways: grey, black, white, slate and navy. I only wear these shirts and I have to say they have the most amazing fit. Available at JamesPerse.

Now that spring’s officially here (in fashion retail world, not real life) we’re seeing a fair amount of brighter coloured sweatshirts doing the rounds. Orange is a colour that isn’t suited to everybody, but if you’ve got the skin tone you can pull it off. (Studio Homme)
