We previews some forthcoming bags from the Krane line as seen last week during (capsule) show. Today, we bring you looks from their Spring 2011 apparel collection. The “Pierre peaked-lapel blue micro-stripe cotton blazer with lambskin accents” shown above is a beautiful take on the common blazer. We applaud their use of leathers in accenting classic pieces.

The washed leather backpack (above) from Krane is semi-part of their Spring 2011 collection – unless you live near a Barneys, Japan location where it will drop a bit early (in about a month). The washed leather has a unique look and feel that convinces you to treat it like a bag should be treated and used.

Ontario’s Krane may be better known for the line of bags and accessories but you should not count out their menswear. For Spring/Summer 2010, Krane brings modern looks and cuts for the urban gentleman. Clear influence is pulled from the simplistic fashions of Scandinavia while other looks tip the hat to the more fitted and tapered notions of fashion. (cqc)

For those heading to (capsule) this coming Monday in NYC be sure to stop in at the Krane for a look at their Fall/Winter 2009 collection. Based in Canada, Krane has been present at (capsule) for some time now and with their expanded menswear collection under Krane Man, we can only assume a great collection for the Fall.

Krane comes through with a superior coat made from waxed cotton. The Jonas Coat is a double breasted officer’s coat with a sheep fur lined collar, pewter finish pocket snaps, vented sleeves, and a removable liner made from “recycled Italian military blanket.” A great look available now from OAK.

The accessory market has exploded over the past couple of years and even for men there is lots of choice out there at the moment. We are big fans of Japanese brand Porter, which is still very hard to come by outside of Japan.

Nevertheless there are some companies out here that do a great jobs. The bag has become also for men an important accessory, to travel or simply to go to work with the laptop. We checked out the brands Moore & Giles and Krane.

Moore & Giles is a brand that has been around over 70 years now. The brand is based in Virginia and creates natural leathers. Now they offer an entire range of bags – laptop bags, tote bags, weekend travel bags and more. The fine leather and smart choices of the mix, is what attracted us the most.

We especially enjoy the large travel bags by the brand. They come in a big range of leather choices and looks great!

Krane is another interesting label, in comparison to Moore & Giles, definitely a more modern take though. Founded in 2004 by by Ken Chow – a graduate of the Menswear program at New York’s F.I.T and who interned with Marc Jacobs and Alexandre Plokhov of Cloak, the label presents a mens fashion line and a bag collection, which we look at now.

“Krane Design combines the practicality of vintage uniforms with details from modern industrial design in pursuit of forward, functional, innovative and individualistic everyday garments and accessories. Old school traditional tailoring techniques meet technology and a new school stylistic design attitude in delivering essential items that acknowledge the thoughts and aspirations of the new contemporary man.”

His bags come with the uppers made up of waxed cotton. Smart form giving and practical transformations, make his line multifunctional! (pics of the Krane bags taken from Blackbird blog)

This was out take on some exciting mens bags! After the jump some more pics of Krane bags.
