Number (N)ine continue their (extremely long) victory lap with this Elk belt. We’re not sure if we’d call it a collaboration as such, he was merely ‘inspired by Portland and his stays at Ace Hotel’ as opposed to brain storming ideas with the group, but they’re handsome belts nonetheless.

LN-CC have just launched their latest archive feature, this time picking up several gems from the now deceased line, Number (N)ine. There’s a shedload of stuff to choose from, but our favourite is this blazer, which uses an image taken by photographer Charles Peterson. Call us crazy (and a lot of you will) but we think this is a great and wearable piece. Well, as wearable as blazer with a picture of a crowd at a concert can ever be. (LN-CC)

It would seem as though former Number (N)ine mastermind,  Takahiro Miyashita, is back with something new for the market. Not much is known yet on what will come of “The Soloist, Ltd.” Not much is known at this time outside of the focus being on menswear. The collection is set to launch in July via an exhibition. No runway show it would seem. (fsnap)

An interesting take on the collarless shirt from Japan’s Number (N)ine. Made to be worn out, the beige, white, and lilac check features a button down front that stops at the waist. The tail on the back of the shirt is patterned in black. Check the photos for the details. Take it for what it is. (browns)

The news has been doing the rounds over the weekend, but we felt we should start the week with this news for posterity. Number (N)ine’s recently displayed AW09 collection – which was called ‘a closed feeling’ – will be their last. Hint Magazine received a letter from the company stating that “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished”. Whether founding member Takahiro Miyashita will start up another company remains to be seen, but this seems to be one designer closure that has nothing to do with the economy.

Number Nine’s AW08 show was a lumberjack fest and it remains the go-to brand if you’re a firm believer in that particular look. This Wool shearling coat can look a little unspectacular until you see it styled right, which is why we’ve included the catwalk shot above. The check pattern is almost becoming standard for this season, but the huge collar makes it stand out. Get it from Farfetch.com.

As reported by us before, for a while now Number (N)ine and Ace Hotel Portland have worked together on collaborative product. The latest collaboration on wool blankets and matching pillows in a series of colorways, is now available at the Number (N)ine New York Flagship Store.

Japanese brand Number (N)ine presents as part of their Fall/Winter 2008 collection this hi top trainer, featuring a shearling lining. Here we got some trainers with serious style, perfect for the colder months. Also the details on the lace holes, that you usually find on hiking boots, make a great look.

The Number (N)ine Hi Top Trainer is now available at Browns.

Browns got in a good range of the new Number (N)ine Fall/Winter 2008 collection. We take a look at the Japanese  brand’s coats for the season. 

We like the fusion of materials that come out of work-wear with more luxurious materials, such as fur, in the case of Number (N)ine. Especially the "Check Coat" (above left) caught our eye. Perfect for the colder months.
