The stalwart and stylish weavers over at Pendleton offer up their Fall 2012 Portland Collection, designed by Nathaniel Crissman, Rachel Turk and John Blasioli and made here in the U.S.A. Lots of crisp, textured and patterned looks for lads, with some pillows and blankets for good measure. A good deal of this stuff has those sweet Native American overtones we have come to look forward to from the brand. There’s also an A+ jumpsuit. (f)

After running two stories on the expansive Dr. Martens collection for Autumn/Winter 2012, I did not think we would be revisiting the line so soon but after seeing the new “black/grey” version of the Pendleton boot vs. bag combo, we had no choice. As mentioned before, Pendleton fabrics are used against the boots as well as special bags developed to compliment the set. Choose your favorite. Shown at PROJECT, Las Vegas.

Curated by Arkitip, a more playful take on the blanket phenomenon. A collaboration between illustrator Pieter Janssen, better known as Parra; and Pendleton Woolen Mills. This virgin wool and cotton mix blanket features is an edition of 125.

Did you ever think bedding would become such a big deal in the world of menswear? If you’ve never really cared about what keeps you warm when you put your head down then let this new generation of manly camping trip/hunting expedition blankets lure you into homewares. The guys at Best Made Co. are particularly proud of their collaboration with Pendleton Woolen Mills. “Nothing is more requisite and elemental to the home than a splendid red wool blanket, but please take our word: you’ll be hard pressed to find a red wool blanket these days, let alone one that compares to the rank and splendor of a Best Made Famous Red.”

Pendleton’s collection for Eddie Bauer offers season-specific menswear including overshirts, bags, and scarves in iconic Pendleton patterns.

Like a lot of companies, Pendleton has milked their day in the sun for all it’s worth. And can you blame them? Make hay while the sun shines and all that. The upside of the Pendleton stuff is that it still looks good, even after they’ve collaborated with the world and its pet monkey. Take this varsity for instance – still handsome ain’t it? And it’ll still be handsome even after the world’s gone goth ninja. (C Store)

Korean brand Spectator have collaborated with fellow countrymen BYBO to produce this Pendleton wool tote. Leather handles, base and tabs and that native American style print, the shape takes it cue from military helmet bags – this one’s a surefire winner.

“Hip meets heritage when three young designers visit Pendleton’s headquarters, archives and historic mill to derive inspiration for The Portland Collection. Watch the designers working in their studio and go behind-the-scenes at the lookbook shoot. With Mort Bishop and designers Rachel Turk, Nathaniel Crissman and John Blasioli. Filmed and directed by Chris Hornbecker, music by Typhoon.”

Pendleton previews looks from their “The Portland Collection” coming this Autumn/Winter 2011. It puts one step forward into taking the classic Pendleton textiles and forming them for a more modern man who is not looking to troll backwards.  The collection “delves deep into the native american-inspired textile and blanket design legacy that the brand has created over the years. Designer trio John Blasioli, Rachel Turk and Nathaniel Crissman have managed to retain the outdoor vibe yet mold the folkloric aesthetics into contemporary pieces you’d readily flaunt at your fav downtown bar.” (sn)
