WS Foster : On tour

Shoemaker WS Foster is on tour in the United States last week and this one. The company is showing new made to order models that are worth a look. For one thing, they're only available at the Jermyn Street store or on tour, which means that the well shod Foster customer isn't likely to see himself coming and going any time soon. For another, this particular series of MTO shoes, made to Northampton's highest standards, is $757 a pair (£447) ex VAT and compares favorably to shoes retailing for $1,100.

Sarah Adlam and Emma Lakin are in New York tomorrow or Thursday and Friday in Washington.

Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser Coat

Looking for a recession friendly coat ?  -

The Filson Mackinaw Wool Coat is made from 24oz virgin wool that can absorb “up to 30% of its weight in water without becoming damp or clammy.” Who wouldn’t want a coat which keeps guard against elements like wind, rain, and snow? Get it for 335$US from Filson.

Comes in olive, grey,black and the oh so hip buffalo plaid.

GDC: Boots

A cool boot from GDC. Their Union Work Boot comes in black and brown leather, cool aztec like embroideries on the sidepanels, giving them a more cool casual look. Lightweight sole , very durable - would probably look better once you beat them up a little.

Inventor : Cowboy Shirt

This week Design Observer posted a fantastic story by Adam Levy on Jack A. Weil, the inventor of the Cowboy Shirt. This guy is responsible for the cowboy shirt  - pretty damn cool. Read The Inventor of the Cowboy Shirt here.
