Winter Coats : Undercover

"Jun Takashi previews another series of releases for Undercover’s “Unreal Real Clothes” collection. Looking towards the 1970’s era of mountaineering fashion, Takahashi takes the aesthetic to new levels maintaining the root design with new details. Leather sleeves and plaid liners make for a simple and efficient product."

Loro Piana Baby Cashmere

In the mountainous regions of Inner Mongolia, Loro Piana discovered Baby Cashmere®: a rare and precious fibre exclusively obtained from the underfleece of the Hyrcus goat kid. It is gathered by means of a delicate and completely harmless procedure done only once in a goat’s life, when it is between three and twelve months old. Loro Piana Baby Cashmere® is available in extremely limited quantities: one kid produces barely 80 grams of the softest undefleece which, once the coarser outer fibres have been discarded, results in just 30-40 grams of useable fibre. So fine are the fibres of Baby Cashmere® that it takes the underfleece of 19 kids to make just one pullover.

Woolrich Woolen Mills Pants

Daiki Suzuki's fall collection for Woolrich Woolen Mills includes a hunting-inspired pair of pants.  The light wool trousers (above) are printed with duck-hunting scenes, while the heavier flannel pair with reinforced knees (below) are ready for a weekend in the woods. In other words, whatever your preferred weapon—musket or NES gun—Woolrich has you covered.
Woolrich Woolen Mills printed Ranger pants,$289, and flannel Upland pants, $259

Ralph Lauren Spring '09

The evolution of Ralph Lauren.

I took a look at the complete spring 2009 Ralph Lauren collection , as usual this is one lifestyle brand that never lets me down.classic pieces reinvented in timeless designs ,as well as the reinvented classic cable knit cashmere which will be available with an embroidered horse motif.

The black label brand continues to grow now bringing in RLX  under the label with technical apparel as well as the formal wear.

Here are just some looks you can contact me for the complete slide show.

Enjoy.

Timepieces..

How about this for a rare piece in the chrono world? Way back, Rolex used to make the very "in the now", thanks to Stallone, Panerai Radiomir, for the Italian Navy. We're talking the 1940's. It is clearly not as refined as what we see today from Panerai, but these were the days of, well, we'll let Hodinkee tell it. "The brand Panerai, known now as the archetypal New Yorker watch, was once a lowly producer of boring technical equipment (compasses, depth gauges, and the like) until 1935 when they somehow landed a contract with the Italian navy to develop watches that could be read underwater. Being that Officine Panerai had never produced a time-telling device at all, you can imagine who they turned to....Rolex.  Released in 1938 only to the Italian Navy, Officine Panerai produced diving watches called the "Radiomir" with movements, cases, and crowns all made by Rolex."

Step off your bike into a hip restaurant at that new Bowery Hotel. Well thought out and done well. Gabe, yes there are many things products we can offer and this just sheds some light....

Spring thoughts...

Summer isn't even over but spring has been in the industry's thoughts thanks to Fashion Week in New York. And Ralph Lauren reminds us of a great idea in his Purple Label collection for next year. A cream-colored, double breasted shawl collared dinner jacket in tropical weight wool with four buttons, self-lapels, and besom pockets. 

And if semi-formal affairs are rare there's no reason not to wear it to dinner at a white tablecloth restaurant. 

RL X LEBRON

Today in sports gear you're likely never to own: This limited-edition basketball designed as a charity item by Ralph Lauren. Sales of the balls benefit the LeBron James Family Foundation (which, among other initiatives, supports fitness programs for kids). But unless your name is, say, Jay-Z, Andy Roddick, or Charlie Rose, you're not going to be able to buy it—the balls were produced for an invite-only shopping event at the Polo Mansion tonight. The colorway's intriguing, but it's difficult to imagine shooting with the ball unless your hitting nothing but net.
