Albam’s madras workwear jacket is £105 available here.  Love it!

Featured here in Vanity Fair Italy is 21 year old Canadian model Kastyn Reid.  I’m completely smitten…

h(y)r collective, one of my favorite companies, breaks its way into the retail space with its first collection, a collobaration between brands Roden Gray, Moncole, Gilman Bros. Oxfords and Tannis Hegan bags to name a few.   Congrats to Ryan and the gang for making things happen!  I’m sure this is only the beginning.

Supreme kills it with another solid collection.  Check A-Ron’s in the latest Supreme lookbook in Japan’s Cool Trans magazine.

Available at The Garbstore is this 100% cotton Woodland jacket in heavy canvas poplin.  I’m not quite sure what a “scooped placket with bound facings” is, but I love it!  At 263 GBP (approx. $370), this looks like a good buy.  Also available in black, and tan.

When I was ten years old my father went to London for business and when he came back he presented me with a Barbour fleece, one that I still wear (or attempt to wear) to this day.  My love affair with Barbour continues here with its 2009 Spring Outerwear collection.  Though each piece looks fantastic, I really like the nylon Bedale (second from bottom).

These are absolutely brilliant!  Massimo Gammacurta came up with these little accessories for fashion week.  He created them with the Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel and YSL logos in a series of different flavors.  I want them all!  Via highsnobiety.

Nothing to get to excited about!  Just a jean jacket really.  I really like the buttons though…  Available at Oki-Ni.

Also available at Tres Bien Shop are these fantastic boat shoes designed by Band of Outsiders for Sperry.  As we’ve seen in past footwear collaborations between the two brands, these particular boat shoes have an inverted deconstruction.  Separating these from seasons past, however, is the use of safety pins, tassels, and what appears to be twine moreso than lace!  I just recently picked up a pair of Band of Outsiders wool boat shoes and have been fantasizing about adding a deconstructed pair to my collection.  Harder than coming up with the scratch to buy a pair though is deciding which pair!

Made out of used sailing canvas, Rogues Gallery’s latest collection of boat bags have an authentic distressed look; an aesthetic that’s truly definitive of the brand.  The new Spring/Summer 2009 Rogues Gallery Canvas Boat Bag is now available from Tres Bien Shop.

Over the years Baracuta has become well-known for its exclusive collaborations with high-end fashion brands and designers alike.  Now, Baracuta has partnered with the talented Junya Watanabe.  Great looking spring jackets!  Via Selectism.

Last week Selectism highlighted the Hermes Arceau Moonphase Retograde pocketwatch.  This wonderful watch is 18kt gold and limited to 24 pieces. I’ve been thinking about what to do with my collection of pocket watches (seen below) once I finally get them repaired, and the leather strap seems like a great alternative to the chain.  I remember when I was twelve and my great-grandfather’s pocket watch (built in Waltham, MA, the same town I would spend four years in while at college) inspired me to sketch a man in a three piece suit, with pocket watch of course, in what I have come to believe was a channeling of Mr. Richard Haines (What I Saw Today).  These time pieces are truly beautiful and functional accessories.  Take a look at my collection here (sadly no Hermes or Patek Philiipe pieces just yet):

Timothy Ang of Dean & Trent also posted the following photos of some beautiful pocket watches by Patek Philippe a few weeks ago.  Well played gentlemen!

Scott Sternberg, Band of Outsiders’s designer, is a former CAA agent with no fashion background, but you wouldn’t know it!  I just picked up a pair of his wool boat shoes and they’re to die for; as is every other piece.  Scott has a great grasp of styling.  Another casual, yet refined aesthetic I can get behind.  Cheers!

Beautiful collection from Garbstore via Black Lodges.  The outerwear looks fantastic as does the overall construction of the pieces.  Cheers!
