Crescent Down Works Hooded Down Sweater



One thing that I have always wanted for the winter is a thick puffer-type jacket not made by a commercial mountaineering brand like the North Face. After getting the down vest by CDW for Present last year I know how reliable their jackets can be. A down jacket, with 60/40 outer and ripstop inner would no doubt keep me toasty when the cold weather arrives, and makes a nice change from the many parkas I now own. The only question is whether to go for a black or navy version?

Quoddy x South Willard



I know its another pair of shoes but I seem to have a fixation with them at the moment. These are a proper pair of moccasins, not like the LL Bean Signature pair I bought recently which are good fun for the mean time, but I am by no means expecting them to last until the end of the summer, and to be honest I would be a fool to think they would for the price I have paid for them. Of all the colour/material combinations Quoddy have out at the moment these are my favourites and would be a wonderful alternative to deck shoes in the upcoming summer months. The colours sit perfectly together and the suede, as apposed to the chromexal leather on some other versions of the blucher, looks so well suited to brown.
