Whilst my good friend was at Supreme L.A earlier this week picking up my bits and pieces from this season he was handed the second mixtape by J.Rocc for Supreme, this one simply titled "take 2", enjoy.

Wings and Horns have teamed up with Quoddy to create both a boat shoe and chukka boot in a couple of original colours. As of yet there is no news of a release date or stockists but expect to see them arriving in stores over the next few months.

Born to shred.
Tony Hallam is about as serious as a collector gets, his obsession started in 1975 when he got his first skateboard and went on to not only compete but win several skate competitions in New Zealand and Australia in the early 80's.
His collection holds everything from Vans ankle guards to lunch boxes, not to mention the 800+ boards he's accumulated over the years, his childhood passion has now become his livelihood with his day job of designing skateparks, something which he obviously has alot of love for.

L.L. Bean Handsewn Ranger Moc
The second these were brought to my attention I knew I had to have them, especially as they are limited to only 100 pairs. These are very similar in shape and colour to the Redwing Chukkas which I have tried to get hold of for a while now. They are also a much cheaper alternative to the Yuketen moccasins which have been gaining praise in the past few months. The only negative point is the two weeks I have to wait for them to arrive from the U.S., but at least they make the effort to send them over the pond.

Palace
PRESENT has forged a close link with Palace, a relatively new clothing label born out of the skate troupe Palace Wayward Boys Choir. They have stocked the label since its inception, and a couple of the Palace members even work there. Last week they released this fantastic promo video, There Is Nothing Else, which proves just how much of an exciting prospect the brand is.

Baracuta G9 Harrington - Acorn
Last year Junya Watanabe, in partnership with Baracuta, created a G4 harrington in a lovely green colour. Those, unfortunately, are long gone so I must look for something similar. After an extensive search this has been the closest to the Junya version I have found. The colour is almost identical but the fit is different - being a G9 over a G4. Never having owned a harrington jacket I can only read about these things, but from my research the G9 does not fit as well as the G4. This is, however, a slim fit G9 so perhaps the difference is fit is not so substantial. Either way whilst the weather stays as it is this jacket would be perfect for layering and I may well have to pull the trigger on it sooner rather than later. I've seen people who own harringtons from well over 20 years ago and they still seems to find a place for them in their wardrobes in this day and age so there is obviously the potential for this one to find a place in mine in 20 years from now.

want - sierra designs rucksack.
Ever since I saw Deniro rocking a 60/40 Sierra Designs parka in the 70's cult classic movie The Deer Hunter I've had a real interest in this brand. Simple but functional pieces of classic American design stemming back over 40 years it will, for me, be the original US outdoorwear brand. It's just a shame that these days the only way of obtaining many pieces, including the 60/40 parka, is from Japan or ebay.
Personally I'd really love to see Sierra Designs re-releasing some of the vintage pieces, but I won't hold my breath.
