Wings + Horns West Point Chino

For a while now I have been attempting to vary my wardrobe and recently this has been applied to my leg-wear. Having worn APC New Standards solidly for the past year or so, and before that Supreme denim, trousers are something I am relatively in-experienced in knowing anything about. These Wings + Horns navy chinos are a pair of trousers which perfectly suit what I have been looking for. A navy pair, over lets say khaki, allow me to wear similar clothing to that which I would wear with denim, but give it a completely different, in a way smarter, complexion. The fit of the West Point chino is also relatively slim, something which is fairly hard to come by from a brand in a similar bracket as the of Wings + Horns. These were money well spent, especially as there is surely always a space in my wardrobe for a pair of navy chinos.

L.L. Bean Ranger Mocs Update

Last week I received them and they have been very much worth the money I paid. I know they will not leave my feet for some time.

Albam: Islington

Word on the street is that Albam are close to moving into their third shop, in none other than my stomping ground - Upper Street in Islington. Last week Diverse menswear left their own shop (286 Upper Street) to move to the second floor of the womens shop due to what I believe to be financial problems and Albam have already arranged a move into N1. At the moment there is no offical date on a move-in date but if their last shop is anything to go their rustic shop fit may take a few months to re-recreate.

L.L. Bean Buck Chukkas

The L.L. Bean Signature site went live today and with it comes the first proper look at the collection, all that had seen before was the ranger moc's that I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. The footwear collection is quite impressive and for me this is the highlight, the Buck Chukkas. The red-brick sole compliments the tan boot and these would be the perfect summer boot, maybe even better than a sand desert boot.

Polo 1992 Parka : Lo Life Fo Life

In one of my first posts I wrote about how the split colour design had been used for inspiration for many jackets up until today. The most recent Supreme x North Face collaboration has brought this to the fore again with a similar colour combination. This collection has reminded me of one of my favourite jackets that has been sitting at the back of my wardrobe for a few months. I have, to date, found no better jacket for wearing in the summer weather with shorts and a simple t-shirt. It is the perfect shell to summer rain, weighing less than a sweatshirt. My own personal one has seen a lot of wear as the very old date of issue and cookie patch can vouch for. This jacket was created in both a red/cream and blue/cream colour-way, both of which are very hard to get your hands on nowadays. I guess I was just fortunate that I found this one when I did.
