Honestly, I don’t know what the deal is with my latest want. I haven’t been hunting in years so there’s no real practical reason that I should want or need a orange jacket. Needless to say that didn’t stop me from the hunt.
I think colors such as orange and yellow can be pulled off if [...]

I’ve always been on the fence with vests whether it be a functional vest with pockets and warmth as it’s characteristics or a tailored vest for a 3-piece suit. Lately, wool and weather resistent vests have been what I’ve been curious about. Here’s a few that have been on my radar as of late, mainly [...]

Arnheim Fashion is a composition made of Sjaak Hullekes and Sebastic. To my liking, Sjaak looks like a bit like something I’d see from A.P.C. which is certainly a plus. Its nice to see simple garments cut so well and still stand out from the rest. Just from viewing the 2008 fall season, their jackets [...]

Opening the package and seeing the oil cotton and filson tag made my heartbeat skip. Filson has known how to make a garment since 1897 with every detail beautifully stitched [...]

There aren’t a whole lot of things I miss about the actual city of Miami, besides the docks and a few tucked away spots. However, every year the Art Basel rolls back around to Miami Beach…I kick myself. The last time I attended was 2006, and it was fun and inspiring. Meeting new people, seeing [...]
