The Beaton jacket from Dries Van Noten gives us a classic herringbone jacket in much welcomed slimmer cut. The thick wool fabric will surely hold us down for the fall and going into the winter, if layered properly.

Denmark’s Wood Wood has some great accessories at pretty affordable prices, this premium leather shell for your laptop being one of them. The case is perfect for your 13-inch Mac, considering that’s the only laptop manufactured anymore. It’s simple, durable and comes in this camel brown finish that will give your daily commute a nice pop of call during the winter days. Just saying.

There are about five or six items I think every guy should have in his arsenal for the fall seasons, and a well-insulated henley shirt might make the cut. This particular one from Stussy Deluxe is great because it’s thermal weaved for added warmth. The cut is more tailored than what you may be used to seeing from Stussy and the detailing is quite appealing also. This shirt actually has corduroy elbow patches that really stood out to us when we initially came across the piece.

Back in 2006, Micah Cohen was not too far removed from finishing up at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in California when he decided to launch Shades of Greige. I’m sure many of you are familiar with the label, as it’s been carried by many notable shops ranging from Oak and Bloomies in New York to Stadium in Japan to Need Supply and ssense of online fame. In 2009, Micah launched SHADES of GREY by Micah Cohen to deliver a brand that would represent his design philosophy completely.

Long story short, the line’s been well-received and I personally love what the LA product is doing. The pieces are never too flashy nor are they ever too subtle. They always have the right hint of timeless appeal, something that seldom goes unnoticed by guys like me.

Look for SHADES of GREY at fine retail shops worldwide, including Urban Outfitters.com and Atrium of New York.

Here’s a Red Wing Moc Toe in a slightly higher version than the classic, though made from all the same rough leather. It’s hard to talking about a product that’ll virtually sell itself, but we will say with this Goodyear welted Vibram sole and brown leather combo, you just can’t lose.

With Henrik Vibskov‘s fall line hitting stores now, the Denmark label set up a local installation displaying the line which is titled, “The Slippery Spiral Situation”. Here’s what the Henrik Vibskov Studio had to say about the Fall/Winter 2010 collection:

The installation and show is the final gathering and sums up the making of the season. One can see it like a still picture of a tornado hitting a playhouse, a moment of peacefulness in the middle of chaos, a pictures that can only be created in ones imagination, with the help of acid or special effects. A slippery situation of your life goes into a spiral storm with backflash moments.

Look at the various moods and textures on display in the images after the jump and look for the line in select retailers now. (more…)

I’ve come across some great brands since I began doing this and I honestly believe reporting on new labels that are starting off on the right foot is as exciting for me as it is for anyone reading. Don’t worry, I wont get emo on you guys (this time) and start pouring my heart out like I just won an Emmy. Back to business, folks.

We’d like to turn you guys to M Tokyo Japan, a label designed by keen mountaineer Mitsuo and manufactured using traditional techniques in a small workshop in Japan. To give you an idea of some of the old school tactics — natural dyed cotton is washed in the rivers by the workshop and dried under the sun on the riverbeds before being put into production. We’re not familiar with many designers that practice this ancient Japanese tradition.

With this fall collection being M Tokyo Japan’s first, we’re expecting them to continue delivering well-constructed pieces that are as functional as they are appealing for years to come. Some highlight pieces include a tweed hunting jacket with patches on the elbow and right shoulder as well as a mountain parka. These and other item’s from M’s rookie offerings can be found at Garbstore.

Nigel Cabourn‘s Mallory jacket goes in the “must-have” category, simply because you probably won’t find a better cut, more refined blazer made from Harris Tweed Herringbone for the fall. The shoulders and elbows are externally lined with an olive ventile fabric for added protection from whatever nature throws at you. Beyond the aesthetic appeal and enhanced functionality of this blazer, we think it’s also important to note this item was crafted using antique Japanese manufacturing techniques, which nowadays, seem like a dying trend.
