We got turned to FEIT a short while back and were just stunned at the time and attention to detail they dedicated to each and every sneaker they released. Yep, sneaker. Some boot- and shoe-makers don’t spend this amount of resources when they’re dishing out product. The brand’s Superclean Lows are un-matched on the market, just off the sneaker’s minimalistic design and use of top-notch materials. The shell’s made from supple French calfskin and is fitted with waxed cotton laces. Oh, and it features handsewn Goodyear construction. Unreal.
What’s even more unreal is the fact that we’ve been given the opportunity to giveaway five pairs of these beauties to our readers. (more…)

From Blackbird’s ongoing collaboration with Alden comes this Summer Oxford in a Reverse Tobacco Chamois shell. It’s a mixture of two well-recieved styles from the fruitful collaboration. This Summer Oxford, like other Alden pieces before it, is hand made with Horween leather in an all-natural, special recipe tanning process that can take up to six weeks to complete. Needless to say, the time dedicated to the making of each pair really shows in the final product.

The warmer it gets, the more we’re inclined to ditch our watches and put something a bit more lightweight and casual on our wrists. We’ve covered Profound Aesthetic’s wrist wear offerings in the past and they’ve just tipped us off to a new colorway being added to the brand’s well-recieved “Wood” Collection. They’ve dropped a new bracelet, this time opting for olive wooden beads and a black quartz stone. The piece always features an anchor finished in oxidized silver that is a welcomed touch.

This piece has been in the works for quite sometime now and we’re glad to see they took their time with this one. The Anorak is really well-designed as it uses a pullover construction with two way side ventilation. The magnetic front piece is fully adjustable while the shell’s made from 3XDry Cotton Linen fabric that’s soft and sturdy at the same time with some much welcomed performance from Schoeller’s 3XDry treatment in there as well.
